"Okay Tim, get ready to go up, you know where to go, right?" One of the crew members said. "Yeah, I do. I hope so." He said and laughed. Faith was already on stage, rehearsing "Devil Calling Me Back". "She's doing great up there." Another one said and Tim smiled. "She always do-" He started to say but all of the sudden he heard a scream and saw Faith next to him. Tim was shocked but rushed to her side.
"Faith?!" He said and carefully put his arm around her. "I'm okay." She said but even though it was dark, he could see she was in pain. She sat up slowly and everyone rushed to her. "Faith, you should stay put-" Tim started saying but she cut him off. "Tim, I'm fine." She said but Tim shook his head. "Lets get her into the dressing room." EJ said and Tim picked her up. "I can walk, I'm fine!" She said but he didn't listen to her so she decided to drop it.

Tim put her down carefully on the couch and he could see she was in pain. "Where does it hurt?" He asked. "My foot really hurts... and my arm." She said and Tim took her shoe off carefully. "Ow!" She said. "Sorry, baby... It's pretty swollen." Tim said and looked at EJ. "Can you go get some ice?" He asked and EJ nodded, walking out. "I can see you're in pain, Faith... It's just you and me here." Tim said and tears rolled down her cheeks. "It... hurts baby." She said and Tim sat down next to her, carefully putting his arms around her. "Shh, baby I know it does..." He rubbed her back softly, just letting her cry.
Tim couldn't admit that he was terrified. He was so scared of losing her because he knew if she would've landed any differently she could've gotten really hurt and he didn't wanna even think of losing her. He felt the tears forming in his eyes but tried to stay strong for her. "Baby, the doctor will be here soon, let me help you change into something more comfortable." Tim said and stood up with her. Faith nodded and he zipped down the back, he moved her clothes slowly and carefully off and helped her into some more comfortable clothes. As they finished there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Tim said and their managers walked in with some more people. "Hey, Faith. How are you feeling?" Jason, her manager, asked her and sitting down on one of the chairs. "I've been better but I'm doing okay." She said. "There's a doctor from a nearby hospital coming to check on you and make sure you're alright." Jason said and Faith nodded. EJ walked in with some ice for her and Tim put some on her arm and her leg where it hurt the most. "Tim, you should finish your rehersal." Faith said and Tim shook his head. "I'm not leaving you." He said and Faith put her hand on his cheek. "Baby, all that's left to do is wait for this doctor and for him to examine me. Go rehearse. I wish I could." She said and sighed. "Okay, but you ask someone to come get me if you need anything. Promise?" He said and she kissed him. "I promise." Tim hugged her and walked out of the room.

Tim's rehearsal was over and he ran to his dressing room. It was a hard set, he couldn't focus, his mind was elsewhere. He knew Faith would be fine, he knew just how strong she is but when he saw her fall down his heart stopped for a moment and he was terrified. He sat down on the couch and took his hat off. He looked up at the ceiling and burst to tears, he didn't really know why he was crying but he was. Hard. He hadn't cried like that in a while, just the thought of losing her made him scared, all these thoughts were running through his mind and he couldn't stop them, they just kept coming. After a while he calmed down and realized that he was in the wrong place, he should be with his wife, she needed him right now and he needed her.

Faith smiled wide as she saw her husband walk into her dressing room. "Hey baby, how are you?" He asked, his voice soft and barely above a whisper.  He knelt down next to her and rubbed her arm softly. "I'm okay... the doctor said I would be okay, nothing is broken, just bruised." She said and Tim kissed the side of her head carefully. He was tender and touched her like she was fragile, like she could break. "I'm glad to hear that." He said and sighed. "We'll go and let you two be alone, call if you need anything, we'll be right here." Jason said and Faith nodded as everyone left.

 "I heard you were a bit distracted at your rehearsal." Faith said and looked at him, resting her head at the back of the couch. "I was... I was scared, Faith. I knew you were okay but I was really scared... When I saw you there next to me I swear my heart stopped for a moment. I went to my dressing room for a moment after the rehearsal and I just... cried... I couldn't push it away..." Tim said, his eyes filling up with tears. Faith moved and kissed his forehead. "I'm sorry for scaring you baby..." She said but he shook his head. "No, baby... Don't apologize. This is probably how you felt, most likely worse when you didn't know if I was dead or alive. I know that's in the past but I keep realizing how bad I was." He said and Faith kissed his lips. "We're both okay and that's what matters, baby." She said and he nodded softly. "I just need to be more careful when I dance on stage. I get down too hard." She said and they both laughed. "You sure do get down." Tim said and shook his head. He was amazed by his wife, of her strength and managing to smile through the pain and joke about this. Everything would be just fine.
