Part 45

"Belle hurry up we're gonna be late"

"I'm coming" I fixed the last piece of hair that was sticking out of my bun grabbing my skates and purse and going downstairs

"Dad we're leaving"

"Alright have fun bye love you" we left the house and started walking to the bus we had to catch for the ice skating rink

We got into the bus and sat down somewhere, I was scrolling through insta and I didn't know what Walker was doing until I noticed something, I nudged his side making him look up

"That girl is like taking pictures or something" I whisper to him and he lets his eyes wander through the bus slightly until he sees her too

"I hate it when they do that, like come up to me and ask or something"

We met up with Micheal, Jasper, Grace and Sarah at the rink and it was really fun

"How are you so good at this ?" Sarah asked frustrated

"I was in a club for a while and I started when I was really young" I answered skating next to her "I saw this like really cool trick on TikTok and i like really want to try it out"

"Be careful Belle"

"I always am" I grin as I skate a little further to the middle where not so many people are skating, Sarah and Grace stay on the railing and watch me try the trick

I jump and spin a few times and then push up one more time to try the trick I wanted, but suddenly everything goes south, I lose my balance and fall horribly onto my right leg, a piercing pain shoots through my entire leg and I hold in a painful scream

"Belle" both of the girls slowly make their way to me careful not to fall down "Walker" Grace calls out to my brother who had his back to us and hurried to me too when he saw

"Oh my god Belle what happened, can you like stand ? Should we call an ambulance?" Sarah asked as she carefully knelt down to my side to get a better look at my leg

"What did you do ?" Walker asked as he also stopped by my side

"I'm calling 911 this can't be good" Grace said before skating off to get her phone

"It hurts" I mutter, tears were streaming down my face at this point and I tried really hard to control my breathing. A worker of the rink comes to us too when he saw that I was just laying there in the middle of the rink to check if everything was alright

"We called 911 already, should we get her away from here ?" Walker asks the worker

"No, no don't move just stay like that, this looks like a serious injury it's best if we don't move it"

"It really hurts" Walker held my hand while we waited for the paramedics to arrive and Sarah went to call our parents and tell them what happened

"Alright sweetie I'm just going to take a look at this real quick okay ?" I nodded at the paramedic and she tried but wasn't really successful because of my long pants and the skates "Okay there's not much we can do here but there's no bleeding that we see so that's good, we have to transport you to the hospital though. You said you can't stand up ?" I shook my head "that's right we're going to lift you on this okay ? How old are you ?"

"15"

"Are your parents or guardians aware of what happened are they coming ?"

"I have them on the phone. What hospital is she going to ?" Sarah said as she came up behind the woman, she had changed into her normals shoes and was a little steadier on her feet

"The one down the street here"

Everything was much of a blur because of the pain but we drove to the hospital, Walker came with me and our parents met us there

The doctors had to cut open my pants and the skate, they then scanned my leg and found that I had broken 3 bones, my fibula (something in my ankle) my Patella (kneecap) and my tibia (like my shinbone I think) which sucked. I had to go into surgery and that really fucked my day up

The whole thing had been completely blurry in my head after the fall, I just knew of the pain and knew that it felt horrible

It didn't get better afterwards, I had a cast around almost my entire leg and it was still hurting, I also knew that I would have huge scares because of the surgery and that terrified me

The doctor said that I would have to wear a cast over my knee for about 4 weeks and then a smaller one around my foot and shin for like 8 weeks afterwards so that meant around 12 weeks with crutches

We took another X-Ray after the surgery and I was allowed to go home afterwards, I didn't need to spend the night at the hospital and I was really grateful for that

Going up and down the stairs was horrible and took me so long, dad had carried me upstairs the day of the surgery but I had to learn how to walk them on my own eventually

Having my leg in a cast sucked, I couldn't do anything but lay in my room most day. I spent a lot of my time talking on the phone with my friends since I had nothing better to do

Authors note:
This chapter is a little messy but like your head is also a little messy after breaking your bones
Also like story time from when I had surgery on my foot:
I got home a few hours after the surgery and it was pouring rain outside, I had been in the hospital for like 10 hours by that time and I was exhausted and just wanted to be home. I was walking with my crutches and I had crocks on my other foot and the crocks slipped and I instinctively slammed my other foot down to not fall... every single one of the stitches broke lose and I was a crying mess, we drove back to the hospital and I was just sobbing while I got new stitches cause it was such a weird feeling and the needle they used to like numb my foot hurt like hell
End of the story time let's just say I was traumatised after that and thought my stitches broke open whenever something touched my foot
