Michael's pov

The boys and I were backstage at Wimberley Park. We were about to go on stage. The stadium was sold out, witch was crazy. Too say Ashton was nervous was a understatement. He's been shaking a little since we arrived and I've been trying to calm him down.

"Ash, relax. Just tell me what you're afraid of "i said in a calming voice.

"What if i mess up "He said. Honestly, i was surprised, Ashton was always so confident in his drumming.

"Are you serious? Ash, you are the best drummer I've ever met. You will rock like, you always do "i said.

"Thanks Mikey "he said smiling.

"Guys, were on in 5 minutes "Calum yelled from across the room.

Ashton and i walked over to him and Luke. We grabbed our guitars and Ashton grabbed his drum sticks. 2 of the crew members made sure our ear peices were in properly. Once we were ready, we ran on stage. The screams got louder, as we started playing '18'.

------

We were in the middle of the second last song, witch was 'Long Way Home'. I was walking over to Luke, while looking down at my guitar. I tripped over a cord, that wasn't meant to be there and face planted. I felt a snap and a sharp pain in my foot.

I rolled over on to my back and covered my eyes with my arm. My guitar was still on. I knew fans could see me, but I didn't care because my foot hurt that much. I tried moving my foot, but it revolted in me grouning and tearing up. By now the music stopped and the boys ran over to me.

"Mikey, are you okay? "Calum asked. I shook my haed.

"What hurts? "Luke asked.

"My foot "i answered.

"Come on Mike, let's get you off stage. "Ashton said. I nodded, removing my arm from my eyes.

The boys helped me up, careful of my foot. As Ashton and Luke helped me backstage, i tried to walk on my foot. Pain shoot though my leg, making me groun and lean forward.

Calum stayed on stage and told the crowd what was happening.

The boys sat me down on the couch. Paramedics rushed over to check me out. One of them called a ambulance, while the other took off my guitar and examined my foot. Luke sat down next to me, as Calum raced over.

"Are you okay Mikey "Calum asked, clearly worried.

"Yeah, my foot really hurts though "i answered. He nodded.

More paramedics rushed in with a statcher. The boys helped me on it, before i was wheeled out to the ambulance. Ashton got in the back with me, after telling Calum and Luke to meet us at the hospital.

Ashton's pov

Once we arrived at the hospital, Michael was taken to get x-rays. I was told to wait in the waiting room. The boys arrived not 10 minutes later. I could see they were both worried, especially Calum. He and Michael always had a very tight bond, and if one got hurt or sick the other one would worry a lot.

"Do we know what's wrong yet?" Luke asked. I shook my haed.

"He's getting x-rays done right now "i said. They nodded and sat down. Calum laid his head on my shoulder.

"He's okay Cal. It's just his foot "i said, wrapping a arm around him. Calum nodded, closing his eyes.

30 minutes later, a nurse came out and asked us if we're here for Michael. I nodded. Calum fell asleep on me about 15 minutes ago. I decided to let him sleep, because he hardly gets sleep on the bus.

"Michael has broken both bones in his ankle. He'll have to have surgery. "The nurse said, snapping me out of my trance.

"Ok. How long well he have to have a boot on for "Luke asked.

"6-8 weeks "she answered. We nodded.

She walked away, after saying she would come get us when Michael is out of surgery.

------

2 hours later, Calum was now awake. I was on my phone, same as Luke. The same nurse came out and said Michael was out of surgery and awake. She lead us to his room.

When we got there, Michael was laying in the bed, still looking a bit sleepily. His foot was wrapped up and in a boot. We walked into the room and pulled up chairs.

"Hey Mikey, how you feeling "i asked.

"Tired "he answered, looking at me.

"Probably side effects of surgery "Luke said. Michael looked at him, confused.

"Surgery? What surgery? "He asked.

"You broke both bones in your ankle "Calum answered.

"Great. What are we going to do about the tour? "Michael questioned.

"You'll have to rest for a week. But you can always sit down on stage "i said.

Michael nodded, before looking at me.

"I don't know why you were nervous, I'm the one that ended up breaking my ankle "he said smiling.
