A silent touch

I've never given any importance of ever falling in love with anybody. My parents always pushed me to be even better that I was. I've been playing hockey for 11 years. I had actually reached the highest that i could. I made Quebec games 4 years in a row. At that moment I was the youngest to  attend. The Canadian games 3 years in a row and i just got recruited to play in the Canada hockey team for Olympic games. Our dream was finally happening.

'' Faster... Faster Elizabeth.... Faster... Do you want to win? Than skate'' Dad was screaming at me... But he wasn't doing it to be mean... He was doing it for me.

Dad had made me an ice rink in the back yard. I had the try outs tomorrow at noon. I was stressed, i knew that their would be recruiters for other teams.  Just last week 3 different team tried to get me in there team but dad didn't want he said that our goal was to reach team Canada.

'' Elizabeth ... concentrate  you have to focus.. You have to be at your best tomorrow! '' dad told me by snapping his fingers in my face.

'' Girard, give her a break let her shower and warm up inside ''

Dad rolled his eyes and looked back at me.

'' after diner you better be ready were coming back '' i nodded, got rid of my skates and ranned inside.

Dad woke me up at 7 and made me run. Then we practiced my shots. Dad had actually gotten me on a diet since the recruiter called for the first time. That was 3 years ago. After finishing high school last year dad and i decided that i wouldn't get into college and that instead i would sacrifice my time to hockey like I always wanted. I was playing in the white Eskimos in the AAA in Ontario. Last year my score cheat was one of my best. Like dad predicted. 41 goals, 52 assistances in 38 games. I even made the papers. My room was filed of all my medals and trofes.   '' good luck sweety and don't forget to have fun'' mom always said that before every games that I would play. I looked at me dad to see if he had anything to add before I go change. But he said nothing. He looked at me and said go change. I got change and went straight to the ice rink. And everything went fast.

I jumped into the shower got dressed and went to joined my parents. Three man in a tux with there paper pad in there hands came to me. They all introduced them self and asked to talked to me in private. But I never made a decision without my dad before. Especially when it comes to hockey. But they really insisted on coming with them to talk. They wanted me to attend the Colorado feminine team with them. But i told them that i would think of it and that i would come back to them as fast i as i get answer. They shock my hand and said that i really impressed them at the practice.

It had already been six months since the practice. I've been a really busy women. Team Canada had accepted me in there team and tonight we were playing against the Russians in Montreal. The coach was really stressed because we had to get prepared for the Olympics coming up in 2014. In exactly 4 months i would be attending my first Olympics game. I got on the ice Angela came right beside me.'' Are you ready to win tonight? ''

'' Absolutely ready !''

'' How may goals tonight ?''

'' All try for two and then wall see ''

We both bursted out of laughed because it was a running gag between me and her.

We were on second period and in was a tie for us. I was in the right corner. I grabbed the puck and fainted the player in front of me. Someone came right in front of me trying to get the puck from me, but i fainted 360 to the left. It felt like everything was in slow motion. As i turned to my right two players we're coming right to my direction.

.....beeeeeeeeeppppppp......

People are running beside me and calling my name, but i couldn't answer. '' Elizabeth can you hear me ? ''

My eye are blinking. The first thing that I see when i turn my head to my left is my mom sleeping. And then i started feeling the pain. It was like my leg was on fire i lift the quilt and see my leg in a cast. I started panicking. What happened. Oww my head is killing me. Omg what is all that beeping. The next thing i see is two man running in my room and injecting something in a tube I start screaming and asking them to stop. Mom was beside me crying and asking me to calm down. There i went falling back to sleep..

I just woke up and I felt the pain come back. A women came to me.

'' Welcome back! I am Denise and I've been tacking care of you for the past week. Do you know were you are ? '' I looked at her and nodded sadly with my eyes filed with water. ' You're at the hospital ! '' I looked at her and started to panic

'' wwwhhhy ... Wwwwwhyyyyyy am here ... '' the doctor looked at me with sorry eyes. '' someone ran into you and you broke a ribe, your leg and you have a severe concoction '' I looked at her a little bit depraved.

'' When will I be able to get out of here.. '' the lady looked at me and said  that if everything would go alright I'd be out of here in a week.

I got out of the hospital yesterday. I'm stuck in a wheel char for three weeks and then I have to do physio. I was down stars in my char and I already couldn't take it. Stuck in that char would just kill me. So I told myself that I would go for a little walk. Because the faster I walk the faster I'll be able to play hockey again.

I was at my third attempt of getting up, but it was so frustrating, I had no strength in my legs and arms. I was so frustrated .

Started from there every time that mom and dad would leave for work i would punch my self everyday to get up and walk.

After two hard weeks of pushing myself to my limits, I was finally walking. Mom had bought me a cane and I would be walking around with it. It was 7 o'clock and I was in the kitchen facing the big window, looking at my back yard and my ice rick. I was checking my mail on my ipad , when I started to someone screaming of strength. I looked up and I saw my dad with an ice pick braking the ice. So I grabbed my cane and went as fast as I could to the window. I opened it and screamed to dad to stop it. But he never looked back at me.

'' Stop it dad.... Please stop it don't do that ! '' I was crying and shacking of madness. Mom came running down stairs. She grabbed me and took me in her arm. I was asking her why... Why was he doing this! When I had stopped crying mom looked at me.

'' sweety. You know that your dad and I love you a lot, but we had a call today. From the doctors. ''

It couldn't be true. It was impossible. That couldn't happen to me. I shock my head. '' no, no I refuse to believe it '' I stood up and went to my room. I shoved the door close and slid on the door and cried. Cried for hours. I stood up with so much rage. I through everything that was on my desk on the grown every meddle, every troffes, everything that had to do with hockey. I turned around to look at my room and I could even recognize it.

I through myself on my bed. What am I gonna do if I'm not playing hockey anymore.
