Luke Patterson/Charlie Gillespie imagines

Care for You~ Charlie Gillespie

I was startled awake by my alarm clock, jerking me out of my wonderful dream I'd been having. I groaned, and threw back the covers, and climbed out of bed.

"Argh—" I crumpled over as a horrible pain shot from my ankle up my leg. I pulled up my pant leg to see a very swollen— very bruised ankle. I sighed. Ice skating fiasco, which equaled in just a (hopefully) twisted ankle. I could NOT have a sprained ankle right now, not with how busy I was. Kenny, my director, was really pushing us all to do our best with the show we were filming. We had a deadline, and I did not have the time for a sprained ankle. Limping, I made my way to the closet, and threw on a hoodie, and ripped jeans. Then, I dreadfully pulled on my shoes, being extra careful not to agitate my ankle. I sighed, and straightened myself up. I can do this.

"Hey Y/N!" My best friends Savannah and Jadah ran up. I gladly accepted their hugs, being careful not to wince at the pain.

"Hey baby." My boyfriend, Charlie, came next, kissing me on the head.

"Hi." I smiled.

"My star!" Kenny walked into the room, holding his arms out.

"Kenny! How are you this fine day?" I asked, mentally awarding myself for how amazing I was at actually natural.

"I'm excited for us to finally get this Perfect Harmony scene done!"

I just about died inside. I forgot that scene was today.

"You ok? You just got a look of dread on your face." Charlie asked.

"Huh? Oh— yeah I'm fine. Excited!" I faked.

"Wow do I stink?" He teased, smelling himself. I rolled my eyes.

"Never." I replied, leaning up to peck his lips. He grinned.

"Alright, let's do this!" Kenny shouted. Everyone cheered. About fifteen minutes later, Charlie and I met in the dance room, I in my black dress, and him in his dashing black pants paired with a white button up shirt. His hair was swept to the side— so different compared to his usual. I grinned at him.

"Um, Y/N honey," Kenny addressed me, "the shoes are meant to be worn without socks." He pointed out the heels I wore...with socks. I cringed, not wanting them to see the bruising.

"Um, I'm cold?" I made an excuse. Kenny laughed.

"Hey Paul? Turn up the heat please. Now quick, go change." He told me. I nervously made my way out of the room. Once alone, I peeled off my socks, and grimaced at my poor ankle.

"Maybe makeup?" I said to myself. I pulled my makeup bag out, and went to work.

* * *
"There." I finished. The swelling was a little noticeable, but the bruising practically gone. Quickly, I made my way back to the studio.

"Ok, let's do this!" Kenny shouted. The lights dimmed, and I noticed Charlie looking suspiciously at me. I ignored him. The music began playing, and I switched to the role of Julie, my character, acting surprised as "Luke" made his way towards me, holding out his hands. I grabbed them, and as the beat dropped, the dance began. Sharp pains were warning me to stop, but I pushed through. Finally, we were nearing the end. Charlie lifted me into the air, spinning me around. He then lowered me, and everything happened so fast. I just remember pain. So much pain, as I cried out.

"CUT." Charlie yelled. The lights came back on, and about ten people came running towards me all at once. I sat on the ground, holding my ankle.

* * *
"Its just a sprain, you're lucky." The doctor came into the room. I groaned. Charlie stood next to my bed, looking slightly mad. We left the building, him helping me with my crutches. Once in the car, I called Kenny.

"Its a sprain."

"Y/N, I cant believe you thought I'd be mad with you. These things happen."

"I know..but we've just all been on such a roll. And the deadline...what are we gonna do?" I stressed.

"Hey, it's ok. It usually just takes about two weeks of resting to heal. I'll tell the company we need a break, they'll extend the deadline. I'm not worried about it. I AM worried about your health, though. So just focus on yourself for these next couple of weeks." He calmly assured me. I smiled.

"Thank you Kenny."

"We love you Y/N. Get well soon." He kindly said, and I hung up.

Charlie still sat, quiet.

"Howre you feeling?" He asked.

"Are you mad?" I asked, ignoring the question. He shook his head.

"No, but you should've told me." He said, as we pulled into the driveway. He helped me out and into the house, leading me to the couch. He got some ice, and placed it on my ankle.

"I love you and I worry about you. You didnt have to hide it."

"I know, but then you would've told Kenny." I argued.

"Well, yes. Because your health is so much more important to me, Y/N. I would give this show up in a heartbeat if it meant just keeping you safe." He sincerely said, brushing my hair behind my ear. I smiled.

"I love you." I said, sticking out my bottom lip. He chuckled and leaned forward to kiss me.

"I love you more angel. Do you need anything?"

I nodded.

"Cuddle with me?" I pleaded. He smiled, and nodded.
