Hip hop meets ballet

Chapter 13

A/N okay maybe I told a little white lie? The competition is in the next few chapters I promise! When I was writing this chapter I got so involved with what was happening that I completely forgot about the competition. I'm so sorry please don't kill me *cries*

*Callen's POV*

"Mum I'm taking Pia to get some icecream" I called from the loungeroom.

"ICECREAM!!" Pia squealed.

"Yeah that's right love me" I smiled at her.

Walking into mums room, I sat down on mums bed next to her. Putting my hand on her forehead I noticed she had a fever.

"Mum your heating up" I said worriedly.

"I'm okay Cal don't worry" she muttered.

"But I am mum! I am! Your getting worse everyday, we can't lose you too mum. Please you have to get better" I squeak my eyes filling with tears.

"Who knew my baby boy was a softie?" She said reaching up to cup my cheek.

"Mum please. I'm doing the best I can, but I can't do it without you. Please mum once I win the competition I'll do what I can to make you better. I'll do anything but please you have to hold on longer" I stutter out between tears.

"Don't cry Callen. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. My kidneys have a bit left in them. But you need to stay strong okay? For you and Pia"

Mum suffered from a kidney infection, leaving her with 1 kidney instead of 2. Although your physically able to live with one kidney, hers is failing. We've been on the waiting list for a kidney transplant for 2 years now but the cost is just too high that we can afford to pay for the medical bills it requires. That's why I'm trying to win the hip hop competition because that gives a cash prize of 1 million dollars. And even though I won't receive all of it cause I'm in a team and we will split it, what I will get will help dramatically.

"I'm trying mum, I really am... I'm not as strong as you"

"Just like your dad" she said wiping tears from my cheek.

My heart shatters a little when she says that.

"I miss him mum"

"I miss him too" she says pulling me into a hug.

"So yeah what I came to say was I'm taking Pia to get some icecream. We will be home soon" I said wiping the tears from my eyes and standing up.

"Okay, bring me home a little bit?"

"Sure mum. Bye" I said leaving the room.

"Way to ruin the moment Callen" I hear her whisper before I shut the door.

"Come on Pia let's go" I say to Pia.

*Eva's POV*

"Umm I'll have cookies and cream icecream with cookie dough please" I beam at the worker.

"Yeah and I'll have the same as her" Elliot smiles back.

His hand leaves the small of my back to get his wallet out of his pocket.

"My treat" he says to me, smiling.

He places his hand back where it was and leads us to a booth with our icecream in our hands.

"This is like a date you know" he winks at me.

"Keep dreaming El" I laugh back.

His face saddens.

"Hey I was just joking! Aww El. If you want this to be a date it can be" I smile.

"Like puddy in my hands" he smiles back. "Heey isn't that your friend from yesterday night?" He nudges me pointing towards the doorway.

"Yep that's him" I said staring at Callen and the little girl he was with.

"Whose the girl?" He asks.

"Eh I couldn't tell you" I say turning around to face forward.

"Maybe you should go say hello?"

"Are you sure?" I ask

"Yeah I'll be right here, I have to call my mum and tell her where I am anyways"

"Okay I'll be back in a sec El" I say standing up and walking to the booth they were sitting at.

"Oh umm hi Eva, uh whatcha doing here?" Callen stutters.

"I dunno, flying to mars" I say sarcastically.

"Ha ha very funny" he smirks.

"Whose this?" I say towards the little girl.

"I am Callen's baby sister Pia nice to meet you!" She beams.

"Nice to meet you too Pia! I'm Callen's friend" I smile.

"Girlfriend?" She asks.

Callen chokes on his icecream and goes a soft shade of crimson.

"No I'm just his friend, I'm also with my other friend over there eating some icecream" I say, pointing towards Elliot in our booth.

"Oh why don't you sit with me and Cal?" She asks smiling.

"Oh no that's okay Pia, we are almost ready to leave anyway. I just saw Callen over here and thought I'd say hello"

"I'm going to get a drink, don't move Pia" Callen says harshly before leaving to go to the counter.

I hopped in Callen's seat, so I could make sure Pia was safe.

"What's wrong with Callen today?" I ask softly.

"He's sad about mummy" she whispers

"Oh no what's wrong with your mum?"

"She's gonna die soon" she says, her face saddening.

"Oh Pia I'm sorry I asked" I said feeling extremely guilty.

"It's okay, Callen is trying his best to make her better though. I'm pretty sure he is trying to get money to pay for her bills or something I'm not quite sure" she drifts off thinking.

The competition.

"Do you know what's wrong with her?" I ask politely.

"She needs a kidney transplant" Callen cuts in.

"Oh Cal I'm sorry. Why don't you give her one of yours?" I ask. "Forget I asked that actually"

"She won't let me. She's made sure I'm not able to, no matter my protests to help her. I'm doing the competition to get some money to pay for her bills"

"I'm really sorry Callen. Well let's make sure we win then hey? I have to go back to Elliot cause there's something I need to do. But I'll see you tomorrow for the competition. Goodbye Pia! I hope I see you again." I smile before walking back towards our booth.

"Heey did you call your mum?" I ask sitting back down in the booth.

"Yeah I did, she said I can stay over again if you want"

"Okay perfect! Elliot I need you to do something for me okay?" I said before telling him my plan.

"This is crazy! Is it even possible?!" He yells.

"Can you be quiet please! Yes it's crazy and yes it's possible"

"Your ridiculous! This is ridiculous" he says shaking his head.

"Are you in or not?" I ask.

"I can't believe I'm agreeing to this. Okay I'm in let's go" he says leading me out the door.
