I was sitting on the bench watching Matteo play hockey. I was wearing his hoodie because he realized I was cold. It took me ten minutes in the bathroom to be able to put it on. My shoulder was the one to blame. It is getting way worse to the point we're if I move it one inch a huge amount of unbearable pain would hit me. Also the swilling has increased but luckily my ribs were improving.

I was listening to music while watching Matteo play. He was really good. Honestly I don't understand how can he run on ice. I am pretty sure last time I tried , I fell face first to the ground.

I was lucky that I didn't have to ask him for his name. I heard one of his teammates yelled it out. " Hey. Come on the practice is over. We are leaving. " Matteo yelled out for me.

I stood up and walked to him. His friend stood next to him. I have to say he looks cute. He hade green eyes that seemed to have this spark to it, it reminded me of the forest. He also had light brown hair.

" you didn't tell me that you finally got yourself a pretty girl. " Matteo's friend said while his eyes scanned even inch of my body.

I subconsciously move closer to Matteo. " That is my sister. " Matteo said with anger in his voice.

The man's face turned in to a surprised one. "I..I am sorry man. I didn't know. " the man said with fear in his voice.

" come on let's go. " Matteo grabbed my uninjured arm and pulled me outside to the car.

I didn't mind him grabbing my arm. In someway it made me feel save. I don't know why but when ever someone is nice to me I feel like they are in my side and there to protect me but I am still cautious around them. I still keep in mind that they can betray me any second.

The ride back home was silent. I wanted to listen to music but I thought it would be rude. So I decided to collect all the confidence I have and open a conversation" how long have you been playing hockey?" I asked.

" 5 years. "

" that is cool. I wish I was able to master a spot like you did. " I said.

Matteo smiled widely and said" if you want you can talk to Alex or Xavier. I am sure they wouldn't mind. Do you have anything in mind?"

I thought about it. I remember when I was a kid I wanted to learn ballet, then I wanted gymnastics. Though, through all this phases I always wanted to learn how to fight. I never wanted to depend on someone. Therefore, I need to learn how to protect myself.

" I want to learn how to fight. I want to learn self defense. I don't want something like kick boxing. I want to learn how to protect myself. There shouldn't be rules in protecting yourself." I said. I was pretty sure that my eyes was sparkling from excitement.

" I.. I am not sure about that. You could ask them if you want. But the chances of them agreeing is low." He said.

...................

After the conversation I had with Matteo, we got out of the car and went in to the house. Matteo offered to show me around and I agreed.

When I was walking back to my room, I saw Marcos. He seemed angry about something. His fist and jaw was clenched. I didn't want to come close to him at the moment. I was scared. Scared that he would sap at me or something bad would happen.

I was in my room getting ready for bed. I just finished brushing my teeth. I put my hair in a bun and went to bed.

It wasn't long when I woke up feeling unbearable amount of pain erupting from my shoulder. It was so painful. I don't know what caused it I think I slept on a part that was close to my shoulder.

I stayed still on my bed trying to mummies the pain. But it wasn't working. I whispered to myself " Just go to sleep if you sleep you wouldn't feel pain."

I close my eyes and tried to sleep. But the pain I was feeling my something I couldn't ignore. " it will be fine everything will be okay. Just sleep. Sleep. " I tried to reassure myself.

The pain keep on evolving and growing. I couldn't take it the pain. I couldn't handle it. I would rather cut my arm off that feel this pain. I need help. I really need help.
