Nick thought that his world had come to end and that he would never be able to understand what was going on. He paced his house back and forth wondering what was going on. Anger could bring out the worst in people but he never thought that it would come to this. The event of Nick’s boat going up suddenly had appeared on the news. He just assumed that whom ever had done it would just think he died in the explosion until the news lady told that Nick himself had been saved cause he had gone back to the house and answered the phone. Brian had called later to be sure his friend was safe and all right. Nick figured nothing else could possablely go wrong. Boy could he have ever been more wrong.
It had been three weeks since the boat had exploded. And Nick had decided to keep a low profile thinking maybe someone was out to get him. He had even had his security on site more often. Going out only when he absolutely needed to. It was a nice evening when he was thinking it was getting better no one had bothered him and the boat incedent had been just that once. Going out on a day drive alone he thought would be good to clear his head. Taking his car he drove down the road windows open. He felt that the wind would help his head clear. He looked in his rear view mirror seeing a man driving rather close to him. Not thinking that there was anything wrong with the idea of someone driving close till the car hit him hard.
“ What the Fuck.” Nick hissed keeping his car under control. A few more hits and Nick prayed he could keep his car under control. Suddenly his cell phone rang. Pushing the talk button he screamed into the phone.
“ WHAT?”
“ Nick buddy what’s wrong?” Brian’s concerned voice
“ Someone is trying to run me off the road.” Nick screamed as the car got hit again.
“ Oh my god Nick pull off the side of the road.” Brian begged his fiend. Nick was too upset to deal with all that was going he missed a turn and his car went off the side of the road.
“ NICK NICK ANSWER ME! NICK!” Brian screamed into the now dead phone.
He now lay in the hospital having a doctor looking at his now broken leg and several broken ribs.
“ Well Mr. Carter it seems that your going to heal but its going to take a while to get you that way do you have anyone that can come get you?” The doctor asked looking at him.
“ Yea I have my friend that can come get me.” Nick said sadly.
“ Well your going to need to stay with them for a while since you have broken your leg and ribs we don’t want you doing anything that could get you hurt any further.” The doctor told him. Nick shook his head and looked away from the doctor.
“ Here is my friends number can you call him for me?” Nick asked handing over Brian’s number.
“ Sure. I’ll leave you alone.” The doctor said taking the number and leaving the room. Nick layed back against the bed and cried. This couldn’t be happening was someone trying to kill him was his life that bad. Closing his eyes he tried to clear his mind when he heard Brian’s voice.
“ Hey buddy you ready?” Brian asked coming into the small cubical.
“ Yea. Just got to help me.” Nick said sadly.
“ Yea I know I am sorry buddy I rushed over as soon as I could I mean I was on the phone with you during the accident but I was so worried I didn’t dare drive. Nick are you ok buddy?”
“ Someone is trying to kill me Brian.” Nick said a few tears running down his cheeks.
“ Nah it was an accident buddy.” Brian said trying to calm his friend. Nick looked at him and nodded. Brian helped his friend from the hospital taking the persrcirpion from the doctor and left taking Nick home with him.
