Broken By Reality

Chapter ❽

(Still Lucy's POV)
At gymnastic training that night, my friends and I were just about to start. I thought that Wayne wasn't coming. 'ligit'. Until of course, like the punctual person he is, he ran through the door and up to me.
"Hey. Sorry I'm late." He managed to get out through puffs of breath from running
"All good. You better go sit down." I said while gently pushing his shoulder and throwing a wink in his direction. He winked back at me ad he strolled towards the seats.
"Okay ladies." My gym instructor Eleanor announced "Les get started. So as you all probably know, we are doing an exact rehearsal tonight of how the comp will run in April. This comp is very big and important. If you are selected for the NGT to go and compete in the IGC's, then you will no longer have to come here for training a until further notice as you will be training with the other NGT members. Okay. So let's get started. First up is floor routines. So, Karly. Your first." Eleanor had finally finished her little speech. But all I could think about was making the NGT's and competing in the IGC's. It had always been my dream. Okay, so you probably don't know what those abbreviations mean so: NGT= National Gymnastics Team
IGC= International Gymnastics Comp
I walked over to the floor routine mats swinging my arms high and stretching my neck like we have to in comps. I stood in place and the music started. After I had completed my floor routine, everyone (including Wayne) clapped for me. I bowed and strutted off the mats. Next up was Bree. Everyone watched her floor routine then clapped. As usual. We watched the rest of the team member's routines, Stacey, Britney, and Cleo's.
"Okay girls. That was fantastic. Still needs some work here and there but overall, it was great! Now onto the pole routines. Your up Karly." Argh. Why me first again?! Anyways. So everyone completed the pole routines really well. No one was hurt of fell off. We then showed the instructor our beam, group, acrobat, and ribbon and ball routines.
"That's all for tonight I think ladies. It was great to see all of you here and eager to participate. Thanks for putting in our best effort. I have taken notes about what needs improvement for everyone so that you know what to work on next week. Our training next week will just be normal. You will be able to practice all of your routines and whatever else you need to work on. I suggest that Cleo works on her strength to really get those pole routines under her belt. I also suggest that Karly and Bree work on their acrobat routines. And work on your backflips and triple backflips as well girls, just to make sure that you can land them. I would lastly like to suggest that Britney and Stacey on their beam routines to make sure that your confident with those walkovers and flips. Okay there's some other small things for everyone here but I'll talk to you all separately next week. Thanks girls. Make sure you help pack up and have a good night." And with that everyone went their separate ways to help pack away all the equipment.
"Hey. That was really amazing what you did. I loved it!" I looks up. It was Wayne. I blushed a little
"Thanks."
"I better go but I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for inviting me." He have me a hug
"No problem. Thanks for coming." I waved good bye as he strolled out of the building.

WAYNE'S POV
After Karly's gymnastics practice, I was so tired that I plonked myself on my bed, still in my baggy jeans and shirt that read CALIFORNIA. I didn't even have time to get changed before I fell asleep.
*******
I woke up to my phone vibrating in the back pocket of my now creased jeans. I flipped over and reached into my pocket, wriggling the phone to get it out. I looked at the screen. Karly was calling. I looked at the time displayed at the top of the screen. 2:16am. I answered.
*"Hey Karly. What's up?"* I figured that something must be up to be calling this early in the morning.
She answered me in a weary voice.
* * "hey Wayne. Help! Need you to call someone. Been in accident on way home. Help......."* her voice faded out as my heart raced a thousand miles an hour.
*"WHAT!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN! ARE YOU OK? I'll call someone right now!! Hang in there Karly. Where are you?"
"Terrisville Lane."
"Okay. How bad is the accident?"
"Well. There are seven cars that have squashed my car."*
That did not reassure me. I knew that I had to get there quickly. It was life or death.
