Shit

I look around quickly for strangers

Sulli is safe

No one else is here

I told Banks that I loved hi Sulli I love her Awesome

So very awesome

I push my hair back My heart rate accelerates even faster, and Banks tilts his head, looking up at , understanding gaze just punctures me more

Very gently, he says, “It’s not a brain aneurysm”

Sulli co beside Banks She helps hi on the ground and in need of assistance

I lick e my knuckles, but my phone is in my fist

They both know my mom has been in the hospital for brain aneurysery for three Saht now

Sensitivity to light

Nausea

The day she had her first seizure, I found her in the kitchen I was eighteen I’d just lost ht I was about to lose my mom

After she got a diagnosis, she chose to move back to New York Family upon family are all there, cousins and aunties and uncles who are closer than close Family that my parents left when they had row up around

It was always just me and my mom and my dad

Thais look after their elderly parents, and even though she wasn’t old yet, I thought my mom would let me help her Be there for her Take care of her

But she chose New York and her brothers and sisters a year after I opened ym in Philadelphia A year after I sunk my dad’s life insurance into a business that I couldn’t abandon

A year after I committed myself to the city where she raised me

She left, knowing that I couldn’t follow

I was nineteen

And she keepslike she left because she didn’t want to burden ardless if she’s a mile away or a hundred

And now I’m afraid for Banks

“You can’t be sure it’s not a brain aneurys worse”
