Time seemed to fly by fast and now it was down to four more shows left. I was now four months pregnant. Let me tell you, it was 90 degrees almost everyday and it was the most uncomfortable thing of my life. The bump was starting to grow and was starting to get more noticeable. Yesterday Levi got into an argument with me because I said I looked like a balloon, he thinks I still look beautiful.
The four of us were getting ready for today's show and the guys were running into each other. I sighed as I got off the couch and went to find clothes other than my PJ's to wear. Since I could not longer get my skinny jeans on, I went over to Kenney's suitcase and "borrowed" a pair of his basketball shorts since he was the closet to my size. Luckily I was still able to fit into some of my band shirts. Today was another hot day and I really didn't want to straighten my hair, so I just threw it up in a bun and made Kenney do my makeup, because that boy is probably better than I am.
For once I was the first one off the bus and decided to take time for myself and take a longer way to the stage. I waved to a few bands and hugged a very happy CC, who had to be pried off by his band members. By the time I got to the stage, Kenney and Jason were warming up a bit and Levi was waiting for me with his arms wide open. I smiled as I hugged him and he kissed me softly. Levi and I have been growing a lot closer through this whole experience together. Don't get me wrong, I liked the nights that I fell asleep in Kenney's arms and I will never stop wondering about what could have been, but with Levi I feel like my life is complete and that nothing can hurt me.
We did our chant quickly, before the guys took their turns and began the intro song. I took a deep breath as I stepped on the stage, "Hello Ohio! Are you guys ready to rock!" I screamed into the mic. The crowd erupted as the boys transitioned to our first song.
I sang my heart out and was having the time of my life. Every show we did the crowd seemed to grow and each time more and more of them knew all the words and would sing along with us. I smiled as I danced around stage throwing in a few goofy dance moves that made the crowd cheer even louder. We had one song left in our set. My life felt whole as I skipped around the stage screaming and singing my heart out, occasionally catching Levi looking at me and winking as soon as he saw he'd been caught. I skipped my way towards the front of the stage to be closer to the crowd, when clumsy me tripped over my own feet and fell stomach/face first onto the asphalt.
I heard the crowd gasp and before I knew the boys were at my side. The security quickly calling in the medical personnel. When I tried to roll over, I felt the worse pain of my life shoot through my stomach. I gasped and tried to hold back a scream. My hand shot to my stomach and my eyes darted to Levi. He had the same panicked expression that I was sure I was wearing. He quickly held onto my hand and squeezed it reassuringly, quickly making his face seem as if he was not worried at all. I glanced at Kenney and Jason and they both looked panicked as well. When they saw me looking at them, Kenney slowly ran his fingers through my hair and Jason turned his head to wipe away a tear, probably hoping none of the fans saw that.
In the background I heard the sirens of an ambulance getting closer, but as the pain began to increase my vision started to get blurry and the sound began to sound farther away. Levi saying "Harley baby, please stay with me" was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
I awoke to the sound of a really annoying beeping of machines. My eyes slowly fluttered open and Levi was the first person I saw. He was holding my hand and was leaning forward, resting his head on my hospital bed, fast asleep.
I looked around the room to see Kenney resting his head on his twin brother's shoulder looking as peaceful as can be. I glanced around looking for Jason, I saw him sitting in the far corner clutching onto my favorite stuffed bunny. He saw me awake and looked over at me and smiled. He walked over and handed me the bunny. I gave him a slight smile as I took it with my free hand, since my other one was currently being held hostage.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Alright, the pain's gone" I answered not sure if it was a good sign or not.
He smiled at me and I patted a spot on the bed so he could sit and talk with me.
"Jason?" I asked trying to hold back tears.
"Yes Harley"
"Is the baby okay?"
"Harley, I...I....I don't know, no one has told us anything." he answered with tears threatening in his eyes.
"Jason"
"Yes"
"I'm scared." I said fighting back my own tears.
"It's going to be okay Harley, I promise you that everything will end up okay in the end."
"What if its not okay and Levi leaves me."
"Why would you ever think Levi would leave you?"
"What if he's just staying with me because he feels he has to?" I asked, even though deep down I knew that could not possibly be true.
"Harley, I'm going to let you in on a little secret we had at a "Harley's Asleep Meeting""
"A what?"
"Sometimes we have meetings when you are asleep so we can talk about guy things."
I looked at him and rolled my eyes.
He stuck his tongue out at me, but continued "Anyways, Kenney and Levi had a little talk. Kenney likes you Harley, a lot, he always has and always will. But you want to know what he and I both know, there is no other guy better for you in the world than Levi. And there is no better girl in the world for him than you. He's changed Harley, he changed just for you. I bet he would never have changed for anyother girl. He also loves you with all his heart, and I think that because of that, Kenney's okay that you and Levi ended up together."
"Jason"
"Yes Harley?"
"Your the best you know that. You always have the best advice."
"I'm here anytime Harley"
"Thank you"
"I'm going to go track down your doctor so we can find out about our little rebel" He said as he got up and patted the top of my head.
I smiled as he left, however him leaving left an empty feeling in the room. Kenney and Levi were still asleep, I swear those two could sleep through anything.
