Twice
October 7, 2014 was the day that changed my life forever and my knee will never be the same. It was a nice warm day on October 7, 2014. The blue sky had some clouds but the sun was still visible .

I couldn't cry, I couldn't scream, I sat there shocked only laughing at myself for no reason. My friends came to me, “Get up. Are you okay?” “I can’t” I said. “It hurts, my knee hurts.” One of my friends acted as a crutch and helped me up to a table. The nurse came and wheeled me to her office. My mom rushed to my school from work to pick me up. All I did when I saw her was

As soon as I ran into my room, I could sense that something was out of place. I thought it was my homework or that I did not feed my pet fish Arnold, but whenever I thought of my pet fish I thought of my pet dog Rocky.
