Luke is a 15-year-old boy who played football in Italy. He was born and raised in Rome, by his father,John who was born in England and found work in Rome after moving at 29 years old to live with his girlfriend Mary, she is the mother of Luke and she was an italian girl who sadly passed away after a sudden ilness 2 years after giving birth to her son Luke.
Luke had a passion for football like nearly every young Italian boy. At the age of 8, he joined a local football club called AS Roma Junior and quickly impressed the coaches with his skills. He was selected to play as a forward in the club's under-13 team.
Over the years, Luke continued to excel on the football field, and he was a key player in AS Roma Junior's under-16 team. He caught the attention of talent scouts from larger Italian clubs and received offers to join their youth academies. Football had become an integral part of Luke's life, and he spent most of his free time either training or watching professional matches with his father, who was a passionate football fan since he could talk. He dreamed of one day playing for AS Roma's senior team and representing Italy in international competitions.
Unfortunately, Luke's dreams of becoming a professional football player were derailed by a serious injury he suffered during a match. In the midst of a crucial game, Luke was tackled from behind by an opposing player and fell awkwardly on his leg, causing a painful and grueling injury that could possibly end his career.
The injury was devastating for Luke, who had been playing the best football of his life before the accident.
With the help of his father, Luke visited the best facilities in all Europe trying to find a method to get back to playing football, however after six months of useless search he slowly came to the conclusion that his dream would never become reality.
or so he thought until the sixth of june 2015.....
--------------Luke's Pov-------------
Hi my name is Luke, I was born in Rome in the year 2000, i have an amazing father named John, my father works as an assistant coach for the football team As Roma, of course how could my father not make me like football?
he made me watch every game of Roma since i could open my eyes.
Today is 6 months that i can't walk properly, nor run properly, i can't do anything related to the use of my right leg.
The injury that i had is a case that happens in a person out of a million, or so the doctors that i saw told me, and trust me i saw more doctors in this six months than you probably will ever see in your life.
Every single doctor that i encountered told me that i had to give up on my dreams of becoming a professional football player, and so i did, i can't do this anymore, neither me or my father can continue having our hopes broken apart at every visit at hospitals or clinics or whatever.
So here i am, laying in my bed inside my spacious room inside my desolated villa, my dad works a lot as he follows the team everywhere they go every day, if he doesn't he would probably lose his job, and since the death of my mother he refutes to try dating again, my grandmother and my grandfather are in London and my uncle Ted plays for a team in the MLS in the United States.
Actually i have started to talk to myself as i don't have much to do apart from watching football, i have zero friends since everyone was jealous of me and i concentrated on training and only training.
After talking to myself for some more time i got up to go to the cinema room, where i usually watch games and analyze them with my father, tonight there was the UEFA Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus, it was starting in 1 hour and i wanted to prepare everything by the time my father arrived at home.
As i was going to the kitchen to get popocorns with my crutches i slipped on something that was left on the ground, before i could realize what was happening everything went black and after that i could vaguely hear my father's screming in the distance...
