2 WEEKS AFTER THE CAR ACCIDENT......

The gang and I decided to visit James in the hospital. Even though I got a check up to make sure nothing in my body was damaged, I still did care more about James than myself. I know it sounds weird but, it's true. James and I have gotten really close and now that he may never dance again... It just brings me to tears. Michelle & Chloe have been taking care of me ever since they saw me limp into the studio. They asked me a whole bunch of questions and when I told them about what happend... They seemed to care a lot. That's why I like Michelle as dance captain. If Emily saw me limp into the studio, she would still make me dance. But, If it was Tiffany or Stephanie that got hurt, she would sit them out ASAP.

Michelle, Chloe, Daniel, West, Tiffany, Giselle and I walk into James' hospital room. I look over at him and try my best not to cry. I hate seeing James like this. It just doesn't make any sense why this had to happen to him and not me. I mean, I deserve it more. I... distracted him and MADE him crash into that other car. That was all my fault. Mine.

Michelle is the first one to walk in followed by Chloe, Daniel, West, Tiffany & Giselle. I just stay in the hallway because it's just too painful to see him at that moment. Giselle looks back and me.

"Riley, I know it hurts to see him but, he wants you to see him. He needs to see you and make sure your okay." She says. "Come on. We'll go together. And, If you have to cry, Cry. Cry you heart out Gurl. You have a right too. You may have lost one of your bestfriends..." She giggles and whispers to me, "You may have lost your crush too.."

"W-what? You know about that? Did Michelle or Chloe tell you?"

"No. Emily found out and told Stephanie and Steph told me.."

"Oh.." I nod. "Your right, G. I do deserve to cry my heart out. James is basically the only person that cares about me when it comes to dance. Emily... she doesn't really care... She didn't even bother to show up." I shake my head lightly and tears roll down my cheeks slowly. Giselle wipes them away and hugs me. Michelle must've saw us because her and Chloe came over and hugged us both. I just wish Giselle was back in A-Troupe. We need her. At least untill we know what is happening with James.

The Doctor walks in and looks at us.

"Woah. We can't have this many people in the room... Some of you have to leave."

I look at him. "Sorry... How many people at a time are allowed in the room?" I ask.

"Only about 3 or 4 at a time... James, here, needs to rest. He can't have that many people in this room unless this is his family. and I doubt that."

"Excuse me? We are his family. We're his dance family. And, We should all be able to be in this room." I say. Great. Angry is getting to me again. "You think you have the nerve to just kick us all out? No. You dont. His mother gave us permission for all of us to be in here at once! If you don't believe me then, CALL HER! IM SICK OF PEOPLE KICKING MY FRIENDS AND I OUT OF THIS ROOM WHEN WE ALL WANT TO SEE HIM AT THE SAME TIME."

He looks at me. "Get out."

"What?"

"You heard me... GET OUT!"

I just stand there while the others start to walk. Giselle, Chloe and Michelle try to grab my arm but I move away from them and run to James' bed. I fall to my knees and start to cry. Seriously James. Please just wake the freak up. Please.

~2 months later......~

James is doing fine. He'll be able to dance again. Which Im glad about. The doctor told him about my whole out burst and how I cried beside his bed for at least a week. Em had to come and drag me out of the room because I wouldn't move. Plus, Mum told her to come and get me. Right now, I'm sitting beside James in his hospital bed. Tomorrow he gets out. Today, They have to make sure he can walk. If he can walk, then their going to try and see if he can dance. I know I said that he would be able to dance again but, the doctors said that there's a possiblity that he might not dance ever again. And, That's where I come in. I'm going to dance with him. And, If I cry, It's because I truely care about him.

"Riles?"

"Yeah James?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure. Anything James"

"Why were you so worried about me when I was in the hospital?"

"James, Your like a brother to me. We're besties. I mean, I would kill myself if you weren't alive right now. I don't know what I would do without you here...." I'm trying my hardest not to cry. But, James sees that I have tears rolling down my face and he knows that I truely, TRUELY care about him. And, I know he feels the same way.

He hugs me close and I just lay my head on his chest. He kisses my forehead and drifts off to sleep. I think I did the same thing because when I woke up, I saw Michelle and Chloe "Awwing" us. Great. How am I going to explain this to James?
