Shortly after, the paramedics showed up and got Michael ready to be moved to the hospital. “One last thing Nate,” Michael said as they were loading him up. “Next time let’s meet up at my place.” And with that, they were off to the hospital, leaving Nate alone. He looked out to see the sun beginning to rise. The worst day of his life was finally over.
