Chapter 4
"Welcome to heaven" came a voice from afar, Nick stood up and looked around, he couldn't see where the voice was coming from.
"Dad come with me" the voice bellowed, Nick looked around, all he could see was clouds …
"Nick, wake up"
"Zoe" shouted Nick sitting bolt upright grabbing Zoe "you were dreaming" informed Zoe in a concerned tone of voice.
Nick shook his head and stared at her taking a few deep breaths "im going mad" he muttered.
Zoe shook her head and gave him his medication.
"I need to go out for a while" she said kissing his cheek "you try and relax"
Nick smiled, he wanted to go with her, it was then he had his great idea.
He waited until Zoe left then headed over to the phone and called a taxi.
He was in town 40 minutes later, today he felt good, paying the driver and limping out of the cab he looked at the packed street full of shops before him and grinned.
He didn't know what he was doing, his mind kept going blank
He headed towards Greggs and took in the sweet smell of cakes that oozed from the shop doorway inviting people in.
Wandering in he smiled at the old lady behind the counter "id like an American pie please"
The old lady gave him a funny look "we don't do American pies hunny" she muttered clearly seeing he was not well, the stitches in the side of his head were a big give away "what happened to you?" she asked politely.
Nick smiled at her "wouldn't you like to no" he slurred picking up a packet of sandwiches and placing them on the counter.
"Are you sure you don't do American pies" he said smiling.
"Im sorry sir we do steak and kidney, chicken…"
"Just give me anything hot with a hole" cried Nick impatiently.
The old woman backed away, Nick slammed a tenner down on the counter and took his sandwiches, leaving the change with the old lady, he walked a short distance down the road and saw the RSPSA charity shop, smiling to himself he walked in.
After admiring some very highly priced brass figures he walked up to the counter.
"Got any sexy animals for me?" he asked flashing the woman a wink and cheeky smile.
"We don't sell animal's sir this is a charity shop" was the delayed response.
He nodded his head and walked away back into the street.
'Superdrug' was just next door.
"Il have some of that" he muttered barging in past security, pushing his way to the front of the queue he began demanding some 'super drugs' from the cashier.
"Im sorry sir we don't sell drugs" yelled the women "not the ones your after anyway" she continued urging security to escort him from the shop.
He started walking out of town and came to a retail park containing lots of new targets surely he could fulfil his needs here?
'Wickes DIY store' was the first store he came to, he limped in and looked around.
"This is all mine" he muttered, Zoe had always said he looks like 'David Wicks' maybe he could pass himself off as the man himself to an unsuspecting member of staff.
"Excuse me" he whispered to a young boy with a Wicks shirt on.
The boy smiled "how can I help you?" he asked.
Nick leaned on a near by work surface and answered "good job my boy"
The young lad gave him a strange look and walked on.
Nick continued walking around the shop believing that all this was his, any member of staff he walked past he gave a friendly wink and a polite "well done sir"
He walked out and saw an ASDA store in front him, upon limping over he saw that there was an empty wheelchair in the door way "how the fuck can there be an empty wheelchair" he muttered approaching it and sitting down.
Messing about and spinning round in the chair for a few moments he started wheeling himself towards McDonalds.
He wheeled himself to the drive through and parked up ignoring the looks he was receiving from the passing public.
"Quarter pounder with cheese meal please" smiled Nick.
"Um this is a drive through sir" replied the man on the drive till.
"Iv got wheels and im driving through" yelled Nick annoyed.
"Nick" came Charlie's voice rushing over "Zoe's going out of her mind with worry!" he continued wheeling him over to his car "lets get you home, have you had a nice day?"
"Oh yes its been a very nice day" smiled Nick….
