Road to Rio

Chapter 4: Trials and Injuries

**The video above is supposed Bailie's floor music**
Ragan's POV
"Hey babe wake up!" Bailie whispers and moves me around. "I don't wanna get up!" I yelled like I was 2. "Today's the Olympic trials! You don't wanna miss it Ragan!" Bailie whispers again. "Ok I'm getting up." I sigh. "Here's your leo ray." Bailie said handing me my leotard. I go into the bathroom and change. I walk out and grab my Capri GK leggings and my USA jacket. "Hey Bailie where's my orange bow?" I ask. "It's right here." She said giving it to me. Bailie's hair is easy to put up because she puts her hair in a bun. "Babe will you braid my hair for me?" I ask. "Yeah in a minute." She said. Bailie french braided the right side of my hair and put it into a curly high ponytail. "Dang Ragan your hair is getting long!" Bailie exclaimed. "Yeah I remember when we went to the 2016 Olympic trials my hair was so short!" I told her. "Ok I need to grab my bag and I'm ready to go!" She said. "Oh yeah I almost forgot my bag!" I said running to go grab it. "Ok I'm ready to go!" I said. "The next time we walk back into this room we will be very proud of ourselves!" Bailie said. "Yeah so don't walk back in!" I said. We arrived at the arena.
Bailie's POV
"Next on floor exercise from Texas Dreams is Bailie Key!" The announcer said. I salute and pose. I did my first few tumbling passes. On my final tumbling pass I tried to stick the landing but I fell and hurt my knee. My coach ran over and carried me to the trainer. He said it looked like I tore my ACL and I couldn't do gymnastics for at least 6-7 months. I was taken to the hospital and I was told it was a torn ACL. Right after that I saw Ragan hugging me. "Baby what happened!" She asked in shock. "I tore my ACL and I can't do gymnastics for at least 6-7 months and I need surgery soon." I told her. "When are you getting surgery?" Ragan asked. "July 20th." I replied. "Can I come with you?" She asked. "Yeah and are trials still going on? You should be there!" I yelled at her. "I asked if I could do floor and bars tomorrow and I did vault and beam today instead of tomorrow." Ragan told me. "What was your vault score?" I asked. "9.850!" She said excitedly. "What was your beam score?" I asked again. "8.950!" She said. Beam and vault are Ragan's worst events so she's pretty proud of herself. "Hey I'm gonna be here for a while so I can get a brace and crutches until I get surgery so you can go back to the hotel because my parents are coming." I told Ragan. "I'll stay in the hotel and change and relax for a while. I love you Bailie bye!" Ragan said giving me a small kiss on the lips.
