H is for Hard Day:
It had started off well. She was busy rehearsing for the school play. She was the lead, finally, and Vega was the understudy. Rehearsal was going well until Jade had to do a big scene where she stood on a table, screaming at Cat's character about the mess she had made. Jade thought the scene was a little over-dramatic, but she threw herself into it. However, the table on that day was a bit to close to the edge of the stage. Jade turned to say a line and accidentally fell off the table and onto the floor. It was a 5 foot drop. She landed on her wrist and heard a snap. Her head also hit the floor. Everyone was around her in seconds. Her head was hurting so bad it was hard to concentrate. Beck pushed his way to the front of the crowd and knelt down next to her.
"Shhh," he said as she started to whimper, "I gotcha. I'll take you to the hospital and get you fixed up."
She moved toward him, wincing as her wrist moved uncomfortably. He picked her up and ordered everyone to move. Andre offered to drive so Beck could sit in the back with Jade. They arrived at the hospital and Jade's head was still bleeding. They walked in and signed in. The nurse took one look at Jade's head and took them back to a room. They checked her vitals and got a background on her. The nurse said someone would be in a minute to examine her head. Jade leaned against Beck. He held her tight and rubbed her back softly. The doctor came in and started the exam.
"How did this happen?" the doctor asked.
"I fell off a table while rehearsing for a play and hit my head and arm on the floor," she explained.
He nodded, "Well, Miss West, it looks like you have a mild concussion as well as a pretty bad laceration. Your wrist is going to need to be x-rayed after I stitch your head."
She nodded and within ten minutes, her head was stitched back up. A nurse came and took her to x-ray. She was back twenty minutes later.
"The doctor will be in soon," the nurse said before leaving. Jade leaned on Beck and shut her eyes. Her head hurt, her wrist was killing her, and she was exhausted.
"I want to go home," she whispered to him.
"I know," he said, "We can soon."
The doctor came in five minutes later. "It looks like a clean brake," he said, "however; it is extremely swollen so we can't cast it yet. I'm going to wrap it in these ace bandages first and put it in a sling. Then on Friday, come back, and we will decide if the swelling is down enough to cast it."
"But I have a show Friday," she said, suddenly very aware of what was going on.
"Sorry," he said, "but with your head I don't think you should be going on stage with those bright lights and craziness that comes with performing." Tears welled up in Jade's eyes as she nodded before curling her head into Beck's shoulder. The doctor gave Beck a few instructions while she stayed hidden in his shoulder. Finally the doctor finished and Beck picked her up and carried her out to the waiting room where Andre was waiting for them.
"So what happened?" Andre asked as soon as he saw them.
"Concussion, broken wrist, and stitches," Beck said as they paid and walked out. After that she fell asleep until he got her out of the car and carried her into his RV.
"Hey," he said softly.
"Hey," she said weakly.
"Want some dinner?" She nodded. He put her on his bed and went into his small kitchen to make her favorite dinner, pesto pasta. He was almost done when she walked up behind him. He grabbed her into a hug as she allowed tears to fall from her eyes.
"It's not fair," she sobbed, "the one time since Vega has started at HA I get cast as the lead and she still gets to play the part. My dad was even going to come see it. It... it…it's just not fair."
"I know," he said, wrapping his arms around her gently, "I know." She looked at him through tears and thought, "Even on a hard day, I have the best boyfriend ever."
Hope you liked it. Please give me feedback. It makes me so happy.
