Family First ♡ - A Chaselyn Story

Chapter 7

Ellie's pov
Last night wasn't that bad to be honest. Chase and Maddie were next to me the whole time so it wasn't that bad. Today, on the other hand, I was anxious. Chase and Maddie were shooting so they were leaving soon and Madison was going to be staying with me until they return. Then I have my surgery later today. I've never had surgery so I was quite scared. Madelyn told me that she would hold my hand from when I get put to sleep with the anaesthetic and she would be holding my hand when I wake up. Honestly, she's like a mom to me. "How you feeling bubs?" Madelyn asks me and sits next to me on the bed. "Good, I think" I say, unsure. "We are leaving soon, Madison will be here soon too. We won't be long. Jonas told us we wouldn't be longer than 3 hours and he will make sure we are quick. We will be back in time for your surgery" Chase says and sits on the other side of me. I rest my head on his shoulder. "Will I be safe?" I ask, I don't even know why. I'm just so anxious. "You will be, I promise you. Like I said, we will be with you as you leave and when you wake up. You're safe here, I promise" Madelyn says and I nod. I then get a text from Madison.

Madison ✨: heyyy Els.... Mariah is staying with me for the next few weeks. Do you mind if she comes today? You'll love her, and she wants to meet you. If you don't, just say :)

Me: yeah of course, I can't wait to meet her <3

Madison✨: okay, we will be there in 15 minutes.

"Mariah is really nice, you'll get along with her" Madelyn tells me and Chase agrees with him. It wasn't long until there was a knock on the door and Madison and Mariah. "Heyyy Els" Madison says and comes over and gives me a hug. "Hi Ellie. Nice to meet you, I'm Mariah" she says and I smile and we have small talk. "Okay, we are leaving now. We will be back soon, if y'all need us just text us or Jonas and we will get back as soon as possible." Chase says and we say goodbye,

"How're you feeling this morning?" Madison asks. "In a bit of pain but it's okay, just nervous for tonight." I tell her. "I had the exact same surgery, last year" Mariah asks. "Really? Is it bad?" I ask. "I tripped in a basketball game, I was in hospital a total of 7 days. It wasn't too bad. It took me 6 weeks to be able to get back to basketball but apart from that, after a day or two it wasn't bad at all" she tells me. "Is the scar big?" I ask. I didn't really want a big scar on my arm. She shakes her head, "No, look there it is. It's barely visible." She says and shows me. "Do you do any sports?" She asks. I nod.

"When I was in Maryland, I use to run track. From the age of 8 up until a few months I would do competitions and was in a club. Actually, me and Kiki are trying to find a club to join together. I don't know when now with this" I tell Mariah. "Aw it's cute you're doing it with Kiki. Yours, Kiki's and Lilah's friendship is really adorable." Madison says. "That's cool, I use to do track too. If you ever want a partner to go on runs with you know where to find me. When I'm not at collage in Charlotte." She says laughing. Chase was right, Mariah was nice. All of the cast and crew was nice.

Me, Mariah and Madison just spent time talking. There was a knock on the door. "It's just me, the nurse. I'm here to just check up on you and there's an injection I need to give you, I'm afraid" she says and I look at Madison. I hated injections. I think she could tell because she came and sat next to me as soon as we were told. "Can I sit next to her when you do it?" She asks the nurse and the nurse allows her to do so. "I hate them" I say laughing nervously. "Here, pass your hand and look towards Mariah" she tells me and I do what she says. The nurse starts to put the injection in my arm and I wince a little bit. It wasn't too bad. "Have you ever gotten the snow cones down at Charleston beach?" Mariah asks me, distracting me and it was working, "No, are they nice?" I ask her. "Oh my gosh, they're the best thing. As soon as you're outta here me and Mariah will take you" Madison tells me and before I know it the nurse said, "there, all done. You're all good until around 4:30 when we will get you prepped" and leaves the room.
