Dancing with the Star

Chapter 19

"Hey Guys!" Harrison says weakly. He only turns his head to look at us. His eyes are just barley open, he doesn't look to good. Derek heard his voice and leaps to his feet and rushes over to the side of his bed. "How are you feeling by guy?" "Where am I?" Harrison looks around. "You're at the hospital." I butt into the conversation. "Why?" "The doctor still doesn't know what happened." Natasha answers him. "He's coming back for more testing in a little bit." "Ok" he rolls over and falls back asleep. "He's going to be ok, right?" Derek looks up at me. "I hope so...." This time I started to full out cry.

We all sit back down in the chairs we were sitting in before. Then before we all knew it a voice woke us all up. "Excuse me?" It startled us all awake. "Huh, yes?" I look up and I see it's the doctor. "I'm going to have to ask you guys to leave. I have to finish the testing. You can come back a little later today though." "Ok, thank you." Derek says to the doctor while helping me back to my feet.

"That was some night, eh?" Derek was trying to jokingly play off that one of his closest friends was in the hospital. "Yeah...." I open my bedroom door. "Um, so goodnight/good afternoon I guess..." He jokes again. I let out a little fake laugh "yeah...."

I crawl into bed but all I could think about was Harrison, how was Derek taking all of this, how do I feel about this? It was just all so confusing. I couldn't sleep. I leave my bed and knock in Derek's bedroom door. "Yeah?" I hear faintly. I open the door "hey, I can't sleep. Can I come in here with you?" He laughs "I was about to come and ask you the same thing." I smile "so can I?" "Yeah." He flips the covers on the other side open. I crawl into bed and squeeze up all the way beside him. "How are you feeling?" He asks and I can feel his breath on my neck. "I don't know, I'm in shock. It feels weird here without him. I mean, like what am I going to do without tea once a day?" "Lets just hope he comes out soon." Derek then rolls over to face the wall.

"Maddie?" I hear softly, I open my one eye to see Derek dressed and freshly showered. "Yeah?" "I didn't want to wake you but, we have rehearsal." "Oh, ok. How long do I have to get ready?" "About 15 minutes." "Ok..." I sit up in his bed. "How long was I asleep for?" He grins. "Only 20 minutes." "Feels like forever." "Ok, lets get you ready." He puts out his hands and pulls me to my feet. "Thanks!" I walk into my room, straiten my hair quickly put on a snapback (backwards), grey tank top, red, and green plad shirt around my waist, and red nikey high tops.  "Ok," I meet Derek at the front door "lets go." I pick up my bag. "You sound tired." Derek says "Ya, that's weird. Because I'm totally not!" I say sarcastically.
