“Yeah… It is true…” she said, sitting back next to me.
We both stayed there for some time and after that left the stadium.
“Where do you live? I can give you a lift.” Sally offered.
“Oh! Thank you, Sally. But I have some other work to attend too… So you may go…”I replied.
“Ah! Then okay… See you at uni, Sarah… Take Care…” she said, walking towards the car park.
“See you, Sally… Drive safely…” I said in reply.
Then I started walking towards the bus stop thinking of what should I do next. I didn’t know if it is okay to call Jake at that time. So I took my phone and dialed Luke’s number.
He answered his phone after a few rings. Thank God!!
“Hello…” Luke’s deep voice raised from the other side.
“Hello, Sorry for calling you now, Luke… But I want to know how he is?” I said trying my best to stay calm.
“We still don’t know for sure… We are taking him to the hospital. Our physician said we need to get some X-Rays before coming to any conclusion.”
“Is… Is he in a lot of pain?” I asked while tears filled in my eyes.
“He is in pain…” he said after a small pause.
“But don’t worry… We are with him. You may go home now. I will call you after we reach home.” he said.
“Okay… Thank you, Luke…” I replied.
Putting the phone back to my pocket, I sat on the metal bar at the bus stop. How long will it take to get him treated at the hospital? Would it be some serious injury? Would he be unable to walk for some time? Please God! don’t let it be that serious… I can’t bear seeing him in such a state… God! How much I love him? I have never felt this worried about anyone in my entire life… I really didn’t know, he means this much to me… Even thinking of him in pain breaks my heart…
I didn’t feel like going home… I wish I knew where is Jake’s house… Even though I went there once, I couldn’t remember the directions…
I decided to stay here until Luke calls me back…
I was waiting at the bus stop nervously, holding the phone in my hand. It was so hard to resist myself from calling Luke and check what is going on. But I didn’t want to disturb him when they are at the hospital. he is okay.
Everyone has already left after the match. There was no one left near the bus stop. It was pretty dark, and the street was empty too. If it was some other time, I would never stay here alone. But at this moment, I didn’t give a s**t about those. I just wanted to know if After a long and hard waiting time, my phone finally rang.
“Hello,” Luke’s voice raised from the other side.
“Where are you both? How is he? What the doctor said?” I was so impatient to know.
“Hey! Calm down first. We just came home. He is okay. Fortunately, no fractures, but he will not be able to walk for some time.”
“Oh!” I was relieved, knowing he got no fractures, but how can I bare when he can’t walk for some time.
“Hey! Don’t worry…” Luke said. I think he could sense the disappointment in me.
“Here, Jake wants to talk with you.” he then said.
“Sarah…” next moment, Jake’s deep voice raised from the other end.
“Is it hurt a lot?” I couldn’t control my tears as soon as I hear his voice. He is in deep pain. I don’t need him to turn it to words, I could just sense it.
“To be honest, it hurts. But I have suffered far worse injuries than this, princess. So, there is nothing to worry about.” he was trying to comfort me even in a situation like this.
“I can’t stand it when you are in pain…” I said between tears.
“Don’t cry, babe. It hurts me a lot more than this injury,” he said worriedly.
“I am not crying… I just can’t stop my tears…” I replied, trying to wipe out tears from my eyes.
“Listen… It is just a few weeks… After that, everything is going to be alright. We should be happy because it is not some serious injury.” he was trying his best to soothe me, while he was in extreme pain. My poor Jake… He loves me so much… Thinking about how much he loves me made me cry even harder.
“Sarah… Please don’t cry… Be a good girl, stop crying, and go wash your face. I will call you after that…”
“I can’t wash my face… I am not at home…” I said without thinking much. But it triggers him within an eye blink.
“What? Not at home… Where are you then? It is pretty late now…” he sounded so worried and angry too.
“I am still at the bus stop near the ground…” I said guiltily.
“What!!! At this hour? Are you insane? Is there anyone near?” he literally barked at me.
I nervously roamed my eyes. There was no one on the street. I felt a bit scared too.
“No… There is no one…”
“You make me going crazy, Sarah…” he yelled.
“Now, don’t go anywhere… Just wait a few minutes. I am sending Luke to get you.” Jake said.
“No!! I can go home…” I protested as usual.
“If you can go home, you should have done that by now. It is closer to my place. I am sending Luke now. I will cut this call and call you back from my phone, okay!” he said.
“Can I come to see you?” I asked, wishing from all my heart that he may say yes.
“Mmm… Okay…” he then cut the phone without even letting me say anything. Within just a minute, my phone rang. It was from Jake.
“He is coming to get you… Keep on talking with me until he comes,” he said.
I didn’t know what to say. I was so happy because I am going to see him. On the other hand, I was feeling guilty as hell. When he was in such a pain, I made him worried about me. I am such a careless person. “Sarah…” he said, as I didn’t reply.
“I am sorry… I made you worried.” I replied.
“You don’t have to apologize for making me worry. But you can’t act irresponsibly like this, Sarah…” he said sadly.
“I know that, Jake… I actually forgot about everything because I was so worried about you…”
