Hey, hey, hey! Thanks for the reviews. All the positive thoughts are helping me feel better. Y'all are awesome. : )

(Rocky's POV)

I woke up the next morning and instantly remembered the argument with my dad. He wanted me to break up with CeCe just because I wasn't paying attention and stepped on some glass. I don't care how spiritual or homophobic he is, he is not taking my CeCe or my dancing career away from me. I picked up my phone and texted CeCe like I told her I would.

'Hey, hey, hey baby. Are you up? -Rockstar'

When I didn't get an instant reply, I knew CeCe was still sleeping. I carefully got out of bed and got changed into a simple blue T-Shirt and dark blue jean shorts, slipping on a light blue and white converse (I can't really wear converse over my foot that's been wrapped in six feet of ace wrap) before grabbing my phone and crutches and going to the kitchen. Dad had already left for work and Mom was making some scrambled eggs.

"Morning, Rocky. Want some breakfast?" Mom asked. I shook my head as I pulled a mini bottle of orange juice out of the refrigerator.

"No. I'm going to CeCe's and we're gonna go out for breakfast like we planned yesterday." I said, my tone a bit harsher than I expected. Mom smiled softly.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry about last night. If there was anything I could do to change his mind, I would do it." Mom said. I glared at her.

"You could've at least spoken up and defended me and CeCe." I snapped. Mom sighed.

"I know, sweetie. I'm sorry." I sighed this time.

"It's fine. I'm sorry for snapping, but I love CeCe and you guys aren't going to stop me from seeing her or dancing on the show." I said. Mom smiled at me.

"Looks like you're not the only one that can teach someone something new." She chuckled. I raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, confused.

"I mean..." Mom took her scrambled eggs off of the pan and onto a plate, shutting the stove off and looking back at me. "That throughout the years, CeCe's taught you how to stand up for yourself." I thought about it and realized she was right. If I didn't know CeCe and if I was dating another girl, Dad would've told me to break up with the girl and I would've done it immediately. But I'm not like that.

Not anymore.

I smiled, looking at my mother, who kissed me on the head.

"Go have breakfast with CeCe. I'll talk to Gary and let him know that you're not going anywhere before your dad goes in to talk to him." I smiled again.

"Thanks, Mom. I owe ya one." Mom chuckled and shook her head.

"Go see your girlfriend." She said. Didn't need to tell me twice. I turned to leave the kitchen when Mom stopped me again.

"Wait! Rocky, did you take your pain medicine for your foot?" Mom asked.

"No. It makes me sleepy. I take it before bed or I really need it." I said, leaving before she had a chance to say anything else. I opened the door and went down the hall to the elevator, smirking as I got inside.

ReCe: 2; Dr. Blue: 0

(CeCe's POV)

"I'LL GET IT, MOM!" I woke up to Flynn yelling. I groaned. My head was pounding and my ankle killed. It was probably just Deuce wanting to know when he needed to babysit Flynn anyway. I heard soft tapping on my door and I groaned, rolling over and pulling my blanket over my head, which I instantly regretted because it must've been 85 degrees in my room. I heard my door open and then closed it with a soft click before I felt someone sit softly on the side my bed so that I was facing the person a few seconds later. I just kept my eyes closed.

"Hey, hey, hey baby." I heard Rocky's soft voice say as she gently brushed my fire red hair out of my face, which I was happy for since it was tickling my nose. I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting to the light before groaning and quickly shutting my eyes. Rocky leaned down closer to me.

"Sweetie, are you ok?" She asked in a softy, concern lacing her tone. I shook my head.

"I don't feel good." I mumbled. I could imagine the concerned and confused look on her face, ya know since my eyes are still closed.

"Again? I thought you got over what you had at the cabin?" Rocky said.

"I thought I did too." I said, sitting up and forcing my eyes open against the light. Rocky was sitting on the bed so that her injured leg was resting on the bed, but she wrapped her arms around me and held me. I snuggled into her carefully, not wanting to move her foot.

"It's fine, baby. You're not gonna hurt me." Rocky whispered. It's amazing how well that girl knew my thoughts. "Did you take your medicine this morning?" She asked. I shook my head.

"I think that's what's making me sick. My head is pounding like Flynn is banging something against it." I muttered. "So much for going out for breakfast." Rocky kissed my head.

"We can cope until lunch. I'm not hungry anyway and you hate eating breakfast." She stated. I shrugged.

"Good point." I said. "We can just order pizza from Crusty's later."

"See? It works." We both chuckled before I remembered that Rocky was upset last night.

"What did your dad say about us that upset you last night?" Rocky cringed. I guess she was hoping I forgot. Rocky sighed, not looking at me or saying anything. "Rocky, look at me." I said in a soft, gentle tone. Rocky still didn't look at me. I tilted her chin up gently so that she was forced to look at me. Eesh. That sounded harsh.

"Rockstar, what happened last night?"

"My dad wanted me to break up with you and to stop hanging around you, but I'm not and my mom's already got our backs, so we have nothing to worry about." Rocky said quickly. I couldn't really understand what she was saying.

"Wanna slow down and explain?" I asked. Rocky sighed, explaining everything that happened since I left. My jaw dropped open by the time she finished and she giggled, using her index and middle finger to softly push my chin up.

"Don't do that. You'll catch flies." She whispered. I gave her a disgusted and horrified look and she went into a fit of laughter.

"Glad I could amuse you..." I muttered sarcastically. Rocky laughed one more time before kissing me softly.

"Oh, you know I love you." Rocky smiled.

"Well, I would hope so." I smiled innocently, snuggling into her once again. "I love you too, Rocky." I whispered. Rocky kissed my head and rubbed my back comfortingly.

"Go back to sleep and see if you can sleep off that headache." she whispered back. I smiled once again, dozing off back to sleep.

Sorry this chapter wasn't all that eventful. Chapter 5 is gonna be a whole new day. As always, reviews are appreciated. : )
