A Forgotten Dream [1x1]

Breaking News!
The captain of the Varsity Boy's soccer team had to be rushed from the field today after what seemed to be a shattered left leg. #15 of the opposing team slide-tackled our captain, and it looked like he landed wrong on his leg. A loud gasp could be heard from the stands as he cried out in pain, and you could hear a pin drop when the medics came to help. We wish him the most speedy of recovery, #7, you are in our thoughts. Assistant team captain, #9, will be taking the captain spot until he is fully recovered.

What are you going to do when what you love is shattered right infront of your own eyes?

Name: Lucas Noah Bays
Age: 17
Personality: Lucas is one of those guys that know what he's got and isn't afraid to show it off. He sometimes is considered cocky, but he just likes to do what he loves. Soccer is the biggest part in Lucas' life, and he'll put everything after practicing. Well, except for his best friend, Tori. He would do anything for her and anyone else he cares deeply about.
History: Lucas grew up being an only child, and when he was 8 his parents forced him to get active and play a sport. His dad could imagine him being the all-star quarterback, but was shocked when Lucas picked soccer. Within a year of playing, Lucas had excelled on his team and fell deeply in love with the sport. He became a varsity all-star in his freshman year of high school, and made varsity captain as a sophomore.

Name:
Victoria (Tori) Scarlet Arceneau
Age:
Seventeen
Personality:
Victoria is down to earth kind of girl. She loves to live a simple and happy life. Though her parents are fairly wealthy, she's not a materialist who asks for things just to show off to others. She's very easy to talk to and is very friendly. Though there are some girls who dislike her, so she tends to get bullied by them quite a lot, but she doesn't complain about it nor does she tell anyone; she hates making people worried especially when its her who they're worried about. Causing trouble is the least of her priorities, so it's best for her to just shrug it off. Her grades are fairly good, but she does get occasional C's.
History:
Victoria was born in London, England, but at the age of 8 her parents moved to America to start their business there. They're always away which leaves Tori alone in their big mansion with their servers. She doesn't like to live in luxury for she just wants a simple life.

At the start of middle school, she met Lucas. They became instant friends. As the years went by, Tori's feelings grew more than just friendship but she never told anyone nor is she planning to. She tries her best to hide it from Lucas, but sometimes she does slip. She knows that Lucas doesn't feel the same way about her and she doesn't want something like that to ruin their friendship, so it's best if she kept it a secret.
Other: She has a hint of British Accent.

{Great post :) Are we starting this after her breaks his leg or before? And would you like to start or should I?}

(I'll start, and I'm going to start right before, sort of like a flash back for him.)

Pain. That's all he could remember, really. He remembered taking the ball into the box, getting ready to shoot to get another goal for his team. He also remembered a defender, he was large, burley and muscular. Lucas had a bad feeling about him from the start of the game, but who would go crying to the coach about it? Certainly not Lucas. He wasn't the one to complain and cry. He wanted to face the small fear he had and he played his normal center forward position. Replaying that scene in his head, it went a little something like this; Lucas was running the ball up the middle of the field. he had gotten into a good shooting range, and he planted his left leg next to the ball in order to get a powerful shot in. Next thing he knew the same defender had came up and slide-tackled him, running his foot into Lucas' leg. He crumpled to the ground, his leg feeling like it had just been blown off by a land mine.

As he was put in the back of the ambulance, he muttered one word. "Tori," he said, his voice week and his eyes beginning to shut from the pain medication. tear were streaming down the sides of his face, and he wondered if this was the end of him ever playing soccer again. Lucas couldn't stand the thought, and he lifted up he hand to wipe his face off. The sound of the sirens calmed him a bit, knowing the sooner he arrived at the hospital the sooner he would be able to see Tori and his family again.

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

Victoria was sitting on the benches, rooting for Lucas and his team. The adrenaline rush filled her body as Lucas was about to shoot; but out of nowhere the defender came and the next thing she remember was that Lucas was on the ground in pain. She gasped and immediately stood up, the same way everyone in the crowd did. The ambulance came and everything went silent. The ref blew the whistle, giving the defender a red flag. Tori took off from her seat and immediately ran towards the ambulance. She tried to get pass the medics, but they blocked her off. Her eyes began to stream with tears at the sight of her best friend being pulled into the ambulance. They didn't let her go in with him, so she decided to get her car.

