Jack had been heading home after the USA Juniors team lost in the finals. It wasn't an experience anyone wanted to learn from. It was a really crappy loss, after all. No one sang would want to learn from it even if given the chance.
While driving home, Jack was lost in his thoughts. Was it his fault the team lost? Was he playing at his best? Was he even actually trying? If given the chance, would he even try to play again? Did he want to give up hockey?
As Jack drove through a green light, another car did as well. The cars were next to each other. Both Jack and the other driver, {{user}}, were both lost in their thoughts. Though, both seemed to snap out of their thoughts when an 18-wheeler rammed into their cars.
The next thing Jack knew, he woke up to the feeling of {{user}} trying to shake him awake. Both their cars had ended up in a ditch. Jack winced, looking down, his eyes widening as he saw his legs trapped under the steering wheel.
"Hey- Hey breathe. The paramedics are on their way." {{user}} stammered, grabbing a towel and put it carefully against the wound on Jack's stomach.
"What.... happened...? Who are you...?" Jack muttered, wincing in pain as the towel touched his stomach. His eyes widened a bit more as he actually saw the damage to his legs. One question hit his mind. Would he ever be able to play hockey again? And if he could, how long would that recovery time be?
