The day had come to an end. Matthew still had no idea on what he was doing to do for his dare. Meeting up with his sister he said good-bye to his friends then the twins made their way towards their dad’s car.

Matthew was not paying any attention to anything; he could hear his sister talking but had no idea on what she was saying. Matthew was so out of it that he didn't even noticed that he had just wondered into the middle of the road, and did not see the car speeding towards him.

"MATTHEW!!!" his sister screeched, knocking him out of his trance. But it was too late. Matthew looked up to his screaming sister before noticing the car speeding towards him. There was nothing he could do. It was like someone had glued his feet to the floor.

'Oh, crap' Matthew thought to himself before being flung over the bonnet.

Matthew must have blacked out, because the next thing he knows was he was in that back of an ambulance. It felt like he was dreaming, and the whole day never happened.

Just then he suddenly resized that it was not a dream and that he had deftly been hit by a car. He could hear and see everything.

A cute female paramedic quickly checking him over, the silence of the ambulance, and his sister crying on her dad's shoulder.

“Hello, Matthew. I’m Jan, a paramedic for the Victoria hospital. Do you know what happen to you?”

“What happed to me? A car hit me… I think…?” Matthew said feeling a little confused about the question.

“That right” Jan smiled just as the ambulance stopped. She opened the door and pulled the stretcher out. Matthew suddenly felt strange, like his leg was not there.

Matthew could see Jan talking to a doctor; he was not really paying attention to what they were saying. After Jan left, Matthew was left by himself in a cubical. He could not see his father or sister anywhere.

Matthew took this opportunity to look around, the curtains were drawn, he was hocked up to heart monitor, and there was a glass of water on the table by his bedside. Just then a doctor pulled back the Curtain making poor little Matthew jump.

“Hello I’m Doctor Sims” The man said looking into a cart.

“Where’s my dad,” Matthew said trying to get the doctor to look at him.

“He is in the waiting room, he will be able to come and see you after your x-ray and scan” the doctor finely looked and the helpless boy and smiled at him.

Matthew noticed that Doctor Sims had bright blue eyes, they was almost the colour of the sky. He felt like he was getting down closer and closer to him and for some strange resin he wanted the doctor to touch him.

“What’s the scan for?” Matthew said with a gulp.

“It’s nothing to worried about, just a routine. I need to make sure that nothing has happened to you brain.” He then pushed his fingers though the back of his hazelnut hair.

Matthew could not believe the thoughts that were going though his head. ‘why do I want the doctor so much, it’s like he is on purposely trying to flirt with me…’ he thought watching the doctor drift his finger down the chart.

“I’ll have a nurse come and get you for you test.” And with that the doctor left.

Matthew noticed that he was a little more aroused by the doctor. “This is all Josh’s fault” he muttered under his breath. “If he had never made me think about kissing guys, then I would not be doubting my sexuality now!!”

After all the x-ray and brain scan Matthew was put back in his little cubical, and his family was shown in. Kelly emduitly throw her arms around Matthew’s neck.

“I’m so glad you okay,” she cried.

“I’m fine” Matthew patted her on the back.

“The doctor said that you could go as soon as they put a pot on you leg.”

Matthew smiled at his dad; he could see the relief on his face. “I’m going to call your mother, she is going to want to know what happens” he pursed as he pulled his phone out of his pocket, then added “wish me luck!”

Matthew and Kelly’s parents were not married. They had been best friend sins they was little, but had a drunken night together over 18 years ago. Once they found out that they were going to be parents Matthew’s dad decided to stay and help look after them. They had never really been a couple and probably never would be.

Kelly smiled at her little twin. “Your really lucky” she said sitting on a chair next to his bed.

“How am I” Matthew replied.

“All the problems you have when you was born, going in and of hospital all thought your childhood, and getting hit by a car!”

“I wouldn’t call that lucky sis!” Matthew scratched the back of his head, not knowing what his sister was talking about.

“No matter what happens to you, you never lose your smile!”

“Smile??” Matthew looked back at his sister

“I’ve always loved they was nothing could get you down!” Kelly hugged her younger twin then stood up out the chair. “I think I should get us some coffee.” She added.

Just then someone walked towards Matthew and his sister. He had brunet hair and a write top on. Matthew recognized him from college, it was Scott. He was in some of Matthew’s classes.

“Can we help you?” Kelly said looking at the strange boy.

“Yeah well… I err wanted to say sorry!” Scott said putting his bag on the bottom of Matthew’s bed.

“Sorry for what?” Matthew asked.

“I wanted to say sorry for hitting you with my car!” Scott replied with a smile.
