Flynn couldn't stop pacing back forth as if his wife was in labour, his plain white shirt was already stained with Emma's blood but he hadn't notice, he couldn't wait to hear what the doctor had to say.
Velma, Victoria, Luca and Elvis rushed into medical center to see Flynn already settled at the seat in the waiting area, they all approached him but didn't say anything as they took a seat two spaces away from him.
The doctor finally came out, Flynn rushed to her, Emma's friends were a little hesitant since they didn't know which doctor was with Emma.
"Does she have any family in school currently?" Dr. Rivers directed the question to Flynn but Velma replied for him.
"She does"
"Oh... You two are family, please come with me" Dr. Rivers said to Velma.
"Am her friend, but she does have a sister Lisa, I will go call her"
"I will come along" Victoria said, Velma nodded in agreement, Luca and Elvis decided to stay back.
"You were with during her fall right"
"Yes" Flynn responds.
"Come to my office please"
Flynn took his seat opposite Dr. Rivers as he waited to hear what she had to say. Dr. Rivers switched on a white lighted lamp beside her.
"I have good news and bad news, which would you like to hear first?"
"Any of them seems fine" Flynn said as Dr. Rivers nodded.
"The good news is we were able to cover up the big cut on her leg with caused that much outflow of blood from just a fall, her palms were scratched badly though" Dr. Rivers brought out an x-ray "For the bad news, we noticed her right foot seriously swelled up and we had to do a radiograph to find out the cause"
She put the x-ray scan on the lamp she had previously lit so it could be on display. "If you look closely you would see that her talus bone dislocated, which made her fall, you were at the stairs right"
"Yes, she slightly touched me then fell" Flynn simply explained.
"She might have been running on the stairs, it will take around six to twelve weeks for her foot to heal, right now she isn't allowed to do too much work, she would also have to wear a cast during this time and come for her check up Saturday and Sundays are excluded, a wheelchair will be provided for her courtesy of the school, she shall also be excluded from some lectures or activities and take sometime to rest" there was a knock on the door before the nurse opened it.
"Doctor the patient at room 1b sister is here"
"Okay let her in" Lisa walked in with fear as she was shaking uncontrollably. She took her seat next to Flynn who was a little calm. "Miss...."
"Lisa" she completed for the doctor.
"Your sister is stabilized now, we gave her sleeping pills so her pain can subside, when she wakes up you can all meet her as of now she needs the rest".
Lisa nodded. "Is there anything that I need to know"
"About that he would tell you, if need anything concerning your sister please do walk up to me and ask" Dr. Rivers smiled.
Immediately she woke up, her room was already filled with a lot of get well soon cards and balloons mostly from Lisa's friends who heard of the news.
No matter how many people came visiting that day Flynn never left her side, he stayed there like a hawk watching his prey. Emma had no strength to complain so she just let him be.
Weeks after weeks Flynn took it upon himself to take Emma for her check up and never once did she objected, Lisa did it once but stopped because Flynn made her, he wanted to do something for Emma since he was partly at fault.
The final day came after six long weeks for her cast to be taken off, by this time her foot no longer hurt and the swelling had already gone.
"You are very lucky girl to have such a wonderful boyfriend" Nurse Lily said to Emma while she was taking off the cast.
"Boyfriend?"
"Yes, he mad either clear you two have been dating for a long time now, he wouldn't even leave your side for anything"
"Nurse Lily you can stop gossiping with the patient" Dr. Rivers twisted Emma's foot to see if she felt anymore pain. "I will finalize everything then" she said seeing how much okay she was.
"You told the nurse you were my boyfriend, why?"
"Nothing really, she was really pestering me to say I was your boyfriend so I did" he lied.
"Well can you blame her, you refuse to leave my side" Emma said smiling at Flynn for the first time.
"I've missed that smile" he said more to himself but Emma heard it but didn't take it as anything.
"If you keep telling people we are dating, one might think it's true" she said.
"Do you think I mind?"
"Clearly you don't, but someone else will like Ivy"
"Ivy?"
"The others say you two are dating"
"So you believed them, look anything I don't say with my mouth then it's not true okay" he flashed a smile Emma's way. "Somehow I feel like you are already falling for me"
Emma scrunched up her nose. "You wish" she rolled the wheelchair to the window. "There is a match today, aren't you playing"
"I opted out for someone special, tomorrow is the pep rally, I heard your sister is the lead, want to come with me"
"I will but not with you, I can't stand your female fans watching me getting ready to rip the hair out of my scalp" she looked at Flynn's face to see his expression he didn't seem hurt at all. "The regionals, I heard our school has a streak for losing did we win this time"
"Well second place isn't exactly winning but it's an improvement, we have Dewey and Greg to thank for that"
"I haven't heard of them"
"Me neither, they caught my attention yesterday evening when Levi couldn't stop praising Dewey" Flynn sighed. "It seems like you have a lot of catching up to do but am not the right person to fill you in, but your friends can especially.... Velvet"
"Velvet? You mean Velma" Emma corrected.
"Yeah her, she talks way too much" Emma laughed which made Flynn smile. "Let's go watch the match, I promise to seat six feet away from you so my female fans don't eat you alive.
Emma agreed.
