Unexpected (Dance Moms Fic)

Chapter 5: Pain in the Hip

The next day at the studio, Abby, Logan and Gianna were in Studio A and they were working with Brooke on her solo as the other girls were in the dressing room waiting for their turn to work on their solo and Melissa, Kelly, Holly, Christi and Cathy were looking on and they saw that something was wrong with Brooke.

"Kelly, i don't know if you've noticed, but do you know something could be wrong with Brooke?" Melissa asked.

"Yeah, but i don't know what's wrong." Kelly admitted.

"From the way she's looking, she could be in pain." Christi predicted.

"Maybe Abby, Logan or Gianna could tell us if they find out." Holly stated.

"Who knows?" Cathy said, crossing her arms as they looked down to see Brooke rehearsing and Abby, Logan and Gianna noticed that from the expression on her face, they knew something was wrong and they called her over.

"Brooke, what's the matter?" Logan asked as he and Abby were concerned about the 13 year old dancer, who looked like she was in a little bit of pain.

"We've been noticing that you've been looking like you were in pain." Gianna added.

"I think it's my hip and it hurts." Brooke answered.

"How long has your hip been hurting?" Abby asked.

"Since this morning, for some strange reason, i woke up and felt pain in my hip." Brooke said.

"Logan, why don't you take Brooke up to Kelly?" Gianna stated.

"Ok. Come on, Brooke. I'm gonna take you to your mother." Logan told Brooke as he walked her slowly and carefully upstairs to the observation room to make sure that the hip didn't hurt any worse, then they got up there.

"Are you ok?" Christi wondered.

"Do you know what's wrong with Brooke?" Kelly asked.

"Well, she told us that it was her hip and she had difficulty dancing because of it." Logan answered.

"How much does it hurt?"

"Kelly, if it's ok with you, i could take Brooke to a chiropractor." Logan suggested.

"Logan, you're like family to all of us, go right ahead." Kelly stated, then Logan carried Brooke to the exit and drove her to the chiropractor.

An hour had passed and at the studio, it was in between rehearsals as Abby and Gianna were doing research on the competition, also with them was Kelly and Paige and they were waiting on Brooke and Logan to come back from the chiropractor.

"Do you think she'll be able to do her solo this weekend, Miss Abby?" Paige asked.

"We don't know, we'll know when Logan and Brooke return from the chiropractor but i can tell that you're kinda worried about your sister." Abby replied.

"Yes, i am." Paige admitted.

"Don't worry, Paige. I think they'll come back with good news." Kelly assured her.

"Let's hope so." Abby stated, then they saw Logan pull up in his lincoln navigator with Brooke sitting up front and he parked his truck in his usual space, he got out of the car and walked Brooke towards the entrance.

"I think we're about to find out if she'll be able to dance or not." Gianna informed and then they entered the building. "Logan, what did the doctor say about Brooke competing this weekend?"

"Well, from what she had told us, Brooke might have to sit this one out because of her strained hip." Logan answered his girlfriend.

Brooke gave a heavy sigh as Logan explained that to Abby, Kelly, Paige and Gianna. She knew that it was very likely that she wouldn't be able to do her routine in Milwaukee this upcoming weekend.

"Brooke, are you sure you still want to do your solo?" Gianna asked.

Brooke thought about it carefully and she wanted to dance, but knew that there would be a next time to do her routine. "Well, i don't want to risk anything and i'll sit this one out, but whenever you need me to do the routine, let me know."

"Good choice, Brooke." Abby said.

"Yeah." Paige agreed, hugging Brooke carefully, not wanting to further injure her sister.

"You'll still travel with us to watch the competition." Kelly added as Brooke nodded, then they went to the dancer's den as Kelly went to the viewing room.

"Hey, Brooke. Are you all right?" Kendall asked.

"What did the doctor say?" Maddie wondered.

"I have good news and bad news, the good news is, even though my hip is hurting me, i'll be ok with some rest. But the bad news is, i won't be able to do my solo this weekend in Milwaukee." Brooke explained.

"That's too bad." Nia sighed.

"Maybe you can perform it at either next weekend's competition or the recital." Mackenzie suggested.

"Thanks for the support, girls." Brooke smiled.

"You're welcome." Chloe said as Vivi didn't say anything, and the week had passed with the rehearsals, but what no one knew, someone had altered one of the girls' solo.
