I woke up to the sound of Dylan and Devin talking and opening doors, and walked outside of my room.

"What's wrong?" I murmured.

Devin started putting his shoes on.
"I have to get home." he answered, in a panicked tone.

"Is everything ok?"

He grabbed his keys.
"It will be."

What's that supposed to mean?
I wanted to know what was going on.

I climbed out of my bed and followed him into the hallway in my pajamas.

"What's wrong?" I repeated myself, in a more serious tone.

He was looking at his phone screen, and he let out a deep sigh.
"Dad's getting admitted to the hospital."

My eyes widened.
"Why?"

"He had another heart attack. They're pretty worried about him. Mom said this might be something serious." he said.

"I'm so sorry."

He smiled.
"It's gonna be alright, Madison."

"I know I just hate that it's happening."

"You don't have to be worried. This is becoming a routine."

"Call me if you need anything." I muttered.

"Bye Madison." he chuckled, and went downstairs to leave.

I mentally winced.
Devin's dad has always had medical problems, but they've progressively gotten worse as time went on.
