She opened her eyes and looked around. It was raining slightly and dark out. The last thing she remembered was talking to someone, then metal smashing, and screams, then it all went black. She looked over and saw her best friend, Brian lying not to far away from her. She shook him awake and he sat up.
“What happened?” she asked, a little shaky.
“I think we crashed into something.” Brian replied. They both got up. They had been thrown from the bus that they were on. Brian spotted Kevin and AJ lying near the semi-truck that they had collided with. They were both dazed and sitting up, but AJ’s arm looked funny. He might’ve broken it. She spotted Howie over to her left. She walked over to where he was laying and nudged him slightly to wake him.
“Wha…what happened?”
“A truck collided with us. Are you ok?”
“I don’t know. My leg hurts a lot.”
“Which one?”
“The left one.”
She checked it and found that it was broke. She called Brian over to help her get Howie over to the others. Once Howie was sitting by the rest of them they all looked each other over. Everyone was bruised and bleeding. Kevin told her that she had blood coming out of a gash in her forehead, arm, and leg. She didn’t feel any pain. She was too worried about everyone else to care.
“Wait…where’s Nick?”
“I don’t know,” AJ replied. “Before this happened he was in the back of the bus.”
“I’m going to go look for him.” She said. She got up and left the others to go find Nick. She headed to the back of the bus. The bus had turned on its side.
"Nick? Nick?!" She became frantic when she saw a trail of blood leading to the other side of the bus. As she rounded the corner she saw him leaning against the bus holding their 5-month-old son. Nick's cell phone was at his side. There was blood coming out of his head and a red stain forming on the side of the shirt that he was wearing.
"Nick! Are you okay?!" she asked frantically.
"I'm in a lot of pain. Nicky here's ok as far as I know." Nick groaned in pain. Nick jr. opened his blue eyes and stared at his mother. She took him in her arms and cuddled him. He had some scratches all over his body, but he wasn't crying. She figured that Nick saved him somehow.
"Nick, we have to get back to the others."
"I can't move. My leg is broken and my left arm hurts really bad. I think I broke that too. But I called 911. They're on their way. How are the others?"
"Well, AJ has a broken arm, Howie has a broken leg, and that's all the injuries I know of."
"Well, you look pretty bad."
"You look worse."
Nick whimpered in pain and clutched his side. She took her shirt off and put Nick jr. on it. She then went over and held Nick in her arms. As she was comforting him Brian came over.
"Nick! Oh man…you look really bad."
"I'll…be fine. The paramedics are on their…way," and with that Nick closed his eyes and drifted into unconsciousness.
"Nick? Nick?!" she screamed as sirens approached and tears streamed down her face. "Nick, please don't leave me!" she screamed as the paramedics took her and Nick jr. away and into a waiting ambulance.
