People with bad communications skills aka my family.
Story: My brother comes online and tells me "Derek called to say he wont be there to pick you up from scool." Why? "He didn't say. He sorta rushed to get off the phone."
So I immediately know something is wrong and run from where I'm sitting in the pub to my locker to grab my cell and call him. No answer. At this point I am crying thinking there was some emergency and that it must be bad cause he didn't give much info so I wouldn't worry. (wierd eh?) I call home and ask my dad what's going on, in the meantime the hall is crowded and I am getting claustrophobic. So my dad says "His Mom called this morning and said Derek's sick.. something about the hospital." !!!!!!!!!!! I call his Moms and finally get the whole stroy which was that last night Derek got the flu, and then this morning because of dehydration he went blind, and then passed out. his dad heard the thud of him hitting the floor and brought him to emerg. where he has been on an IV.
I'm still freaking out and making myself sick. I asked my Dad to come get me from school cause I cant deal with being here knowing my bf is sick. It's my job to be there and my job to take care of him so I can't function right now and am skipping class. Missing a class is making me feel guilty though, and just wanting a hug is making me feel selfish cause I shouldn't need taking care of right now.
