planned to go to university to study maths.

was 17 and spent six months in hospital.

was cycling home from party. It was dark
when he left the party, and he didn't have any
bike lights. However, there wasn't much traffic,
decided to cycle anyway. As he was
cycling through the centre of town, he was hit
by a car. The driver, Katy, was going too fast,
so she didn't see Francis until it was too late.

Luckily, Katy stopped and took him to hospital.
Francis was very badly injured, and the doctor
said that he could have died, if the driver
hadn't helped him. Katy felt very guilty, so she
visited him frequently while he was in hospital.

friends, and when Francis finally left hospital,
Katy put him in touch with friend in a band.
Francis had missed all his exams while he was
in hospital, so he decided to go for an audition.

their singer.
