TRY HARD

Chapter 14

"Time for nothing!" Calum says getting out of the bus.
"I just ordered all the clothes" Luke says kissing my forehead.
"I told you not tooooo, I have clothes"
"I know but I wanted to get you more" he kisses my forehead again and I smile. We head into the venue and put our stuff down in the green room.
"Let's check out the stage before they set it up." We go down the hall and onto the stage. Michael slips where someone dropped some water on the floor.
"Oh shit! You good Michael?" I ask laughing.
"Damn" he groans getting up.
"Bro that was elegant" Calum grabs his hand and helps him up. I'm still laughing my ass off with Luke and Ashton.
"Fuck you guys" I step forward and fall myself, landing on my phone, and my arm.
"Oh shit are you okay?" Luke says as he stops laughing. I roll over onto my good arm and groan, putting my head into the ground.
"Delia are you ok?" I hear a Alice ask.
"That hurt my arm" I say.
"Ok here sit up" I flip my hair over to my back and sit on my knees on the stage.
"It doesn't look broken, you probably just landed on it funny. You should ice it though" Alice says. I nod and grab my phone.
"Ah shit" I say looking at the shattered screen.
"Did you land on it?" Ashton says helping me up.
"I think" I stand and brush off my ass.
"Why is the stage so slippery?" Calum asks Alice.
"I think they just cleaned them" she says walking us back to the green room.
"I'll grab ice from the medics" she says.
"Damn, already hurt." I say.
"And I didn't do it" Luke says. I look up at Luke and glare and at him.
"What it's the truth" he says sitting next to me.
"Michael are you good? You fell too"
"Nah I'm fine I landed on my ass not my arm"
"True True" I say nodding.
"I couldn't just get ice, here's the medics" Alice says coming in and then leaving again.
"Let's take a look" one of them says kneeling in front of me.
"I'm Erin" he says.
"And that's my partner Grace" he adds.
"I'm gonna just take your vitals, protocol" she says wrapping a thing around my good arm. A few minutes later Erin says.
"Bad news, I think you dislocated it and then popped it back in, but we need to make sure your elbow is in the right place. But thats gonna need an x-Ray at the hospital." I shake my head.
"No that's not necessary. I'm fine." I protest back.
"Look, if we bring you, you'll be in and out in a hour, if we don't it could be 5 hours, we'll have you back for sound check" I sigh.
"That's a promise?" I ask. He nods.
"Ok fine, you guys I'll be back" Erin starts to put a sling around my arm.
"I'm coming"
"Luke no, what if we're late?"
"Well my girlfriend is going to the hospital, I'm coming" he says. I sigh and walk out of the room with Luke, Erin, and Grace.

We get to the hospital and walk in.
"Have you ever had any kind of surgery?" I shake my head no.
"Any scars from anything?"
"Uhm no." I lie. The doctor looks at me.
"Any previous falls?"
"No"
"Ok put this gown on, we'll be back to take you to x-Ray" he says, leaving Luke and I alone. I turn around and take off my skirt and top. I was just in my underwear, which was a thong and my bra. I undo my bra and throw it onto the bed, I slip on the gown. I sit back down and sigh.
"This is gonna sound weird but, why did you hesitate at the scar question?" Luke asks. I sigh again.
"It's nothing" he comes closer to me and places his hands on my legs.
"Don't freak out" he says while pulling the gown up a little. I try to push his hand away.
"I figured ya know" he says uncovering my self harm marks. He knew about me cutting but he doesn't know about the most recent stuff. I've still been cutting while on tour.
"It's hard ya know? I had two friends my entire life, no mom, my dad was always away, I always felt pressured."
"You don't have to feel pressured anymore babe I promise" he kisses me.

"Hey how was the hospital?" Michael asks.
"It was good, gotta wear the sling for a few weeks but I'm good" I sit down on the couch again.
"I might take a nap in between" I say.
"Well at least you didn't break anything" Ashton says "Except my phone" Luke sits next to me and places his hand on my thigh. I look over at him at smile. He puts his head on my shoulder.

"Guys time for the show!" Alice says coming in.
"Are you ok now Delia?"
"Ya I'm good" the boys leave and I'm left until the questions.
