Noah's pov
Right now I'm in the waiting room and I hope Richelle is ok. A syringe went into her leg by accident and I don't know how the paramedics let that happen. I'm actually kind of angry with them.
"You can come and see her." A doctor says to me.
"Ok." I say and follow him.
I see Richelle sitting in her bed looking at the floor.
"Hey." I say softly and she looks up.
"Hey." She says back.
"How is your arm?" I ask.
"It's going to take a month to recover." She replies.
"So you're out of regionals?" I say.
She nods her head.
"I'm sorry." She says.
"What for?" I say back.
"For causing all this drama. I knew that I couldn't do the hand spring, but I tried to do it anyway. Now look what I've done." She says and starts crying.
"Shhh. It's ok Richelle. It's ok. It wasn't your fault. You just didn't want to get shouted at. I know how that feels." I say calming her down.
She rests her head on my chest.
"Noah?" She asks.
"Yes?" I reply.
"Please don't leave me." She says.
"Why would I leave you?" I ask looking at her.
"Because I've ruined everything." She replies.
"Richelle, I would never leave you. Also you haven't ruined anything." I say back.
"Yes I have. You have to get someone else on A troupe again!" She says.
"Richelle you just need to focus on getting better." I say.
"How long so you have to stay in here for?" I ask.
"Just tonight and then I can go home." She replies.
"My parents are on holiday and I haven't git a babysitter." She says.
"Do you want me to come over?" I ask.
"Would you?" She replies.
"If you want me to." I say.
Then she kisses me.
The next day
Noah's pov
Right now I'm just driving to the hospital to pick up Richelle. I'm going to stay at her house for a few days until her parents come back. When I walk in, I see Richelle sitting in the waiting room reading a magazine. She doesn't see me. I sneak up behind her.
"Dance magazine eh?" I say.
She looks up and smiles.
"Yeah." She says.
"I didn't think that you were into ballet." I say looking at the magazine.
"I've always secretly loved ballet. I just haven't told anyone." She says and stands up.
"Cool." I say.
"You ready to go then?" I ask.
"One second." She says and runs off.
"Richelle!" I shout after her. I run after her
She runs into her ward and starts talking to her nurse.
"Thank you for looking after me." She says.
I smile.
"That's ok my dear." The nurse says and smiles.
"I'm going home now." She says.
"Well I hope I don't see you back here to soon." The nurse says and winks at her.
Then Richelle runs back to me and holds my hand. She waves goodbye at the nurse and then we walk out.
"Richelle, I bet you just made that woman's day." I say smiling at her.
She just smiles back.
Then we get into the car.
"I might go back to bed when we get home. Is that ok?" She asks.
"Of course." I say and kiss her cheek.
"I had a terrible night. There was a person next to me who kept screaming every time I tried to go to sleep." She says.
"Well then you had better go straight to bed." I say back.
"Yeah." Richelle says.
"Who do you think will be the new member of A troupe?" Richelle says.
"I don't know. I guess I will find out tomorrow." I say.
Then we arrive at Richelle's house and we get out of the car. Richelle stumbles and almost trips over.
"Are you ok?" I say and get her balance back.
"Yeah I just feel a bit faint." She replies.
"Come on, I'll carry you inside." I say.
She jumps into my arms and I put her to bed.
"Good night." She says.
"Good night." I say and leave.
As I'm walking back down stairs I start wandering who is going to replace Richelle. I hope it isn't Abi. She was the whole reason that Richelle can't perform. If she hadn't locked her in the costume closet, then we wouldn't be in this mess. However, last time I saw Abi she was nice to me. Oh well I guess I will find out tomorrow.
