"Hey Jake, how was school?" Pete asked Jake as he came into the kitchen.

"It was fine."
"Really?"
"Yeah, just get off my case will you dad."
"Sorry, I just wanted to make sure," Pete said as Jake sat down and put his head into his hands. "Are you ok?" Pete asked after a moment.

"I've got a headache that's all."
"Oh. Are you sure that you're ok?"
"Yeah dad."
"Alright." They worked away in silence until Jake stood up and hovered. "Jake? What are you doing?"

"Something doesn't feel right dad."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know, I," Jake said before he collapsed onto the floor and began seizing.

"Oh my God," Pete said, getting up. "Jake? Jake?" He asked, kneeling next to him. "Sue! Sue!" He called into the house. Jake began to choke and Pete turned back to him. "Ok Jake, it's ok, I've got you," He said, putting Jake into the recovery position.

"What's going on?" Sue asked coming into the kitchen. Pete looked at her and her gaze shifted to Jake having a seizure. "Oh my God."

"He's having a seizure, I don't know what caused it." He explained as Sue knelt beside him.
"Is he ok? Do we call for an ambulance? How do we help him?"
"We have to wait for the seizure to stop, and can you call for an ambulance?"
"Err, yeah."
"What's Jake doing?" Karen asked as she came into the room and Sue picked up the phone.

"Jake's not feeling very well sweetheart," She explained.
"Why is he shaking like that?"
"That's enough questions Karen, just go and play please," Pete said and Karen left as Jake gasped. "Jake?" Pete asked and Jake gasped again. It was obvious that he was half conscious but he couldn't talk. "It's ok, we're looking after you Jake."

"Yes, ambulance please. It's my son, he's having a seizure."

"Ok Jake, alright, ok," Pete said as Jake continued to seize.

"No he hasn't had one before."
"Da, dad," Jake gasped.
"Oh my God, he's awake."
"What? Yes, thank you, he's awake, is that normal? Oh right."
"Da, dad."
"Ok Jake, it's ok," Peter told him. "Where's that ambulance Sue?"

"It's coming," Sue said as Jake fell unconscious and stopped seizing.

"Jake? Jake, can you hear me?" Pete asked and Sue turned to him. "The seizure's stopped."

"How long was it?"

"About a minute and a half. Jake?" Pete asked, shaking him. "Jake? Can you hear me?"

"Is he awake Pete?"

"No, he's out cold."

"What on earth happened to him?"

"No idea."

"Where are they taking Jake?" Ben asked as they loaded Jake into the ambulance.

"They're taking him to the hospital," Sue explained.
"Why?"
"Was it something to do with him shaking?"
"Yes Karen."
"What shaking? Like a seizure?"

"Yes Ben like a… How do you know that?" Pete asked.
"We learnt it in class, what to do if someone has a seizure."
"Right, and what would you have done?"
"I don't know, I wasn't listening."

"Ben…"

"Is Jake going to be ok?" Karen asked.

"He'll be just fine Karen, they'll take good care of him."

"How are you feeling Jake?" Peter asked him as he came to Jake's bedside.
"Better. What happened to me dad?"
"You had a seizure. Your muscles went into spasm and you couldn't control it."
"It was very scary."
"I know it was."

"I was awake dad and you and mum were panicking."

"We were very worried about you. We might have even been more scared than you were."

"I doubt that."

"At least you're back to your good old self."

"Mr and Mrs Brockman I assume," The doctor said as they came over.

"Yes, hello."
"I'm Dr Garner. I've been looking at Jake's scans and it appears that the seizure was brought on by a trauma to the head."
"You mean that someone hit him?"
"Someone would have had to hit him very hard to induce a seizure. Could Jake have run into anything at home or something fell on him?"

"No, no were very safe at home but. Jake?" Pete asked.

"Yes dad?"

"Did the boys at school do something to you?" Pete asked and Jake went quiet. "Jake?"
"They pushed me into a wall alright, but it didn't hurt that much."
"Jake!"
"Oh my God!" His parents cried out.
"That might explain it then."

"I'm calling the school right now," Sue said

"It didn't happen at school."
"What?"
"They cornered me on the way home."

"Jake, you should have old us."

"These boys have done serious damage to you. You had a seizure for Gods sake," Pete told him.

"I know but it's ok, I'm fine."

"You are now. It could have been much worse."

"I know dad."

"I'm still going to tell the school," Sue said, calling them.
