Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or the cast. This is just a made up story.
Caroline had been kept in the hospital for the rest of the week. It was now Saturday, the day of her cheer competition which she wouldn't be going to. When she woke up that morning, she didn't want to feel sad so she thought about all the visitors that had come to see her over the week. Lea had brought a lot of mint ice cream, Amber had brought a bunch of magazines, Jenna had brought her some movies, Jane and Jayma had brought her some books, and all the boys had brought her a million and one flowers. The best gift of all was from Naya and Heather. They had gotten her a pair of crutches. But not just any kind. They had zebra print all over them! It was duck tape but still! Who would have Zebra crutches? A lot of her friends had stopped by too. Riley came every day, some girls from the cheer squad, Shay Mitchell and Ashley Benson had visited her. They brought her the whole first season of Pretty Little Liars on DVD. The most shocking visitor was Luke.
*Flash back*
Her parents had left the room to go get some food and stop home to change and take a shower. Caroline was sitting in the hospital bed reading a magazine when she saw him walk into the room. He had on his football leather man jacket and some jeans on. Caroline put the magazine down on her bed and moved over so he could sit.
"Hi." She said sweetly.
"I'm sorry." He spit out.
"What?"
"I'm so sorry Car. I'm sorry for breaking your heart. I'm sorry for not trusting you. I'm so so sorry for not being there for you. Dating Olivia for that little time was of the biggest mistakes of my life. After I left, I had come back to find you gone and I was crushed. Olivia dragged me up into her room and convinced me that me and her were meant to be together and I believed her. I regretted saying yes right after it left my mouth." Luke grabbed her hands and looked her in the eyes. "Caroline, I have never stopped loving you. Seeing you in school was the hardest thing I ever had to go through. When Riley told me you had taken the fall, I knew I had to come see you and talk to you. Please, I am begging you. Please, take me back. You...you are the other half of me. I can't function without you. I think Sophie misses you to. She doesn't like to be with me anymore." Both the teens laughed. "I love you and I think I always will." Caroline looked back into his eyes. She smiled and kissed him. He pulled back and brushed a piece of hair away from her face. "I love you."
"I love you too" She said just above a whisper. She kissed him again and gave him a hug. He laid down next to her.
"So I'm taking that as a yes then?" She smiled then kissed him again.
"Yes. A million times yes."
*End of Flashback*
Caroline was pulled out of her thoughts by the sight of her whole cheerleading team, walking into her room. She was reading American Cheerleader. Riley hugged her.
"We just wanted to come see you before we left for the competition."
"Thanks you guys. Are you still going to do the Kesha routine?"
"No. We are going to do the "Every Time We Touch" instead. Everyone is still kind of shaken up about the accident."
"Good luck guys. Go get me a trophy. I'm so proud of all of you. I'll be watching." All the girls laugh. Before they all left, each girl gave Caroline a hug. After everyone left, Caroline decided that she wanted to watch some TV. She turned on to E! and E! News was on.
"In latest news, Mark and Dianna Salling's daughter Caroline took a bad cheerleading accident that landed her in the hospital. Dianna tweeted saying she had broken her ankle, wrist and knee cap. We wish her all the best in recovering." Caroline was shocked. "Wow. They just talked about me on live TV. Oh my god! That is so cool." Mark and Dianna came back into the room with a bunch of food in hand.
"Hey baby girl. I just saw the cheer team leave. Everything okay?"
"Yeah Dad. They just wanted to say that they'll miss me and I told them good luck." He nodded and handed her a bagel with cream cheese. Caroline looked at her mother. "When can we leave this place? I need to go home?"
"The doctor said maybe later today if everything is going in the right direction." Caroline just turned back to her magazine. "By the way Car, I called your principle and he set up so that your friend Jared, is going to bring you all of your school work and kind of tutor you on what you are going to miss."
"I love Jared! He is like my best friend ever." Everyone finished eating and all was quiet so Caroline decided she was going to take a quick nap before she has to watch the competition. After half an hour, Caroline opened her eyes to see that Luke, Heather, and Naya were in her room but not her parents.
"Naya?" She said while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Oh your awake. Your mom and dad had to go to set for a quick second to talk to Ryan about this whole situation." Caroline just nodded her head and waved at Heather. Luke came walking over and gave her a kiss on the check.
"Hey Babe."
"Hey yourself. Can you pass me the remote? I think the competition will be starting soon." When she got the remote, she turned on the TV and went to the channel that was broadcasting it. As soon as she saw it she broke down. Luke wrapped his arms protectively around her small frame to the best of his ability. Naya and Heather realized that they might want a moment alone so they left to go take a walk. Caroline hugged him tightly. He looked at her and wiped the tears out from under her eyes and giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead. After she finally stopped crying, they turned back to the screen that was in front of them.
After the competition was over, Caroline and her team had gotten 2nd place, only to lose by some no-name team from North Dakota. Mark and Dianna had returned just after her team has performed and told Luke he could go home now. He said no thanks and that he was going to stay with Caroline before he had to go back to New York to be with his own family. Doctor Kyle walked in and told that she is being discharged and can go home whenever they feel like that day. As soon as Caroline heard the news, she thanked God since she had hated hospitals ever since she was a little girl. Mark and Luke carried everything out to the car while Dianna helped Caroline get into a wheel chair since she couldn't walk.
"So are you and Luke together?" Caroline blushed.
"Yeah mom. When you guys left the other day, he came and apologized and told me that he still loved me. I still love him so I took him back and we are just going to take things slow this time around."
"Aw baby, I'm so happy for you. I told you it would work out." Dianna gave her daughter a hug. "So, when we leave the hospital, there is some press waiting to get some pictures of you so be ready. Your father is actually probably talking to them right now." Caroline just nodded and rested her head back on the wheel chair. It was going to be a long four months.
3 Months Later
Not being able to cheer everyday was one of the hardest things Caroline had to give up while being in two casts. She had returned to school a month after the incident only to be greeted by a whole bunch of people wanting to sign both of her casts and asking her a million questions. She was in the wheel chair still while at school so, since Riley was in every single one of her classes, she wheeled her best friend around the gigantic school. It was a one layered school, thank God, which made it a whole lot easier. Olivia had taken over her spot as Capitan and the cheer team was a wreck. No one like having Olivia control and boss them around and they were becoming one hot mess.
After another month of going to school, Caroline got the okay to take off her wrist cast since that had healed. She had to wear a brace now but only when she was at school. She had also been told that her knee was healed so they took that cast off and just gave her an ankle cast since that still wasn't done healing. Finally, it was time to break out those Zebra crutches Naya and Heather had gotten her.
That same week Caroline got the casts off, their issue of People's Magazine had been released. The family of four was on the cover of one of the most popular magazines in America. Each member in the cast had gotten it. Some kids at Caroline's school had seen it and asked her to sign it which felt very weird. Gossip at the high school spreads like a simple cold so by the end of the day, she couldn't even get to her locker without being asked about it.
Chloe was adjusting to having a sister who needed more attention than normal. Casually, she would get jealous but, she just shook it off. At school, she was loving it. School was almost over for both of the girls which meant Summer! Chloe had personally always loved summer number one, because her birthday was in July, and number two, she could go swimming anytime she wanted to. This summer was going to be different considering that her parents were going on an international tour! She was actually going to leave the state, meet her daddy's parents, and ride a plane, for the very first time ever! This little 6 year old was excited.
