How Anticlimactic…
We all paused. Alex stopped bouncing for a minute, and with the sandwich still in his mouth (He’s one incredible boy I must say, lol. That sandwich’s contents didn’t fall out at all! Even when he was bouncing… he’s like… Magic!) And Alex opened the door a little, and Dexter squeezed himself in. Gavin paused, and stared at Dexter who stared at him suspiciously, with what I thought to be a, ‘What are you doing?’ Look. Gavin hung up the phone, and blamed Alex, who was still busy with the sandwich, and hopping with his hands in the air. The rest of us ran off to the back, as Aran and Dexter had Gavin call the party off thankfully, heh.

Reaching the back, we ran into Arion who was with Jane, and Arion was playing with a lighter, and burning dominoes… something Cameron and I vowed to try when we got home… once we bought some dominoes that is. ^_^; Mike and Michael went to check out the back a bit more, leaving us to talk with Jane and Arion. Watching Arion, Cameron felt an urge, and asked Arion if he could play with the lighter, and in return, Cameron would let Arion play with the Purple Link plushie, which he probably stole from me after Alex raided my backpack. Not that I cared… I didn’t like Purple Link that much, anyway… (*Gets a feeling that’s going to come back to bite me soon… >_>;*) as long as I got him back in one piece. There was a sudden gasp from behind the gate which Michael and Mike and disappeared to, and so we ran (Except Janie who only likes to walk slowly) to the gate, which had sealed off a really nice pool… a nice, EMPTY pool. Then that mischievous look came to Mike’s face… and surely enough, Mike had a plan.

“This would make a nice pit…” Mike said. Everyone agreed, and so we decided—well… Mike decided, that we should use it to skateboard. As tempting as that was, the pool was one hell of warped one, and the floor was sharp and jagged since it hadn’t been used for quite some time. So, some serious injuries could occur. But us being so reckless, and not minding almost killing ourselves had Cameron go fetch our boards from our backpacks, which we all brought a board… except Dexter who broke his last week after getting fed up with it, lol. Cameron came back with most of the boards, including mine which I could’ve swore I did something to it at the time, but it seemed fine since Cameron was riding it, heh. There was a rail leading from the stairs down, to the pool, like all pools have, but this one was extended, the railing went a bit further than what most pools would, so the rail would be perfect for grinding. The rest of us getting ready, and having Janie go fetch the first aid, with Bridgett, who was learning in the corner, being taught by Alex, Ryan, and Michael… I was laughing because I learned by myself, but she needed three people to help her, when I barely ever needed any of them to help… but then again, I learned after Cameron pushed me on a board without me knowing, so… >_>;

Mike himself decided to try and grind without a board, so instead he ran, jumped, and grinded the rail with his shoes… it started out smoothly enough, but near the middle of the rail, he slipped, and took the rail to the groin, and then hit the floor with a resounding, ‘thud!’ we all rushed over, and Mike was on the floor motionless. So, Cameron and Jason jumped in, and ran over to check him over. Mike had already started getting up, and he turned to us laughing. Mike was the only one crazy enough to do something like that… I think that’s why we find him so much fun, lol. He stood up again, and yelled out, “Cameron next!!” Jimmy jumped forward from out of nowhere, and went next, and he made it safely off the rail, but then he landed, and the board hit the floor a bit roughly, causing Jimmy to lose control to the jaggedness of the floor, so he just ended up falling on his ass lol. The rest of us were sitting on the edges on the pools, and laughing as he complained about his tailbone. Eventually, Mike wanted to go again, but he also tried to get me to go… through all my memories in the past, Mike is normally the one whom was what caused all my broken legs, ribs, arms, and so on. I’ve actually been told I’ve broken every bone in my body, but my hip… so my doctor says… and I believe him. I have broken all my ribs once, both of my legs and arms, wrists, ankles… I just need my hips now… I’m sure Mike will help me with that, though lol.

