Chapter 10

�3 weeks later�

�Do you have a 7?�  Nick asked AJ.

�Go Fish�  AJ replied.  �Do you have a queen?�

It had been 3 weeks since Nick finally admitted what had caused this.  Since then, he ad AJ had been discussing almost non-stop on how they could change things for Nick.  AJ had even discussed it with the guys some.

�Uh huh!, I won!�  Nick shouted, jumping up to do his little victory dance.  AJ just smiled at him. Usually he�d get mad if he lost, but it was so great to see and hear Nick happy again.  He had purposely lost $2000 to Nick in poker last week, just to see and here Nick laugh, even if it was at him.

�SO Nicky boy.  You have a birthday coming up huh?�  AJ grinned slightly, � Yes I do, the big 22�  Nick said, pausing for a moment before snickering at his own rime.

�So, what do ya want for your b-day?�  AJ said, still grinning like a dog.
Nick�s smile faded as he thought about it. � I want my family and the other guys to come visit me.�  He said.

AJ�s smile faded too. No one had come to see nick since Nick was admitted to here.  Except AJ, and he was always turned down. 

�Ok, I'll see if they could come.�  AJ told him. AJ got up to make the phone calls, praying that at least his family would come.
