Dancing with the Star

Chapter 20

I walk into the rehearsal room and Kevin is already there. "Hey, sorry I'm a little late. How are you?" I drop my bag at the door and walk over to him. "It's fine, I understand why you're late. I'm alright. I'm a little worried that I might be alimented this week." "Why?" "Because with what's going on in your life, I don't know how it effects your dancing." I laugh. "When I dance I forget about what's happening around me. It's just me and music." A smile appears on his face. "Good, so, what's our style this week." "Jazz!" I freak out. "Old school jazz. This is gonna be fun!" I look at Kevin in excitement and he's just laughing at me. "Lets do this!" I pull Kevin into the middle of the room.

"I can't breath!" Kevin says at the end of rehearsal. I laugh "be ready for tomorrow we have to finish it." "Don't remind me." He chugs his water down. "Well, you did good today." "Thanks." He smiles "I don't want to let you down and I don't want you to let e down." "Ill try my best" I hold open the door for him. "Thanks. I'll see you tomorrow." "Bye!" I wave to him. "Lets go!" Derek rushes past me grabbing my wrist. "Where?" "To see Harrison!"

"How is he?" Derek walks into Harrisons room seeing that Harrison is sleeping so asked the doctor that. "Good, but we still have no clue what happened to him. We think it's stroke of some sort but we, can't seem to figure it out." Derek runs his hand through his hair. "Ok, thanks doc." "Everything will be fine." I pat him on the back. "You don't know that!" He snaps at me. The whites of his eyes are turning red and you can tell he's trying to hold in the tears. "The best thing you can do  for Harrison at the moment is to keep an open mind." The doctor touches his shoulder. "You really care about him don't you?" "Yeah....." Derek exits the room. "I'll go talk to him" the doctor follows him out.

"Maddie?" Harrison wakes up again. "Yes?" I rush over to his side. "I love you and Derek, you know that right?" "Of cores!" The tears left my eyes again. "Of cores we know. Look at how you treated us. I only wish we could have treated you the same." A weak smile appears on his face. "Tell Natasha I'm sorry for not getting her tea." I laugh "Ok, I will." "When are they leaving?" "Oh, they already left. They wanted to give us our space." "Oh, where's Derek?" "The doctor is talking to him in the hall." "Maddie?" He says again. "Yes?" "I know you won't want to hear this but," "Harrison! If you're going to say what I think you're about to say! I don't want to hear it! You're gonna make it through this ok?" I kiss him on the head and leave the room to go find Derek. "We have to go." I walk past Derek and out the doors.  

"What happened in there? Why were you in a hurry to leave? Why were you crying?" Derek is at a red light and that was the first thing anyone said to break the silence. "Harrison woke up when the doctor was talking to you...." "You didn't come get me!?!?" The light turns green and we start to move again. "Harrison was gonna tell me that he wasn't gonna make it, I didn't want to hear it though! I grabbed you and rushed out." He approached another red light. "It's ok!" Derek undoes his seatbelt and gives me a hug. "He's gonna make it don't listen to what anyone says."
