Chapter 1

Blood spurts everywhere as I find someone's hands holding steady pressure on my chest, it's Lori, she's obviously afraid, trying to hold back tears. "come on Nick stay with me, that's it, help's coming"she says, green eyes making contact with my brown ones, "it hurt's"I say trying to touch the pole that's in my chest, flustered hands pull my hands away from the pole afraid I'll push it in more I guess. I'm lying against cold metal bleachers as everyone is running out afraid of what's happening, but she never leaves me she stays right by my side. Soon enough paramedics come and move her out of the way as they ask her what happened, she explains as people start to work on me. "what's his name"one of them asks, "Nick"she responds, "OK, Nick buddy we're here to help you alright, but I need you to stay as still as possible alright, I don't want this pole moving anymore than it already has"a male medic, Jack I think he said his name was, says. "OK"I say as I feel someone gently put something underneath me as they turn me on my side, a stretcher.

Then in the midst of the chaos they manage to get me down and out of the arena, then into an ambulance. Once inside we take off as medics start to cut my clothes of being very careful around the pole and then something goes wrong. My heart rate starts to precariously drop, and voices ask me questions, "Nick are you still with us", "something's wrong"I say, "his heart rates dropping, he's going into shock"a medic says and then everything goes black.
