Chapter 1- The incident

Here we are in high school. It was neither big nor small, it had an old design but it had a great atmosphere around it. Some kids were lively, some were gloomy and others were just lonely. It wasn't like that for Zac though because he was known as the class clown and he doesn't even try to be funny. He had dark brown hair, which was thick and lustrous. He had dark brown eyes. He's slim, muscular, with an almost perfectly symmetrical face. He has an African heritage that shows in his features and body type. And he loves basketball.

Today he just finished up practising with his teammates and he was heading to the basketball court close to his house. While he was walking he saw a kid drop his ball on the floor but the wind blow it, so it started rolling on the street. The kid was still young around the age of 6 or 7 years old. His mum was on the phone talking so she didn't realise her son was not next to her so she kept on walking. While her son went to get his ball. So know we have a serious situation on our hands. The kid is on the road where cars could come at any minute to run over this kid. Know we have a dilemma. Should Zac save this kid or should he just let him be because a car may not come, by the time he gets the ball? "But the risk is high so let me get him off the street," thought Zac. So he ran across the street and he suddenly spotted a car coming in at high speed so Zac thought "FUCK!! FOR FUCK SACKS, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO COME AT A TIME LIKE THIS!" So Zac started running like a man on a mission. He went all out and pushed the kid off the street but he himself now faced to face with reality. He was going to lose big time for saving this kid that he doesn't know. Before reality hit, he was thinking maybe I should have let the kid take the hit. I mean he is kind of small so he could just stay low on the ground and hope the wheels don't get him. But it's too late now.

Two weeks after the accident. Zac wakes up from a coma. There he saw his mum laying by his bedside and it looked like she had two black eyes. You could tell by a glance that this woman was exhausted. She passed out after barely sleeping for the past two weeks while taking care of her only son by herself. She received the bad news from the hospital while she was at work and tears started rolling down her chick while she went running to her boss and told him what happen and told him she needs time off work for a while to tend to her son. He said, "Kerry what are you waiting for go and take care of your son!" Then she went running to the car and took off like she was possessed and she went way over the speed limit, I mean she didn't even give a shit. When she made it to the hospital she went to the reception and frantically started asking which room and floor her son is on and took off again. When she saw her son hooked up to all the machines and the doctors in his room. She asked "what is going on? What happened to my son?" The doctor told her he got hit by a car while trying to save a kid. She was so sad and depressed. Then she asked him "how is he doing? And will he be able to recover?" The doctor said with a pity look in his eyes "he has head trauma and internal bleeding that we need to take care of. I am sorry to say his chance of recovery is very low. He may not even make it now so, please pray for him and be there for him he really needs you. We have stabilised his condition for now. If anything happens let us know?" She started crying and breathing rapidly. Her son is in a coma right now and he may pass away at any moment she couldn't have ever thought she would be in this position.

So for the past 2 weeks, the hospital was her home. She brought a change of clothes for him and everything he needed. All she cared about was his well being. She prayed day and night for his recovery. She was scared he could be gone at any moment so she forced herself I stay up. She wanted to be there for her son.

Zac woke up and looked around the room he saw his mum on his lap and he fixed her messy hair. She was still fast asleep. Then he felt light headed and passed out.

¶Ding! The Host has received the try-hard system! Damn man, he passed out before I said that cool line. Fuck! I have to say that again that's so lame damn it!¶
