>By the time I felt recovered, I was on a restrainer behind an ambulance. My vision was clearer now, and I could see the unicorn and elf working with their medical equipment. Lucy squat on my left, looking worried and defeated, staring at the distance, as her head laid on my arm.
>“What happened?“ I moaned, still feeling slightly dazed as I put my hnd over my head.
>Lucy turned to me quick, eyes widened in surprise and sorrow, springing from where she sat just to come near me.
>“Anon, oh my god, I‘m so sorry! I didn‘t mean for any of this to happen.“ she said, holding my hand and nearly in tears.
>“Lucy, what happened, and what are you talking about?“ I asked.
>“Uh, well, how much do you remember?“
>“Well, up until the part where SOMEONE SHOT ME WITH A GODDAMN ARROW-!“ I yelled at the attraction‘s general direction until Lucy interrupted, tugging on my arm.
>“About that, Anon. I want to apologize on her behalf. That arrow was not supposed to hurt, you know? This was all an accident, and she‘s willing to make up for i-“
>“And she can‘t tell me this herself now because?“
>“I-I was getting to that. Janice is talking to the park manager right now. Things are getting pretty heated for her and she‘s in enough trouble as it is. I know you would rather hear an apology directly from her, but please. She’s a good friend of mine. I just want to soften the blow. Please, Anon. I’ll make it up to you. We’ll make it up to you. Just please go easy on her.“
>I groaned, stroking my patched cheek, still feeling a bit of the pain that was from the wounds. Of all things, this happened because Lucy wanted me to go with her to that ride. I never should’ve said yes, and I’m never going there again.
>”Fine.” I said.
>”Good thing that the glass shards were small and only skin deep, Anon. They said that you’ll be fit again as of Monday.”
>”Well that’s nice, but it’s still hurting.”
>”That’s what the painkillers are for.”
>But something was bugging me. I feel like I forgot someth-
>”MOM!” I blurted out. “Where’s my phone!?”
>”A-about that, Anon. The reason you got hurt was because of the glass FROM your phone. The arrow, err, kinda pierced through a bit, you see-.”
>”Look, I just need to call my mom. I’ll complain about my busted phone later. Do you have a phone I can borrow?”
>”Y-yes! Of course!” said Lucy, reaching to her bag and pulling it out. “Do with it as you wish. Think of it as a way for me to try paying you back.”
>”Er, thanks. But I just want to make 1 call.” I said, With her phone on my hand.
>"Don't worry about it. Take as much time as you need. I need to make a call as well anyway."
>I raised an eyebrow and turned to her "Wait, you need to call someone now? Then why-"
>"Relax, Anon. It's fine." She said, getting a phone from her bag again. "Besides, any smart businesswoman knows to always carry 2 phones. One for business, and one for her private life."
>"Oh," I said, looking back at her phone. "That's resourceful."
>"Anyway, Anon." She continued, looking down and turning from me and leaving the ambulance. "Go call your mum. I'm sure she's worried sick about you. The password is 0214."
>"Thanks, Lucy. But where are you going?"
>"I just have to give my family a quick call. Just to tell them I'm alright, you know. Besides. It'd be rude to eavesdrop, and even more so to talk loudly while you're on a call."
>"That's, that's generous of you. Thank you."
>"You're welcome, Anon. Anyway, I'll join you soon. They're taking you to the hospital anyway. You'll have plenty of time to recover there."
>"What? Why there?"
>"Standard procedure sir." Said one of the medics behind me. "Just for some checkups. Nothing more."
>"Oh, and Anon," said Lucy, turning to me one more time. "I just wanted to say that, I'm sorry."
>"It's fine. Thanks for letting me have your phone in the meanwhile."
>"Think none of it, love." She said with a fake smile before disappearing.
>I sighed. How did my day end up like this. Back of an ambulance, cheek wound, and a broken phone.
>"You're really lucky to have a girlfriend like that, always ready to help you in any way she can." Said the unicorn
>"She's my boss, not my girlfriend. We're just hanging as friends at most."
>"Sure." She chuckled and closed the ambulance door.
>I couldn't help but groan as the ambulance drove as I didn't want to argue anymore. I just unlocked Lucy's phone and dialled my mom's number.
