Saving Lilly Leblanc / A Bratayley Fanfiction

3- Way More Than Annie's Twin

I just want to clarify that i am no way saying that annie acts like this or ever would! it's just for the story! 

The next morning

 Mom, Dad, Annie and Hayley were having lunch with the Donnellys while I was at dance class. 

We were in jazz working on a fun upbeat piece. My jazz class competes in the senior category at competitions because it's a large group and most of the girls are 14-17. I do compete in dance. People don't ask me if I'm Annie at competitions. If Annie was in competitions they would know. So

Anyways we did a high kick then 4 jazz turns and did a passe jump into pas de bouree turn. I jumped into a straddle leap but when I landed my knee popped. It all happened in slow motion. I thought i dislocated it, The music stopped. 

Before I knew it Hope's mom was driving me to the hospital. The dance studio is about a half hour from Katie's house and I was in too much pain to wait that long. The hospital was about 15 minutes from the studio, it would be a 45 minute drive for my family to come.

I waited in the waiting room for what felt like forever.

  I took a X-ray which kind of hurt and waited more, i wasn't allowed to know my results until my Mom or Dad was with me.  

My family came to the office I was in.  It was like they didn't rush at all. 

Annie and Katie walked in. They were whispering in each other's ears and giggling. My mom held my hand. "What happened?" My dad asked. "I did a straddle and when I landed something popped." I said

 The doctor came back with X-Ray pictures. "You're very lucky." She said. I tilted my head. "If you landed any harder you could've completely torn your ACL, that would involve surgery and a long recovery process. " The doctor said. "So she's okay?" Hayley asked. "Not quite, the ligament wasn't torn but it was pulled. It's just a bad sprain, you'll be okay" She said. "She can still dance right?" My mom asked.

 I rolled my eyes. Am I some dancing machine? I do other things too! But it would suck if I couldn't dance. "I don't recommend her putting pressure on it for a week to 10 days hopefully you can dance in 2-3 weeks. we'll give you crutches before you leave. 

I sighed. This is going to suck! 

They put this brace on my knee I was pretty bummed but it's a dance injury, it happens to professionals all the time. "When do you think i'll be able to do my tricks? I have a competition in 2 months." I said. "Hopefully when you get back to training." The doctor said I heard Annie laugh under her breath. I glared at her. 

We got home. "Go rest upstairs Lilly, I'll bring you something in a bit.

I hobbled to my room. I wasn't paying attention and Annie tripped me! Hayden who was walking up the stairs ran to help me up. "Woah you okay?" He asked. I went into my room. "Yea, i'm fine. But Annie's not. She's just been bitter since last night." I said. "Do you want to come in?" I asked quietly. He shrugged. "Sure!" He said. I shut the door. 

"Did Annie literally just trip you?" He asked.  I scoffed. "What a bitchy move, I had a shitty day."  I said. "I gotta agree. That fight last night was really intense but I don't get why she's still mad." He said. "I know, she used to be different when she lived here all the time. She was sweet,bubbly,patient and everybody loved both of us. it's so much different now." I said. "That kind of sucks. She told me last minute that you existed. I freaked out and didn't think you were real." He said. I laughed. "She has to do that with all of her friends. But she always says. "She never wanted to be involved." I said. He nodded. "It used to be like that but come on, what 13 year old doesn't want to be famous." I said. "Annie has complained countless times about how you're lucky to be normal. neither of you are unlucky." He said. I smiled. That made me feel good. "You seem a little bummed and I'm still totally confused What happened today?" Hayden asked. "I fell in dance and hurt my knee It's a sprain but I could've ended my career as a dancer which was a total scare, to be honest I don't know who I would be without dance in my life, it's me."  I said. "But why is dance you, not just a part of you?" He asked. "It's always been there. My dance friends are the best friends in the world, dancing is the best feeling in the world and it's just an escape. I've always been "Annie's twin" but when I'm dancing I'm just "Lilly"  it's the perfect thing for me."  I said. "I think you're way more than Annie's twin. When I met you, it was so much more. I thought of that kiss of something it wasn't supposed to be. You're unique. And I like that." He said. I leaned forward and kissed him. It was like everything I thought I lost today was being formed into something different, beautiful. 

We stopped. We looked in to each other's eyes and smiled. My mom walked in. "Hey, good to see you guys getting know each other! How do you feel Lilly?" My Mom asked. "Bleh." I said. "I'm gonna go back to Annie, she's texting me like crazy." Hayden said while leaving. My mom put a pillow under my leg. She sat down on my bed. "You know Annie likes Hayden very much right." She said. "Mom, i'm not stealing my twin sister's boyfriend." I said. "Just making sure. you guys have this connection?" I gleamed. "We do?" I asked. I changed my tone. "Sorry, We do?" I asked again. "Hopefully it's not something that'll hurt your sister." My mom said. I rolled my eyes. "My little rebel." She said. While leaving the room and shutting the door. 

Hm, I like this Hayden guy. Maybe i'm not the good girl they think i am..
