Lilly's POV

"Lillyyyyy" Dominic screamed.

"Ouc-" I buried my face in my knee, not able to handle the pain. My right ankle hurt very bad.

Dom was about to pick me up to take me to, I suppose, the medicine room when I told him I'd walk. I was trying to control tears from escaping my eyes, but it was getting harder by the second.

"Lilly I am not going to argue with you right now," he said picking me up.

Dom ran out the door with me and told Mr. Joseph (the guy at the desk) to call 911.

Still running to the room, he asked me "Lilly, is your foot feeling numb?"

"Yes," I said. My eyes were still closed and I had buried my face in his chest. I felt like a baby for doing that, but then my ankle was paining so badly, that was not my main concern.

We reached what I presumed was the medicine room and he put me on one of those bed things.

"Lilly, it will be okay," he said, "open your eyes".

"But it hurts," I said.

He extended his hand towards me and said, "Lilly take my hand and squeeze it as hard as you can, trust me this will help".

I squeezed his hand and although my pain didn't completely go away it felt a little better.

The tear I had been trying to hold back finally rolled down my cheek. 

Dominic wiped the tear off and said, "I've been through this, and I know it hurts. If crying helps, do it. The last time this happened to me I was bawling like a baby".

"Thank you so much, Dominic. This really helps" I said when I saw the emergency medical services arrive. They put me in an ambulance and took me to the nearest hospital.

When we got there the doctors wrapped my leg and put some fancy ointment on my ankle. They then did a dozen x-rays.

"Lilly Singh, I am sure you will be glad to know that you did not actually fracture your leg," the doctor said looking at the x-ray, "you have dislocated a bone, but trust me that is so much better than a fracture".

"Also, it was very helpful that the gentleman standing outside called 911, it could've been worse if the wound wasn't given immediate attention" he added.

"That is great! That means I can leave now, right?" I asked.

"Yes".

"Where can I find Dominic?" I asked.

"The gentleman? He is outside, waiting for you" he replied.

I walked out and gave Dominic a hug. 

"Thank you so so so much!" I said, "The doctor mentioned how it was very helpful that you brought me here ASAP".

"Don't say thank you, I had to get you here," he said.

"But what about the dance competition?" I asked.

"I was talking to the doctor as well, he said you should be able to walk without support in 2-3 weeks and your leg will be perfectly fine in 5 weeks," he said.

"I called an Uber to the dorms, let's go" he added.

All this while all I could think was that Dominic had been so supportive all along. He tried his best to comfort me, and he very well did.

I also realized I would have to be on crutches for the next few weeks, but that should be fine.

Dominic and I got into the Uber and gave the driver the directions to the dorms. 

"Bye Dominic," I said as the car reached the girls' dorms.

"Lilly, boys aren't allowed inside the rooms but I don't think there is a rule for boys in the hallways. You're on crutches and as a friend, I have every right to take you to your room" he said. 

"You are by far the sweetest guy I have seen. Come on now" I said, with a smile on my face.

Dominic and I walked to my dorm when I had an idea.

"Anoshinie isn't going to be here all night, you can come in and take a look, I think you'll like it," I said.

Dom's POV

"Woahhhhhhh" I gasped as soon as I walked into Lilly's room. 

All her walls were covered in sketches and paintings. There was not a square inch of wall showing. It was so covered, that if someone asked me what color Lilly's walls were, I wouldn't have a reply.

"DId you make these?" I asked, still astonished.

"Yeah, do you like them?"

"They are AMAZING! Why did you not go to an art school?"

"I love art but I like dance and theatre just a little more"

"I am speechless, this is so much art and all of it is so good," I said.

"I am so glad you like it!"

"Well, I should get moving now, it's already 11:00 and my first class tomorrow starts at 8:00"

"Oh yes theatre, see you there tomorrow!" she said as she led me to the door.

"Again, thank you so so much for everything you did today," she said, taking me into a hug.

She kissed my cheek as she pulled away and said goodnight and I left. As soon as I came out in the hallway and she closed the door, I just stood in the middle of the hallway, dazed. My stomach was all butterflies and I couldn't really think. When I finally came out of the trance I was in, I started walking towards my room.

When I got there, I unlocked the door and got inside. I was sitting on the bed when Matt came out of the bathroom and said, "Oooh looks like Dom's been getting it".

"What?" I asked, very confused.

"There's lipstick on your cheeks dude," Matt said, laughing.

"You see..." I started to say but as soon as Lilly's thoughts filled my mind, no words left my mouth. It was kinda funny a person can make you so happy that you forget everything else.
