Fred walked through the streets with numerous thoughts in his mind. He was oblivious of his surroundings. Reggie ran after him panting. He caught a glimpse of him walking absentmindedly."Fred!" He called in a high pitched voice.Fred turned slowly to face him. "What do you want?" He asked harshly. "I'm so sorry for what I said. I really didn't mean it. I know I've been a real jerk to you these past few years and I'm very sorry. Please forgive me," Reggie said looking apologetic. Fred nodded. His eyes getting teary. "I just want my best friend back," he said, his voice cracking. "I'm sorry," Reggie said. They hugged each other.Alice and Nora watched the scene from a distance."This is so cute," Alice said."Like a little reunion huh," Nora said.They both giggled. A car sped towards Reggie and Fred. They didn't notice it as they were still in each other's arms. "No!!!" Alice and Nora screamed at the same time as the car ran over them.The girls stood shocked in a spot as the
Nora stood up immediately when she saw her father enter the hospital. She ran to him and hugged him tight. "Dad," she whimpered. Akex gently patted her back. "Everything is going to be fine," he said. She disengaged from her father and pointed towards the emergency unit. They were about to leave the spot when Fred's mum rushed into the hospital. "Where is my son?" She cried, her voice trembled. Nora pointed towards the emergency room and Martha ran towards it. She tried to push the door opened but it was locked. She slumped to the floor and cried her eyes out. Alice, who has been sitting on the bench and watching the scene unfold before she finally stood up. She walked to Martha and gently patted her back."He'll be fine," she said weakly. Alex and Nora walked towards the two."Nothing is going to happen to him, okay? You need to pull yourself together," he said. Nora made to speak when Alex's phone started ringing. "Excuse me," he said and walked to a distance.Nora and Alic
"That was weird," Nora muttered. "Maybe he just doesn't want to allow strangers in his car. Don't think too much about it," Alice said. "And now we have to walk back to the hospital," Nora scoffed. Alice chuckled slightly. "Let's hurry back. The boys must be awake by now," Alice said. "I doubt that's possible. They were injected with sedatives. It will take a while for them to regain consciousness," Nora said. "Let's just go check on them," Alice said, rolling her eyes. Nora nodded and they walked off. ...Alice and Nora walked into the ward and met Martha still sitting by her son's bed. The boys were still unconscious. "You're back," Martha said and quickly dabbed her tears away. "I thought you left already," "We went to check on…" Alice nudged Nora slightly. She spoke instead "We decided to step out for a while to get some fresh air," Martha nodded. "You need to go home now. It's late and your parents must be worried about your whereabouts,""We'll just stay for a wh
Alice walked briskly to the hospital ward. She had sprinted from the car immediately when they got to the parking lot. She was so worried that she couldn't sleep well the previous night. She opened the door and saw that the boys were awake. "Thank God you're okay," she said and rushed to hug Reggie. Reggie chuckled slightly. "I'm fine, lollipop," he said. "I told you not to call me that again," Alice said and hit him slightly. Reggie winced in pain.Alice quickly disengaged from the hug."Are you okay?" She asked with concern. Reginald smiled. "I'm fine. Just pulling your legs," he said.Alice gritted her teeth. "Just be thankful that you're in the hospital right now or I swear I would break your bones for scaring me like that," she said in one breath. Reggie stared at her and suddenly bursted into laughter. Alice tried to hit him but stopped herself. She turned to Fred. "How are you feeling now?" She asked. "Really? Why didn't I get a hug too?" Fred said, pouting his lips.
Nora walked into the house. She passed her father's study and saw the door opened. She peeked in and saw him sitting with his head thrown back and his eyes closed, numerous files scattered on his desk. He looked miserable from a distance. She wanted to go in when she saw her mother approaching with a tray in her hands. She quickly hid herself. She had no idea why she did that. "She wasn't doing anything bad after all, so why did she feel like she needed to hide?" The question rang in her brain.She watched her mother walk into the study. She peeked in to get a clearer view. For some reasons that she can't comprehend, she felt that she might hear something if she stayed enough. Maybe for a few more minutes. "I brought your coffee," Penelope said, gently placing the tray on the small table directly opposite the desk. She sat on the couch beside it and poured the coffee. Alex stood up from the chair and went to sit next to his wife."Thank you honey," Alex said, taking a sip of the cof

The doctor gave Fred his clutches."You will have to use these for a while, you'll be fine in a few days," he said. He turned to Martha."Please make sure they come regularly for check-ups," he said. "I will make sure of that, thank you very much sir," Martha said. The doctor nodded and left."We'll take our leave now," Martha said to the rest as she helped Fred out of the room. Fred turned at the door and waved at the rest. The room was silent as the three of them were hesitant to talk. Reggie made to stand from the bed when he accidentally hit his wounded arm. He let out a painful yell. Alice and Nora rushed to him but Nora was faster. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt? Do I need to call the doctor?" Nora rushed her questions with concern evident in her voice. Alice glared at her, her face, green with jealousy. She had noticed that Nora had a thing for Reggie. Who wouldn't? He is a high school heartthrob. "I'm fine," Reggie said. He looked into her eyes and saw it laced with co
Reggie walked into the garage. He laid on the only available couch, staring blankly at the ceiling. He decided to go to the main house to check on his father when the door opened. His father walked in. "Dad?" He called in surprise. Charles walked in. He stood at a corner. "I realized that we haven't really seen each other for the past few days, so I came here to hang out with you," he said. He saw the cast on Reggie's arm."You got hurt?" He asked and walked to him. He sat next to him. "How? Where? When?" He rushed the questions, his voice laced with worry. Reggie thought hard. He was trying to come up with a convincing story. He didn't want to tell his father that he got into an accident. "I got hurt while playing football in school the other day. It's nothing serious. The doctor just insisted that I wear a cast to protect it from getting infected," he said. "I understand that he was trying to cover the wound, but a cast seems a bit extreme since it's just a bruise," Charles
