Author's Note – Thanks to futureautor13 for her fanfiction: Where there's a will, Theres a way. This story was so amazingly written and has inspired me to make a similar story to it. Not being a copycat. This story involves Chowder getting into a car accident with a drunk driver and ends up losing his ability to walk and has to be treated in rehab.

Chowder

It was a Friday night, Sometime around eleven o clock late at night. Me and Mung were on our way

home from a party, we were the only people on the road. We arrived at a stop light, a few seconds later, a police cruiser pulled up next to us at the stop light, me and Mung were making jokes about how we should be careful.

And all of a sudden, a speeding truck was driving down the road at a fast speed and rear ends us.

I tried to warn Mung before it was to late, but I was frozen in fear.

When that truck rear ended our car, the force from the impact was so bad that my head hit the dashboard and threw my back out. All I remembered was blood dripping out from my head and very sharp pain in my back, I couldn't even move, the pain was so bad, my vision started to fade away and then I passed out.

Mung

A couple seconds after the truck had rear ended us. I was confused what had happened, I looked around the car to see the damage until I saw Chowder bleeding non-stop from his head and he was moaning in pain. The police officer that was next to us turn his lights on to warn other drivers there was a accident here, he came up to my side of the window to ask if we were okay. I am okay! But my apprentice is in bad shape! I told the officer.

Chowder! Chowder! Wake up my boy! Chowder was not waking up. I though I had lost Chowder for good, I just prayed for him to be alive. His head wound was bleeding so bad, I put my hand on his arm to slow down the bleeding. I just hope that a car accident didn't take my dear apprentice's life.

Chowder

It was 30 minutes after the accident. I woke up confused but I still could not move. Everything I saw was blurry and everything I heard sounded faded away and echoed. I saw a bunch of flashing lights and hear sirens. I saw a firefighter with a chainsaw in his hand cutting into the side of the door, I also saw Mung at the side of the door, he was holding my hand.

Chowder! Thank god your awake! I though I lost ya!

Mung? What's happening?

Someone rear ended us. You hit your head on the dashboard of the car and passed out.

Mung! I can't move! I don't wanna die! I am scared!

You will make it out of this Chowder! Don't loose your strength!

Mung was asked to move away from the door and the firefighter tore the door right off of the car. He picked me up and took me to a waiting stretcher near a ambulance. I saw two of the paramedics, one of them was putting a flashlight right into my eyes and one was asking me questions that I don't even remember for a answer.

Can you move any part of your body?

No I can't! Help me I am in so much pain.

He's suffering from a ruptured back disc! We gotta get him to a ER!

The paramedic said if we don't get me to the ER in time that I can loose the ability to move my body for the rest of my life. I was so scared, I just hope that they get me to the hospital in time. After that, they put me into the ambulance and began driving. The paramedics inserted morphine into my system. He told that it would stop the pain and it will make me sleepy. After a couple seconds, the morphine was starting to take effect. My eyes felt so heavy, I started falling asleep. I just hope all of this will end.

I woke up moments later in a hospital room. My whole body was burning and I still could not move.

What?! You mean he can't move? He ruptured a back disc? That can't be!

I heard Mung and the doctor talking in the hallway. Mung ran into the room, his skin was pale as a ghost had scared him.

Mung

When I ran into the room. I felt like I was gonna pass out, I was sweating. I just hope that Chowder was gonna be okay. He had a bandage wrapped around his head and he was sweating.

Mung.... Whats gonna happen to me?!

I started to get a tear in my eye, I tried holding in from crying but I couldn't.

Ohhh Chowder! The doctor told me that you ruptured a disc in your spine and that you will never walk again! But he is sure that you will regain your strength to walk again. Hes gonna have to operate on your back to fix the damage that was done in the accident.

Mung... You are like a dad to me. No one never loved me this so much in my entire life after my parent's went missing. If it weren't for you, I would still be at the apprentice agency, all alone and hopeless. I swear. I will do whatever it takes to live through this!

Again. I started to tear up. I wanted to give him a hug, but I couldn't. One reason was because he couldn't move his body and the doctor asked me to leave. They were taking him away on the bed to the operating room.

Mr. Daal. In order for Chowder to regain his ability to move again, he will have to go through 6 months of rehab. But now. I am gonna have to perform surgery on his lower back, if we don't operate on his back for a certain time, he will loose his ability to move for the rest of his life. We will inform you on his condition.

I understood the doctor and left the hallway and met truffles in the hospital foyer. We drove home and I hope for the best of Chowder.

Well thats chapter 1 of this story. In this story, I used some places from futureautor13's story "Memories" Where Mung adopted Chowder from when he was at a very young age. I hope everyone enjoyed the first chapter! More to come soon!
