2. First Dialouge- Mom and I

I limped to the car, shrieking at the writhing pain in my leg. It burned. It throbbed. It hurt. The only thing I could focus on was the pain. I reached for the car door, lifting myself up. I laid down only wanting to cry. My mom stared straight ahead. Until a sound, almost a whisper broke the agonizing silence. I realized it was my mom.
"Caroline....Caroline! Answer me!" my mom yelled. I looked up not knowing what was going on.
"What?" I said quietly, barely loud enough to hear.
"What happened out there, I was on the phone and then all of the sudden I looked up and the game had stopped. Everyone looked like they had seen a ghost. I didn't know what to think until I saw you on the ground, reaching for your leg?" For a moment I thought. Not knowing how to answer the question. I couldn’t recall the memory. It brought back too much pain.
"I don’t know. I don’t know?" How could I not know? It was simple, I fell. No, I was tripped. No, no. I can’t remember. All I remembered was the pain. The deep agonizing pain that wouldn’t stop burning.
"Okay, relax. We'll be to the doctors soon enough. Don’t worry about anything. Everything is going to be okay." As the words flowed through my head I recognized the tone in her voice. The last words she said were not meant for me. Almost as to convince her it was true. I shuddered at the thought, and knew it was true when she wiped her eye. I realized she was crying.
