Chapter 3
It was about 7:00. Kevin had just waken up. Brian, Nick, Howie, A.J., Donna, and Johnny were all in Kevin's room right by his side.
"Hey," Kevin said, "How long have you all been here?"
"About 4 hours.Why?" Brian asked.
"I don't know. You guys must be really tired and bored from being here this long. Why don't you go back to the hotel for a little bit and get some sleep." Kevin pleaded.
"Yeah, you guys need your sleep," Donna agreed.
"No! I won't go! Kev, you're my cousin, that means you're family! I'm not going to leave you here by yourself in the hospital, just like you didn't for me!" Brian stated. "You guys go back to the hotel, I'll call you if anything happens."
"O.K. if that's what you think is best. I can't argue to some telling me to go to sleep!" Howie said.
The guys were saying their good-byes just as Dr. Laroose was coming in to examine Kevin.
The doctor said, "I'm sorry but everyone that is not blood related will have to leave."
"That's O.K. we were going anyway."
"Brian, Johnny and I will be in the cafeteria for about an hour, if you need us." Donna said.
A couple minutes later it was only Kevin, Brian, and the doctor in the room. Dr. Laroose did a reguar little check-up thing; he took some blood and ordered a cat scan and some x-rays.
When Dr. Laroose left Brian and Kevin started to chat.
Brian started off the conversation with, "So, how did it feel to actually get struck by lightning?"
Kevin, who obviously had not been paying much attention, sarcastically said, "Gosh Brian! What have you done to your hair??? It's sticking straight up. By the way, when was the last time you washed it, or even combed it?"
"Sorry to say it Kev but your hair ain't to flattering either!"
They continued to chat until a nurse came into the room to get Kevin to bring him to the x-ray room and to get his cat scan.
Right before Kevin went into the x-ray room, Brian said, "Hey, Kev, I'm going to go down to the cafeteria and get something to eat. I'll be back in a little bit."
"Got it cous!"
