A/N: Hey guys! I really hope you like this chapter.

First of all, I don't know much about fractures since I've never had one, my dad had a lot of fractures when he was younger due to a medical condition with which he was born but he never had another fracture again before passing away and one of my aunts had an ankle fracture a few years ago but since I didn't pay attention back then, I'm sorry if the information isn't correct.

Sorry for any typos. Don't forget to like, follow and review.

Injured (Part 1)

Third person's POV

Ezra ran down the stairs of the Business School building as worry settled in his stomach, outside Kanan and Zeb were waiting for him to take him to Grady Memorial Hospital. The young man was in class when he received a text from Hera saying Sabine had suffered an injury in the third inning of the softball game and she had also told him that they were on their way to the hospital, she had also told Kanan what had happened and that he and Zeb would take Ezra to the hospital so when Kanan texted Ezra they were waiting for him outside, he picked up his things and left the class room while being careful the teacher didn't catch him sneaking out from the classroom.

Ezra exited the building and spotted Zeb's car, he got in and Zeb drove towards the hospital.

"Has Hera call you?" A worried Ezra asked.

"Yeah, she told me they were already at the hospital and that they were checking Sabine, the paramedic said something about a broken leg or something like that." Kanan answered.

Ezra's blood drained from his face and buried it in his hands.

"Don't worry, kid." Zeb said. "She's going to be okay."

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Grady Hospital; Ezra got off from the car and headed to one of the main entrances of the hospital while Kanan and Zeb parked the car.

He walked to the front desk to ask information about Sabine when he spotted Hera.

"Hera." He said.

"Ezra." She said and stood up.

"Hera, w-where's Sabine?" He asked worried.

"They took her to X-ray's to see how bad her injury is." She answered.

"How bad is it?" He asked.

Hera sighed. "It's bad, Ezra. She was crying in pain while we were on our way here in the ambulance." She said.

Ezra's eyes widen in shock, he knew Sabine rarely cried when she got hurt but if Hera had said Sabine was crying, then, it meant it was something bad, really bad. He sighed and sat down on the bench, Hera sat next to him and placed a hand on his back.

A couple of minutes later, a nurse came and told Hera that Sabine was back at the examination room if they wanted to see her, Hera thanked her and took Ezra to see Sabine.

Sabine sighed and winced in pain, she leaned against the pillow and tried to relax until the doctor was back with her X-ray's.

"'Bine?" Hera asked and drew the curtain. "Someone wants to see you." She said and moved aside revealing Ezra.

"Ez." The young artist said with a smile on her face.

He sighed in relief and walked to the side of the stretcher, then, he wrapped his arms around her carefully.

"I was so worried." He said into her ear.

She buried her face in his shoulder and inhaled his scent. "Me too."

Hera just smiled at the scene in front of her. Ezra pulled back and kissed her softly on the forehead.

"What did the doctor tell you?" He asked.

"Not much." She answered. "I'm just waiting for her to come back with my X-ray's."

Ezra nodded and sat down on a chair next to the stretcher while Hera stood on the other side of the stretcher. Five minutes later, a woman in her mid-forties walked into the examination room holding Sabine's X-ray's.

"Well, Miss Wren. I have good news and bad news." The doctor said and looked at the young woman and realized there were another person with them. "Excuse me, who are you?" She asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Ezra Bridger, Sabine's boyfriend." Ezra answered and shook hands with the doctor.

"Well, as I was saying Miss Wren. I have good news and bad news." The doctor said.

"The bad news are that you have a bimalleolar fracture, this means that two of the three parts of your ankle are broken. Also, part of your fibula is broken and this makes your ankle to be unstable, that explains why you couldn't stand." The doctor answered. "In cases like this, we highly recommend surgery."

"And what are the good news?" Sabine asked.

"Your rehabilitation won't be too long, in a couple of months you'll be back to your daily activities, however, if you plan to practice any sports, I recommend wearing an ankle brace." The doctor answered.

