Chapter four: At the hospital
When the nurse came out of Joey's room, four worried teens ran over to her. "Is Joey gonna be okay?" They all asked in unison. The nurse smiled "He should be just fine, he lost a lot of blood and when he went into shock the doctors weren't sure he would make it, but now he's doing better." They all sighed in relief, Mai and Tea had been crying, and they quickly wiped their tears away. "Now" the nurse said more seriously "Do any of you know how he got those cracked ribs?" No one said anything. "He. he got mugged" Mai said kinda hesitantly. The nurse shrugged and assumed a gang must have jumped him and they didn't want the nurse to know. Suddenly the girl asked another question "Please, can you tell me what his injuries were?" Mai was dying to know how serious this was. "Well." said the nurse looking at her clipboard "He broke all his knuckles, and his wrist, and there were also those eight cracked ribs. plus he lost a large amount of blood, and had some painful looking bruises, that's about it." Mai sighed again in relief. "Thanks" "No problem, he should be out of the hospital in about a week, and I suggest you just go home, because they already told me he's not to see any visitors at all" "All week?" the kids moaned "Yes, now go home" secretly the nurse thought it was cute how they cared for their friend, but she hid it well and the kids all walked out the door together.
