A Broken Leg


____________________________________________________________
Pew! Pew! Joey was playing on his Xbox when, “I hate you TV! I lost because of you!”  He was talking to the TV when Joey heard a THUMP! from upstairs. He figured his games fell off his shelf, like they always do. He didn’t want to leave them on the ground so he got off the couch and started to go up the stairs.
Thump, thump, thump, whack!  “Ahhh, my leg,” Joey screamed. “My leg is broken!” He had fallen down the stairs and he heard a big “crack!”  When he fell, he didn’t know what to do except scream for his mom. “MOM!”

Joey’s mom hurried to him. When she saw him lying there in pain, she freaked out. His leg was bent backwards. “How did this happen?” she asked in a panic.
“I was going to pick up my games,” Joey replied in fear. He always hated going to the hospital. “I’m not going to the hospital,” Joey demanded. 
“I’m calling 911, and I’m not changing my mind,” she replied. Joey didn’t know what to do to get out of going to the hospital. He knew it was hopeless.

¨911, What’s your emergency?¨ the operator asked.
¨My son broke his leg,¨ Joey´s mom said nervously.
¨Ok mam, we're on our way.¨ the operator said calmly.
          Joey was just laying on the stairs and he heard the siren coming from the ambulance. He was scared, but he wanted to get it over with, so he didn't try to convince his mom not to make him go.
Then he heard the knocking at the door. KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Then, Joey´s mom answered the door and the EMTs came in with a stretcher and lifted Joey onto it. Then, they carried Joey into the ambulance and drove to the hospital. 
By this time Joey regretted not trying to fight going to the hospital. Joey just lay there on his back staring blankly at the roof of the ambulance.

          When Joey got home, he hopped out of the car on one foot and with the help of his crutches and mom made it inside. He was really sad he broke his leg and when he got inside he just plopped on the couch and layed down.
He was bored so he got up and told his mom he was going to play at the neighbor’s house.  His mom told him no, but he didn’t know why. Then, his mom told him that since he broke his leg, he couldn’t leave the house. 
He went to the couch and turned on his Xbox and put in a game. He played multiplayer and entered chat when he saw some people helping him. Their names were Bobby and Lucas. They talked and then they became friends. “Do you guys want to come over tomorrow?” Joey asked.
 “Sure”, they both replied.

The next day Bobby and Lucas came over and played games with Joey. They were really nice and they all became best friends. Then they played the Xbox. Joey kept beating them in racing and parkour, but he was bad at swimming. They loved playing the game Halo together. It was their favorite game. Joey got bored of playing Halo so they played Roblox. They all loved Obbys but they loved tycoons more. They did superhero things and diving things.
They were best friends and always wanted to play with each other.  Just then, Joey realized that it was not so bad that he broke his leg because he made new friends.
