chapter thirty two

when Nick woke up

"where am I" Nick asked

"in the hospital" his mom said

he got shocked and rose up, and then started panicking

"Joan! where's Joan! where's she"

"calm down, think about yourself for now" his mom said

"no mom where's Joan, I need to see her please" he said almost crying but his mom refused to let him leave

"please mom, I need to see her" he said as he tried to get up

"I said no, you're not going anywhere, think about yourself, and besides Joan is ok" his mom said

"please mom, let me see her... just for a moment..... please" Nick pleaded

" let him go" his father said to his mom as he walked upon the scene, at first his mom refused but then she did let him leave

"why did you let him leave, he's not well" his mom said

"he won't be at peace until he sees Joan ok"

"Joan didn't get hurt, she only got a little scratch, it's like he did all he could to save her not minding himself. he hurt his hand and he might not play basketball for the meantime and he seems not to be aware that his hand is hurt and that bothers me"

"at least our son is still alive, don't worry.

as for going to look for Joan, I guess he feels guilty he was the one driving, he needs to know Joan is indeed ok and about his hand it's only for sometime so don't worry" his dad said and hugged his mom

"you know how important basketball is to him when realization hits him, I don't know how he will feel and that worries me"

Nick hissed on his way to Joan's, he was too worried about Joan to think of himself.

on his way there he was so scared, what if something has happened to her because of his mistake, forgetting what his mom told him about her being ok.

when he got there she was sleeping, he looked at her careful and said

"thank goodness nothing happened to you" he calmed down, he left the room to allow her rest, he decided to go back to his room but when he got there, he wished he hadn't come so soon.
