Edward Cullen/has never had narcotics
The coaches and officials do random drug screenings so I haven't dabbled in recreational drugs since high school.
Morphine is nothing like the skunk weed Newton used to grow behind his mom's she-shed.
The second they set me up with an IV the doctor popped in and told the nurse to hit me with the good stuff before X-rays.
My entire body is numb, including my giant, Mickey Mouse, glove-sized hand.
My nose itches, but I have no control over my motor function, so I ask my mom to scratch it.
Morphine is my new favorite thing. The girl across the hall's smile comes in at a close second.
Dad and Coach are off in the corner, talking possible surgery and me being out for the rest of the season.
In a sea of drug-induced haze, I want to remind them that I'm don't play with the goal of going pro.
It was a surprise to me when I got offered the position, so I figured what the hell and signed my name on the dotted line.
