Loved You Too Much

Great Fall

That day was one of the most precious day in school. I was happy the whole time. Just before recess, I called my mum.

"Hey mum, you don't have to pick me up today."

"Why sweetie? You going to your friend's house or anything?"

"Nope.. I'm walking back home."

"Alone?"

"With Kelvin mum. Don't worry!"

"Ok then."

As I ended the call, something came into my mind. I have Science today. Wait? I haven't hand in my Science assignment yet! And today's the deadline! I ran to my class and searched my bag. Everyone was looking at me because I was so freaked out nervous.

"Are you ok Niya? Asked Zetty.

"Not exactly. I haven't complete my Science assignment."

Zetty sighed.

"You always do last minute work. Copy mine. Fast!" She said as she handed her complete assignment.

"Thank you thank you thank you soooo much!" I said.

"You're welcome. She said shaking her head.

I copied her's in hurry. But I changed it a little. After copying, I gave her back her assignment.

"Hand it in for me." She said.

"What's the magic word??"

"Please... "

"Hahahahah ok."

I walked towards the stairs. The teacher's restroom was at the ground floor you see. I took a few steps on the stairs as I saw Kelvin finishing class and walking by. He saw me and stopped. Just as I was about to say something, I felt a hard push on my back! I fell down from the stairs! I landed hard on the floor. Tears flowing uncontrollably and wetting my cheeks. The pain was unbearable. My ankle felt like it just broke. Kelvin rushed to me and held me.

"Are you okay??" His eyes filled with concern

"No. I can't feel my legs!" I said while crying.

He got up.

"Try to get up on your own."

I tried moving my ankle but it just made it worse. The pain increased 100 times more.

"I can't!"

"I'll have to carry you."

As all this drama was going on, Nana walked pass us.

"What happened?! Are you ok babe?"

"She fell from the stairs.. "

Nana's eyes widened. I saw her running up the stairs. Meanwhile, Kelvin carried me to the infirmary. The nurse there was shocked to look at my condition.

"What happened?"

"I think I sprained my ankle!"

"Lay her down on the bed over there. I'll be back with some medicine."

Kelvin laid me on the bed. He touched my swollen ankle. I squealed in pain. He didn't even apply pressure but it felt like he just punched my swallon ankle. My ankle looked like a balloon. The nurse rushed over with some hot water and medicine. She dipped the cotton cloth into the steaming water, twisted it and placed it on my ankle. The pain was too much! I squeezed Kelvin's hand in pain.

"You take some rest, we'll rotate your ankle later. Do take note that it might hurt a bit." Said the nurse.

"Ok (smile)"
