Laurie flinched. "You can’t tell mom." Will hesitated, then nodded. Laurie took a breath, then let it out. "I got hit with a bludger in the chest during practice. It broke my ribs, and one of them tore my aorta in my heart. I damn near bled out on the field until the medics got to me." Laurie snorted. "When I watched them try to save me, I realized that I didn’t want to do this. Fuck, it wasn’t worth it. When I asked the team for a break, they told me that they would just cut me. I wasn’t performing as well after."
