1.) The sound of a bone cracking is an awful sound. Hearing a scream soon after is worse. Hearing the words, "We need you to really step up now" is even harder to hear.
This is what i heard after the last scrimmage before my freshman year started. I thought I had no shot to play that year, and I was fine with that. After that day my thoughts were changed. I was the back-up to Bobby, and on the last play before I was supposed to go in the unthinkable happened. All I hear was a scream and when I looked at the field all I saw was Bobby crawling out of a pile with his leg hanging down. It was one of the most awful sights I had ever seen.
2.)"Andy, come in here I need to talk to you." My mom was never home from work so early. Her eyes were red from crying. I knew something terrible had happened.

I knew right away what was wrong. My grandfather had been battling cancer for a
while now. I knew at that time that he had died. My whole stomach dropped. I didn't
want to believe what I was hearing. My grandfather had died and I felt like my whole life
had changed. I never wanted to feel that way again.
3.)"Bang." I hit the floor with a thud. I touched my face with my hands and saw nothing. The next time i saw my hands they were soaked with blood.

I had never bled so much in my life. I had dove for the loose ball and had a knee struck
my face. I quickly checked for blood and saw none. The next time I looked down my hands
and arms were covered in blood. Blood was pouring out of my nose. I didn't know what to
do.
4.)"Wow she's cute. Good job Andy." That was the first time my family ever excepted a girl I brought home.
My parents always find a way to criticize the girl that I like. This time was different. After they met Nicole I expected to hear some kind of criticism, but I heard none. I was happy, but more surprised by this. I love my parents to death, but they are judgmental. I thought something was wrong, but I couldn't have been anymore mistaken. They genuinely enjoyed being around her. That made me more happy than I have ever been before.
5.) My mouth had a terrible taste. I had just gotten sick. When I looked down I was not in the bathroom.

I felt so embarrassed to walk into my cousin's room and tell her what happened. It
was the first time I had ever slept at my cousin's apartment in New York. I had eaten too
many cookies before I went to sleep, and my stomach was not happy. I woke up in the
middle of the night with an awful feeling in my stomach. I walked to where I thought the
bathroom was and threw up. When I looked down i was not standing over a toilet, but a
stove.
