        I woke up in my hospital bed, I remembered what had happened. I still worried about Midnight, was he okay? A few hours later mom and dad came into the room.

"Hi sweet, hope we did not bother you." They said

"Nope," I responded turning my head away

"What's wrong?" They asked

"Midnight..." I said

"Yes, what's up with Midnight?" Mom asked

 "that's my question for you, is  Midnight okay?" I asked

"Oh, of course, we visited him yesterday," mom sounded like she was lying

"Mom, I don't believe you, tell me the truth," I said

"Alright, Midnight is not okay, the doctors are not sure what's happening, but Midnight is kicking and rearing when the vet's come into the room, he is usually good...right?" mom said

"Midnight's scared," I said

"How do you know that you have not seen him since the competition." mom said

"I just know him, mom, Midnight and I have been together since birth, Midnight needs me, take me to him," I said

"Sweet you can't leave the hospital until tomorrow." Mom said

"I don't care, mom, Midnight needs me...please, he is scared that I'm incredibly injured, I'm not and he needs to know, take me to him," I said

"Oh all right, ill ask the doctors," she said

        Mom left the room and came back a few minutes later with crutches, She then put me in the car and took me to the vet. When we arrived the vets lead me to Midnight's room. Midnight looked at me, looking scared. I reached my hand out to him and he calmed.

"It's okay boy, I'm here, let the vets help, the sooner you let them help, the sooner you can come home along with me," I said

         We spent a few hours there and when the vets came back Midnight allowed them to take him to the examining room. I could see his leg was swollen. We walked back to the car and I was back in the hospital. I was less scared now, and so was Midnight. We both knew each other was okay. I felt much better, and so did Midnight. I was excited to get home tomorrow, and when Midnight comes back and heals, we can train together again.
