Hey guys! I hope you are enjoying so far! Please remember to comment, vote, and follow!

I'm sliding down the mountain faster than I can imaine. I feel the wind in my face and I try to forget what has happened today. I'm night snowboarding with Carter and we have been up at Mt. Tilup for about 12 hours... just snowboarding. Carter decided that I needed to stay up here for more then one day. So he rented a cabin for 6 nights 7 days. I plan to stay up here until everything dies down. I am 20 so I have graduated school and I am attending the University of Colorado. This term I am training for the olympics so I don't get penilized for missing classes. When I reach the bottom of the mountain I stand there an wait for Carter. He is right behind me. Carter and I have both been training for the Olympics and they are only 5 months away. I know Charlie said they were a year away but she was so nervous she had a brain fart.

Carter and I get back on the lift and thy tell us we only have one run left until they close. So Carter and I decide one more ride is worth it. When we reach the top of the mountain Carter says he wants to talk to me. Of course I say after we are back at the cabin. Again I'm wizing down the mountain and all I can think about is Charolette. I want to know what Carter needs to tell me! So I am back down and in the car in no time. It takes him about 5 minutes to get to the car. He jumps in and starts driving. When we make it back to the cabin the first we do is unpack and then we eat dinner. After we sit down Carter is ready to tell me somthing.

"Aspen? I need to tell you and update on Charlie."

"Carter, what is going on? I've been really worried about her."

" We think that Charlie might not wake up from her coma."

It is all bad. I knew it I couldn't help but ask and clarify what Carter said.

"What?"

"Aspen, Charlie is most likely going to wake up. But not until after the olympics. The doctors say that she might have permenate damage to her brain."

I can't speak. Charlie is not going to compete for the one thing she has worked all her life for. A gold medal.

"Will she be able to skate again?"

"That is what we don't know Aspen. We just have to wait untill she wakes up to see."

"Okay"

I was too exaused to even eat. I couldn't think about anything but Charlie. I tried to create images in my mind of what she looked like right at this exact moment. But I stopped myself. It was too much pain to handle. Carter realized how tired I was and he took me upstairs to put me to sleep. I knew I would wake up the next morning and go to my escape.
