The day at the Rock was finally finished. Payson was in the locker room gathering her items since she was the only one left. Sasha and Coach MacIntyre drilled her on her vault for the extra hour she stayed. Sasha tiptoed around the white elephant in the room because he told Summer he deal with it tomorrow. He just wanted to get out and go check up on Lauren. Sasha finished signing a form before adding it to his finish pile of paperwork. Mac was doing pull ups on the high bar as he waited for Sasha to close up. Payson exited the locker room with her gym bag slung over her shoulder and dressed in streets. Sasha's eyes followed her every movement as she rushed out of the gym. When he had went outside after she returned from ballet, her car was no longer in the parking lot. He understood why now because Payson was climbing into her car where a boy sat in the driver's seat. He looked familiar, but Belov could not place his tongue on the boy's name or where he was from. Sasha shook his head and gathered his belongings. "Ready to go Mac?" he shouted.
Lauren sat up in her bed as she heard the door open. A grin from ear to ear appeared when she saw it was her two coaches. "Hey guys!" she greeted as she pushed her stray hairs out of the front of her face. Lauren was hooked up to a heart monitor and a bunch of IVs. She seemed completely calm for just passing out earlier that day. Sasha examined her body position while Mac left the room to talk with Lauren's doctor. "My doctor says I will be released tomorrow if things continue to look promising. I have to take the rest of the week of from training, but I am allowed to be at the gym watching and doing basic activity that will not strain my heart. They think it is a freak accident, but I have to be on a monitor when training from now till the Olympics." she explained while her eyes focus on her cuticles. Sasha nodded at his cheerful gymnast. The girl had caused him trouble from day one, and she almost got him fired, but she was a force to be reckoned with. Sasha took a seat in a chair next to her bed. He had been through visiting Payson, Kaylie, and even Emily once while they were in the hospital for various reasons. Payson for her back, Kaylie for her anorexia, and Emily when she came back to Boulder to have her baby boy.
Mac reentered the room with the doctor at his heels. The two were discussing things and using a lot of big medical terms that neither Sasha or Lauren understood. The former Romanian gymnast scratched his head as he looked for Mac to clear things up for him. "How are you feeling, Lauren?" Coach Mac asked after breaking his conversation with Dr. Thomas. He glanced towards the machine that monitored her heart. Lauren was no longer in leo, but now she was dressed in a paper hospital gown. She seemed to be in a better state than at practice, and she was confined to the hospital bed. Lauren glanced at Doctor Thomas before answering. "I am feeling better. I was so confused when I woke up in the hospital and not at the Rock. I wanted to get back to training, but they have me restricted until next week." Lauren answered with a subtle nod towards Dr. Thomas. Mac nodded. He hated that she couldn't train, but he understood it was the best option for her body. "I am sure Doctor Thomas will make you all better. We just have to be more cautious from now on." Mac reiterated. His wife would be joining him and Sasha when Lauren started training again. His wife would be able to use the wireless monitor to watch Lauren's heart patterns and warn them of spiking.
"I love that you guys came to visit, but I am starting to feel drowsy from my medications. If you don't mind, I think I am going to rest." Lauren admitted. The two coaches bid their goodbyes and well wishes before leaving the hospital. Coach Mac was headed to where he and his wife where staying while Sasha was off to the bar. He was in need of a strong drink to clear his head.
