While Momsie and Popsical ran to get a doctor, I whispered, "Elphie? What's wrong?"
She shook her head and said, "My side hurts, Glinny."
I nodded and I whispered, "Is it from what happened a couple days ago?"
She shakily nodded and I whispered, "Please let them hurry."
Elphaba's POV
I looked at Galinda, who was really scared—not for herself, but for me. She was worried about me. I tried to smile at her and show her I was fine, but unfortunately, she could see through me and saw that I was really hurting.
"Elphie," she whimpered. "Just hang on—the doctor will be here soon."
I smiled and said, "Glinny, please calm down—I'll be fine."
She shook her head, and continued to worry. Finally, I snapped, "Galinda—I'm giving you a choice. Either calm down and I'll let you stay or continue worrying and I'll kick you out. It's your choice, Galinda."
Galinda's POV
I stared at my sister, shocked. She'd just threatened me. Elphaba had just threatened me. I shakily nodded and said, "OK, I'll go outside and wait for them by the door."
Elphaba nodded, scowling at one of the monitors.
I left the room and sat outside the room, and soon saw Momsie, Popsical, and the doctor. I jumped to my feet and said, "Elphaba's scowling at one of the monitors. I don't know why—she won't tell me."
Momsie and Popsical looked at each other and then Momsie said, "Wait for Elphaba to tell you what happened, Princess."
I looked confused and slumped on the floor.
Then I said, "Momsie, can you tell Elphie I went back to the room and that I'm waiting for her there?"
Momsie nodded and told Elphaba that I'd gone back to the room.
Elphaba's POV
"Elphaba, honey, I need to tell you something," Momsie said.
"What is it, Mother? Is Galinda OK?" I asked.
Momsie nodded and said, "Galinda went back to the dorm room. She's waiting for you there. She wants to know what happened and, as your sister, she has the right to know."
I nodded and said, "I'll tell her tonight."
Galinda's POV
Seven long hours later, Elphaba was allowed to return to our dorm room—I was still confused by what happened earlier.
