Complicated

Chapter 16- Six Weeks

Myles' pov
My heart is pounding as we wait for the doctors to come out of Briar's room. What if she isn't ok? How did I not notice that she was hurt on stage? I wish she just whispered that she was hurt to me on stage. I could've helped her! Well I didn't help her. Now we're all here waiting to see if she is ok.

Suddenly the doctors walk out of Briar's room. My heart skips a beat as they look at us with disappointed faces.
"Well?" I ask.
"Well she has a broken ankle that she can't dance on for six weeks." The doctor says and I just look at the ground in sadness.
She can't dance for six weeks? Six weeks! Why can't there be a way to travel back in time so that I can stop her from hurting herself. Why did this have to happen?

"So who wants to see her first?" My mum asks.
"I will." I say and stand up.
"Ok, just remember that she'll be extremely upset so break the news to her gently." Tamara says and puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Ok." I say and walk into Briar's room.

She looks straight at me with tears in her eyes.
"Please don't cry!" I say and run to hug her.
"I've ruined everything!" She says.
"What? No you haven't!" I say back and calmly rub her back.
"Yes I have! If I hadn't broken my ankle, then I wouldn't be off dance for six weeks!" She yells.
I guess the doctors already told her.
"I know it's hard Bri, but you've got to stay strong." I say.
"How? Dancing is my life Myles. My life." She says and looks into my eyes.
"Yeah but in six weeks time, you'll have an even stronger ankle." I say.
"Six weeks though." She says.
"I know it's a long time but you'll get through it." I say and kiss her forehead.
"You think?" She asks.
"I know you will." I say.
"Myles will you stay with me?" She asks.
"Of course!" I say and lye next to her on the hospital bed.
Then I put my arm around her and she rests her head on my shoulder.
