This is short and might have typos but it's just to set up the story. Let me know what you think of this idea and a longer, better formulated chapter 2 will be on its way.

"Conrad I can't keep doing this with you!" Nic yelled, she was so tired of fighting, of trying to figure out what was going on inside his head, it was just too much for her.

"You don't have to" was all he said before walking out, the door shutting behind him. Nic broke down, not because of the fight but because she had just recently found out she was pregnant and hadn't managed to tell Conrad yet. Now that she saw how dysfunctional their relationship was she was worried about what bringing a baby into all this would lead to. She tried to clear her head, deciding that going for a walk might be good for her.

Meanwhile Conrad had a similar idea, he went running he just needed to get all that anger and emotion out and he certainly wasn't going to talk to Nic or anyone else for that matter. He just ran as fast as he could, his mind racing. As he ran he wasn't really paying attention and that was the mistake that was about to ruin his life. A group of teenagers speeding down the road and Conrad not paying attention caused chaos. The car hit him at top speed sending him flying into the air. Screams of shock and horror came from the teens as they pulled over. Conrad landed in a pool of blood, the teens ran to him, all gathered around him as the panic set in. One of them went to call 911, some were crying but the street was quiet so no one else was around to take charge of the situation.

On her walk Nic noticed a group of teenagers gathered around someone in the middle of the road. She immediately rushed over to help, seeing someone lying a pool of blood "I'm a nurse. I can help him but I'm going to need some help" she was calm, there was so much blood she didn't even realise it was Conrad until she got closer. Then she just froze. "O-oh my god..." was all she managed to say, tears filled her eyes and her hands started to shake. "Conrad...can you hear me?' It seemed all her medical knowledge had left her and was replaced by fear and panic. It felt as though her world was falling apart. Things were never going to be the same...
