Skateboarding Injury (Non-Binary Y/N X Jade) (Requested)

Summary: Y/N goes out to the skate park with their friends when they try a difficult trick and end up getting badly injured but they just shrug it off despite their arm having a nasty graze and looking bruised so their friends send them off back home. When they arrive home, their girlfriend Jade greets them and they watch a film. As Y/N gets up to head to the kitchen, they groan out of pain which Jade notices and she forces them to tell her what was going on...

(Just imagine that Jade's 16-17 here since in England, college starts at 16 years old)

Y/N's POV

College is out for the day so me and my friends have decided to head out to the local skate park which is quite popular with kids these days, I am determined to finally nail the one trick that I've been practicing for weeks, it's really difficult but I'm not just gonna give up because of that.

"I promise you, Y/N, you are gonna nail it this time around!" Florence, my best friend, tells me as we approach the skate park. "You were so close last time..."

"I guess we will see if that is true..." I respond, watching the skaters soaring through the air on their boards whilst gripping onto my own. "I've never successfully done this trick so this could go one way or another..."

One of my other friends pulls out their camera and begins to film me as I ride towards the half-pipe, my board begins to soar and I perform the trick successfully! But then on the descend, my board clips onto the edge and I fall onto the solid concrete, a sharp pain shooting through my left arm as I try to break my fall with a out-stretched arm.

My friends run over to me as I sit up with a grimacing expression, they inspect my arm and carefully roll my ripped up sleeve up to see a nasty graze along with a bruise already forming.

"You have to head to the hospital, mate..." One of my friends tells me, scrupulously assisting me to my feet as another pain, that feels like being shot, hits me.

"Come on, my car is just up there." Florence tells me, leading me to her car before driving me home.

I wander into the house to find my girlfriend sitting in the living room, doing her college homework.

"Hi, love." I greet her, looking into the kitchen for my mum or dad but neither of them are here. "What are you doing here? I thought you, Perrie and Leigh-Anne were hanging out tonight."

"Your mum and dad have gone out the weekend so they want us to dogsit..." She tells me with her back turned as my German Shepherd Ozzy walks up to me. "How was your skateboarding time?"

"Had a little tumble and hurt my arm a bit but I'm fine." I partly lie to her, looking down at my arm to see it becoming worse with every second.

"I hope you're alright, baby."

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just have a little graze on my forearm but I'm good."

I open up the cupboard and take painkillers so that the pain stops which it eventually does but I still don't feel 100% before heading upstairs to carefully change my shirt and wipe off some of the blood as I finally see how bad the graze on my arm is.

A few hours later-

We're just watching a film and my arm has been feeling better (hopefully) and I'm hoping that this pain just resides.

"Baby, could you get me some more popcorn?" Jade asks me, handing me the now-empty bowl to which I nod and go to stand up-

-when my entire arm has another shooting pain, causing me to groan out of displeasure and try not to tear up out of pain.

"You alright, baby?" My girlfriend heard my pained groan so I go to tell her that everything is fine when I can just see that she can see right through me. "What's going on?"

I reluctantly and carefully roll my sleeve up to show her my injury and to say that it's not what I expected would be a understatement. My arm has bruised, dried up blood, swollen and looks out of place.

"What happened to your arm?!" Jade exclaims, standing up and inspecting my arm with caution.

"This is what happened at the skatepark but I didn't want to make you feel stressed so I lied about how bad it was." I answer her to which she frowns at me.

"Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N, you know how serious this could be..." She scolds me, glaring at me as if I were a mischievous child in trouble. "We need to get you to the hospital as soon as possible!"

I involuntarily allow her to essentially drag me to the car where she drove to the hospital and got me checked in where we ultimately found out that I have broken 2 bones in my arm and shoulder separately and I now know that I should have came a lot earlier.

I get my arm casted and a sling to elevate my shoulder before heading back home where Jade doesn't seem too pleased with me for lying to her.

"You really are irritating, Y/N Y/L/N..." She sighs as I lay down on my bed before she hesitantly lays down with me, cuddling into me where we both eventually fall asleep.
