Panic my friend

Earlier that morning before she woke up, Her family's butler had come to drop her belongings including her phone.

She put it on so she could text her best friend, Li.

She missed her and she was sure that Li was worried already.

It was a beautiful Monday morning and here she was seated in her pyjamas scrolling through her friends' social media to see what she'd missed.

She checked her call log and there were countless missed calls from Li. She couldn't call her now because obviously she would be in school but still she wanted to try her luck.

She started the call and after the third ring she was about to hang up when the other end of the call connected.

"Hello" The reciever said.

It was Li.

"Hey" Tamim said.

"I've been calling you, I was worried. How was it?"

"Hm..it was great. I had fun. My husband is nice and rich too. I'll send you some pictures as soon as I have them" Tamim said in a neutral tone.

"Hm" Li hmed.

This is weird. Li was never quiet. She always had a lot to say.

"You didn't go to school?"

"Yes, I'm a little sick" Li replied softly.

"You should take care of yourself, where are you? Are you with someone? If you're alone go visit a friend or something"

"You know I don't have any friends except you and even if I did they'll probably be in school" Li said.

Tamim felt her heart squeeze very hard as she struggled to breathe but as always she couldn't cry. She calmed herself down and asked,

"But are you somewhere safe?"

"Hm...I'm at the hospital"

"Hospital??" Tamim's heart jumped out of her body.

"Calm down it's nothing serious. I just fell from the stairs. I was startled by mom. It's just a dislocation so they'll add two or three metals to my bone or something. But I'm okay I promise" Li tried to assure her but she knew it was something really serious.

It wasn't a dislocation, it was a broken bone.

"You were brooding weren't you? Brooding about me, worrying about me, when you fell?" Tamim knew and Li knew that Tamim knew.

"I'll be fine. You too stay fine. I gotta go, I'm being called in for the surgery" Li said as Tamim replied with a hm and a bye before Li disconnected the call.

Tamim's head started spinning, she was scared for Li and guilty that she couldn't be there even though Li was there for her.

I hope she doesn't have to use crutches for the rest of her life or use a wheel chair.

Her panic attack sets in and she stood up shaking and trembling trying to get some water from her bathroom. She hit the vase close to her bedside not realizing it, she stepped on one of the broken piece.

She did not notice her bleeding as she walked into the bathroom with a bloody leg. She opened the tap and spilled some on her face but it wasn't enough she stepped into the shower and turned on the shower still fully clothed.

She was dripping wet with her clothes.

She stepped out of the bath until her eyes got dreary and she passed out.
