I wake up with a neck brace attached to me and I'm dressed in a hospital gown. I've managed to end up in the hospital yet again.

"Dee?" Calum says, "Dee!" He squeezes my hand.

I couldn't be any more happier to hear his voice and have him next to me.

"Cal" I smile briefly, "How's it going?"

He chuckles, "I've been better, you?"

"I've been better" We both laugh as Luke's Dad walks in with mine.

"Sweetie!" Dad shouts running up to me and Calum's moves out of the way.

He holds onto my hand, "I hear you went all Tarzan at the park this morning hmm?"

"You know me, I'll never get away from a good tree to climb" I reply, he giggles at me.

"Andie, you're a bit early for your appointment don't ya think?" Carl (Luke's Dad) teases.

"Well y'know I didn't want to be late"

"So, I've got some bad news"

"Good news?"

"Well the good news is that you'll be out of here tomorrow afternoon"

"Bad news?" Calum and I say at the same time.

"You'll be in a wheel chair for quite some time, as you have a minor fracture in your spine, I know I said minor but if it's not looked after well it will become something much more serious" He replies.

"Will I be able to dance again?" The first words that come to me.

"I uhh I - I'm so sorry Andie"

It was like being smacked in the head with a frying pan. My dream and technically the only thing that I am passionate about is taken away. It's gone just because I went to go and get a ball out of a tree. It's gone. My eyes begin to water and a tear streams down my cheek.

"Thanks Carl uhmm I'm sure I'll find something else" Lies.

"Well you do have an amazing voice and I've heard about all of the instruments you can play, you can give that a shot"

"M-maybe"

"I'll be back to check up on you later" Carl exits the room.

No one could obviously hug me or do anything with me except hold my hand, I was useless. Dad squeezes me hand tightly and cries with me.

"I know that you love dancing as much as you love-"

"Nothing" I reply, more tears stream down my cheeks.

"I promise you that I will do whatever it takes to get you back up on your feet and dancing again"

"We, will" Calum emphasises the word 'we' as he steps forward and lays a hand on my Dad's shoulder.

I softly cry, as Dad holds onto my hand and tears fall from his eyes. Dad looks up to Calum and nods.

"I'll be back later hun" Dad kisses my forehead, "I love you"

"I love you too" I barely say.

Dad walks out of the room leaving Calum and I.

"Calum t-this can't be happening" I cry harder.

Calum leans forward to me and holds my face in his hands, "Shh" He soothes, "I'll do everything I can just to make you dance again"

"There's nothing that can be done Cal! I'm hopeless"

"Don't say that about yourself Andie, you are the most hopeful person I have ever met a-and if a silly little fall is going to make you let go of that then I might as well just throw myself off a bridge"

I laugh softly.

"See that's what I love about you, even after a storm you can still smile" Calum grins.

"Well it's more of a hurricane than a storm"

Calum laughs at my remark, wiping away a few more of my tears, "I promise" He kisses my forehead gently.

"You're the best, did you know that?"

"Oh of course, I've got a medal for it" Calum teases as he sits back in a plastic chair.

"If I could move properly I'd hit you"

"Well it's a good thing that you can't huh?"

"Shut up" I chuckle.

"HEYYYY!" Ashton, Michael, Luke, Mali and Xavier walk in.

"How you feelin' kid?" Xavier asks me sitting down at the foot of the bed.

"Like a slinky that's been cut in half" I sarcastically say with a grin as the rest of them laugh, "Thanks for coming guys but you didn't need to!"

"Oh yes we did! We need to know if our little ass kicker is going to be okay!" Ashton perks up.

"Well I won't be kicking ass for a long time, dancing wise"

The room falls silent.

"Uhh yeah I heard about that" Xavier says, "But even if I have to carry you around the studio all day you're still coming to practise"

"I don't think I'll be much help, but I'll be glad to have you running around the studio with me over your shoulders"

Everyone starts to laugh again.

"And she's still smiling!" Mali winks.

"That's Dee alright" Ashton grins.

"Can I take it out of my jacket now?" Michael says out of nowhere.

"Why did you stuff it in your jacket?!" Luke questions.

"I was under pressure!" Michael takes out a Mrs. Field's cookie bag and hands it to me.

I laugh as I take the bag away from them, "Hell yes! Thanks guys! I'd hug you but I'm broken"

"Now ether hide it or eat it before the nurse comes back in" Michael says, looking out the window.
