It felt as if he had not slept for years.
Aiden woke up to the sound of his phone vibrating furiously next to his pillow. A quick glance at the window told him that it was already late in the night.
"Oh God," Aiden mumbled before he quickly grabbed his phone. It was his grandmother.
"Grandma?"
Grandma Thompson's angry voice blared from the speaker.
"Aiden Thompson! I have called ten times! Where have you been? I am this close to calling the police!!"
Aiden wiped at his face.
"I think I fainted. No, Grandma, I am okay now. I was sleeping the whole afternoon. I don't think I can come home tonight. I will be back tomorrow. Please pack first..."
After ensuring his grandmother repeatedly that he was doing fine, Aiden bade his grandmother good night and ended the phone call. He gazed at the night sky outside and sighed again.
The curtain was drawn to the side and the doctor in charge approached Aiden's bed.
"You finally woke up. Do you feel better?"
"Yeah, I... Did I faint?"
