Y/n's POV:

I woke up to a alarm going off, it was Matts, I just groaned and pulled the cover over my head, I could hear him chuckle at me.

"Rise and shine" he said as he pulled the cover away from my face as he pulled me closer to him.
"Nooo...." I mumbled as I cuddled him close hiding my face in his chest.
"Yep, you said you wanted to join me in the gym!" he said as he kissed the top of my head, I then looked up at him.
"True... but why now? It's 7 am" I said as he looked down at me.
"Because I have to get back to work for the new show and youuuu have to help me with that" he said as I put my head on his chest again.
"Remind me again why I both work for you and am your girlfriend?" I asked as he laughed.
"You chose that" he said as I looked up at him, I kissed him deeply.
"True... and I can't say I don't love you cause I do" I said as he smiled at me, he kissed me again.
"love you too, now let's get up and get ready" he said pushing me off making me get up, I walked to our walk in closet and started to pick out my leggings and matching sports bra, I then stole one of Matt's hoodies and put that on too.
"You keep stealing miiine" he said as he walked in to find himself some clothes, he had a protein shake ready for me and I happily took it.
"They fit better!" I defended as he laughed and hugged me from behind.
"It's fine, you look better in it anyways" he said as I smiled at him, he then kissed my cheek and got dressed.
We then walked to the car and Matt drove, he had his hand on my thigh and I had my hand on top of his.
"What are you working out today?" he asked as I looked over at him.
"Your fave" I said as he laughed.
"Butt?" he asked as I nodded my head.
"Yea, and then I need to get back at my deadlift game" I said as he nodded, we always go to the gym together even though we didn't have the same workouts.
"And you?" I asked as he smiled at me.
"Chest and guns" he said as I smiled at him.
"My fave" I told him as he nodded.
Matt parked the car and we walked into the Gym, there weren't a lot there today, I liked that, I hated whenever it was too full, after finding our spots to work out I started to warm up, doing some squats and such.
I got to the deadlift part of my workout, I had always loved this exercise, but I have had a little break from it.
I started out easy and eventually put on more weights, I looked at the bar and nodded to myself, thinking that I could definitely do this.
I got into my lifting position, I got it up but as I was in the standing position with the bar in my hands, something popped in my lower back, it hurt so bad and I let out a small pain scream, I just let go of the bar and it dropped to the floor.
I too dropped to the floor, I laid onto my back and put my arms over my face, I then heard someone yell my name and steps running to me.

Matt's POV:

I heard a small pain scream from the direction of Y/n, I then heard the weights being dropped, I turned around to see Y/n on the floor with her arms over her face.
"Y/n!" I called out running to her side, I kneeled down as I got super concerned.
"What happened?" I ask as she tried to breath through her pain.
"It popped...." She said as I got confused, I removed her arms and looked at her, she had her eyes closed.
"What popped?" I asked as she then let a small tear fall, she is in so much pain...

"My lower back...." She breathed out.

"What?!" I said as I got even more concerned and nervous now, it's not supposed to do that...
"I don't know it hurts..." she now cried out, I took her hands and rubbed her arm.
"I'm afraid to pick you up, I don't want you to get more hurt..." I said as I grabbed my phone and dialed 911.
"I can't get up..." she said, she now opened her eyes to look at me, I could tell she was scared too.
"It's going to be okay, I'm calling 911" I tell her as I kiss her forehead, she kept her hand in mine as she was breathing through the pain, her legs were shaking cause of the pain.
The paramedics were on the way and I tried to calm Y/n down as much as I could, when they arrived I had to move out of the way.
"Alright Miss, we need you onto the spinal board" they said as she nodded, when they moved her she cried out in pain, I felt so bad for her.
"Are you the boyfriend?" he then asked me as I nodded my head.
"Are you coming with us?" he asked, I thought of it and I had to ask Y/n.
"Babe, want me with you or should I drive my car there?" I asked as I put my hand in hers.
"Drive... then we can get home from the hospital" she said as I nodded and kissed her before they took her to the ambulance.
They drove away, and I ran to my car and drove after them.

As we got to the hospital, they had already taken Y/n in, I walked to the disk.
"Y/n Y/L/n" I said as the lady told me her room, I ran to her room and she was now on a bed, they had given her something for her pain, I ran up to her and kissed her deeply.
"You okay?" I ask as she looked at me, she put her hand on my cheek and nodded.
"It still hurts, but they gave me something to take the top of the pain" she said as I nodded, I sat down on the chair beside her bed.
A doctor then came in.
"So miss Y/L/n, let's have a look at you" she said as she walked to her bed, she had Y/n lay on her side as she was now facing me, I held her hand tight and she squeezed it whenever it hurt.

"We need to do an MR scan of your back" The doctor said as Y/n just nodded, the doctor then left the room.
"I'm scared..." she whispered as I then kissed the back of her hand.

"It's okay, they will find out what happened, and then they are able to help you" I said as she nodded.
"Come closer..." she said as I smiled at her and pulled my chair all the way up to her bed, I put my head on her chest as she played with my hair.
"Thank you" she said as I looked at her.
"For what?" I asked as she smiled at me.

"For calling the paramedics" she said as I smiled at her and kissed her.
"Well, I was too afraid to lift you, so I had to" I said as she nodded.

We talked for a bit and had something to eat, before the doctors came to take her to the MR scan, I sadly couldn't come with and I had to wait for her to come back.

When Y/n finally came back I smiled and greeted her with a kiss.

Y/n's POV:

I got back and Matt kissed me, I held his hand, and I really wanted him to cuddle me right now... but the doctor told me he couldn't lay with me until they knew what happened.
The doctor came in and both Matt and I looked up.
"So, I got your results and you happen to have a herniated disc, so when you picked up that weight that's what popped" the doctor said.
"So what now?" I asked as I got nervous for the answer.
"Well, you must stay calm and you have to stay away from things that hurts you in that area, we will provide you with some pain meds until the worst is over, then you have to see a physical therapist to rebuild the muscles in the area" she said and it made me kind sad.
I loved working out and now I have to stay calm?...
"It can take from up till a few weeks, it depends on how careful you are" she said as I nodded, the doctor gave us everything we needed and told me that I could leave the next day.
Matt noticed my sad mood and he kissed my cheek.
"Hey, I'll be here the whole way through this alright? No work until your all better" he said as it made me smile a little.
"Alright... can you lay with me now?" I asked as he smiled and nodded, I moved for him to join me, he laid down and I placed my head on his shoulder, I yawned a little.
"You can sleep if you want, it's getting late" he said as I nodded, I then fell asleep a little while later.

I woke up the next day, Matt had his arm carefully around my waist and I smiled at him, I played with his hair, and I could hear him mumble.
"Morning" I said as he opened his eyes a little.
"Morning..." he mumbled as I giggled a little.
"This bed is so not comfy... ours is way better" he said as I laughed at him.
"True" I said as he smiled at me, the doctor then came in and told us that we were free to leave, Matt helped me put on my clothes, I sat on the bed and took a deep breath before standing up, Matt had his arm out ready for him to help me, I grabbed his arm as a sign that I did indeed need his help, he then put his arm around me and I put some of my weight on him.
"You alright?" he asked as I nodded at him.
"Yea... just sore..." I say as he nod at me, he helped me to our car and helped me in.

Matt drove us home, he helped me inside and helped me change into some sweats to stay comfy.

He was there for me the whole way, the painful days, the exercising that could be painful from time to time, but sooner than later I was back, I kept myself away from deadlifting for a long time, I scared to do it again.
To overcome my fear, Matt had called up a personal trainer who helped me gain my confidence back.

The End
