Nick was still upset about what happened at school , He never understood why everyone thought foxes were bad, really only Judy, her parents and his teacher were the only ones who liked him .
Even some of the other teachers hated him such as the football coach who refused to allow him to be on the team
They arrived at the hospital and signed in, nick ran to Judy who was looking a lot better, she smiled at nick
"Hi nick how was school?" asked Judy
Nick was silent for a second "it was Just another normal day" which was true nick was always bullied for being a fox even in nursery
Judy nodded "was anyone umm u know mean to you today"
Nick sighed he couldn't lie not to Judy she was his best friend
"well yeah but it's ok, "I mean I'm just well use to it I guess ,but it did feel bad with you not there" he said
"that's the problem" said Judy "no one should be used to being bullied"
"so what did the doctors say?" asked nick trying to change the subject
Judy smiled "well they said I'll be in here for one more day, and I'll be on crushes for a few weeks , but they said I should be okay to walk after that"
Nick felt himself wanting to jump in the air with joy, "wow" he said "that's wonderful judy"
Judy frowned a bit "umm what happened to Gideon?" she asked looking a bit scared
"He got expelled" replied nick " not allowed back in school, but to me that's not enough for what he did to you"
"Thanks nick but it's ok I'm better now" said Judy "and I'll be out soon"
"Yeah" said nick "well I'm glad your better Judy" ,he looked at her eyes he never released how bright they were until now
Than nicks mum came into the room
"come on nick time to go" she said
"Yes mum bye Judy" nick said
"Bye nick" said judy and she gave him a hug
Then nick suddenly felt like he had tummy ache, but it wasn't the type of tummy ache he had when he had to much cake, he didn't know what it was but it made him feel strange.
So on the way home nick began to worry a bit why was he feeling this way, why when Judy hugged him did he get tummy ache he decided to ask his mum
"mum you know when I said goodbye to Judy"
"Yes dear" said his mum
"well when Judy hugged me I started to get tummy ache but not the type I normally get ,maybe I should see a doctor"
Nicks mum smiled at Nick, "Honey your not sick this is all part of you growing up"
Nick felt a bit confused did all children his age get tummy aches when they got a hug from their friend to be honest, he felt his tummy feel funny when he saw Judy for the first time, but why why was he feeling this way?
When they got home nick had his tea got into the bath and put his pyjamas on, he was allowed to stay up on weekends so he and his mum watched the news
"breaking news a fox has broken out of jail and is wrecking havoc on the streets" spoke a panda, "he goes by the name of Neil wilde"
Nick looked scared his eyes pooped in horror "no it's him, It's my dad he got out" he began to panic and he started to sob
Nicks mum held him tight "don't worry nick he won't come back here"
Nick looked at his mum "but he's stronger than use mum ,"what if he finds us,my dad was always good at finding us when we tried to hide from him"
"He won't find us darling i promise" but she didn't sound too sure
Nick nodded "uhh mum I know you try never to break a promise and I do believe you ,but do you mind if I sleep with you again tonight" he asked
"of course you can dear" she said and they both went to bed
Nick couldn't stop thinking of his dad but someone else was in his mind too Judy. Why couldn't he stop thinking of Judy, He knew she was his friend ,but by god this just wasn't normal was it?
That night when nick finally got to sleep he had another nightmare
He was walking down the road than he saw his dad nick tried to run away, but when he turned back the scouts were there along with some other children from school , he had nowhere to run his dad began coming closer to him , bearing the same smile he use to have when telling nick he was worthless
Nick gulped as his father got something out of his pocket a muzzle "no" nick cried "no please dad no", but Neil just kept smiling as the children held him down ,then he got something else out his pocket, it was a gun he put his hand on the trigger and sneered at nick "I always said I wanted you dead"
Nick woke up screaming "no dad no don't"
Nick's mum put her arms around him "shh shh it's ok just calm down dear"
Nick managed to stop crying enough to speak " my my dad he he killed me with a gun the scouts there too, put that muzzle on me again". And began sobbing again
Nick's mum didn't know what to do anymore poor nick was terrified and so was she but she had to be brave for nick
So 2 questions here
1 wil nicks dad find nick and his mum
2 is nick seeing Judy more than just a good friend
