My first time going ice skating was January 18, my birthday. I was excited because I had been wanting to go for so long. I invited three of my best friends. Aubrey, Madeline, and Marley. Maddie, Marley, and I all stayed at my house right after school and we picked up Aubrey afterward. We were all having fun. At first, it was hard but we got the hang of it, except for Maddie. Marley and I were on the whole other side of the rink. We were skating when we heard a loud bang, we looked up and saw Maddie on the floor holding her ankle with Aubery. Marley and I skate over and start asking Maddie if she's okay. She said she heard a crack and couldn't feel her foot. The ambulance came and they took her. She ended up fracturing her ankle in three places and she tore three ligaments. I felt terrible, and to this day she (I think) jokingly says it's my fault. After the ambulance took her Aubrey, Marley and I stayed and ice skated. While ice skating, I rolled my ankle and fell to the floor. It hurt bad. Aubrey and Marley were joking saying "Not another one." Although my ankle was throbbing I still got up and skated for the last two minutes. When I took the ice skate off, my ankle started hurting more. I was limping and when I got in the car I was begging my mom to take me to the hospital. She said she wouldn't take me and that I was fine. We dropped Aubrey and Marley off at home and when we looked at my ankle it was swollen and red. They thought about taking me but they didn't. The next day I could barely walk so I didn't go to school, I was bored in my bed. The day after it felt better so I went to school but I was still limping. Over time it got better and (I think) I'm fine now.
