I felt very nervous on the way to the hospital. I did not know if I would ever dance again. My mom tried to stay calm, but I knew she was worried about me. When we got there I was brought a wheelchair by my sister and my mom rolled me in. Once the peachy lady at the desk looked at me and my ankle, her eyes got really big and I knew I had done something really harmful to myself. I just concluded seventh grade and it was the night after school ended. On that hot summer night Ashley and I went over to Evie’s house for a sleepover.
