After the encounter with bruce i managed to have a pretty decent night's sleep considering the circumstances. I woke up to half a cup of cold coffee and my alarm clock going off. It was 7 in the morning which meant it was training day. I woke up rushed into the shower, brushing my teeth and washing my face, looking at myself in the mirror thinking ok you can do this, i walked out the shower with my towel around my body until everything went dark...
Painfully I woke up on the floor my side was killing, i panicked at what time it was it felt like hours had past but no one had come into my room to check on me, i sat up drowsily and reached for my phone, it was 7:55 and my training was at 8:00, shit!
I quickly bolted up the pain on my side still killing me, it felt as though a had a massive burn on it, i slipped on my very tight suit, brushed my hair and quickly set of to training merely sprinting out the door then looking back to see if i'd forgotten anything, until i collided into bruce nearly taking him to the ground.
"we need to stop meeting like this" Bruce responded jokingly holding me up. A stared blankly at his face for at least five seconds until bruce concerned "Nat are you alright?" his face now dropping.
Jumping back into reality i replied"Yeah i'm fine, just tired" i replied with a fake laugh. "If you say so" bruce answered knowing he shouldn't ask things more than once. I wanted to tell him i really did i just couldn't, not right now.
I eventually got to training to meet up with Steve and start fighting, the first half an hour i did alright, i fought back a lot, until in the corner of my eye i saw bruce walking by and watching me through the big glass panels, i then remembered me bumping into him, after i just passed out and i started getting weak, Steve didn't realise so he flipped me round knowing i always do that move around people's necks successfully but then i froze leaving me being thrown coldly on the rock hard floor.
I then winced in pain, as my spine ached all the way down, this had never happened to me before, i always make that move, then the pain shot right back up from my side as well as if i had just been hit in the face, and trust me i've been hit in the face countless times, but this was something else!
Steve rushed to me sympathetically stating "Nat are you ok, i'm so sorry, i thought you would make the move".
I winced "It's ok i just 'slipped', i'm fine really". I explained. "It didn't look like a fall to me" Bruce responded sorrowfully. I didn't even realise he came in.
"Well it was bruce, gosh why do you have to be everywhere i go" i snapped raising my voice. "I'm sorry i just thought you got hurt" bruce said sheepishly backing away. "well i didn't so you can go!" Regret in every word i said.
Steve stood there awkwardly, but then gave me a hand to sit up. It hurt like hell i wanted to scream, but i ended up biting my lip so hard it drew blood and teary eyes i quickly wiped my eyes and pretended that i didn't almost show emotion.
My vision started to fade, but i stayed awake, trying to block out the million questions Steve was saying like "are you sure you're ok?"and "I'm so sorry", to try and find the only man who really understood me in this place but i just shoved him away, i'm such an idiot.
I excused myself from training saying we should call it off for today when it was only 8:45 and it usually finished at 10 but my mind couldn't take it anymore, my bones couldn't take it anymore and the only person who really comforts me more than just me being on my own is bruce and i don't know why however he was gone.
I slowly and painfully walked back to my room, my lip bloody and my back aching and a burning feeling on my side, the best decision was to run a bath, a stripped off my tight suit letting me breath a little easier overthinking all the possibilities of why i passed out and how stupid for me to be arrogant to bruce like that.
I placed one foot into the bath to check it was the right temperature and it was, i got in, my muscles relaxing, my mind at ease, the one thing i actually enjoyed, don't get me wrong i do love training but i think i'm a bit off it at the moment.
It's been about a few minutes in the bath, until my side starts to burn up, (and don't worry it's not my heart), it's as if my last nightmare had come to life and i could still feel the burning of the fire on my skin, i try to get out the bath but i can barely move, my heart starts to beat really fast, as i feel like i'm stuck.
This could possibly be at least the 4th most painful moment in my life and that is saying something.

I'm actually being really consistent with this, and i feel like i'm really enjoying it.
