Zack spine is literally cracked into 2 peices. Its such a scary sight. My eyes widen and I look at Zack. He knows something wrong the minute he looks at me.
"What is it" Zack say. I hand him the paper and his jaw drops.
"Oh my god" Zack says and looks at the doctor.
"Your going to be able to go home but will need a caretaker. Your injury is very serious. We can give you pills to get rid of the pain. You will only be able to take the pills for 2 weeks. After that, stop taking the pills. You will be in a lot of pain but you are going to have to deal with it in order for your back to heal. You also need to stay off your feet. You will need to be in a wheelchair for a bit. Come back once a week so we can check on your back. Other than that, your all good to go" Doctor Wheeler says.
"Ok" Zack says quietly. I can see that he is crushed. He likes doing things on his own and now he has to be helped with everything.
"Im guessing you two would like to be his caretakers" Doctor wheeler says pointing at Joe and I.
"Sure" Joe and I say at the same time.
"Ok I will get you your wheelchair. You can go home once I get back. It will only take a second" Doctor Wheeler says and walks out, shutting the door behind him. Zack covers his face with his hands and I hear him start fo cry softly.
"Whats wrong" I ask and run my finger through his hair.
"I dont want help. I can do things on my own" Zack says with his hands covering his face.
"I know Zack but your hurt. You need to get better and in order to get better we need to help you. Its gonna be ok" I say, looking at Joe who looks really upset. I can tell he feels just as bad for Zack as I do.
"Ok but if I tell you guys I can do something myself can you listen please" Zack says and moves his hands away from his face.
"Of course, as long as its something that you wont hurt yourself doing" Joe says and I nod.
"I know this is sounds weird coming from me but can you help me. I cant sit up on my own" Zack says and Joe stands up. I put my hands behind Zacks back and he flinches.
"Am I hurting you"I ask.
"No im just a bit sore" Zack says. Joe grabs his legs and I sit Zack up while Joe moves his legs so that they hang off the bed. I look at Zacks hand and see he is gripping the bed sheet.
"Zack whats hurting you" I ask and he looks at me.
"Nothing Im fine" He says and takes a deep breath.
"Zack no your not please dont lie" Joe says and looks at Zack. Zack looks down at the ground and stays silent.
"My back" Zack whispers softly. The doctor walks in and hands Joe Zacks pills and a paper saying when he should take which ones. He puts the wheelchair under Zacks feet and I put my arm around Zacks back and under his knees.
"Ready" I ask and he nods. I lift him up and put him in the wheelchair. He puts his hand on the armrest and squeezes really hard.
"Ok before you go all I need to do is give you one shot. I can see that your in pain and this should help" Dr. Wheeler says and Zack nods. He gives Zack the shot and he lets go of the Armrest.
"Is that better" Docter Wheeler asks.
"Ya. Thank you" Zack says and starts to wheel himself out. About halfway to the door he stops.
"The medicine is going to make him drowsy. Im guessing that he stopped because he is too tired to push himself" Dr. Wheeler says and starts to laugh. I laugh to and go to Zack and start to push him.
"Thank you for everything" Zack says as I wheel him out.
"No problem" Doctor Wheeler says back. I wheel Zack outside than stop.
"Joe please tell me that you drove yourself here and that we all have a ride" I say and look at Joe.
"Ya LOL" Joe says and we all walk/wheel to Joes car. By the time we get there Zack is already asleep.
"Thank god he fell asleep I didnt want to hurt him when I put him in the car" I say to Joe.
"Ya hes very skinny and fragile" Joe says and laughs. I roll Zack up to the passenger seat and open the door. I lift him up and put him in his seat and hop in the back. I put Zacks seat all the way down so he can sleep well.

Time Skip to Arriving at Zacks house.
-------------------------------------------
We pull into Zacks empty driveway and Zack is still asleep. His parents are on Vacation and havent been notified about his injury yet.
"Do you wake him up or carry him" I ask Joe, not knowing what to do.
"Should we just carry him into his room because he is most likely gonna wake up in pain and it would be better if he was in his own room when he woke up" Joe says and I nod.
"Ok I will carry him upstairs. Can you grab his wheelchair" I ask Joe.
"Already on it" Joe says, climbing out of the car and grabbing the wheelchair.
"Dont close the car door. It might wake him up" I say and Joe nods. I get out of the car and I open Zacks door very quietly. I put my arm around his back and under his knees and pick him up. He wiggles a bit but doesnt wake up. Joe opens the door and I walk up the stairs to Zacks room. I wait in front of the door and wait for Joe to come up the stairs. Once he gets up the stairs he opens the door to Zacks room and I walk in and place him on the bed.
Mass Uploading Is Pretty fun :)
