Chapter 28

Feeling my eyes rolling as my kids lift, waking up in a bright room I groan reaching my hand up. Something hurts on my face I think as my fingers reach to touch the painful area, gasping from the pain I sit up gently poking my face "what the—"

"You're awake," I hear coach's voice moving towards me "What happened?" I groan rubbing my head

"Took a ball to the face" he answers vaguely, "the nurse went to get your meds... I didn't know if I should call your folks or..."

"No please don't call them I'm fine" I quickly shake my head, "did the game end?"

"Yeah" coach looks at his watch, "you were out for a couple of hours" I nod, "and don't worry—" "Oh great you're up" a nurse walks in interrupting him, "hi Shane how are you feeling?"

"My face hurts" I answer as she stops in front of me, "and I think I fell pretty hard on my shoulder because it feels stiff."
