Startled , I froze in terror at the frightful sight

My whole body shuddered as I watched Chase hold Nick unconscious body

What the hell just happened? Will Nick be alright?

Someone should please call the ambulance. I heard Chase yelled

oh my gawd! What should we do? Loretta asked worriedly

I brought out my phone , I dialled the emergency number but it was not connecting

Is he going to die? Loretta asked while panicking

I don’t know. I shrug

*

The hall became noisier when the ambulance arrived

Two Emergency medics rushed in rolling a stretcher

I sighed in relief

Will he be fine now? Loretta asked

I think so.......

*

The medics placed Nick gently on the stretcher and rolled him out

Make way! Make way! they kept on screaming until they got to the ambulance ..

I sighed

But what really happened to Nick’s voice? I turned to face Loretta but she was no where to be found

Where could she be?

I looked around the hall and was surprised when I saw her on the stage beside Chase ....

When did she get there? I wondered while walking towards them

Chase! I called while climbing up the stage

he looked at me and smiled lightly

Are you alright? I asked

Yes.he sniffed

Oh chase! I pulled him into a hug

It is going to be alright. I assured him and he held me tightly.....

Chase Delgado

I held Candy tightly while caressing her hair

Are you really alright? She repeated while disengaging from the hug

I sighed

No, I am really worried about Nick

I understand baby, he will be fine. but what really happened to his voice? She probed

I stared at her not knowing what to say

Chase! She called softly

Can we please not talk about it? I pleaded

She gave me a puzzled look before she nodded

I need to go to the hospital. I informed

Can I come with you?

No baby, you and your friend need to go home. I replied glancing at her friend

Oh! She exclaimed

Do you have enough money to take you home?

I erm erm have i mean I don’t. she stuttered

I smiled

I dip my hand into my pocket and brought out my wallet

here, you can have everything.

But Chase this is much? she bent her head shyly

I smirk

You can give some to your friend

She looked at me and smiled

Thanks

It is nothing. I grinned

I pecked her before walking out of the hall....

*

I dialled my dad’s number on my way to he hospital and he picked it up immediately

Dad! Nick slumped at the concert. I informed immediately

I know son , I am already at the hospital . he replied

how did you know? I asked in surprise

The news, it is all over in the new

Damn. I cursed

Where are you? he asked

I am on the way to the hospital

Good! I will be waiting for you. he sighed and ended the call

Oh Nick! Why did you have to push yourself too hard?

I widened my eyes in surprise as I counted the money Chase gave me

Did he give me this much money just to go home?

And how does it feel like to date a rich guy? Loretta suddenly asked

I looked at her in surprise

What do you mean?

Nothing, I am just asking .She retorted

What has come over you Loretta? I asked

And what do you mean by that? She retorted

You are behaving kind of weird, Did I offend you in anyway? I asked staring at her

She huffed

Is it a crime to ask a question?

No it isn’t , but I don’t like the question you asked

She sighed

I am sorry. She apologised

It is alright

here. I said while giving her some of the money

Thanks so much Candy . She beamed

I smiled........

*

We headed to the bus station together and I helped her flagged down a taxi

See you tomorrow. She bade as she hopped the taxi

I waved and the driver zoomed off

*

I waited for about twenty minutes before another taxi came into view

I flagged it down and got in

behind Diamond block! I called and the driver nodded before driving off

I sighed as my mind drifted off to the happenings of today

What went wrong? Why happened to Nick’s Voice? Why was his voice all croaky? The Nick I know had a remarkable voice just like my ...... I stopped when I recalled what Chase said about hearing Nick sing for the first time

What does he mean by that?

*

The driver stopped in front of my house, I paid him off after I alighted

I walked Into the house and met my parent in the sitting room

hi mom! hi dad! . I greeted

how are you? My dad asked

Fine. I smiled

The concert was a mess. I added

I know , it was shown in the news. he sighed

Are you alright dad? I asked while studying him, he looked tensed

Sit down Candy!he instructed

Is everything alright? I stared at my mom

She met my gaze and looked away

Just sit! my dad repeated

Fine! I sighed while sitting

Do you want me to lose my Job? he suddenly asked

What do you mean by that? I was confused

Just Answer me Candy? he half yelled

I shook my head negatively

Good! then can you please stay away from Kira’s man

Kira’s man? Who is Kira’s man? I asked in confusion

I am talking about Chase

I scoffed

Are you for real? Did Kira threaten you? Did she? I yelled

She did .....he tried to say something but I cut him off

Chase is mine, he belongs to me , he asked me to be his girlfriend so how the hell does he belong to Kira? I yelled

Calm down Candy! my dad held my hands

How can I dad? how can I Calm down? I cried

It is alright. my dad assured while pulling me into a hug

I never knew you love him this much..

I soon got to the hospital and I parked in front.

I alighted from the car and rushed Into the building

I sighted my dad and Nick’s manager seated in the waiting room .

I walked towards them

What is going on Dad? how is Nick? I asked rushingly

he sighed

he has an internal injury and needs to undergo a surgery. he explained

So what are the doctors waiting for? Let them go on with it. I retorted

he needs blood. my dad informed

I smirked

So? Let them get it from the blood bank

The blood bank is short of blood. he complained

Damn! I cursed

What if I donate mine? I volunteered

he smiled

My blood has been taking for screening, the doctor will soon call me in

I nodded

What of his mother? I asked while looking around

She is on her....he stopped when a nurse greeted

hi! how can I help you? my dad asked

The doctor needs you in his office. She informed and flashed me a smile before leaving

My dad stood up

Come with me Chase! he instructed

Alright dad! I agreed

I glared at Nick’s manager before walking in with dad.

I was so sure he was the one who pushed Nick into this .......

My dad pushed the door opened and we walked in

hi Chase! the doctor greeted and I nodded

Can I start with the donation Sam? my dad asked

The doctor smiled

Have you seat Neil and you too Chase. the doctor offered

So can I start? My dad repeated as we sat down

The doctor sighed

I don’t know how to say this but your blood was not a match

how is that possible?

I was surprised myself but you see Nick has a type o blood while you have a type AB blood. he explained

So what are you trying to say? my dad asked with a wavering voice

I am afraid to say this but Nick is not your biological son. the doctor blurted out

What the hell do you mean? My dad yelled ....
