Chapter 3- By: Carter

Nick woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon and eggs.

“Mm that smells good” Nick realized he had a broken foot He groaned. He had forgotten what went on the night before. He laid their starring at the ceiling. He wanted to get out of bed. He finally sat up. He swung one leg over the bed good so far. He sat there for a while and let his foot dangle over the side of the bed. He soon got enough courage and swung the other leg letting out a scream of pain. He soon heard footsteps come racing up the stairs.

“Are you alright Nick?” Brian asked.

“Yes I am”

“Here let me help you?” Brian said grabbing Nick’s crutches.

“Rok. I am okay. I don’t need your help. I am not a baby you know,” he said. He always hated when they tried to help him. He was 22 years old I am sure he is capable of doing things on his own now.

“Jeez sorry Nick” Nick grabbed the crutches from Brian. He got up and fell right back down again.

“Frick I don’t know if I can do this” he whined.

“Frack yes you can just believe in yourself,” Nick sat there and thought about what Brian had said. And he guesses he was right. Nick got up one more time.

“How in the do you do this?” Nick asked.

“Walk on the one foot that isn’t broken and swing with the other,” Brian tried to explain it the best way the he could to Nick. Nick wasn’t so sure about it at first, but Brian was his friend and he trusted him. He tried it. So far so good. Nick walked out of the room. Brian took a hold of Nick’s crutches while Nick walked down the stairs carefully so he wouldn’t hurt himself even more than he already was. Nick took the crutches at the bottom of the stairs and walked into the kitchen and sat down on the stool.

“Here eat this I made it myself” Brian winked. Nick knew he didn’t make it. Leighanne probably did.

“Uh huh sure you did,” Nick chuckled.

“I did honestly. Hehe. Anyway I almost forgot -your pills” Nick groaned.

“Do I REALLY have to take it?” Nick whined.

“Yes. Man how did mom ever get you to take them?”

“I never did. I always pretended” Nick smirked.

“Don’t you try that with me. Here is some orange juice to wash it down with.”

“Yes mother,” Nick groaned again and did as Brian said to do and took the pills.


After Nick was done he walked out in the living room. He realized he didn’t have his playstation. Nothing to play with or nothing to do.

“What could I possibly do?” he said aloud. He soon got an idea.

“Brian!”

“Yea!”

“Can you get me a glass of water?” Nick heard Brian open up the cupboard and soon heard the water running.

“Hmm I wonder what else I can get Brian to do?” he thought. He saw Brian set the glass of water on the table.

“Frick can you do me a favor and go over to my house and get me my playstation please? I wouldn’t want to bug you,” he said.

“Okay fine. If anything goes wrong call me on my cell,”

“Okay” Brian grabbed his coat and keys and walked out the door.

“This should be fun. I now have my amusement while I am stuck here. I can’t believe I just got away with this,” he wondered how long he could actually keep it up. He figured he could do it as long as his foot was broken. This should be an interesting 4 to 6 weeks.
