The diagnosis

Chapter 29

As the first note rung through we all paused. The entire stadium seemed to hold it's breath, but that didn't matter my friends an the people right in front of the stage mattered. Ashton, Michael, Luke, Calum; my best friends and my brothers: Louis, Niall, Liam, and Zayn. The one that made my heart and my dance moves go harder was Harry, my boyfriend.

*Quick AN*

The dance I'm imagining for Andy an her fellow dancers in in a link with this chapter yes it is already a dance that why all credit goes to them. In this though, Andy would be the blond in the video. But if your one of those who won't watch the video to see the performance it was an ABDC crew->I Am Me and if you watch it imagine it more put together with smooth trasitions and still a lot different xD

The long dance went surprisingly fast. It ended with the boys doing floor work and me doing an awesome backflip. As I landed I felt my angle buckle and pain shoot through it. I smiled big and bright as the entire stadium erupted into cheers. 5SOS came running on. They all grabbed me in a big group hug, crushing my sweaty body. My ankle was killing me but I didn't show it.

They all started talking at once. "That was amazing!" "I didn't know you could dance that awesome!" "Jeez is there anything your NOT good at." I laughed and thanked them. "Wow that's going to be hard to follow! You ready California!!!" Everybody screamed. I walked off stage nearly forgetting my team. I hugged them all as they told me how good it was to dance with me again. Arms wrapped around my waste from Behind and picked me up, spinning me in a circle. I giggled.

"My bird is the best!" Harry says into my ear. My already adrenaline filled heart, beats faster. "Am I going to fly away?" I ask joking. "I hope not, I might just die if that happened." I sighed and leaned back into his chest, grateful for the support. I couldn't stop smiling. I felt my feet and legs sort of moving to the beat of the music 5 Seconds of Summer were playing. Harry laughed as he noticed. Harry began pulling me backwards. I focused on not tripping or stepping on his feet.

A quiet squeal escaped my lips as we fell backwards. I landed on Harry and Louis and Niall waved at me. There were couches back stage. How awesome is that?! "Are these usually here?" I ask as I snuggle onto Harry. My feet were dangling and I didn't like how short it made me feel so I crossed my legs on top of Harry. "No, we just get them moved back stage every once in a while so we can watch the show before we go on. Usually we just fuck around back stage but this is for our lazy days." Niall smirks at me.

I nod and put my head back into the crook of Harry's neck. I hear and feel the rumble as Harry sighs. "How long until you go on?" I ask as I hide my face in Harry's neck. I'm still aware that I'm sweaty and tired. My ankle is also still sore, but I didn't want to bother Harry with it. "15 minutes." Liam says. I nodded and closer to my makeshift teddy bear. His arm wrap around me as we watch the Aussie boys jump around while they perform.

Louis and Niall rise from the black couch. "I got to get ready love." I nod and slide off of his lap. "Ok, have fun! And be weird!" I smile and he shakes his head at me. "Love, we are all weird." As they left I realized I had no idea where my dance friends went. I also realized that I didn't really care. That was my old life, and I'm really enjoying my new one. As soon as the boys traded spots the Aussies sat beside me.

They were sweaty and gross, but I hugged them and congratulated them anyways. I rose to my feet, my ankle still sore and went to find that first aid guy. The 5SOS boys were still too hyped from their performance to notice me slightly limp away. It only took 5 minutes to find Jim. He looked at my ankle and said it wasn't broken just badly sprained. I was relieved. I didn't need a broken ankle. He told me to go get changed and get comfortable an then he would give me Ice so I could rest it.

I went outside, expecting to see no one, but there were still people there. A couple people tried to stop me to talk to me about the boys. I guessed they were paps. "Are you using Harry to further yourself in your dreams?" I stopped dead in my tracks. The man who asked the question smiled from behind the fence. "We heard he let you dance, is that true? Are you using him?" 

"You have no right to say something like that. What do you wish to prove? To just hurt people? You are unbelievable people. I didn't even know that was going to happen, and it was the last time I'm ever dancing. Leave me alone!" I get into the tour bus and quickly change. I was not going to let myself cry, because I have done nothing wrong. I head back to the stadium where I could still hear the music playing. 

Jim brought me back behind stage and I sat in between Ashton and Luke. "You should probably lie down and elevate your ankle." Jim said. "Ankle? What happened Andy?" Ashton asked. "Landed on it wrong in my back flip." "You can lay on us if ya need to." Luke said. I nodded. I didn't really want to lay on them. I sighed as I realised I was back to my awkward self. Only around Harry was a courageous and did what I wanted.

Ashton knew me a bit better then Luke and was probably told by Harry that I wouldn't do anything to push myself at people. Jim passed me two pillows. I have no idea where they came from, but I was greatful for them. Ashton leaned in front of me and whispered something I couldn't hear because of the performance. My eye lids were drooping. 

It probably wasn't the smartest idea to exert that much physical activity so soon after a concussion and beating cancer. My body needed rest. Suddenly, Luke leaned down and gently grabbed my calfs as Ashton grabbed the pillows out of my hands, tossing one to luke and putting one up against the arm of the couch and his lap. In a blink I had my feet propped on Luke, my injured one higher than the other on the pillow, and I was laying half on top of Ashton, on the pillow. 

I looked at both of them and smiled. "Thanks guys." As I listened to the lyrics of Through the Dark being performed live, my eyes drifted closed.
