EVIE'S POV:
The film we were watching in Media Studies had flashing lights, and I tried to act as though I felt okay but I didn't. My eyes kept going funny, my head felt as though there was an elephant stamping around inside it and my body felt numb…
"Evie, Evie, you're okay." my friend Laura assured me as I opened my eyes "don't panic, you're okay."
"What happened?" I questioned
"You had some sort of seizure." the university nurse informed me "An ambulance is on it's way."
"Why?" I inquired
"You have to be taken to the hospital, Evie." she explained "For tests and scans. We don't know why you had this seizure. It could be to do with the attack, or it could be something completely different."
"But I've only just got back here, I can't leave again!" I proclaimed
"Stay calm and drink this." she replied, handing me a bottle of water as I was eased into a sitting position "What do you think caused it?"
"I don't know…" she admitted
JOSH'S POV:
My phone started to ring as I made my way back to the dorm room that evening. Pulling it from my pocket, I saw that it was Hannah's number…
"Hannah, hi, is everything okay?" I questioned
"We didn't want to worry you until your lectures had finished…" she admitted "But Evie's been brought into hospital."
"What? Why?" I inquired as I turned on my heel and made my way to the exit of the building "Is she okay?"
"She had some sort of seizure in her Media Studies lecture." she informed me "She's currently having a brain scan."
"I'm on my way!" I proclaimed as I hurried off campus "I'll be there as soon as I can."
EVIE'S POV:
"Did you ring Josh?" I asked Auntie Hannah as she sat at my bedside after I'd returned from my scans and tests
She nodded her head… "He said he'd be here as soon as he could."
As she finished speaking the door opened and Josh burst in… "I got here as soon as I could."
"Yeah, we can tell." Auntie Hannah chuckled "Sit down; I'll get you some water."
"Thanks." he replied "Are you okay?"
"I feel fine, and seem fine, but the doctors want to keep me in for observation." I informed him
"It's just procedure." Auntie Hannah admitted as she handed Josh a bottle of water "They'll want to monitor you just in case you have another seizure."
I nodded my head in understanding… "I've been thinking."
"What about?" she questioned
"What it could be, why I had a seizure so suddenly," I admitted "what if it is because of the attack? You read stories like it all the time, someone's hit over the head and a few weeks later they have a seizure, and it leads to an epilepsy diagnosis."
"You can't think like that, Evie." Uncle Zac informed me
"But I have to." I replied "What if it is epilepsy? It'll affect me for the rest of my life!"
"Come on, calm down," Auntie Hannah begged "you heard the doctor, stress isn't good for you!"
I sighed heavily… "What am I going to do if it is?"
"Whatever it is, we'll work through it together." Josh informed me as he took my hand in his "I promise."
What could be wrong with Evie?
