Holy shit, it was pretty bad. “He musta caught the corner of his counter when he went down.” He said to a nurse, who nodded along with him. He got to Ryan and showed him the x-ray. “That’s your head. Right now. You’re gunna haveta get surgery, Ry.”

He would’ve nodded, but the movement of his head would be painful. “Just do me a favor, Ray.” He looked Ray in the eye, trying to hide the fear in his voice. “Stay with me the whole time.” He knew he would feel a lot better if he knew someone else was looking out for him while he was under.
