Slap in the Face

As many of you already know, today I encountered a minor injury to the face.
After leaving the locker room, it was raining and windy. I was walking to my car because it was lunch time and I needed to run home and get something.
Conveniently, it starts pouring like crazy so I start to run to my car. (Which was in the BACK of the parking lot.) As I get to my car, I put my key in as quickly as possible and when I opened the door, the wind was strong and it hit me smack dab on the forehead. I semi-blacked out for a moment and when I looked at my reflection there was blood gushing out of my head and throbbing pain. Pouring it was, so I sat in my car. I panicked I would pass out and nobody would find me so I speed dialed my mom. But before she answered I was already bawling and she couldn’t understand what I was saying very well except that I wasn’t okay. So I’m in my car searching for someone to help me but it was in the back like I said, and waaay wet so hardly anyone was out there. I did however, spot my friend Leah, but as I was screaming for her..i think she assumed I was saying hi or couldn’t hear me because she was walking away from me and the rain. Not knowing what else to do I stumbled in the parking lot still looking for anyone familiar because I was dizzy as hell. By the time I got to the cement, Nicole S., Jessica D., and Marissa D. were huddled around me. I didn’t even know what to say because I was soaked, crying and bleeding. Thank god they found a monitor right away and the attendance ladies cleaned up my cut. It wasn’t very big, but my head was swollen and it hurt immensely. Fifteen minutes later, my mom was there and took me home. But man it was not fun sitting at home. My dad made me watch a movie with him, but I kept falling asleep…so he made me drink coffee and made me be cold, just to stay awake. Blah. It’s so mind-boggling how random events occur. I thought today was just a rainy Wednesday but it took me by surprise. I’m okay now despite the pain and the ugly little cut. I just hope the weather clears up and everyone stays safe. Who knew rainy days could cause concussions!?
