it takes only a second...

there was this party last night that i didn't go to. i couldn't be bothered. i just got an email from a friend who went. one of our friends fell from the balcony of the second floor of the club the party was taking place at. noone knows how. one second he was up there, the next one he was on the floor, 3m below. he doesn't even drink, so that's not why he fell.

what we do know is that he's about to be operated but the doctors think he'll never walk again. i can't believe it. he's always the life of the party, and right now he's lying in a hospital bed waiting to be opened up, and i can't even go see him cos a) the doctors said there shouldn't be more than 2 people (my friends Tinkie and Hobbes are there right now - they went with him in the ambulance), and b) my plane leaves in 2 hrs. i won't be able to go see him before Sunday evening. i feel so terrible.
