One reason only, I

I'm sorry I couldn't write you all this time. I have been busy. It hasn't been easy moving to a new country. I wish you were here. Dad's been up and about trying to secure deals with his business associates, leaving me alone with Jenny, Billy and Nurse Annie. You know, Billy's not been himself too lately. I guess dogs usually feel the same way as the owner in the times spent together. I hope you get your Visa processed soon. I'm gradually beginning to loose my shit here. All the more reason why you should come. Anyway, until I write you again. Xoxo".* I finished typing the not-so-satisfying message, and perused through every word. I should've written more, but who was I kidding. I have spent many years with Sam, she has always been understanding. Lying to her now wouldn't do us both any good. The sheer thought of my ongoing predicament was enough to make me loose my sanity. I couldn't speak of my troubles with little Jenny. How could I? She wouldn't understand a word, would she? I only have Nurse Annie and good ol' Billy with me. If only Dad wasn't so busy with his work, maybe we would be able to spend quality time together. *"It's dusk already",* I said. I hadn't gotten no more than a couple of feet away from the door when i felt a sharp pain on the left side of my head. It was like I was pounded with a hammer. Nurse Annie had already gone out to refill her First-Aid box at the hospital. It was just me, Billy and Jenny alone in my Dad's gigantic house. *(Or, so I thought).* At this point, the pain only got worse. In an attempt, to struggle down the stairway I stumbled over hitting my head on the tiled floor. Nurse Annie walked in with Billy moments later. She had left Jenny asleep in the sitting room. She must've decided to step out for a bit whilst taking the rest of her things from the hospital. Since Mom left a couple of weeks ago and before the sudden change of environment, she had stayed and cared for little Jenny like she were her own. I mostly make life difficult for her, regardless she always seemed to understand what I wanted more than I could fathom. I never believed in a guardian angel, but observing her made me question whatever belief I once had. *"I hope I didn't stay out too long".* *"Nick hasn't left his room for a while, I should probably go check on him",* said Nurse Annie. She immediately noticed a body laying on the floor with Billy whining frantically. She rushed towards the direction of the person, confused. It was beyond understanding how everything played out so fast, from leaving the house in the space of a quick hour to being greeted with an horrendous sight from a terror movie. She was distraught but, she wasn't about to let her emotions get the better of her. However, if she was to summon courage to perform her medical duties there wasn't a better time to react than that moment. ***...to be continued.*** Greetings! Hi, everyone. Happy Easter Monday. I hope you all enjoyed your day? Please don't ask me cos'mine didn't go as planned. ****Sighs**** Anyway, I wanted to shake things up a bit by doing this. Yes, that! It wasn't like anything I planned to do before time. It just sort of flowed out. Lol. I hope you guys like it. Tell me what you think in the comment section. Thank you for sticking with me. Until we read again... ✌️💐

This is a lovely article Vince, I'd really love to know what later happened and how nurse Annie was able to perform her medical duty.. but a quick one; Nick was the one laying on the floor right? Or was it the other guy with the sharp pain in the head?
Oh my days. I'm really truly sorry for not seeing this, Elle. I totally forgot I had a work yet to complete. To answer your question. Yes. Nick was the one on the floor. And No, there wasn't another guy. Billy is the pet name for his dog. Not a person. I thought I stated it in the beginning. Anyway, Nick's medical situation will be revealed in the next part. (Which will be published real soon). Apologies. 😅
