Short story 
Author notes

1. I would like the reader to relize that you cant jump the gun on things you have to have patients. If Max waited his leg could have been healed.

2. I think the setting and the character weas a good fit for the situation of the story.

3. I got to the point where i couldnt think of anything else to write.

4.There are no edits that i would like to make before my teacher reads this.

     It was a clear Sunday morning when Max hot ready for his hockey game. When he got there he realized that one of his pads popped out of his pants. He didn't think it was a problem until the second period. He was on defense when a center came flying towards him. The center tripped and his legs went straight up in the air. It clipped Max in the lag and he starts gushing blood. All the medical people come rushing onto the ice. He had a big gash in his thigh. If the bad was in it probably would have stopped the blade.

   Later that day when he wakes up from the hospital a doctor came in his room with some news. The doctor told him that they had to take a piece of muscle out of his leg during the operation.

"What. Will I be able to walk"! Says max.

"Your going to be able to walk it just might take some time". Says the doctor

   With this in Max's head he wonders if he will be able to skate again never mind walking. The doctor tells Max that he should take it easy for a couple months. This upsets Max because the championship game is two weeks away.

"No I have to be ready to play in...." Max gets cut off by the doctor.

"Now Max you can't be active for at least two months".

   Max goes home that day and immedietly turns on the TV to NHL network. The least he can do is at least watch his favorite sport. With Max sitting on the couch all day he notices some blood on the bandage. He calls his mom over to check it out. She says it is fine it is just healing. Tom turns on his XBOX and puts in NHL 14. This is Max's favorite game to play. But he hears the phone go off.

"Hello" Max says.

"Hi it's your doctor. I was wondering how it has been going".

"I geuss it's going all right. I'm not in school at least". Max says.

   Two months later Max is set to go,and signs up for some high school hockey. What he doesn't know is that he is going to be a lot weaker than he was before. When the tryouts come he goes out onto the ice feeling good. But when they go to skate some suicides he is behind everyone. He feels his right leg fall behind him. He can't take it anymore so he skates off the ice slowly. Max has never came out of a game or practice before this.

    The year after his high school tryout his doctor calls him with some bad news. He says he will not be able to play sports maybe ever again. It turns out that the bone in his leg actually got nicked by the blade of the skate. If he puts pressure on his right leg the bone will split slowly. When Max finds out he drops in shock and refuses to sit around and do nothing all day.

    Max has to spend his high school years in a wheel chair and always have a teacher by his side. It is not excactilly what he thought would happen to him after all. The good news is he will be out of the wheel chair in about four to five years. Max still constantly watches hockey on TV since it is his favorite sport.
