[Barkada Series] the B-boy's Ballerina

8 *Replacement

Chapter 8

I've been pacing back and forth outside the emergency room. Hindi pa rin ako mapakali dahil sa nangyari. I can't take off my mind the look on Phoebe's face during the accident. God, she was hurt. Really hurt. At alam kong maaaring may masamang balita. I stopped when a hand tapped my shoulder. I look around and Vin handed me a juice in can. Kasama ko sila simula pagdating namin dito sa hospital para dalhin si Phoeb. Sumunod lang samin sina Chantal, Eira, Cailey and Razel.

"She will be fine. Relax yourself." He muttered and led me to a chair.

I sat down. Napayuko ako, both hands on my forehead. I breathe in deeply. I just can't relax. Paano kung may masamang nangyari sa kanya? What if she got injured? She'll be depressed most especially, hurt.

The door opened and I immediately stood up. "Doc, kumusta po siya? Is she alright? May masama po bang nangyari?" sunod-sunod na tanong ko dito.

Inayos nito ang eyeglasses nito. "Calm down, hijo. Sino ba ang pamilya ng pasyente?"

I was about to speak when Arjhun cut me off. "We're her bestfriends, and family friends as well. Her parents are on their way here. How is she?"

"He is fine now, no need to worry. We had her sedated for a while." pahayag nito.

"Sedated? Why did you have her sedated?" mataas na tonong tanong ko.

"Tol, kalma lang muna." ani ni Zeke.

"We had to sedate her because she's been crying real hard when she woke up. I guess the pain was unbearable so we gave her pain reliever and sedated her to calm down. I'm sorry to say this but, *sigh* Her ankle is badly injured. We had to cement it for crack bones. She has to avoid using her left foot too much."

Nagpanting ang tenga ko. "What do you mean? That she can't dance anymore?" This can't be happening!

"Yes, she has to stop for six months at most until her foot is fully healed."

Para akong nanghina sa sinabi nito. Her competition.. "This can't be happening! She has a competition next month! It matters to her so much! Please, gawin niyo ang lahat para mapagaling siya ng mabilis."

Umiling-iling ang doktor. "I'm sorry hijo. But that's as far as what we can do. You can come inside the room now. Excuse me, I have to go." saka niya kami iniwan doon.

"Tol.." tawag ni Micco.

I raised my hand to stop him. Tinalikuran ko sila. "I..I'm fine. I'll go get some air. Pakibantayan na muna siya until dumating sina Tita." I didn't wait for their response and started to walk outside.

Phoebe's P.O.V

The moment I opened my eyes on I knew something wasn't right. I saw white walls with beige linings. I'm at the hospital.

"Anak?" I looked at my side as she called me. "How are you feeling?" tanong ni Mom nang lumapit ito sakin.

"I'm... fine." I looked at my foot. Kaya pala mabigat kasi nakasemento ito. My tears started to pour out. Mom immediately hugged me.

"Shhh.. Calm down.. Shhhh." she said trying to calm me.

I continued to sob. "Mom.. Ang paa ko.."

"Shhhh... It'll be alright. You just have to recovery for six months and it'll be okay again."

Umiling ako. "What about my competition? I can't back out now! I've worked hard for that spot." umiiyak na sabi ko.
