Bodychecked

"Coach, come on let me in the game," I said hoping, even though I knew he had witnessed what had happened today.

He looked me up and down as I rubbed a spot on my neck.

"Fine E, but don't go out there and do anything stupid" Coach Toldson responded a bit uneasy.

I grabbed my stick off the bench I was standing next to and hopped over the wall onto the ice. I looked up to the crowd in the stands, biggest one ever. It was the finals, we were playing cross-town rivals Slater Spartans, one of the toughest teams in the state besides our own. The puck dropped and I was so zoned out I didn't even realize. Someone skated right by me without me even paying attention to them.
"Butler" Coach shouted. That's when I snapped back into focus.

I took off covering them so they couldn't collect the pass from their teammate. As we went around the net, past Bryan playing goalie, I collected the puck bouncing off of my coverages stick and broke away down the ice.

I was pretty much all alone until in front of the net not exactly center but just off to the right. Just me and Slaters goalie, Finnik. As I went to take the shot, I felt everything stop. I huge pain went through both sides of my body. And a cracking noise echoed through my ears, like thousands of sticks being broken inside my head. I felt my body hit the cement ground like a dead weight, I tried to stand up but it was more like all of my limbs had just fallen off and refused to do anything.

"E" I heard a deep voice yell. Footsteps following right behind the loud shout.

"Eva-" I knew this voice. It was Sierras, and the last thing I heard before everything went into a darkness.
