My head was killing me since the seizure I had was pretty bad.

I ended up smashing my head on the ground when wasn't great but I had to pretend everything was okay.

I wasn't going to tell the kids about it because they would just worry. I'm sure it was because of the stress and how tired I have been, but I had to be careful about driving them.

It would be so bad if I had a seizure while driving again, especially since I wasn't supposed to be driving to begin with.

Once Juniper was in bed I went to check on the others, making sure they were done with their homework.

"Knock knock." I said as I knocked on Jenna's door. "What's up, Jules?" Jenna asked, looking up from her kindle.

"Doing homework check and saying goodnight." I said and sat on the bed. "Homework has been done. You should be worrying about Carter and Sam doing theirs." She said with a laugh.

"Yeah, I guess." I said as she put her kindle down.  "Are you okay?" She asked as I nodded. "Yeah, just tired. Try to get to bed soon, alright?" I asked and stood up.

"Will do. I'll see you in the morning." She said as I nodded. "See you in the morning. Love you." I said then left to go to Carter's room.

"Hey, Jule." Carter said as I walked into the room. "Homework check." I said as he chuckled. "Done." He said with a nod.

"All of it?" I asked and raised my brows. "Most of it." He said causing me to laugh. "Get it done, man." I said and took the sketchbook in his hand and set it to the side.

"Alright, alright." Carter said then grabbed his book bag. "I'll see you tomorrow. Love you." I said then kissed his head and went to go to Sam's room.

"Hey, kiddo. What are you working on?" I asked and walked into the room. "An English paper." He said as I nodded.

"Are you almost done with it?" I asked and walked up to him, putting my hands on his shoulders.

"Yeah. Almost." He said then looked up at me. "You look tired." He said causing me to laugh.

"Thanks. So do you." I said with a laugh. "Finish your paper then get to bed, okay?" I asked and ruffled his hair.

"You got it, boss." He said with a laugh. "Love you." I said then left the room.

When I got back to my room, I laid on the bed and grimaced at the pain in my head.

After a second I grabbed my phone and FaceTimed Colby.

"Hey, sweetheart." He said with the same stressed out look on his face he was wearing before.

"Hey." I said with a small smile. "Still trying to figure out that password?" I asked as he nodded. "Yeah, I wish I could just text him and ask him what it is." He said then laughed.

"Although if I knew he would answer, then I would just ask him where he was." He said with a hint of sadness.

"I know this is hard. You're gonna find him though, I just know it." I said with a reassuring smile.

"I hope so." He said then looked at the screen. "What happened to your face?" He asked causing me to scrunch my brow.

"What?" I asked with confusion. "The side of your face is bruised. Did someone hit you?" He asked, his eyes going hard.

"No. Nobody hit me." I said with a sigh. "I had a seizure." I said as his face dropped. "Shit." Colby whispered as I shook my head.

"I don't want to talk about it..." I said quietly, looking away from the screen. "I mean I get that but it's something we need to discuss." He said as I looked back at the screen.