But, Mike being so persuasive finally got to me, and so I grabbed my board. For some reason, although I knew I was going to get hurt, I didn't and never have listened to myself… -_-; So, Mike grabbed Cameron’s board, and took off first. Out of all of us, he was the first to finally land unharmed… so it seemed... but me… Although I know how to board, I normally can’t grind very well-- with a snowboard yeah, maybe. But a skateboard is a bit more difficult and yet I learned it the hard way. >_<;

Although I started off well like Mike, I forgot that the front left wheel was loose on the axle after I tried on a new set of wheels, and was too lazy to tighten them all correctly. So, the wheel came loose, and I lost balance, causing the board to slip, and coming down, I took the rail to the head, and I also hit one of the stairs with my hip, and both were really huge impacts, and to top it off, I tumbled a bit, smacked my leg on something fierce, and Cameron and some others had already been running after me, but by the time they got to me, I had cut up my whole left side with the floor of the pool, which, like I said, was jagged and chipped, so when I was looked over by Alex, Jimmy and Ryan, a nice big fat open wound on my side along the rib cage was found. My side was badly cut; it looked as if someone had cut a large layer of skin from my side. It was just raw human meat. And there was a lot of raw meat showing, so my brothers carried me into the garage for first aid. When they looked it over again, I was bleeding a hefty lot on my side, and the concussion had me completely lost and disoriented. As a result, I had a concussion, damaged my ribs, and one of the other guys was certain of a broken hip and leg… or at least sprained or damaged it to some extent. The leg was certainly broken, though. And to make it worse, I was starting to pass out, so they tried to keep me awake.

Mike and Cameron on the other hand were both scared, cause once Aran saw me, he’d probably blame them. Ryan was already starting to bandage the side wound, and Jimmy started with the head. Aran and Dexter made their way outside, and Mike tried to get them to leave, but they refused, after they nocitced him limping and once they saw me, they stared at quite a wreck. “What’re we going to tell mom?” Was all they could say, Dexter looked over Mike, who had a huge cut on his head from the first fall, and a sprained ankle from the turn with me... we just never noticed it until the blood started. So, they bandaged him up, too, and then Dexter went back inside. There was this huge pad to cover up my side wound, and then layer after layer of bandages… it was like a light brown color bandage-- the one’s you’d use to bandage a broken ankle or leg. It was funny to me; cause like, four or five of the guys were helping bandage me up. So Aran was on one side, Michael was next to him, Ryan on my other side, and next to him was Alex, who was eating a honey bun while tightening the grip of the bandages. When they finished, there were probably four or five layers covering up the pad that covered up the wound itself. And then, Arion came out with Aran’s cellphone, and stated our mom was calling. O_o;

Cameron took the phone, and said, “We’re going home now…” then Mike smacked him, and said, “We got drafted… into a play… so if we come home bloody and bandaged, it’s a game! WE WERE AT WAR MOTHER! THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING! WE WERE BOMBED! THERE WAS PUNCH!” the shrieking was back, and mom was yelling out questions. Then, Aran got the phone and said, “Sorry mom, static! And anything you think is wrong it's Cameron’s fault!” and he hung up. Cameron glared and said something about running Aran over, but Aran really didn’t care… Cameron couldn’t drive anyway… mom revoked his license before he got it. I had to sit for quite some while, cause I had really hurt my side, luckily, Arion had some crutches in the garage, so I was able to move around on my own a bit more. My side was killing me, and I could barely breathe cause the stupid bandages were on so tight. Walking inside, Gavin was still calling back people, and cleaning the kitchen, while Dexter sat on the counter with a bat telling him to keep working, lol. It was probably about one in the morning at the time, and nobody came, seeing how Gavin called them all right back, and canceled the party… how anticlimactic, eh? The rest of us were heading up stairs to remain talking there, and getting ready for the next day to come. Dexter had already stated we were to go home that day. But mom was certainly going to be angry with the others seeing how I almost broke my hip, tore my side up, and got a concussion that hurt more than the migraines I get, heh.

Mom always got worried when any of us got hurt… the last time Alex tripped, she took him to the doctor to look him over. And the doctor said it was nothing, but mom wanted to be sure… then she made all of us get check ups. O_O; I hate doctors… they’re creepy. >_>; Well, the night was rather calm… Gavin was still cleaning the kitchen, and our aunt called the house stating that she’d be home within the next few hours. Arion for once wasn’t the little freak he always was, and Janie… well… she liked the dark. That seems to fit her just fine... trust me. >_>; eventually, we went to sleep, and bright and early, we’d be leaving as quickly as we’d come… or… something like that, heh... if only we could sleep now... >_>;
