Nick Gets Hit by a Car

Nick, Matt, and Chris were walking down the street one night on the way to Nate's house. Matt had the idea to walk there because there had been such good weather lately, and he really just didn't wanna drive.

They were about halfway there when they saw this guy stumble out of a bar and hit the alarm for his car. He started looking around, and when nothing happened, he hit it again. The car alarm right next to them went off and made them jump. The guy smiled drunkenly at them and started getting into his car.

"Hey, are you okay to be driving?" Nick asked kindly. The guy rolled down his passenger side window and yelled out in a thick British accent, "Mind your business." Nick was surprised by this rude comment, but Chris said, "Let's just keep going, Nate's waiting. "

They continued walking and heard the drunk guy start his car behind them. They were way down the road from where they just were and were about a mile away from Nate's house.

They could see Nate's apartment. They looked both ways and started walking across the street. Everything that happened next happened in the span of a few seconds.

They were almost across the street when Nick heard a car rapidly approaching them. He looked back at his brothers and saw that they were directly in the path of this car and that neither of them were paying attention. The car was about to hit Matt and Chris.

Without thinking, Nick started running back towards his brothers. He shoved them out of the way, they fell to the ground and were about to be mad at Nick when a car came and smacked into Nick, causing him to roll onto the hood, the top of the car, the back of the car and onto the ground again. The car didn't even attempt to stop.

Matt and Chris lay there, shocked. Reality caught up to them, and they got up and started running towards Nick while screaming, "Nick!"

They got to where Nick was lying on the ground, motionless. Upon hearing the chaos, Nate looked out of his window, saw what was happening, and tan outside to help his friends. "I'll call 911!" Nate said and ran back to get his phone.

"Nick?" Chris said while gently rolling Nick onto his back so he could see his face. When they got a look at Nicks face, they gasped, and Matt had to look away for a second. Because there was blood absolutely covering Nicks face, and it was obvious that his nose was broken.

Chris put one hand on Nicks chest and one hovering above his face before exclaming, "It's okay, Matt, he's alive." Matt dropped to his knees on the opposite side of Nick from Chris and started lifting up Nicks shirt, looking for any really bad injuries. He saw what looked to be shards of glass all over Nicks stomach and chest.

Chris started very gently, shaking Nicks arm while saying, "Nick, wake up, man. I really need you to wake up." Just after he said this, he heard sirens approaching them. He could see the lights getting closer to them, but thats when Nick began violently shaking. "He's having a seizure!" Matt said, obviously panicking.

Not knowing any better, they started trying to hold Nick down. Nicks head was repeatedly banging against the road, and he was making these horrible choking noises.

The paramedics ran up to them, one of them told them to back up, and she turned Nick on his side. Nick took a deep breath in and, after a couple of seconds, slowly stopped seizing. They put him in a C collar, onto a back board, onto the stretcher, and lifted him into the ambulance.

Matt, Chris, and Nate were all just standing on the side of the road watching this when an officer came up to them and started asking questions. "Which of you were present for the incident?" The officer said, "Uh, just me and Matt," Chris said while pointing at Matt. And what are all of your full names?" The cop said. "I'm Nathan Doe, and this is Christopher and Matthew Sturniolo." Nate responded for them when it was obvious they were focused on Nick, rightfully so. "Okay, Mr. Doe. Im gonna have you go back to your house and well call you with any additional questions." The cop said. "Alright, let me know how he's doing whenever you find out." Nate said and gave Chris and Matt a hug before walking towards his house.

"What's your relation to the victim, and if you know it, what's his full name. Middle too." The cop asked the brothers. "We are his brothers, and his full name is Nicolas Antonio Sturniolo." Matt answered. "Okay, last question. Do you know anyone who would want to hurt your brother?" The cop asked. "No, i have n-," Matt started before Chris interrupted him. "There was this drunk guy earlier. He got really mad at Nick, and he was drunk driving. The only thing I know about him is that he's british, though." Chris said, mad. "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow to talk to a possible sketch artist. Will you write down your and Nathans phone number?"

They got done with the police and started speed walking home to get the car. They made it home, went inside, grabbed the keys, and got in the car. They started heading to the hospital, "Do you think Nicks gonna be okay?" Chris asked Matt. "Of course he is. We just have to be there for him when we get there." Matt responded.

They got to the hospital, walked in, and they went up to the lady at the front desk, "Hey, our brother was just brought in, Nick Sturniolo?" Matt asked. "Of course, will you just wait over there, and I'll call his doctor up." The lady said.

After 30 minutes of waiting, someone came through the door, "Family of Nicolas Sturniolo?" He yelled into the waiting room. Matt and Chris instantly stood up and started walking over to the doctor, "That's us, is he okay?" Chris asked. "Follow me, I'll tell you while we walk to his room." The doctor said and started walking, "He is gonna be okay but he has a couple broken ribs, a broken nose, a broken collarbone, a concussion, a fractured foot, and he had dozens of glass shards in his abdomen and in his face. He has a black eye and a split lip. He's gonna need a while to recover, but he will be okay. Here we are. Do you have any questions before you see him? Please understand that it will be scary to see him like this. The lights need to stay off, and could you please talk softly?" The doctor finished

"I don't have any questions." Chris said. "I think that we really just need to see him." Matt said. "Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and leave, enter whenever you're ready." The doctor said and walked away.

They walked into Nick's room and over to his bed, Matt on the left, Chris on the right. "Hey, Nick. How are you doing?" Matt asked in a hushed voice. "I'm in a lot of pain. Did they catch the guy?" Nick asked with a grimace on his face. "No, not yet. Did you see the car who hit you?" Chris asked. "I did. It was the british guy from earlier." Nick said.

"Thank you for saving us, Nick." Matt said when there was a silence for a while. "What do you mean?" Nick said, looking confused. "You pushed us out of the way. That car would've hit me and Matt if you didn't do that. You saved our life, kid." Chris said. Nick looked like he was remembering everything and started looking really upset, "Hey, you don't need to think about it right now. Just know that we are forever grateful for what you did for us, and we are glad you're okay." Matt said. "Of course, man, I'd do anything for you guys, even if I don't remember doing it." Nick said, and it looked like he was falling asleep mid sentence.

"Get some sleep, kid. You need the rest." Chris said. Before Chris even finished talking, Nick was out like a light. Matt and Chris looked at each other, and they both had pure relief on their face. "We love you, Nick." Matt said and kissed Nick on the forehead before sitting down on the chair behind him. Chris kissed Nick on his hand and then sat on the bed next to him and started stroking Nicks hair.
