Wishing I was 23

The World Tour

Three months later...

Lauren's POV

It's been three months since Rachel woke up. There are improvements in her recovery like she could talk now and the doctor says that her vocal chords are not damaged so she could sing.

The bad news are that she is still in physical therapy and is trying her best to walk. It's been hard in her but I'm always right there beside her as well as everyone else.

I only went back home to check on Sarah and the twins but Rachel asked me to bring them here.

Right now, I'm with Rachel and the trainer to help her walk with the walking aid in her physical therapy.

"Well, you've made progress today and I think in two weeks time you can get out of here. But still attend your sessions, of course", the trainer said.

Rachel just smiled and thanked her. I helped her sit down on the wheelchair and push her back into her room. It was quiet because tour is coming up soon.

"Lo", she called. "Yes?", I turned to her. "You're going on tour, right?", she asks. I bit my lip and nod. "Yeah, I am", I simply answered.

"Okay. What's the plan?", she asked as we entered her room already. I stopped beside her bed and help her to sit on it. She lifted herself up and I carefully place her legs on the bed.

"Well, we travel through America at first then, Europe and lastly Asia which I'm so excited about because I get to see Visit Japan again", I squealed a little and Rachel laughed at my excitement.

"You know, I can stay back a while till you get better", I suggested but she shook her head. "No, no, you can't. Simon already tried his best to delay the tour. Its best if you go. Plus, it'll be your last tour with the girls and Camila", she argues.

"I'll be okay. I have Ryland to take care of me and Sarah. Love, don't put your career on the line for me, okay?", she pleaded to me as she laid down and turned to me.

"I need water, please", she asked and I nod at her and walked to the table. I poured a cup and walked back. "I know you don't want to leave me because I'm like this but I want you to able to get back on stage. I really don't want to be a burden and you know that as well as I do", she sits up and leave some space for me.

I sat next to her. "Okay, okay. I'll go", I gave up and she smiled a little at me. "But don't you ever say that you are a burden. You are never a burden and you will never be", I pointed at her with a mad face but she giggles at me.

She took my finger and curl it back to my hand and kissed it lightly. "Have I ever told you that I love you?", she asks and I laughed. "I don't recall", I acted and she smiles wider.

"Well, I love you and I continue to fall in love with you every day", Rachel said and kissed my lips. I smiled into the kiss and copied her actions. "I love you so much, Lauren", she says once more.

"I love you too, Rachel", I said back. "Well then, let's just lay back and watch movies till our twins get here with Sarah and the rest", she proposed and I agreed.

-----After a few hours----------

Sarah knocked softly on the door while holding Dawn in her arms. I motioned her to come in and behind her was the rest of Rachel's gang.

Soda was carrying Ryse while Lucas and Faith carried their bags. "Put them on the table", I told Lucas and Faith and followed.

"So Blues, any news?", Soda asked Rachel. She shrugs and tumr the volume of the TV. She sat up and so did I. Sarah gave me Dawn and I cooed her for a while. Dawn has always been a heavy sleep but Ryse is the troublemaker.
