Chapter 3: Brooke's Hip Pain

For the new week, Shane had a solo called Putting On The Ritz, which was one of his favorite songs and Vivi had a solo named Cowgirl and the group would have all the girls except for Vivi named Ups and Downs, they were gonna be heading to Vorhees, New Jersey to compete at Starbound.

That thursday, it was two days prior to competition and Shane had finished rehearsing his solo, then he was sitting with Abby and even Skye and Lauren were in there watching too, they were watching the group dance rehearsals and Brooke was looking up at the observation room.

"Brooke, stop looking up at your mother, look at my mom, she's the dance teacher." Shane told Brooke.

"Right." Abby added. "Also, your knee is bent and the supporting foot isn't turned out."

As the rehearsal went on, Skye and Lauren looked concerned about Brooke because they could she she was in pain as Abby and Shane turned to them.

"Something's up with Brooke." Skye observed.

"Look's like something's hurting her." Lauren said.

"We'll check it out." Shane told his sisters as he turned to Brooke. "Brooke, what's going on?"

"My hip hurts and it's inflamed." Brooke replied, she had hurt her hip weeks ago and it was now inflamed, then she was sent upstairs to let Kelly know. "Mom, my still hip's hurting."

"Do you want me to see if i can take you to the chiopractor real quick?" Kelly asked.

"What's the matter?" Christi asked, worried about Brooke.

"Her hip and ankle."

When that day's rehearsal was over, everybody went home as Abby, Shane, Lauren and Skye arrived at their house, they parked in the garage and sitting in the living room was a elder woman around 83 named Maryen Lorrain Miller, Maryen is Abby's mother and the grandmother of Shane, Lauren and Skye. Also, Maryen was a dance teacher before Abby began choreographing at 14. They talked to her about their day in the studio before calling it a night.

A day later, Kelly took Brooke to the Skokie Chiropractic on Golf Road and Skokie Boulevard and Paige had tagged along and the Chiropractor named Danielle Perkins introduced herself to them.

"Come on back." Dr. Perkins told them and they went in the room and she began writing on her chart. "How did you hurt it?"

"I'm a dancer. I do a lot of contortion tricks." Brooke told her.

"Is it a sharp stabbing pain or a aching one?"

"Well, when i do a split and stuff, it's like a shooting pain."

"We've put ice on it when it first began and sometimes she would sleep with a heating pad." Kelly stated.

"The ice, that's good, yhe heating pad thing, that isn't good." Dr. Perkins said. "DId you have problems practicing?"

Brooke nodded and the chiropractor started and when they had her bend over, Brooke told her that she felt the pain on her side and she felt it again when she leaned back.

"At this point, i don't think it's a good thing for her to compete this weekend to be honest with you." Dr. Perkins explained.

"We've got to." Kelly commented.

It was competition day and the Abby Lee Dance Company were on the bus as they caught a flight to Newark and were on their way to the venue.

"Brooke, how is your hip?" Shane asked.

"It still hurts." Brooke told him.

"I know how you feel, when i was 13, i had a inflamed hip and mom took me to the chiropractor, the same one that Kelly took you to and Dr Perkins told me to sit the week and competition out." Shane said.
