This is something that i came up with quite recently so please read and review and tell me what you think. the story in set in the county i live in as i know it so well.

Driving

This was a happy business as he cruised happily up the A167 heading to Chester Le Street. It wouldn't belong before he met an old friend at Newcastle Airport called Pavel Zalpov, a tough looking but exceptionally friendly man from the Czech Republic.

He sighed deeply taking one hand off the wheel to do so but as he did the unthinkable happened as the tyres came into contact with black ice turning a perfectly happy thought into a highly dangerous situation. Without warning the car violently skidded and merely seconds later collided with the fence causing it to flip effortlessly into the air despite Tintin's attempts to stop the car. The car flipped a further four times before finally coming to rest upside down against a tree.

Everthing fell silent, deadly silent as the motorists stopped to see the caged reck lying in front of their very eyes but it wasn't to long before someone rushed down. The young girl gingerly approached the car and recieved the shock of her life when she saw the state of the man within but bravely reached in to placed her finger to his neck feeling for life and thankfully found what she was looking for, a pulse, it wasn't exceptionally strong but it was enough for her.

2 hours later

The Captain paced angrily up the coridoor leading to the operating rooms. Deathly thoughts were running through his head as he continiously wondered about the state of his friend.

"Captain can you please stop doing that your making me nervous!" Calculus snapped

"Im sorry Calculus I just ...just..I can't take this anymore! I just wish that someone would tell us what is going on" The Captain replied almost crying. "What if he dies?"

"Captain don't go there!" Calculus said loundly, standing up so he was face to face with the Captain. "This is Tintin we're talking about! He's a fighter"

A nurse came through the surgery doors and looked straight at the Captain, this was what he had been waiting for and the nurses face didn't look to optimistic.

"He's alive, we've managed to stabalize him but he's lost a lot a blood and there is still a lot of unanswered questions and he has some servere injuries Mr Haddock"

"What kind of injuries?" The Captain asked hoping that they weren't life threathening.

"A broken arm, a broken leg, a fractured collarbone, a fractured skull, six broken ribs and one of those punctured a lung. We are also also waiting for the X-Ray and the scan results"

"Woah! Scan results?"

"With all due respect it's possible that he has fractured his spine and we have to be sure because if his spine is broken it could affect him in the long term as he'll lose the ability to walk"

"oh my... H...Hows he doing now?" Calculus asked putting his hands to his mouth in an attempt to prevent the reaction from escaping him.

"As I said he's stable and in a medically enduced coma to help his internal injuries heal"

"Can we see him?" The Captain pleaded upon the verge of crying.

"Of course, he's in room 2.17 thats through these doors and to the left, the third door on the right"

T/T

The Captain and co precariously moved towards Tintin and saw the horror that laid before his very eyes. Tintin's skin was an unhealthy pale colour and there were wires attached to different area's on his body so his vitals were under continous check and there was also a ventillator in his throat to aid with his breathing.

"Oh my god Tintin" the Captain exclaimed grasping Tintin's uninjuried hand. "Can I have a moment alone? Please?"

Calculus nodded and swiflty exited the room leaving the Captain to have a moments peace with his closest friend. The Captain sat down silently beside Tintin's bedside and gripped Tintin's hand as tightly as he dared given his current condition.

"Don't you dare die on us now, You hear me. We need you so much, so much. Stay with me" The Captain cried tears dripping down his cheeks and rolling onto Tintin's lifeless hand."Don't Leave us" the Captain said gently kissing the top of Tintin's forehead.

The nurse came back into the room but the Captain sensed it was bad news before he stood up to meet her even grimmer eyes.

"It's bad news isn't it?" he sobbed

" He's fratured his spine. It's very bad. The Break means he'll never be able to walk again. I'm sorry Mr Haddock, I just wish I had better news than what i'm giving you"

The Captain looked back towards Tintin, just wishing that he was stuck in a nightmare were everything was impossible, but unfortunately he wasn't and now he was hearing that Tintin would never be able to walk again and it scared him so badly. Tintin was only 22. How was he going to be able to deal with this when he came round. If he came round.

Haddock pushed the grim pesimistic thoughts to the back of his mind and allowed Calculus to join him and upon looking at Tintin he realised just how serious his condition was. They all took their places in the room and began their long vigil

please read and review cause this is just a idea i had this morning