Sabine thought about what the doctor had told her and sighed knowing there wasn't any other option. "How fast my surgery would be scheduled?" She asked.

"For tomorrow morning or afternoon." The doctor answered.

"Okay." Sabine said. "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome. I'll schedule your surgery as soon as possible." The doctor said and wrote something down on her pad. "We will assign you a room in the meantime and a nurse will come in a few minutes to take you to your room." She said.

"Thank you, doctor." The three young adults said.

The doctor nodded and left them alone.

"I'll go find Kanan and Zeb and tell them what has happened." Hera said and placed a hand on Sabine's shoulder. "Everything will be okay." She said.

"Thanks." Sabine said with a small smile on her face.

The older woman smiled and left, Ezra sighed and placed his hand on top of Sabine's. "You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm just…nervous. That's all." The young woman said.

"Don't worry, everything will be okay." He said and kissed her hand.

Ezra's POV

A couple of minutes later, a nurse came and took Sabine to her room. I followed them by walking beside the stretcher; once Sabine was settled in her room, I sent a message to Hera telling her the room number in which Sabine was.

"Thanks." I said to the nurse, she nodded and left the room.

I looked around the room that had been assigned to Sabine, it was a private hospital room and it had a small living room but what I liked the most was the incredible view it had from Atlanta's skyline.

We heard a knocked on the door and turned my head to the door.

"Hey guys." I said smiling when I saw our friends standing at the doorway of the room. "Come in." I said.

Hera, Kanan and Zeb walked into the room and stood in front of the hospital bed. "Hey Sabine, how are you?" Kanan asked.

"I've had better days." My girlfriend answered.

"Hera told us what happened, she said you broke your ankle." Kanan said.

"Yeah, I did." She said.

"So are they going to operate you?" Zeb asked.

"Yes, the doctor also said part of my fibula is broken, that's why I need to go under surgery." Sabine said.

"When is your surgery?" Kanan asked.

"They haven't told me yet." My girlfriend answered.

"And how many months will you be in rehabilitation?" Zeb asked.

"I still don't know, the doctor told me it takes between two and four months to return to daily activities." She answered.

"Well, I'm sure you'll be back in the softball team in a couple months as good as new." Zeb answered.

Sabine smiled but I could tell it was a forced smile, something was bothering her and I really wanted to know what was bothering her.

"We will come to see you after the surgery, okay?" Kanan said.

"Sure." Sabine answered.

"I'm going to stay with you but I need to go the apartment for some things." I said. "Do you need anything?" I asked Sabine.

"No but can you call my parents and tell them what happened?" Sabine said.

"Sure." I answered.

"Do you want a ride?" Zeb asked.

"Sure, thanks." I said. "I'll be back in thirty minutes, okay?"

"Okay." Sabine answered.

I smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

"Thanks for the ride, Zeb." I said as I got off from the car.

"You're welcome, kid." Zeb answered.

"Call us when Sabine gets out of surgery." Hera said.

"I will." I answered.

"See ya, Ezra." Kanan said.

"Bye guys." I said and walked into the apartment building.

Once I had spare blankets and spare clothes – both for Sabine and me – in a duffle bag, I dialed Alrich's number.

"Alrich Wren." The voice of Sabine's father answered.

"Hey! Uh...I mean...Good afternoon, sir." I said and I almost wished I could smack myself for answering like that.

"Ezra, it's nice to hear from you. How are you, son?" Alrich said, not caring about my greetings a few moments ago.

"Uh, I'm fine, sir. Thank you." I answered.

"And how is Sabine?" Alrich asked.

I took a deep breath trying to choose the right words to tell Alrich that his daughter was at the hospital. "She's…she's at the hospital."

"What!?" Alrich asked worried. "Is she okay?"

"She's going to be." I answered. "She got hurt in a softball game." I said.

"How bad is it?" The older man asked.

I sighed. "She broke her ankle and she will need to go under surgery." I said.

