I loved to top up my 157-cm frame by 2 . around in stilettos. My dad would 3 laugh at my addiction with footwear. “Youll break 4 your ankles！” hed say with a smile. Wearing heels made me feel 5 . So when I flew up to Queensland to celebrate with Lauren and the rest of our family， I paired my new heels with a pink dress.

Pain 8 through my left ankle， and the pain was 9 as it began trembling. Hot tears ran down as I realised I 10 move. It wasnt long before Dad was by my side. But as he tried to lift me off the floor I let out a 11 . The pain was too much to bear， so he had no choice but to 12 for an ambulance.
