chapter forty six

Joan took Nick inside and insisted for him to sleep but he kept on chanting;

"Joan I need to tell you something"

"Joan please it's important, I need to tell you something important"

" Joan listen to me, I have to tell you now"

but Joan always cut him off,

the medicine started to kick in

"Joan I will sleep a little but don't go anywhere I have something to tell you, I ..... you" Nick said and slept

"what did he say" Joan who couldn't hear when back to the living room to get the medicine, when she got there

"why did Leticia buy this cream, wait is Nick hurt somewhere else too"

she rushed inside and observed him, she removed his sleeves and she saw scratches on his hands

"what happened to you? who did this" Joan questioned but the one to answer was asleep

she applied the cream to his scratches and doing so tears fell when she stared at it for long.

she raised his hand to her lips and she kissed the back of his hand

"I am sorry for being so angry" she said

she saw him shaking his head and he was dreaming again, his temperature became high again, so she went to get a bowl of water

when she got to the kitchen, she was bothered a little

"what actually happened to Nick, what is he dreaming about, what keeps on tormenting him"

this time in Nick's dream, he saw a car driving at high speed, he wanted to stop them and tell them that they might crash, so they should slow down before he could do anything the car crashed and he saw blood everywhere and then there was this voice blaming him for the people who died, the voice kept on saying worst things about him and kept on blaming him for the blood everywhere, he moved closer to the car and when he decided to look inside he fell down and his hands was tainted with blood, he got scared and just then the voice started again

"murderer!!! , murderer!! you're a murderer"

he shook his head and before he could say something, he saw Joan looking at him with disgust

"no... no ... I am not...."

he said as he shook his head but Joan left him standing there

"soon she see the real you and you will be left all alone" the voice said and laughed

Nick kept on shaking his head

"no he can't lose Joan"
