"I'm not just gonna leave her here !" Ellington argues .

"The doctor said she will wake up soon enough ." Mark assures .

Ellington said he wasn't gonna continue tour if Rydel wasn't even on the bus . The doctor was gonna allow Rydel coming along if we weren't to loud . Everyone agreed but I don't know how the boys will pull that off . Now we wait .

---1 hour, 30 minutes later---

"Lynch Family ?" Nurse Paella calls .

"Yes ?" Stormie answered .

"Rydel is now awake . And you may see her but only 1 or 2 at a time ." She says .

"Ratliff ? Would you like to go first ?" Stormie sighs . His face fills with happiness .

"Of course ! Are you sure ? " He says running half way .

"Go ." Mark smiles .

I run into Rydel's room as fast as I could, getting disapproving stares from nurses. I walk into he room and find Rydel . She looks so fragile . And broken . And hurt .

"Hey baby ." I whisper .

"Oh . Hey Ratty ." She flutters her eyes open . She smiles .

"Im so, so sorry this happened ." I apologize .

"It's not your fault ." She chokes .

"I should've caught you . I'm suppose to protect you, it's my job ." I step closer .

"The fans pulled me off because I reached out . I wanted to wear heels remember . Just know it isn't your fault . "

I stay silent . I kiss her cheek and take a seat beside her .

"You'll get better ." I state . "You have to ." I add .

"I will . For you ."

"Promise ."

"I promise Ratty ."

\KATIE P.O.V/

When Stormie and Mark come out, it'll be Ross and I's turn . A few minutes later they return .

"You two can go on ." Mark ushers .

We walk into Rydel's room . She seems to be a mixed of emotions when she sees us . Happy, excited, nervous, upset, confused, angry .

"Hey lil bro ." She smiles .

"Hey Katie ." She adds looking me up and down .

"Hey Delly . " I smile .

She snorts, "Don't call me that .!"

"But she always calls you that ." Ross states . Confused just as much as me .

"That was before she tried to replace me . I mean really !"

"What are you talking about Rydel ?" I question .

"I'm talking about you finishing up the tour with them as a keyboard player ! I bet you even payed those two fans to pull me off the stage so you can have to spotlight all to yourself ."

"I didn't do that !"

"She didn't do that!" Ross says at the exact same time.

"How would you know Jersey Shor ? All you see is the good in her ." Rydel mocks waving her hand up and down .

"I won't need to . She's never hurt me . I trust her ! She amazing ." Ross defends .

"Yeah to you !"

"What is your problem !" Ross shrikes.

"Don't Ross ." I whisper . What Rydel is saying ... Hurts . She's became another sister to me .

"No Katie ! She can't just talk shit about you!" Ross shouts .

"I'm sorry ." He says quickly.

"No, no it's okay ." I mumble .

I look up at Rydel . "For the record . I didn't pay anyone . I didn't even know those girls . I had nothing to do with you falling off stage . In fact, I tried to help you. You were like my sister, but this isn't my the same Rydel . My Rydel wouldn't be so arrogant to accuse me with something so stupid ." I tell her . She looks taken back . I feel it's best just to leave the room . I drop Ross's hand and leave the hospital completely .

--------------------------

\ROSS P.O.V/

"THANKS A LOT RYDEL !" I yell . She flinches . I forgot we can't be to loud .

"It wasn't me ." Rydel shrugs .

"Wasn't you ? YOURE THE ONE THAT MADE HER UPSET ! YOU'RE THE ONE WHOA CCUSED HER OF SOMETHING EVERYONE KNOWS SHE DIDNT DO. You falling of stage was YOUR fault . EVERYTHING SHE JUST SAID WAS THE TRUTH , I DONT KNOW WHO FILLED YOUR HEAD WITH BULLSHIT BUT SHE AGREED TO PLAY SO WE WOULDN'T DISAPPOINT OUR FANS . SHES HELPING US, UNLIKE YOU, WHO IS SITTING HER HURTING MY FIANCÉ . I MEAN FOR REAL RYDEL, KATIE WOULDN'T DO ANY OF THAT . OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES ALREADY ." I speak . More like yell but of course not to my full ability . Her eyes are full with pain threatening to take over any minute .

"I don't think she would pay someone to pull you off stage when she chose you to be in our wedding ." I say calmer, leaving the room .

I guess my family heard it because they give a look full of confusion and wonder . Ratliff scoffs and runs into Rydel's room to comfort her .

"She thinks Katie payed those two fans to pull her off stage so that she can replace her . " I inform and leave to find Katie .
