MAX LONG
grade. He would not let any one have change to take a shot and any one who got a
chance to take a shot he would normally block it. Almost no one could get past him, by
the time you recv the ball he would be right in front of you. His team could focus more on
offence since Max could take care of almost the whole defence part. He was the back
bone of the team.Max’s team has never lost a mach ever.
When Max was walking back after football practice was done. The sun was setting and the
sky was full of colour. When Max was crossing the road out of nowhere two cars were
coming at high speeds, Max was at the centre of the road when the cars were nearing
him. When he saw the cars he ran but he wasn’t fast enough. Bam!! One of the cars
crashed into him and Max fell. The driver didn’t care and continued driving leaving Max to
die.A few kids from Max’s school saw someone on the road and realised it was Max. “Max,
O My God” the tallest kid said. Theother kid called the ambulance. The kids tried to slow or
stop the bleeding and make him more comfortable . The ambulance came in 15 minutes.
They took Max in, told the kids that he would be fine and the drove of.
In the ambulance while they were heading to the hospital they stoped the bleeding and put
an oxygen mask on. The hospital took him strait to the surgery room, put him to sleep and
started the repairs. They called his parents while the surgery was being done. When heard
the news they were frighten to death, they didn’t wast a single moment getting to the car.
They took every short cut they knew to reach the hospital. When they reached the
hospital, they said to the receptionist with a worried voice, “Where is my son!” The
receptionist reply, “What is the name of your son?”
“Max Long. So, where is he?” they replied. The receptionist looked for a few seconds
“Here he is, Max Long. He just came out of surgery, he’s in room #303, seconded floor.”
When they reached the room, the doctor was checking on him. When the doctor saw
Max’s parents, he said “You two must be his parents.” “Yes!” they replied “How is he?”.
“He has a couple of broken bones, but right now he is completely safe” said the doctor
explaining the injuries of their son.
Few days later……..
Max got out of the hospital. When Max and his family reached home, their mail box was
overflowing with cards from Max’s friends. The ones from his football team either looked
like a football or there was a picture of a football. The other cards were from his school
friends. The ones from his friends came in all sorts of colours and sizes, one card was red.
It was from his class. Everybody had signed it. He stayed at home for a couple of days,
and after went back to school. When he entered the school, one of his football team mates
saw him. “Wait a minute! That is, Max. Hey guys, look! There’s Max!” All the guys came
rushing at him as if there was no tomorrow. Max caught up with is friends with what had
been going on at school. He also had to catch up with the classes he had missed and he
felt like it was even worse than the accident itself.
1month and a few days after.
Max went to the hospital to get his cast removed the ,doctor told him not to move at all.
The doctor was going to cut the cast open with a circular-saw. In Max’s mind, he thought it
was a pizza cutter but stronger. His father told him to stay still. Max’s father wondered if
Max thought that the doctor was using a bigger pizza cutter to cut the cast. The doctor
removed the casts and Max felt like things could get better until he released that the home
work he had to finish but all he really cared about was the he could play on his xbox 360.
On Monday he went back to school, this time without any major injuries. Time flew by. It
became the 8th period. It was PE. When Max was playing football, all his friends told him
to take it easy and not push himself too far. The opponents came charging with the football
towards Max. Max thought he could stop them in their tracks, but instead it reminded him
of the accident and he was frozen still in fear. The opponents went through and scored a
goal. Everybody was surprised that Max didn't even try to defend. Max said with a
frightened voice, mumbling to himself “I cant do it….I cant do this!”
Max went back home as if nothing happened. ”How was school today ?” Max’s father
asked “It was good” Max answered .”Care for a snack?” Max’s father asked. Max
answered, “No thanks .I good, I’m going to bed early today.”Max’s mom gave her husband
a scary look. When he saw her face ,he said “Well what now? What did I do wrong this
time ?” She replied as calm as she could which wasn’t were calm at all,”How did you not
notice that?” “That what ?” he replied cluelessly. “ That he didn’t want any thing to eat and
he’s sleeping early.” She said. ”Fine I’ll go and talk to him”, He replied
He quickly went up and check if he was awake. They had along talk and at the end of it,
his father told him something to encourage him to do better next time.
The next day he tried to do what his dad said while playing football. He focused only on
the ball and the player’s feet, when the opponents came rushing in, he rushed at them .
They didn’t expect this to happen . Max got the ball back and kicked it all the way to the
opponent’s D and his team mates near the D went charging and scored the goal.
Max felt so alive. He be came unstoppable, there was nothing that could drag him down .
