Narrative:

Upon closing the doors flight attendant B tells [me] that they banged on the L2 door to tell him to call crew scheduling. He calls and crew scheduling tells him they want the other flight attendant. I am at the flight deck door ready to close [it] and the captain tells me to call crew scheduling; and now flight attendant B is behind me saying to call crew scheduling. I say what for I am not on reserve. I also say; how can I do that we are ready to leave the main cabin door is closed. The captain states it is ok we are now on maintenance. I changed positions with B and retrieve my phone and turn it on even though the entire cabin has their phones off. Crew scheduling stated there had been a change to my scheduling. I tell them that I am not on reserve. They say they know that. I tell them I won't do it. We continue to talk and then I ask for the supervisor of crew scheduling. The supervisor tells me tells me there is no one else; I am within duty regulations at that I need to do this. I tell her we are on maintenance and to get a reserve out there as we are now waiting for maintenance to arrive and take the flight. I request to speak to a duty officer. The duty officer is unable to speak with me as now we are leaving. I listen to the duty officer message after landing asking me please; to save the flight for these people. There is a huge lack of communication. Upon arrival there is an injured flight attendant in a wheelchair. Against my own better judgment I do the flight. We landed after midnight. During the flight I truly realize that I am not safe to do the flight. I am exhausted over the turbulence and sleep deprivation. Flight attendant B who was in the previous turbulence that downed the aircraft states that her neck is stiff and that she probably should not have flown the flight either. I felt pushed by the company to take one for the team knowing it was not a safe situation for me.
