Chapter Eight

Courtney's POV

"She's just fine. The extra physical activity just caused her to become light-headed and faint. There is nothing wrong with her. You can take her home now." Dr. Todd explained.

I was just sitting in a room in the hospital. My parents had brought me in to Dr. Todd after Duncan called them. He handled my fainting pretty well.

"Princess, we are allowed to leave now." Duncan told me from the door.

"Good. I don't want to be here any longer than I absolutely have to. It's bad enough I have to be here for treatments," I said and hopped off the bed.

My mom and dad were waiting out front with the car. Duncan and I got in the back seats and we went back to my house.

"So after that scare, I think we are going to go back to work." My father informed me as he and my mom dropped us off at my house.

"Okay. Bye daddy. Bye mom," I said to them before getting out of the car.

We walked into my house to continue our morning.

Duncan's POV

"I have to go to practice today." Courtney told me.

That raised a red flag in my mind.

"Are you sure that you should be going to practice after this?" I asked her gently. I knew I couldn't force Courtney to stay home from cheer practice. She would just go without me.

"I know I can't really do any physical activity. I'll just lead and watch." She promised.

"What if something happens? Are you sure you feel up to it today?" I pressed.

"Duncan I'll be fine." She again promised.

I had no choice but to take her to our high school.

Once again, I was watching Courtney lead practice. Thank goodness I hadn't seen her practice any tumbling or doing any cheers. Right now she was showing everyone how to do back handsprings correctly.

"Say, Courtney, I was wondering if you could show us how to do a back handspring yourself. It would be so much easier to lead by example." Heather spoke up.

Crap what was she getting at?

"I don't think that's such a good idea Heather." I shouted from my seat across the room.

"Come on Courtney. You haven't done anything today. I don't think it would hurt you to just do one trick." Heather continued. I could see Courtney debating the idea in her head.

"Come on Court, just one handspring." Another girl added.

"Okay, maybe just one." Courtney caved.

Suddenly it was like everything was happening in slow motion again.

I saw princess walk to one end of the tumbling mats. She got ready, ran, and did a back handspring. And that's where everything went wrong again.

You see, when doing a lot of physical exercise, like tumbling or gymnastics, wigs tend to become loose or even fall off.

Courtney's fell off in the middle of the mat and she didn't even notice. Everyone else did.

"Oh my gosh."

"Courtney what the hell?"

"Whoa."

"Holy Crap."

Those were just a few of the responses from her team. I looked at Courtney for her reaction, but she wasn't even in the gym.

I just grabbed her wig and headed for the door.

"Heather, you're a bitch." I said and burst through the doors to go find Courtney.

Yay! Another chapter done. It's been a while! Anyway, Review my darlings review!
