I hear the beginning of the music, I start to run, Shoot! Too far I thought I shrugged it off thinking I would change my backhandspring to make it undercutted. I felt off as I went to my back handspring feeling like I was in the wrong spot. I set for my layout planning to undercut it so I don’t hit the wall until I start setting and I felt something touch my foot. As It happened I felt myself bash into the wall with my knees and fall to the ground with a loud BOOM. I felt my body smash onto the ground and I felt weak, I felt dead, I couldn’t move. 

“Ughh” I groaned as I slowly got up hopping around my spot in the routine with one foot up. While I was doing the motion to get to my spot for standing tumbling, I wanted to stop, My foot felt like I just stabbed myself. I tried to do the back extension roll-back tuck with one foot, I thought about just doing the whole thing and landing on both feet but in mid-air I chose to land on one, I felt like I made a good choice after that knowing that my foot could have been fractured if I had done it. I finished the pass and hopped instead of rolling to my spot. We finished our marking for our stunt and I hopped to back handspring tucks knowing I would have to land on both feet, I started rolling feeling like crying in pain. By now my ankle was feeling like 100 billion knives were going into my ankle all at one time, Then I knew I hurt it, But I had to do this pass or I would have to do 3 after instead of getting water. I started to set for my pass as I was dreading the amount of pain I needed to prepare for. I started jumping back to my hands thinking about putting more weight on my good foot instead of my bad foot. I started landing the backhandspring and I put the weight on my bad foot. I almost screeched in pain, as I set for the back tuck. I landed the back tuck on both feet and It felt like actual death. I did the little dance right after it crying I hopped to jumps, knowing I needed to do it, I was standing there with my bad leg up and good leg down attempting to do a hurdler toe touch, I started to clap up and jump to do my hurdler, I felt my body land on my good leg which made me happier until the toe touch. It was connected so I needed to do both of them, but as I connected it my foot good foot got sore. I jumped for the last toe touch and I jumped onto both feet, and Mmy foot felt only a little less painful. I hopped off the mat and toward the bathroom. I noticed my foot was bleeding so I cleaned it off with a paper towel. I unlocked the bathroom door and started to hop over to my coaches, which felt like a mile away. 

“Tyler, I need an ice pack right now,” I said holding my ankle. 

“Ok, I'm going to grab you one right now,” Tyler said running off to the fridge. I hoped Maddie wasn’t watching us, I looked horrendous with my red puffy eyes and hurt ankle. 

“Here Hailey, Royalty go get some water! If you tapped out in your pass do 2 if you skipped your pass do 3!” Tyler Yelled to my team. I slowly put the freezing ice pack onto my ankle, It gave me a minor shock at first and I jumped up a little. But eventually got used to it, I watched them go full out and I felt glad I didn’t have to do it. 

“Tyler can I call my mom? My ankle is throbbing and I need to go to the ER.”

“No, I can call the ambulance and they can take you there, They should call your mom,” Aly said in a calming voice. I started to breathe lighter and got up to grab my phone. The  ambulance eventually arrives and I get onto the uncomfortable bed. 

“Ok, we called your mom she will meet you at the Hospital.” The paramedic said.

I nodded not wanting to talk. They started to drive and I felt like I was in a race car truck speeding through all the lights.

I started to feel tired so I fell asleep throbbing in pain. I slowly  woke up feeling so tired with my high pony still up, and I saw a big gray boot on my right foot,

“What happened to my foot? Is it sprained fractured?, how long am I out?, can I still  stunt?, am I going to be out forever?!” I questioned my mom who was driving me home,

“You sprained your ankle and it was nearly a fracture, you are out for 5 weeks, and yes  you can still stunt but it is dangerous,” Mom replied. 

, “Where is Maddie?” I asked

“She is at home,” Mom replied.

“Hailey, I need you to be more careful, If you had done one more thing you would have  fully fractured it, and would be out ALL SEASON.” I started to cry, I didn’t want myself to be hurt, I didn’t want to have an injury anymore.
