So High School

The fall

A/N I'm going on holiday in a couple of days so most likely there won't be another chapter for 3 weeks (I might find time to write but idk)
Also don't judge my medical knowledge it's all from Greys 😭

It was London night two, and Travis was in the VIP tent, cheering his girlfriend on like normal. Taylor had been feeling under the weather recently, however she loved the London atmosphere and crowds, so she was giving it her all, putting all her energy into making her performances amazing.

The rep intro had just started, so she was waiting to go on, just waiting to see the crowds faces when they realised they had been clowned once again. The stage opened as the first beats to '...Ready for it?' began, and she set off, strutting down the stage.

It was all going amazingly, she was on the raised platform with her dancers, giving the most energy into her choreography as possible. Travis was in the tent cheering his girlfriend on, so so proud.

However, as Taylor was doing the part where she turned on the risen stage, her foot slipped. It sent her stumbling back, and she lost her footing, falling backwards. The crowd held their breaths as she fell backwards off the high bit of the stage, landing on her back, not moving. It was a dangerous fall; the part of the stage she had fallen from was almost double her height, and she had landed on her back, hitting her head.

The lights quickly went out and the music stopped as the crowd went wild with worry.

Travis rushed down from the VIP tent, running through the crowds. He needed to get backstage. When he reached the stage he tried to get on but was held back, and instead had to go and wait with Tree, who was talking frantically to someone through her earpiece.

The stage went down and the dancers rushed to Taylor's side. Natalie bent down next to her, feeling for a pulse, checking if she was breathing.
"Shes breathing" She sighed in relief, looking up at the other dancers.
"We shouldn't move her, the medics are probably coming" Tamiya said, and the others agreed.

Two of the tech guys came running over, immediately kneeling down next to Taylor's still body.
"She's breathing and has a steady pulse" Natalie told them, and they nodded in response.
"An ambulance is coming, it's almost here, but we shouldn't move her in case there has been damage to her spine" one of the men said, straightening up. He looked around at the worried dancers, clearing his throat. "You guys can go back down" the dancers all nodded reluctantly, turning and leaving to go backstage.

As soon as they were down Travis and Tree rushed over, their faces painted with worry.
"Is she okay? What happened?" Travis asked them, scared.
"She's alive and breathing, but unconscious. I think she hit her head and she may have a spinal injury, I'm sorry" Amanda told them, resting a hand on Travis's arm. Just then, the medics came through. Three of them rushed up on stage, directed by Tree, with a stretcher.

They ran over to Taylor, resting the board beside her. They checked her pulse and breathing, putting a neck brace on her. Then, with the tech guys standing to the side, watching, they rolled her onto the stretcher carefully. They strapped her to the board then two of them lifted her, carrying her carefully. Once they had bought her down the steps Travis rushed over, almost bursting into tears when he saw her.

They set her down on the gurney.
"Is there a back way? A way we can get her to the ambulance without people seeing?" One of them asked Tree.
"I'm not sure, I'll get someone to go and ask the stadium staff" she left to do that, accompanied by some others.

Just then Taylor's eyes shot open and she groaned in pain, alerting everyone that she was awake.
"Hey baby" Travis murmered, careful not to touch her in case he did something.
"Hi Taylor, try not to move. I'm afraid you had a serious fall. I'm a paramedic, and were going to take you to the hospital as soon as we find a way to get you out of here without being seen" The ginger man told her. Taylor's eyes looked up to Travis as they filled with tears. It was obvious that she was scared.
"Can I hold her hand?" Travis asked one of the men.
" I think it's best if not, just in case she has a spinal injury and you jog it in any way" he replied sympathetically. Taylor shut her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks. She took deep breaths, trying to soothe the pain in her back and head.
"That's it sweetie, deep breaths" Travis soothed.
