All week I had felt like my entire world had caught on fire. I felt like I had crashed at the hospital, or probably more like at the swim meet, and now I was slowly burning while everyone I knew just went about their daily lives.
Every day since I left the hospital I had been forced to sit out from practice. My parents were even in on it all so they would get in my way whenever I tried to swim at all. I was never left alone for long since they acted like they couldn't trust me not to hop into the first thing I saw that was filled with water.
They were probably right though. I was so desperate for a chance to be in the water that I was taking really long baths every day. That didn't make my parent's happy either. They thought I was being ridiculous about all of this.
I'd like to see them have the one thing that gives their lives a purpose get taken away from them. Let's see how ridiculous they think I was being then. I swear this week lasted for a year, or longer.
