No Control | A Jemi Love Story

Episode 13

"Just take it off, I don't want it anymore!" Joe exclaimed but Denise shushed him holding his hand, she would never have thought that something like this would happen just because he can't play football. He hadn't been the same since the accident and she was starting to believe that she would never get her son back.

"Now you know we will do everything we can before amputating it." The doctor warned, Joe just closed his eyes feeling the pain coming back., it felt worse than when the accident actually happened but he was unconscious for most of this time. He could feel himself becoming dizzy from the pain even though they had given him enough pain relief to give expectant mother more ease. Joe just had enough, he just wanted to play football.

Neither Nick or Demi could get back to sleep after what had happened, they both ended up downstairs watching TV again. They were worried about Joe and whether he would recover from this. If he would ever walk again. Fortunately they managed to fall asleep while watching TV Paul leaving them alone when he saw staying in the kitchen with his breakfast and a newspaper. Demi was the one who woke up first sitting up straight stretching out her limbs before settling back down on the couch but she couldn't help but smile when she saw a picture of the family by her side. She could tell how proud of their sons the parents were having their pictures all around the house and the achievements they have earned through their lives. She could tell the four of them were brothers they looked alike.

"Hello Demi." Denise greeted as she entered the living room being quiet when she saw that Nick was still asleep. Demi gave her a smile.

"Hi, how is he?" Demi inquired concerned for him, Denise just sighed.

"He's damaged his knee even more, he needs physiotherapy twice a week to build the muscle back up. They have told him he won't even be able to play football anymore and he's devastated." Denise explained but Demi was just glad to hear he will be able to walk.

"Where is he now?" Demi inquired again.

"Having his first session, I've come to get him some clean clothes for him to change into after a warm bath," Denise stated Demi nodding her head."Your welcome to come down with Nick when he's awake if you wish." Demi knew there was no not going, they both wanted to be there for him. She was just relived that he was okay.

Joe was helped through the room by Nick and another nurse not having his crutches back, he just had a warm bath to sooth the muscle. Joe was helped onto the bed Nick pulling the cover half way up his body, Joe sighed of relief relaxing down on the bed. The nurse left after promising to bring him something to eat.

"I'm sorry if I disappointed you." Joe mumbled looking down at the bed sheets.

"You didn't disappoint us, just worried us. I'm sorry for snapping at you, I guess I just don't understand what it's like to not be able to do something you love." Nick admitted.

"It's horrible but I would have amputated my leg by myself by now if I didn't have all the support from everyone." Joe confessed.

"We're your family Joe we're not just gonna ignore you and leave you to yourself to get better." Nick stated making Joe laugh slightly. He felt tired though not having slept since he arrived to the hospital. He planned to get some sleep after he had something to eat.

"Sorry about lunch we'll do it another time." Joe promised.

"It's fine, we have plenty of time and Nick agreed for you to come on tour with us." Demi explained Joe sighing.

"I don't know if I can do that guys..." Joe spoke but got interrupted.

"Your coming, you don't have a choice." Nick demanded Joe chuckling nodding his head.
