I slowly began to open my eyes, my whole body hurt. But, mysteriously, not as bad as it used to do. After I´d had a seizure. For once, I didn´t feel sick either, just very, very tired. I managed to sit, with my back against the sofa. I then reached for my phone, for some reason. I could see that Leon hadn´t hung up yet.
"Mm." I put it to my ear.
"Emma? What happened?"
"Seizure," I mumbled. And tried hard to stand up. "I´ll go tell Mike. Bye." I hung up, and put the phone in my pocket. I leaned against the wall not to fall over, and slowly I came closer to the kitchen. Where I stumlbled in and towards the bench.
"Emma?" Mike stood up. And rushed to my side. "What happened?"
"Sei… zure." I managed to mumble. Before fainting again.
Mike´s point of view
I managed to catch the fall, when Emma fainted.
"Emma," I shook her. "Emma, can you hear me?"
"What´s happening?" I could hear Jess´s voice from behind me.
"I´ll explain later, I´m taking her to the quiet room for now. Just keep on eating." I lifted Emma up properly. And carried her to the quiet room. Where I laid her down in one of the sofas. I sat down in the opposite sofa.
"I, I don´t know if you can hear me now Emma." I said. "But… I´ve noticed, you´ve changed a lot lately. When you came here, immediately you were the one, that no one started to fight with. They just accepted you right away. But lately, you´ve seemed so… strange. It´s like you´ve turned back to the person you were, the first few weeks when you were here."
Flashback
"Babes, you have to eat." I watched Gina, trying to convince Emma to eat more than just a few bites of the dinner.
"I don´t want to." She mumbled. And kept on pushing the food back and forth at her plate.
"Emma." Johnny looked at her. "You have to eat. You refusing to eat isn´t gonna bring your family back ya know."
"Shut up." She told him. "You know nothing about my parents, or where I came from."
"I know they´re…"
"I said shut up." Emma stood up, she left her plate on the table, while jogging upstairs.
End of flashback
Another flashback
"Emma?" I opened the door to Emma´s room a little. She had, as usual squatted down, with her back against the wall. She held her forehead in her hands, and when she looked up. I expected her face to be red, and swollen of crying. But it wasn´t she just had those dark shadows under her eyes, that meant that she hadn´t slept anything this night either.
End of flashback
"Emma, I think there is more than just Tee and Johnny leaving, and Jordan and Jess arriving that bothers you I know it is. I can see it is. And when you´re ready to talk about it. I´m right here."
