the embarsing fall

Once upon on a time on the most wonderful of days Banner and I were in chorus this tragic event took place.  Making my way from where I sat to where Mr.Banjters desk happened to be. I happened to find an evil chair in my way as I was finding a way out of the girl’s chorus maze.

While trying to avoid this chair I came upon others blocking my way to get where everyone else had been sitting. I decided it be best to try and hurtle the one chair then move all the others. I inched a few steps back.  As I ran forward and finally came upon the chair I bent my knees getting ready to fling over it. I then pushed up with my toes flying into the air. I moved more up and up and when I was at the climax of my jump with one foot over the chair I felt a sudden hit on my left foot.

 I Realized in my attempt to hurtle the chair, my left foot attempted to make me trip. Sadly in the few mere seconds I knew I was doomed. I would hit the ground. And I heard banner gasp as I headed down.  I looked around at the others taking breaths so they could get ready to laugh. I saw blurry images but mostly the blue carpeted ground getting closer. as I plummeted to the ground I took one deep breath preparing for the slam I put my hands in front of me and closed my eyes.

And as I suspected I hit the ground with the fullest force. I landed on my hands then stomach then finally legs…  Now I heard it. The laughing has officially begun.  Just begun.  I knew my face was red and wanted to stay there forever in the embarrassment and humiliation, But I knew if I stayed there to long people would think that I had been hurt. If I got up to soon everyone would see the deep red blush in my face.

I waited and allowed myself five seconds. That would be enough time to calm my red blush and get the courage to stand up and face those now laughing people. Before I knew it five seconds had gone. I placed my hands on the floor pushing my upper body to a kneel.

 When I got there I know it is time to laugh. To laugh off the shame. I drew a smile across my face and began to giggle.  “I guess it’s a little funny” I mumbled to myself. I decided I better get up. I made one knee come to a squat bend, and then did the same with the other. I lifted my body off the floor and went to sit with my friends.

The result of the accident? Laughing throughout the day, I had a Yellow bruise on my foot, And of course the humiliation of an embarrassing fall.  I have learned that embarrassing falls can only be healed by two ways and two ways only. By laughing off the shame and time to heal the bruise.  Something you cannot hide from an embarrassing fall that will haunt your humiliation moments, it takes in all twenty to thirty seconds.

A new ending to stuck in neutral

Crackle… crackle… crackle oh no. The seizure was coming but I think I could hold it back for a little bit, if my dad was going to kill me I wanted him to look me in the eye and tell me. I didn’t want my life to end during a seizure.

 “Shawn I think I’m going to kill you.” said dad after a long while. There were millions of ways to escape going through my head, but I knew none of them would work because I couldn’t move the slightest hair on my head. It was all happening, so quickly. My brain was racing thousands of miles per hour. My dad just sat there beside me like nothing was wrong with what he said. How could he think that that is his choice?

Then I started thinking, thinking, of everything that has ever happened to me ever. Then I was screaming in my head “NO dad! NO I don’t want to die.” Then I did something I hadn’t done in years. I prayed. I prayed that something would happen so I wouldn’t have to die. At least not tonight. “Please God,” I prayed. “Please!’ and my dad started reaching for my face with the pillow.

Then it happened. Paul came bursting through the door and caught my dad’s hands just as the pillow was inches from my face. Paul yanked the pillow form his hands. “Why dad?!” he shouted.

“He doesn’t need to live through this suffering!” my dad replied in a shout.

“What makes you think he’s suffering look in his eyes can’t you see the fear!” He shouted again.

“The only fear here is that he might have to go through pain again!”

“You’re the only fear here!” Paul said with an evil smile going cross his face then punched my dad so hard that he was knocked out Paul looked at me smiled and said, “you’re safe now.” And by the look on his face I knew I was. 

Crackle…crackle. The last glimpse I had was my mother and Cindy rushing in the room, Then I was out of my body and into my seizure and I knew when I woke up things would be better, thanks to Paul.

the teddy bears revange

Bob telling the story:

One day Banner came home from school she was having a rough day. She went straight to her room without talking to anybody. As she went to her room she found me her very amazingly awesome lime green teddy bear that’s right for my name is Bob sure I may be old and raggedy but I am still good (was still good.) She went and told her mom she needed a new one to replace me that little brat! And her mother said they would go get one right after dinner.

So after dinner they went straight to the store.  Banner had trouble picking a new teddy bear but managed to find an awesome looking elephant right away she named him Johnny. When they got home she introduced her teddy bear elephant Johnny to me bob then she went and threw me in the in to the D.I. why would that disgusting girl do such a thing!? Then she went to bed and cuddle up to her sissy elephant!

The next day when she woke up she found not Johnny but me that’s right I snuck out of that bag and got on the bed and put Johnny in the dang D.I.! She had that What had happened to Johnny look on her ugly little face. She had no time to think of that so she went to school. When she got there she told her best friend sally about the whole thing, “It was weird!”  Banner said.  “I swear I put Bob in the D.I. bag and Johnny next to me!”  “Are you sure you aren’t high on something?” asked sally in a joking matter! And while that little twerp was at school I came up with a plan an… an evil plan.