Alrich sighed. "In which hospital is she?" He asked after a few minutes.

"She's in Grady Memorial Hospital." I answered.

"Alright. Listen, Ezra; I'm in New York at the moment but I'll be there as soon as I can and don't worry about Ursa or Tristan. I'll talk with them and tell them what happened." The older man said.

"Okay, sir." I answered.

"I'll see you in a couple of hours, Ezra."

"Yes, sir."

"And take care of my daughter, please." Alrich said.

"I will, sir. Don't worry about anything, she's in good hands." I said and ended the call, then, I took the duffle bag, my car keys and left the apartment.

When I returned to the hospital it was already night and the visitors who weren't allowed to stay with the patients were leaving.

I arrived to Sabine's room, she was watching TV when she noticed me standing at the doorway of the room.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey." I said smiling. I put the duffle bag on the couch and walked closer to the bed.

"Did you talk with my dad?" Sabine asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, he's in New York but he told me he would be here as soon as he can and he also told me he would talk with your mother and your brother." I said.

"Thanks, Ez." She said.

I kissed her cheek. "You're welcome." I said, then, I took a deep breath.

"'Bine, are you sure you are okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, Why?" She said.

I sat on the chair next to the bed and took her hand in mine. "You know you can tell me everything, right?" I said.

She just nodded.

"Tell me, what's bothering you?" I asked.

Sabine took a deep breath and looked at me. "I'm just…a little worried, that's all." She said.

"About what?" I asked.

She sighed. "I'm worried I won't be able to play softball anymore." She answered.

"Hey, don't worry, okay? Everything will be okay." I said. "When I had the accident with the ATV and I was on my way to the hospital in the ambulance, I thought I had broken my leg and I was scared that it would take months before I could back to play basketball but I always tried to be optimistic and everything went fine."

She smiled softly but I knew she wasn't really convinced.

"Hey, I know a sprained ankle is very different than a broken ankle but I'm going to be with you all the way, just like you were there for me." I said.

She smiled. "I know, thank you Ez." She said.

An hour later, the doctor walked into Sabine's room and told us the surgery was scheduled for noon tomorrow, we thanked her and she left.

"Are you tired?" I asked when I heard Sabine yawning.

"Yes, I'm am." She said. "Today was a stressful day."

"Yeah." I said, then, I felt my phone vibrating. I took it out and saw it was a message from Sabine's father.

"What is it?" Sabine asked.

"Your father sent me a message." I answered.

"What does it say?" She asked.

"It says he found a direct flight from New York to Atlanta at 5:45 a.m. for tomorrow." I said. "And that he will be here to see you before your surgery."

"That's good. It says something about my mother and my brother?" She asked.

"Yes. It seems your brother couldn't find an early flight. The earliest flight they found is at 10:15 a.m." I said.

Sabine sighed. "Well, at least I'm going to see my dad before the surgery." She said.

I smiled and squeezed her hand. "Don't worry, okay?" I said.

She smiled in return and yawned again. "Sorry." She said.

"It's okay. I think you should rest, you have a long day tomorrow." I said.

"Yeah." She said and tried to get comfortable in the medical bed.

I took out one of the spare blankets out from the duffle bag and draped it over her while being careful with her immobilized right leg.

"Thank you, Ez." She said.

I smiled and kissed her forehead. "You're welcome." I said, then, I prepared the small couch where I was going to stay.

Once it was ready, I turned off the TV and walked to the bed. "Try to rest, okay?" I said.

"Okay." She answered. "Thanks for staying." She said.

"I told you I was going to stay with you until you were back at the apartment." I said. "Besides, you stayed with me when I had the accident a couple of months ago."

She smirked. "Then, I hope you are willing to do everything I ask." She said.

I chuckled. "Of course, milady." I said, then, I gave her a chaste kiss on the lips. "Goodnight, babe."

"Goodnight, Ez. I love you." She said with a soft smile on her face.

"Love you too." I said, then, I turned off the lights and laid down on the couch.
