Five

Before long, we were finished in the cafe.

Ryan paid for our food and drink before we make our exit.

I stood up from the chair and began walking in the direction of what I assumed to be the counter. Luckily, I was able to pick out Ryan's voice from the others which made it a little easier for me to get to him.

Though what I didn't know until it was too late was a chair had been left pulled out and not tucked back under the table.

I quickly lost my balance as I then knew that my foot had gotten caught around one of the legs on the chair.

I knew I was falling and quickly tried to stop or slow down my fall but I had no such luck. As soon as I hit the floor pain spread through my body like a shockwave, landing on and crushing my left arm under my weight from the force of the fall and the impact of it, only then I did I realise a sharp scream had left my lips, and only then did I know something was wrong.

The sound of a gasp and rushing footsteps came towards me I knew It was Ryan.

"Hey, I'm here. I'm here Kalani it's alright, it's okay calm down for me take a deep breath nice and steady.*

Hearing his calm voice and soothing words helped me calm down a little knowing he was there but I couldn't ignore the pain.

"Alright Kalani, I'm going to help you up okay? I'm sorry if I cause you any more pain."

I nodded to let him know that I understood, not being able to talk right at that very moment as the pain was slowly becoming unbearable.

I soon felt Ryan's gentle hold on me as he prepared to help me up and get me off of the floor.

"I'm going to count to three and I'm going to get you up okay?"

"Okay..."

As that word had left my lips, I hated how weak I sounded but I knew it was down to the amount of pain I was feeling.

I then braced myself as Ryan began counting to three ready for what would happen next. As he reached three he began to support me and lift me off of the floor being gentle with my injured arm, and once I was back up on my feet I instantly felt glad to be no longer on the floor.

"Are you alright? how bad is your arm where does it hurt."

I knew it was bad, I just wasn't sure how bad.

"I'm not sure, it hurts quite a lot. I think it might be sprained possibly even broken."

"Okay, well I think it's best I take you to the hospital just to have it checked out to make sure."

As soon as he said the word hospital, I shivered at the thought of going to the hospital but I knew there was no other way.

Luckily the hospital was only a short distance away from where we were. Stepping outside Ryan helped me get into his car before he opened up the back doors and helped Jax jump in the back.

Now only time would tell what damage I had done to my arm.

Three hours later I had seen my doctor had a check-up, an x-ray and now my arm was being put in a cast as it was confirmed my arm was very much broken. Though as I sat with my thoughts, I couldn't help but feel stupid, more so upset with myself for getting into an accident in the first place but for wasting Ryan's time.

I knew as of right now, he could be doing something more worth his time than being stuck with me for the last three hours. Though what happened next I didn't expect, I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realise until a few moments later that Ryan was holding my hand in his and although I couldn't see him I knew that he was looking at me with a concerned look on his face.

Kalani? Are you okay, you look lost."

With a small sigh, I began to explain everything I was thinking and feel. Only then did I realise how wrong my thoughts were.

"No, no you're not wasting my time it's alright you are my friend and I want to be here for you. no matter whatever it is I'll always be here for you now and always whenever you need me for anything."
