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.

"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.
