CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

It wasn't broken, although the doctor made us wait ages before he came in to tell us, probably as punishment for my refusal to quit riding for life. He taped up my ankle and left me with crutches and a prescription for painkillers. He also said I should stay off it for a week and that I shouldn't ride for a month. Dad and I just looked at each other and laughed. Like that was going to happen. The Sandman show was in less than two weeks.

"I can still show, can't I Dad?" I said in the car on the way home.

"We'll see," he said.

We stopped off to get my painkillers because even though I said I wouldn't need them, Dad said that was just because they had already given me stuff at the hospital and when it wore off, I would be sorry if I didn't have the pills. He said that he'd messed up enough ankles to know that by the look of mine it really hurt, which it did. I was just trying to prove that I was tough so he would let me ride in the show.

I waited in the car and texted Mickey a picture of my ankle and the crutches that were lying on the floor of the truck. She didn't text me back. She called instead.

"What happened?" she cried.

"I fell off Socks," I admitted sheepishly.

"Why? Did he do something wrong? Are you okay?"

"He didn't do anything wrong," I said. "It was my fault. I wasn't paying attention."

I didn't add that Jess had distracted me because that seemed like a cop out. I was ready to admit that Jess wasn't the root of all my problems and that I couldn't blame her for everything. It was time I started taking responsibility for my own actions.

“Do you have to skip the show?” she asked.

“I hope not,” I said, resting my head back.

Because it would really suck if I had to miss the show and as a result Jess went on to win everything.
