Hey Skater Boy *On Hold*

Ch 1- Anna's Prologue

A/N: Hi to all my lovely readers :) First few chapter are pretty rough, but I hope you will come along for the ride of Hey Skater Boy....

Anna’s P.O.V.

It is another nice sunny day in my hometown of Savannah, Georgia, and once again I am without doubt stuck inside. My name is Anna Brown, I am sixteen years old, and at one point last summer I was still a young, naïve little girl.

The summer I turned fifteen, I was out on our old, worn-down skateboard with my best friend Emma Smith at my side. It was nothing unusually for the time; after all, I had just developed a new interest in skateboarding. That day Emma and I were just goofing off in my driveway taking turns riding my skateboard and my bike, and I suppose that is where everything started to go wrong.

The skateboard’s wheels were broken; I was aware of the risks, but I was still working on saving up for a new board. Another thing that seemed to not be in my favor that day was the fact I was not wearing a helmet. I did not have a helmet, as I was only learning the basics of skateboarding, so I didn’t think anything of it.

I was on the skateboard, riding up and down the driveway. The front wheels of my skateboard chose that moment to lock up and I went falling backwards hopeless to what was about to happen. I landed backwards hitting the pavement with my whole entire body; no immediate damage was done in my mind because there was no blood. So I shook it off joining in laughing with Emma and the people in the car that had just passed by.

It was not until two months later when school had started up again that I realized what I had really done to myself that day. I had been feeling under the weather in the morning so my mom had taken me out of school and decided to take me to the doctor’s office. After I had been diagnosed with a sinus infection, my mom decided to take me to Doctor Jon’s, the chiropractor, office since I had been complaining of my back hurting after the fall off the skateboard.  Turns out what really happened that day was I got a concussion, screwed up my back, and managed to turn my hip completely inward.

It has been almost a year since the “incident”, my old board has been thrown away, I am not allowed to buy a new board, or go anywhere near the skate park, and the most important rule is I am “Not allowed to go anywhere near those good for nothing skaters!” as my mom so kindly puts it. I am barely allowed to ride on bikes, scooters, or anything with wheels anymore. I should have already gotten my license, but because I haven’t done therapy for my hip injury I can no longer drive for long enough periods of time to take the test.

I suppose I need to start somewhere with my therapy, so after the begging and pleading done by my brother, James, I am allowed a half an hour therapy on my old Barbie scooter. Of course there are rules, there are always rules now a days, I have to stay in the driveway and cannot do tricks.

It is so sunny out, or at least it seems that way to me, I have been stuck inside for months on end. I watched from my window as the elderly couple, the Johnsons, down the street moved out to go to a nursing home about a month ago. They were so nice, always baking me cookies and asking me about school, I couldn’t bear to see who had moved into the house. I have been hearing skateboard wheels go down the street for about the last two weeks, but I am not allowed to look and see who it is. I suppose it must be my new neighbor, but I wasn’t allowed to go over and meet them when my parents went. I guess it wouldn’t make much of a difference considering I am never allowed outside. But I will not let anything bring down my spirits today, the rain has finally cleared up after a week of down pouring; the sun has come out; and I am finally allowed back on wheels.
