Holstering High School 2 (The Walking Dead Game - Alternative Universe)

4 - Apologised

There was a sharp sound as I twisted my head to see what was around me. My vision was blurred. I attempted to refocus. It was easier to do than I first thought.

"Nick?" I whisper gently. The sound of car horns and sirens was in the background. The music continued to play gently.

I said maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me and after all, you're my wonderwall.

I see Nick, motionless in the car seat. I begin to panic and move, undoing my seatbelt.

"Nick? Nick? Come on wake up" I begin to cry. His head knocked backwards, his nose was bleeding. He didn't look as bad as he did when Braydon beat him but this was still pretty dramatic.

"Miss are you okay?" A man asks at the side door. He opens it up to release me.

"Help him! Help him!" I shout. The man stares at me until he realises what I'm talking about.

"Miss, I need you to go over there. This is a serious accident." He pushes me off to the side and I watch the emergency services attempt to dig Nick out of the mess of metal.

What if he had died? I wouldn't know what I would do with myself. They managed to drag him out after cutting part of the car open to help him escape. They instantly put him in the back of an ambulance. His body didn't move once, swinging like a ragdoll as they pulled him out. I began to gag, just wanting to keel over and vomit.

"Where are you taking him?" I panic as they shut the ambulance doors before I could climb inside with him.

"St Marcus memorial hospital. Its about a mile or so down the road" the man explains.

I stroke my hair backwards as I walk around aimlessly. I study the wreckage of Nicks car, there was no way he would ever be able to drive it again. It was ruined as the large truck had splatted it like a fly against the front.

I needed to contact everyone. First of all I rang Pete who said he would get down there as soon as possible. I was panicking too much to even ask him for a lift. I tried to ring my dad, no answer. The same with my mom.

I was stuck near the crash site with no money to get a bus or cab. No way of getting the hospital. I flicked through the contacts on my phone once more. Then one stood out.

Luke.

I felt awkward ringing him but I think he needed to know about what was going on with his friend and I really need to get to that hospital.

"Clem? Is that you?" He actually answers, to my surprise.

"Thank God, I need your help. Are you free?" I ask quickly.

"What's going on? Are you okay?"

"I need you to come to the Milton cross road, there's been an accident and I need a lift to the hospital, they've taken Nick" I try to explain the best I can calmly.

"Fucking hell! Is he okay?"

"Please just come here quick." I beg him.

"Alright, calm down. I'll be there soon, please just stay calm." He asks me before hanging up the phone.

I didn't know what to do with myself as the police directed traffic. I walked down the road slightly so Luke would have somewhere to pick me up and as soon as he drove past I signalled him and got into the car.

"Is he okay?" Luke asks anxiously.

"I don't know Luke, that's why you have to take me to the hospital" I growl slightly gritting my teeth together tightly due to stress.
