While filming Glee, Chris's cast members notice that he isn't feeling too well. For once, he looks like he's about to pass out in one of the dance numbers and also Amber said that he had a light fever. The cast gets together to help Chris out.

7. Chapter 7

"Aaaaand, action!" Ryan spoke into his megaphone.

The cameras started rolling and the cast started dancing. All was going well so far. Ryan sat in his chair and watched happily as his cast was dancing. All of a sudden his eyes went to Chris. He was smiling, just like Ryan told him to do, but it looked like it was a forced smile. Ryan examined him closely from his chair and he noticed that the boy didn't look well at all. He was losing his color again and even though Chris was trying really hard to hide it, he looked exhausted. Ryan could tell by looking at his eyes. Ryan really cared for the boy but finishing up this number was his first priority. He needed to get it in as soon as possible. After the cast perfected dancing this number, he would immediately send Chris home and give him a day off for tomorrow. The boy really looked like he needed it. Plus, the sooner he got better, the sooner he could start rehearsing some scenes with Jane Lynch and those were always fun to shoot.

The cast finished dancing and the cameras stopped rolling.

"Ok guys that was good. I'd like to do it again though. There were some minor mistakes in there that you need to fix."

Some groans were heard from the cast by they all listened and got right back to their starting positions.

Ryan glanced at Chris to see how he was doing. He saw that he was sitting down on the floor with his hands wrapped around his stomach looking really tired. This made Ryan even more worried. He felt bad for Chris, but he needed this last number to complete the episode so he could hand it over to FOX. Ryan thought of telling Chris to sit out for this shooting but the boy hadn't come up to complain to him about anything so Ryan just assumed that he was ok.

Chris got up with the rest of his cast mates to start shooting once again. Again, Ryan shouted action in his megaphone and the cameras started rolling.

While Chris was dancing he caught Ryan looking at him. Chris smiled back but felt really pressured how Ryan was only focusing on him. He decided (no matter how sick he felt) to dance the best he could; just to show Ryan that he could still perform his best even though he felt a little sick.

Ryan took note that Chris picked up the pace a little. His dance moves were much stronger and he had a very enthusiastic grin on his face. Ryan was impressed. For a sick boy who had a fever of 101.3˚F this morning, Chris was dancing pretty well. Ryan now felt less concerned as he moved his focus to some other cast members in the dance.
