I'm in so much pain. I feel like I have been hit by a truck. With all the strength I have in me, I open my eyes but instantly close them due to the blinding lights. Where am I? We don't have such strong white lights like these in our bedroom. I try to move my neck, but it seems like something is hindering my movement. I bring my aching hand to my neck, trying to figure out what's wrong. My hand touches a hard plastic thing, causing me to frown. Is it a neck brace? Why the hell am I wearing

it?

I try to open my eyes again, but this time, I do it slowly, not wanting to be blinded again. I can hear the beeping of a strange machine that I'm certain we don't have at home. I look around me after my eyes get adjusted to the bright lights and my frown deepens. Surely, this is not our bedroom. Our bedroom isn't this white. It's a mixture of beige, gold and pastel green. It's green to me, but Rosie told me that it's called pastel green.

Rosie.

Where is she?

"Welcome back, champ. How are you feeling?" I look at the man who is talking to me. He must be a doctor, because it's clear that I'm in a hospital.

"Like a train has run over my body," I rasp, looking at him. I want to know what happened to me. "What happened? Was I in an accident?"

"No, you got injured during one of your games," he tells me, and instantly, memories of the charity game flood my mind. The game was going at a normal pace, but then something happened between the two teams during half-time which made the game more aggressive. What happened that made the game that aggressive? Oh, I remember. Zack, our teammate, is dating the ex of a player from the other team and that player made a bad comment. They almost had a fight on our way to the locker rooms, but the captain of our team had to hold Zack back since we didn't want to start a fight at a charity game.

"Can I please see him? I swear I'm not going to exhaust him." I hear my wife's voice. I try to find where she is and due to my

position on the bed. I manage to catch of glimpse of her through the half-open door and the moment her eyes meet mine she lets out a small smile.
