Chapter 6
I'm going to be putting this story on hold for a couple of weeks as I am contemplating whether I should finish this and make a sequel set in the future but for now I'm going to start writing a new story. Also, sorry about not uploading yesterday but Saturday caught up with me. However, it's mayday bank holiday (UK) so I have the day off. Enjoy the story.
Have you ever heard the phrase `What goes up, must come down. ` Well to summarise my first game in one sentence. I was injured. No, let me rephrase that. I was seriously injured. Now, you're probably wondering what I've done. That I may be over exaggerating a bit. No I had an excruciating, unbearable, torturous injury.
The ball came my way. One, two layup. I landed except my left knee wasn't were it was supposed to be. My knee was underneath me. I didn't scream. I didn't do anything except stay still, frozen in horror. My teammates had already turned away when I had landed. After about thirty seconds I came out of my stupor. By then my teammates had come over. I kept reassuring them that I was fine however, some things can't be assured by the simple words, I'm fine. Transported to A&E I had immediate surgery but not before being put to sleep on anaesthetic.
I woke up from my enforced nap during the middle of the night. Leaving me where I was now. I noticed that Nick and Judy were here and I'm guessing by the amount of food, drinks and waste pilling out the over piled bin that the others had been here too.
I nudged Judy with my arm to see if she would stir. She woke up in a matter of moments. Nick `quickly` waked up after receiving a `gentle` punch in the arm off Judy. "How are you feeling, avoid the obvious." Nick asked me. I responded "I feel like my whole life has been turned on its head. One minute I receive my own apartment and make the school basketball team the next minute I'm probably going to be on crutches for the next 8 months."
"I know this may be a bad time to let you know but Tom's father has been arrested for neglect and child abuse." Judy told me. I smiled, happy that Tom's problem are finally ending. "Do you guys have my diagnosis? I would like to know how long it will take for me to heal." "Oh it's right here." says Nick pulling out an A4 document from his file.
Diagnosis Josh Hill (Fox)
Torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament)
Torn MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament)
Torn PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament)
Torn Lateral Meniscus
Dislocated Patella/Femur/Tibia
Expected recovery time
12 Months
To say that I was distraught was the understatement of the century. I had only been here for 4 days. 4 days! I wrecked my new body. It will be okay I can get through this, just take deep breaths and relax. "Josh, you okay." Asked Judy with sincere concern. I replied "Still absorbing the information." "You can be discharged in the morning." With that I fell asleep.
Sorry for the short chapter but this was always going to be brief anyways. Now you have a choice for a new story. A) AU story where Nick has an older brother or B) move onto a different Disney movie. Also shout outs go to tripplecloud and DerpyNerd280.
