The Accident

On a Friday evening I was having football practice. Everyone was pumped up for the game tomorrow. We were going to play one of the most brutal teams in the league.

''You guys ready for the game tomorrow''! our coach screamed while we were in a huddle.

Everyone screamed ''Yeah''! I was ready for sure. I wanted to score a touchdown so bad.

The next morning I had to get up at 6 a.m. I wasn't happy about that. The game was on our home field. We did some warm ups , just to get ourselves going. Then it was time to play. My team was on defense so I wasn't on the field. On the third play they scored a 70 yard touchdown. Now it was our turn. I am a running back so I like to score touchdowns and get all of the glory. I could feel the adrenaline going as we walked onto the field. We all huddled up and called the play.
The quarterback hiked the ball and handed it to me. I felt so nervous as I ran the ball through the line. I had only gotten about 3 yards. We huddled up again to call the second play. The quarterback hiked the ball and threw a bullet to the receiver. He caught it and we had gotten a first down. Everyone cheered. Now it was my turn to get a first down and possibly get a touchdown. The quarterback hiked the ball and gave it to me. I plowed through the linemen and found a hole to go through. I was flying by defenders. Then I saw a defender out of the corner of my eye. then everything went black.

I woke up in the hostpital. There my mom told me to lay back down and go to sleep. I didn't want to.
''Whats going on''? I asked.
'' The doctor has told us that you have gotten a minor concusion''. I was so scared after she told me this.
'' What am I going to do now''? I thought to myself.

The next few practices I had to sit out. I hated it. Atleast I didn't have to do the sprints.

1 year later

'' I cant believe you have the courage to run the ball after what happend last year''. said Jacob( a
kid on my team).
''It feels great to step back onto this field. Lets go kick some butt''!