Banner telling the story:

I walked in the door after school and went straight away to finding Johnny I searched all over the place for him! And then when I was looking under the bed it finally hit me I probley accidently put Johnny in the D.I. bag and Bob right by my side! So I went to check in the bag and sure enough there was Johnny!  So I took him out and put him on the bed and bobby in the bag. I made sure it was Johnny on the bed this time! So after dinner I went to bed.

I woke up in the morning and was very alarmed to find Bob! What was he doing in my bed I swear I put Johnny on my bed. I went upstairs and what a mess I found not only was Johnny in the D.I. bag but so was all my other teddy bears like Sam the snake I got from the zoo and tony the tiger I got for winning a sweepstakes ! What was going on!? I went to ask my mom if she did this and she and no!  What? How could this happen was someone playing a trick on me? No that couldn’t be because it’s just me and my mom who live here! Was I walking in my sleep!?  I just told myself I was crazy and went to jut live through my day. It was a Saturday so I decided to hang out with friends but before I did I showed my mom exactly where I put Johnny and where I put Bob. “See and ill put Bob in to the D.I. bag .okay?’ I asked.

“Yes yes ill make sure he stays there and Johnny to.” She replied so with that I was off to hang out with friends!

I had such a good day my friends and I went to the football game as I walked through the door I started shouting her name. But stopped when I saw her huddled up in the corner and a terrified look on her face, with the phone in her hand so I went to ask her what’s wrong she just looked up at me and stood up.  “Nothing’s wrong were just going to a hotel tonight that’s all.” She said. “Oh okay. Why?’ I asked. “I thought it would be fun!” she said what was really weird cause my mom hates hotel cause she thinks their dirty. Like one time before my dad died we went to Disney world and my mom made us stay in the car because she didn’t want to sleep in a dirty room. “Okay.” I said in a voice so she knew I didn’t know what was going on, “just let me pack my things.” “no.” she said in a hurry loud voice. “I’ve already packed them there in the car!”

We got to the hotel around 10:00pm then went to dinner. When we got back to the hotel we were both so worn out we got are pajamas on and went straight to bed. “Mom!” I called form the next bed over. “Why did we really leave? What’s going? Are we losing our house?’ I asked probably too many questions. “Losing our house? Ha-ha no. I just wanted to do something fun this weekend.” She replied. “Okay night mom.” I said “night” she said back. Then I suddenly new why we were here. Bob.  So I closed my eyes not knowing id have a surprise in the morning.

I opened my eyes and there he was. Lying right next to me. How did he get there I asked myself. Then I screamed it. “How did he get here?!” it was so loud I woke my mom and probably the next door neighbors. “Whose here!” my mom asked confused. “Bob!’ I shouted back. Her face had never looked so terrified. We didn’t know what to do. And after a second the bears stringed up lips were curling into a smile. The bear was smiling at me. The bears smile got wider until I could see his sharp teeth. It leaned down to my leg it opened its mouth and the bear bit me! But why couldn’t I fell it I could feel his cold teeth just not the bite. I felt the teeth get deeper into my leg. I tried to pull him off me but I couldn’t! I couldn’t even move! Why couldn’t I move? What was wrong with me! Then it hit me. I was in shock. Then I started to feel the bite a little more at a time when I finally felt it fully it hurt like a knife dinging into your leg and being twisted around. So I decided I came out of shock and I could move my arms again and this time I pulled him off me I pulled his teeth out of my leg. It hurt. I looked at my mom. I saw her in shock why was she then I saw it two of my old teddy bears were biting her one on her leg and one on her arm.  I went over and pulled them off her. And she looked at me and grabbed the keys and we ran. We walked out the door. I was looking at my mom the whole time when she stopped I looked at her eyes to see where she was looking at and I followed her gaze to an army of teddy bears.

We just stood there and looked it was the weirdest thing to see! Over three hundred teddy bears smiling with long coned shape teeth. I looked at my mom and knew if we could stand there for a million years she would so I took action. I drug her by the arm down the hallway through the bears. I had to we couldn’t just stand there forever. I felt it now. I felt around 15 bears biting me I knew if I had let myself I probably have went into shock just like my mother was doing now right behind me. I managed to pick her up and give her a piggy back down the stairs and out the building. We finely made it to the car so I started pulling the teddy bears off me and smashed their heads then did the same for my mother. I struggled to pull my mother in the car. But finally did it. I turned on the ignition and a smile went across my face as all the teddy bears were scrambling out of the building. I put the car into drive and hit and killed around 312 teddy bears. I had won most of them. I started driving somewhere and I didn’t know where. Obviously not home. And so I just drove tell my mother was awake. Then I knew where I was headed. The hospital.
