IT'S MY LIFE
IT'S NOW OR NEVER
PART 2
I couldn't move I felt her take hold of my head and her asking could I fell my legs, arms, and back and Danny asking what had happened he had been watching a over match.
"I'm fine I can fell everything just winded I just need to sit down" St. John Ambiance came and carried me off I remember hearing Gemma say she wanted to go with me and Danny saying no. Everyone started clapping for us both and Matt Jack's son high fived me has I went passed.
In the changing room I had to put Ice on my back and ribs Cath brought my tack suit in to me.
"You OK?"
"I'm fine I just got winded"
"There really going mad out there saying that you and Gemma shouldn't have had the match in the 1st place"
"Honest?"
"Yhea you are A LOT lighter then Gemma so you shouldn't have even been put in the same weight you should have been dropped down a weight not gone up"
Cath left the room I sat up I should have dropped down a weight so I could have hurt someone! That thought scarred me I could have hurt some one if they had dropped me down that weight. It could have very well been some one else sat here not me it.
I put my track suit back on and went outside Gemma and Cath came over to me and give me a hug.
"You all right"
"Yea I'm fine"
Danny came over next resting his hand on my shudder "Hey kid great match you How you feeling?"
I nodded and smiled we where all sat talking when Rob who owned the grass roots and was one of the heads in Manchester came over.
" Are you OK Louise"
"You know next person who asks me...." Danny started to laugh "I'm fine never better" Rob nodded his head "Good, Good, do you feel up to fighting again?"
Danny jumped up "WHAT? HOW ON GODS GREEN EARTH CAN YOU ASK HER THAT?"
"Danny...."
"ROB THE GIRL'S 14 YEARS OLD SHE'S HAD THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF HER AND YOU WANT HER TO GO AGAIN COME ON MAN WHATS THE GAME?" Danny's American accent came out strong when he lost him temper.
"I understand that we are willing to award her gold but she has to compete again"
"MAN...THIS IS GOING TO KILL HER...MAN THIS IS MAD WHAT...WHAT HAPPENS IF SHE DOSN'T GO AGAIN?"
"No medal she forfeits"
"THIS IS CRAZY"
"Danny" I said at last "I'll go again"
"WHAT!"
"Good. You are facing Leanne she's the same weight has you there is only the two of you he didn't notice before. Beat her you get gold lose you get sliver."
"NO YOU WON'T...SHE'S ONE OF OURS...DIDN'T NOTICE BEFORE MY..."
"Danny...I want this I want to go again it's on my head I wash your hands for you"
"You know your 14 going on 24"
My time came again walking to the middle of the mat I felt more confident the match started I got the first point I wrested my heart out till I went to the fireman's carry and got the pin.
I had won the gold. I was Lancaster champion . I was presented with my medal every one was pleased for me we left the arena where we had been and all got on the bus.
On the way home the pain got worse I put it down to having the second match.
The next day in school my head of year give me medal in fount of everyone they loved to make a big deal of me winning a medal.
A few weeks after the championship I was still in a great deal of pain.
Mum took me to the doctors.
"All your ribs are bruised in your back has well what on earth have you been going to do that?"
"Wrestling"
"I hope you mean play wrestling!"
I shook my head.
"YOU'VE BEEN WRESTLING?"
I nodded my head.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 14...15 in August"
"Your to young to be Wrestling"
"It's OK I've not been ring Wrestling it's mat wrestling"
The doctor sighed "Your to young to be doing any kind of wrestling" he repeated. "The blood test you had done show that the infection you had has weakened your bones. If your bones break it be a long time before you can do anything again if you ever do anything again. I mean you've been lucky, this time. What about the next time, or the time after that, or the time after that? It's going to be two more months before your ribs are better the best I can do is give you some cream and strong pain killers "
"What do you suggest?"
"There is only one thing for you to do give it up"
That night I went and told Danny he understood but was sorry to see me go
A few months later Mum got talking to someone who worked for Mencap. I put my name forward and started working for them.
I'm 20 now I've lost touch with all my friends who I was at Ince Bulldogs with. The last I heard of Danny he was working in London the rest was taking GCSE's and have now started college or working.
A few days ago I was watching a video of one of my matches when Danielle, the little girl who I look after, told me she wanted to become a wrestler I told her wait till she's 16! If any one asks me if they should take up wrestling I always tell them that they should talk to there doctor but I would wait till they was older. If any ones seen the advert on Raw, or Smackdown. Rock, Chyna, Y2J, and a number of WWF superstars tell you to leave the danger to them. I do that. My ribs are still very, very painful, all it take is for me to get a tiny tap and I'm on the floor in pain. They may never be right.
I'm not trying to put anyone off be coming a WWF,WCW,ECW or any kind of wresting star you should go with your dreams. Just, please god, don't make the same mistake has I did and start to soon. Wait till your at least 16 that's the best age to start.
So I guess the point of me putting this on here is not to put you off becoming a wrestler or to tell you what to do but to tell you what happened to me. Sometimes no matter how real wrestling is or how fake it is, real people get hurt has with Owen, has with Dorz, has with Davie Boy Smith has with my self, has with a number of other's. I wish now I had waited but wouldn't change a thing. I wish any one on here who's thinking of becoming a wrestler or is a wrestler the best of luck I've been their and it the best rush every. I'm into acting and singing now a days and I am always given the part of a female wrestler if there is one but if it hadn't been for the wrestling I wouldn't have been able to do that I would still be real shy it's made me the person I am today.
IT'S NOW OR NEVER
