Chapter 10
"Why, why are things like this?? A.J.'s going to die, I can just feel it! It's my bad fortune; I get struck by lighning, and then my friend dies. It's all my fault!" Kevin said in despair.
"Now I'm going to tell you the same thing I told A.J. when you first came in here; A.J.'s a tough guy, he'll pull through, he always does," Howie said, trying to reassure Kevin.
"Just leave me alone! Go, leave me!" Kevin yelled. "
Nick and I are going to try to go find Brian again, I'll se you in awhile. By," Howie said as calmly as he could. Then he walked out of the room and met Nick who was standing over by the pop machine.
"Hey, Nick. You want to go and try to find Brian again?"
"Sure, just let me buy a Coke," he said and pushed the Coke button.
They then went and searched all around the E.R., first three floors, and in the cafeteria and asked everyone if they had seen Brian. No one had, so they decided to go see how A.J. was doing.
When they got to the room he had been to before, he wan't there. They went and asked the person at the counter where he went.
She said, "The person that was in that room was moved to room 223, with your other friend."
"O.K. Thanks!" Nick said as both Howie and Nick took off down the hall. When they got there Kevin was sleeping and A.J. was half awake and staring at the T.V.
"Hey guys. What's up ?" A.J. said, in a very quiet voice because it hurt him to talk.
"Your awake!" Nick siad in amazement.
"Barely!" A.J. whispered.
"What actually happend to you?" Howie asked.d.
