*Sammy's pov* (What the hell do I do? Eric was coming at me with a knife, Nick is passed out on the bed, and I am so close to peeing myself. I picked up the bat.) Sammy:Thank god I am a softball player!! (I hit eric straight int he stomache and he fell down. I lifted Nick up and carried him on my back.Man, I have to go up the stairs, and I don't have my shirt on!) Nick's Pov: (I heard Sammy screaming my name,a nd then she mentioned softball and then nothing. I felt somebody pick me up and a door open and close behind me. Then I heard feet climbing up a flight of stairs as fast as possible. Man I wish I could open up my eyes and tell her i am okay. After a while the person stopped walking and started going through my pockets. They grabded a plastic card out of my left-hand pocket. I heard another door open and close behind me. then I felt my body being laied*spelling* on a bed, and the persons body lying on mine. I could feel the persons breathe on my face. Cold tears streaming down my neck, and what felt like blood dripping on my cheek. I heard the voice calling out for me.And I knew who it was.) Sammy:Nick wake up.........Oh God please wake up. (After about an hour and a half of tears on my neck,blood dripping on ym face, and Sammy telling me to wake up. The common "nick....please wake up", or the diss "Nick, you idiot, wake up", or the cussing diss "Nick, wake the fu*k up you a**hole". I finally had the strength to open my eyes. When I did open my eyes, I saw Sammy's tear stained face. Her make up was ruined by her crying, the cut was still bleeding and she looked at me with pain in her eyes.) Sammy:*Dug her head in my chest* Nick I am so sorry.......It was my problem and dragged you into it.....I should've handled it by myeslf. Nick:Look at me* her head slowly rised and I stroked it with my hands* I wanted to help, because I love you, even you don't love me back. (She layed her head on my forhead and my head hurt alot so I let out a yelp.) Sammy:Nick i am so sorry!........Oh a bump is forming, I should get you some ice. (She was about to get up but I tightened my grip around her waist.) nick:No! last time I let you go, you got hurt. Sammy:nick you need ice.. I don't want to leave you either but you need it. Nick:fine.............take the key. ( I noticed she didn't have her shirt on.) Nick:Hey you need a shirt, take mine. *I took off my shirt, and she put it on and left.* (she came back with a bucketfull of ice.she went into the bathroom, and then came right back out with a towel. she placed the ice int he towel, and lightly put it on my head. It hurt so I let out another yelp. she quickly withdrawed her hand.) Sammy:Sorry (She tried to put it on my head, but I grabded her hand.) Sammy:What are you doing? nick:This * I pulled her on top of me and we started laughing. Instead of moving she stayed there, and eventually we fell asleep.* ------------------------------------------------------ There you go. Are you still for team eric. i sure wouldn't be. Just so you know I have a picture of my little brother in jail at the begingin. Please look at it. And Tiffiany, Ellie, and "Michelle", you guys are the best of friends ever. *Sammy*
