***Elis POV***
"Ya see, about that.." I allowed my voice to carry off. How was I going to tell my little sister? My mom didn't even know yet either. The doctor made everyone except me leave when he explained the damages to my spinal chord.
"The knife entered my lower abdomin and punctured the center of my spinal chord." I told my mother and Lucy. Laying my head on Lucys lap before seeing their expression.
You might say "Oh no big deal." But it is. Its a very big deal. If it were pushed in even a centimeter more Id be paralyzed forever. When the two most important girls in my life said nothing I added a few things.
"Yes I can still walk but not the same. I can't dance anymore. I can't run or even bend down with out pain errupting like a volcano in my back. I wont be able to do much other than walk. Ill have to have a brace for my lower back." I'm afraid of their response. They might wanna take me off the show. No show means no Austin. No Austin means no happiness. No happiness means life sucks.
"Eli. We can't afford it. Were rumagging thru savings funds for both of your guys hospital bills. If you don't win this show we go bankrupt. Well have no where. Lucy wont be able to have kemo and you wont be able to have physical therapy. You do understand that, if I am to take you out of this competition its for the Best. I know your a great singer and you can win if you applied 100% but you can't do that in your condition. You can't do as much ad the other contestants. Simon and I have to talk. But until your feet hit the ground without you feeling dizzy and almost falling over, your not setting foot on that stage."
"But mom-" I tried to argue but she cut me off.
"No buts. I am not losing either one of you again. I can't do it. Its stressful. Ill die before I let anything happen to my baby girls. Your father left me here to get you thru this life. Which is exactly what I'm doing. I am not gonna argue with you. Its been a great run but if your off this show, then, your off. No arguments. Understand?"
She lifted my chin up so I could look in her eyes. Anger flared mixed with worry and sorrow. She knew what she was saying hurt me even more than the physical pain. I nodded my head in agreement. "I'm gonna go to my room.." I mumbled loud enough for her to hear. "I just need sone rest." I wheeled myself out of the room fast.
I was able to get to my room quickly before the tears spilled out. After all my room was only 3 doors down.
I closed the door before Austin or my mom or anyone could come in. I stayed five feet from the door and three feet from my hospital bed.
I spent a week and two days not able to move my legs. I sat there and finally let the tears fall from my eyes. I can't let my dream be taken away so easily. I need to know who did this to me and do something.
A few minutes later Abby burst in the room.
"Lizzy. I know who did this to you!!!!"
I lifted my head up fast enough to meet her gaze. I motioned my hand for her to take the seat next to me. She came in and locked the door.
"Well?" I asked her way too eager.
"First, You should know everything I've been hiding. I trust you enough." She started telling me her whole life Story. Her brother killed. Parents dead. In an orphanage. Terrible things.
How could such a small and happy girl hide so many secrets?
"and last but not least. My real name isn't Abby." I narrowed my eyes confused at what she meant. "I'm really named Vegas Lynn. I changed my identity so people couldnt look me up. I didn't want people to know my past."
