I start to regain my consciousness. I feel a huge throbbing pain on my right eye. I'm on the ground while everyone is huddled around me. Everything is blurry but I can still make out shapes and colours.
"He's waking up!"
"Nathan! Can you hear us?!"
"Nathan!"
I feel the ringing in my ears again. Coach Dave is on my right side, screaming my name. He tells my teammates to back up and give me space. I see Kimberley, she looks gorgeous. She's holding my left hand and gently rubbing it. Her hands are so sweet and soft.
"Nathan, are you alright? Do you know what's going on?" Kimberley asks me in her sweet angelic voice.
"Yeah, I think I can stand up now." I smile at her through my pain. Then I see Wade, I'm so mad at him now. He hands me a bag of ice for my black eye and guides me to the bleachers with Kimberley. I sit down while holding the bag of ice to my eye. Why would Wade do this? What's happening to our friendship? I think Wade and I need a break. The big game is on Saturday and we can't be fighting while playing. Kimberley and I are on the bleachers alone now. I stare into her deep blue eyes.
"Why did you get into a fight with Wade honey?" Kimberley asks.
"I don't know...he's been acting weird today..."
"Awh, its ok sweetie. Since you can't drive I'll call my mom to drive us to the hospital to get your eyes checked. Ok?"
"Ok, thank you so much. I love you." I push Kimberley's hair back behind her ear.
"I love you too." Kimberley kisses me gently on the cheek.

After Kimberley and I change into our regular clothes, Kimberley's mom shows up. She looks just like Kimberley, but older. "Hello Mrs. Wilde." I greeted.
"Hi sweetie. You poor thing, your eye must be killing you right now. What happened?" Asks Mrs. Wilde.
"Wade and I had a little fight,"
"You and Wade? How could that be? You guys never fight!"
"Yeah, I know,"
"It'll be ok, I called your mom to let her know we're going to be at the hospital,"
"Thanks Mrs. Wilde." I smile.
"No problem dear, anything for you."
Kimberley's mom is such a sweet lady. I'm glad that we get along, it makes dating Kimberley easier. Kimberley and I sit in the backseat of Mrs. Wilde's minivan. I lay my head on Kimberley's shoulder while she gently plays with my platinum blonde hair. I fall asleep to the smell of Kimberley's perfume. She smells like flowers.

"Thanks for the ride Mrs. Wilde."
"No problem, have a good night!"
"Goodnight Mrs. Wilde." I say goodnight to Kimberley and kiss her goodbye. Mrs. Wilde drives away as I head back to my house.
After telling my family what happened over dinner, I head to my room and text Kimberley.
