Nobody Else Has to Know - Tapa dura

An afternoon of practice driving ends up with a young girl in a coma with the possibility of never being able to walk again, yet when Webber's grandfather explains that he wants to take the blame for the accident, Webber must make a decision that will effect the rest of his life.

afternoon stretched before 15-year-old Webber, free and clear like the empty country road where Grandpa let Webb practice driving. Webb wakes up in the hospital, his leg shattered and his future as a runner in doubt. He can't remember anything about that day, but he learns: Grandpa was driving. The car hit a little girl. She's in a coma, and she might never walk again.

Weeks later, Webber remembers: He was driving.

"You're fifteen," Grandpa says. "You have your whole life ahead of you. Let me take care of everything. I'm to blame. I'm the one to go to jail. Webber," he begs, "forget it." But how can Webber forget? He was driving.
