I didn't have much time to write this so it may not be that good but it will get better! Please review.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the metal Payson won. "I got a metal?" Payson asked. "Yeah you tied for first!" I said. "Who did I tie with? It better not be Kelly!" Payson said a little angry. "No Pay you tied for first with me..." I said.

Payson was about to reply to Kaylie until her parents walked into the room. "Mom, Dad when can I go back to the rock?" I tied for first place with Kaylie." Payson said smiling. "Payson we have to tell you some-" Before her mom could finish her sentence Payson broke her off and said "What is it?" she asked scared.

"Honey you broke your back and they said if you every do gymnastics again you will be paralyzed for the rest of your life" her mom said with a tear falling down her cheek. Everyone went silent until Payson broke it when she began cry. Her dreams have just been crushed and someone stomped all over them. I knew Payson need someone other then her parents to be there for her and right now that was me.

For the past 10 years we have been best friends through thick and thin she was my rock when things went wrong and now I'm going to be her rock. "Pay do you want me to stay or go?" I asked "Kaylie please stay I need my best friend right now!" Payson said while sobbing.

I stayed with her through the rest of the day and night and never let go of her hand and soon we were both asleep. I woke up confused on where was I and why am I in a hospital? Then things started coming back… Nationals...Payson…Broken back… Oh my god that wasn't a dream!

I looked over and saw Payson sleeping and was holding my hand still. She soon woke up from my movement and looked around to see if I was still there. "Hey Pay. Do you still want me to stay with you?" I asked. Payson was quiet then finally spoke "Kaylie I really need a friend right now." I replied fast by saying "I know you d-"I was cut of by her saying "But you have to train for World's." I could see the tears in her eyes.

I felt bad that she was going through this. But right now I need to be here for my best friend because I know she would be here for me if this was happening to me."Payson I'm not leaving you alone for 5-8 hours! And maybe if you're done with gymnastics then maybe I am to." I said. "Kaylie you don't mean tha-"Payson said before I cut her off. "I do because 10 years ago was when we both said 2012 Olympics… together and I meant it!" I said with tears in my eyes. Payson had a smile on her face

"Thanks Kaylie" She tried to hug me but she couldn't and I could see the tears in her eyes. "It's okay Pay I'm here for you but If I'm going to stay I need to run home and get my stuff, But if you need me text me ASAP." I said handing her, her cell phone. I left the hospital and went home and packed my stuff into my duffel bag with everything I need from clothes to laptop.

After I had finished packing I had to head to the rock and tell them I was not coming back…..

I pulled into the parking lot of the rock and took a deep breath and got out of my car and headed for the door. Before I opened the door I began to think what everyone would say… Before I knew I was opening the door and walked inside and everyone inside stopped what they were doing and turned and looked at me…..
