A couple of hours have gone by since Nick was taken into the emergency room. Brian, Rachel, and Kristin waited patiently in the waiting room. Brian was slumped over in his chair with his hands over his face.
"You okay?" Rachel asked as she rubbed her hand on his back.
Brian nodded. "Yeah, I just hate the idea of my best friend being in pain."
"I know," Rachel said with sympathy and kissed him on the cheek.
Just then, a doctor came down the hall and stopped in front of them. "Are you the friends of Mr. Nick Carter?" he asked.
"Yes," Kristin said as she stood up. "How is he?"
"He's doing just fine. It seems that he sliced his leg open by a loose nail on the slide. We gave him some stitches and a shot, so he should be fine."
"Can we see him?" Brian asked anxiously.
The doctor smiled. "Of course, he's in the last room down the hall."
The three of them walked down the hall and slowly opened the door to Nick's room. There he lay on the bed with his leg propped up and his eyes closed. Kristin walked over to his bed and sat down in the chair next to it. She grabbed his hand and Nick opened his eyes. He smiled at his first glimpse of her.
"Hey," he said in a hoarse whisper.
"Hey," Kristin said with a smile. "How are you feeling?"
"I've lost the feeling in my leg due to my foot being propped up like this. Other than that I'm fine," he said with a chuckle.
"Hey Frack," Brian said as he walked over to the foot of the bed.
"Hey Rok. Hey Rachel," he said in a groggy tone.
The doctor walked in with a clipboard in his hand. "I see you're still a little groggy form the IV we gave you. That will wear off soon. I'm gonna give you a prescription for the pain, but I advise you not to take it unless you absolutely have to. They're quite strong and can make you very drowsy."
"Doctor, we leave for an American tour in two days is Nick gonna be able to perform?" Brian asked.
"If he stays off his leg for a couple of days yes he will be able to. But I strongly suggest you get yourself some crutches to walk with and only stand on that leg when performing or rehearsing. The less you walk on it for a few days the better it will heal."
"Great, so when can I get out of here?" Nick asked while trying to sit up.
"Well, everything looks fine, no infections or anything of that sort. I'll send a nurse up here to take out your IV, and after you pick up your prescription you can go on home."
"All right!" Nick said, then moved his leg. "Ow!" he shouted.
"That is why you need to stay off it for a few days," he said with a chuckle. "I'll get a nurse up here right away."
"Thanks doc," Brian said then looked over at Nick. "Well, I guess everything's okay here. Do you two mind if Rachel and I leave? I'm sure you two want to be alone."
"No, go ahead. I can call a cab to take us to my place," Nick said.
"Are you sure?" Brian asked.
"Yeah, positive. You guys go have fun."
"Okay, we'll see you two later," Brian said as he and Rachel left the room holding hands.
"You okay?" Nick asked Kristin as he grabbed her hand.
"Yeah," she said softly. "I was a little scared."
Nick chuckled and squeezed her hand. "Get used to it. I'm accident prone," he joked.
"That's not funny," she said with a soft giggle.
"Then why are you smiling?"
"Because you're cute...even if you are accident prone," she said as she looked into his eyes and reached in for a kiss.