She ran through the parking lot and immediately entered her car and started it. Usually, she would wait for the car to heat up, but this was an emergency, so she pulled out of the parking space and began to drive towards the hospital. The ambulance already left by the time she started her car, which meant that he would be in the ER by the time she gets there.

Moments later, she reaches the hospital and ran inside. As much as she wanted to go inside with him, she couldn't. All she could do was wait. They've already phone his parents and they are on their way. Victoria sits on the waiting room just outside the where Lucas was. Her hands were clasped together as she rested her head on them, hoping and praying that Lucas was alright. A few tears managed to drip down her face as she kept on praying.

Lucas laid on the bed in the emergency room awaiting the doctor to come back in wit the news about his leg. Almost everything in his lower body was numb from the extensive amounts of pain medication they had given him, and he looked up to see an IV drip hanging on a post. The needle was in his hand, a place he found very uncomfortable. He knew no bones were protruding since a short round nurse called out something along the lines of 'no external bleeding, no bone visible.' when they were examining his leg for the first time. He thought Tori was somewhere out in the ER, and frankly he cared more about her being here then his parents. Lucas sighed in anger believing that this disaster was all his fault. 'At least it was me and not one of my team-mates' he thought to himself.

A few seconds later a young doctor about 30 walked in the room in a white lab coat and blue-green scrubs. He held in his had some x-rays, but Lucas couldn't remember them being taken. "Lucas," the doctor started, a twinge of sadness in his voice. "As you can see here you shattered your fibula, and have one fracture in the tibia." As the doctor was talking, he pointed to 4 fractures in the smaller bone of his leg and one crack in the larger one. "You're going to need surgery, and the sooner we get you in the better," the doctor added.

Lucas sat stunned for a moment, his mouth agape and his eyes as wide as they could go being on the pain medicine. "Tori, my best friend, she's probably out there, can I see her before I go in?" he asked, tears reforming in his eyes. He thought that this was the end of any soccer career he had, weather it be the rest of high school or with the professionals. "Sure, I'll go grab her," the doctor said as he walked out of the door. "Tori?" he called out into the waiting room. "You can see him before surgery, but you must make it quick."

[тнε.τяαgιϲ.нεяσιηε~]

As Victoria was in still sitting there, praying for his wellness. Someone suddenly called her, she turned her head as her green eyes fixed on the man in the lab coat; it was obviously the doctor. He called for her to go in and she didn't hesitate. Immediately wiping her tears, for she didn't want him to see her that way; though it was obvious in her slightly red eyes.

She slowly entered his room and saw him in tears. She walked over to Lucas and took his hand as she caressed it with her thumb and held it tightly. "It's going to be okay, I promise...." she hoped that it would persuade him, but she herself couldn't persuade herself. She held the tears together, not wanting to cause Lucas even more pain. She noticed the x-rays that hung on the wall as she gasped and covered her mouth. It looked terrible, but she closed her eyes and kept herself composed for him.

"I'll be waiting right here, I promise. Even if it takes all day and night, I'll wait right here for you." she smiled hoping that it would lift up his spirit even just a little bit.

[burnham]

Lucas squeezed Tori's hand lightly, the pain medication's draining his energy. "I know you will," he said softly. "I'll be looking for you." He let out a small smile and his eyes brightened seeing Tori. She would be the one who would be getting him through this horrible time, and he wouldn't have it any other way. "Come here," he said, lifting his other arm to embrace her in a hug.

The man in the coat came back into the room for a second and said. "Your parents are here." he then walked back over the x-rays, looking them over carefully. Just then, both his mother, a 5'5 thin woman walk into the room with his slightly taller father behind her. "My baby!" she called out, running over to the opposite side of the bed. Tears were streaming down her face as well, and his father stood at the doorway. His face reflected utter disbelief, how could his prodigy son be laying in a hospital bed with a shattered leg?

The doctor appeared through the door once more, wanting to explain the procedure to all of his visitors. "Lucas is going to need an extensive repair surgery, one that could last about 6 hours. They need to secure all 5 of his breaks with metal plates and screws, and hopefully he'll be able to walk again, at least." the doctor said, an emotionless tone to his voice.
