BRYCE'S POV
"I hate you!" Chelsea sobbed with anger before running away.
"That's cruel!" Nicky yells furiously, the vein in her neck pulsing.
"How dare you do that to us!" Jenny snarls, tears streaming down her face. She glared at a startled and infuriated Zach.
"I had nothing to do with this! I'm just angry as you are!" Jenny's sharp look turns to us and she punches her brother in the chest before running towards the bathrooms.
"I don't know what the big deal is?" Harrison scoffs. An ear piercing scream shatters the air and we all dash towards Jenny. We find Jenny kneeling beside Chelsea, who's unconscious and sickly pale. My heart stopped as I stared. Jenny grabs shakingly for her phone, but Zach gently takes it off of her.
"I'll call the ambulance." He helps his girlfriend to her knees and embraces her while calling the hospital. Addi and Abi help Amber set Chelsea against the wall and check her breathing.
"The deal is you've caused her to have a panic attack." Amber sneers and I frown.
"How did you-" I shut up when Amber gives me a meaningful glare.
"I have to call Piper and Riley." Abi excuses herself from the discomfort and jogs into the hallway. I stare at Chelsea, the enclosing sounds decrease as I concentrate on her. What have I done?
ABI'S POV
I press on Piper's contact and she picks up after three rings.
"Hey Abi, what's up?" I bite my lip.
"Chelsea's had a panic attack and we need you to drive us to the hospital. There's an ambulance on the way. I'll call Riley." I hear Piper's phone clatter on the floor before she frantically picks it back up.
"I'll be there soon." I hang up and call Riley.
"Hello?" I try to calm down.
"Riley, youneedtogettothestudionow. Chelseashadapanicattack." Riley hangs up immediately after my blurt and the ambulance arrives.
"I'll go with her. This is my fault." Bryce states and we agree hesitantly. I watch as my stressed teammate gets into the ambulance with Chelsea and the paramedics. Riley and Piper arrive soon after the ambulance leaves the premises.
"Get in," Riley shouts to us. Nicky, Zach, Jenny, and I hopped into Riley's car while Harrison, Addison, Brandon and Amber race into Piper's car. While everyone chatted quietly, I sat in silence praying that my bestie was okay.
BRYCE'S POV
I hold Chelsea's small hand as the ambulance whirled through traffic.
"What happened to your friend?" One of the paramedics questions me. Guilt fills my chest as I choke a reply, keeping my eyes on Chelsea's peaceful yet sickly face.
"My friends and I pulled a prank on Chelsea and her friends. She thought I was dead and when I told her it was a prank, she ran to the girl's bathroom and fainted." Tears clouded my eyes as the sirens continue to screech through the night.
"She'll be fine." The ambulance officer assures me. We arrive at the hospital and the paramedics take Chelsea into the large building. I rush in with the paramedics and Chelsea is taken to a random room.
"Sorry, no visitors." The nurse stated bluntly.
"Please, you have to let me in." The nurse slams the door shut and I sat down in the waiting room, holding my head in my hands with frustration. I wanted to cry, it was all my fault. But why would I cry? She's just a girl, right?
ADDISON'S POV
We arrive at the hospital and rush manically into the reception. People stared as we sprinted towards the front desk.
"Do you know what room Chelsea Tordjman is in?" Riley asks as politely as she can.
"The girl who just came in? Sorry, no visitors at the moment. You're welcome to wait in the waiting room though." The nurse directs us to the waiting room, where a couple of people sat, including Bryce, who looked as if he was about to cry.
"Bryce." Zach quietly calls out to his friend. Bryce looks up as we sat down.
"Miss Riley, I'm so sorry-" Riley interrupts with an understanding smile.
"Calm down, Bryce. Chelsea got stressed out, it's no one's fault. Just no more ridiculous pranks." She rolled her eyes. "And please call me Riley. Miss makes me feel old." A doctor walks into the room holding a clipboard.
"Visitors for Chelsea Tordjman. Two at a time." Piper and Riley go in first.
"The reason the prank triggered a panic attack is because she would rather die than lose her friends and family," Amber explains. I'm glad Bryce's sister's warming up to Chelsea. Chelsea is dance captain after all. And it's pretty obvious that they like each other, even if Bryce is one of the biggest players the studio has ever had.
"She must really care." I wiggle my eyebrows at Bryce and he glares back at me. Riley and Piper come back out.
"Can I go in by myself?" Bryce asks and we all agree as he walks in.
BRYCE'S POV
I hear Chelsea ask as soon as I walk in. I rush to the side of the hospital. She was in a hospital gown and was sitting up on the bed.
"Chelsea, thank god you're okay. I'm so sorry. I-" Chelsea pulls me into a tight hug, nuzzling her face into my shoulder. I embrace her and softly stroke her hair.
"I'm just glad you're alive." She pulls away and punches my shoulder. "Don't ever do that again." Chelsea fake-scowled before laughing. I couldn't help but smile. She's beautiful. I can't like her! But she's turning me inside out. The bet... My chest fills with guilt again. "Hey, what's wrong?" Chelsea asks, concern lightening her voice. I shake it off and fake a smile.
"It's nothing." Chelsea hesitates but nods her head.
"If there's anything you ever need to talk about, I'll be there." Chelsea's mesmerising warm brown eyes shine with cheekiness. The others come in as we pull away from another hug. "Oh shut up." Chelsea sticks out her tongue and we all laugh at her immaturity.
