Chapter nine: The show must go on part two
Hannah has just finish getting dress in the first outfit that she is wearing in tonight concerts. The outfit is a purple and black horizontal stripe shirt, a three-layer black skirt and white military boots. In addition the shirt is sleeveless on the left and has a butterfly style sleeve on the right. The three-layer skirt has purple, white and sky blue stars on it. Also, the white military boots have silver stars on them. Hannah is looking into the full length mirror on the locker room wall and she is putting on a white belt. The belt has a tan oval shape buckle. Hannah stomach starts gurgling and she is wishing that she had skipped dinner, because she had upset stomach since eaten the meal. Lola is laying on a bench that between two rows of lockers, which is the third and fourth rows. She is thinking about the pregnancy and what she wants to do.
Hannah has finished putting on the belt and she looks in the mirror one last time. She sees that she looks peaked. Hannah walks over to the chair that is at the makeup table. In addition Hannah has her right hand on her stomach and left hand on her forehead. Hannah reaches the chair and pulls the chair out using her right hand. Hannah takes a seat on the chair and then lean back in the chair. Then Hannah put her hand on her stomach. Simultaneously Hannah stomach starts gurgling again.

"Hannah's make your stomach stop gurgling, because I can't think with your stomach making that sound?"

"I am sorry Lola, my stomach been upset since I ate dinner. I don't think the chickpea salad, fruit salad, sweet potato, turkey and apple pie agree with my stomach. I think that I should have just eaten a baked potato and nothing else (belches twice)."

"Hannah's that is not lady like and it smells awful!"

"Excuse me, that chickpea salad is really disagreeing with my stomach tonight!"

"I need to go pee really badly, so I am going to use the restroom. Also, you should touch up your makeup, because you are looking very pale!"

"Ok!"

Lola sits up on the bench and then stands up from the bench. She heads to the restroom sections of the locker room. Simultaneously Hannah gets to work on redoing her makeup. Hannah is trying to block out how upset her stomach is. Also, is hoping that her upset stomach is a result of being nervous about the benefit concert tonight and not part of the bug she is fighting.
A few minutes later, Lola walks out from the restroom sections, as Hannah finish touching up her makeup. She looks at Hannah and then Lola walks over to the bench she was laying on before having to use the restroom. Lola takes a seat on the bench and start talking to Hannah.

"I never notice till tonight, but I think that all school locker rooms look alike. Also, all locker rooms have the odors of dirty gym socks and a moldy smell too."

"You are so pregnant, because I don't smell the gym socks or the moldy smell."

"You are sick and your nose is congestion. So you could not smell Jackson's nasty fart, if your brother were here in the locker room and let one!"

"That not true sniffling, the dead and buried could smell Jackson's fart!"

"Ok you get me on that one!"

Both of the teens start laughing, which cause Hannah to start coughing. Hannah grabs a couple tissues out of the travel pack of tissues that is on the table. Hannah coughs up a large glob of greenish yellow mucus into the tissue. A few minutes later, Hannah stop coughing up mucus and Lola and Hannah hears feet steps coming up to the girls' locker room door. A few second later there is a knock on the locker room door.

"Ahem, who is it?"

"It is your father. Are you dress, because Isabella Sara Rose, Mr. Tommy Rose, Mrs. Kathy Rose, younger sister Grace Izzy Rose and twin brothers' Adam Lee and Jason Lee Rose's are with me? The six of them want to come see you?"

"I am dress and the seven of you can come in."

"Ok."

Hannah grabs another tissue from the travel park of tissue on the table and then blows her nose. Simultaneously Mr. Montana opens the locker room door and then he then walks into the locker room/Hannah dressing room. Mr. Montana is following into the locker room by Isabella, Tommy, Kathy, Grace, Adam and Jason. Once in the locker room Mr. Montana, Tommy, Kathy, Grace, Adam and Jason walk up to Hannah and Lola. Hannah and Lola have both just stand up from the bench and the chair they were sit on. However, Isabella hangs back, so she is at lest 6 feet from Hannah to help prevent her from catching Hannah cold. Hannah and Lola see the twin boys first and the two girls notice the twins are tall and have green eyes. They also notice that the twin boys have chestnut color hair. Mr. Rose walks up beside the twins and Hannah and Lola sees that the twins look like they father. Lola and Hannah then see Isabella and Grace, who both have curling light brown hair and brown eyes. Hannah and Lola notice that the girls look just like they mother. Lola and Hannah notice that Isabella is wearing a surgical mask that is lavender and is to help prevent her from catching any germs. The mask has Hannah Montana spelled out in gold studs across the front of the mask. Then Lola and Hannah notice that Isabella is small for her age, which is sixteen years old as of yesterday. Grace who is only five years old comes running over to Hannah and gives her a big hug. Hannah hugs Grace back and the little girl gives her a huge smile. Hannah smiles at Grace and simultaneously Mrs. Rose walks over to Hannah and her youngest child. Mrs. Rose then unwraps her daughter arms from Hannah legs and picks up Grace. Grace looks at her mother and start talking.

"Hannah's hug me back."

"I know, Grace. Hannah's our family is very grateful for everything that you are doing to help us raises money for all of Isabella Sara Rose medical bill and medical need."

"It is the least that I could do for your family. You have made some of the best outfits that I wear on stage and to Hannah relation events. In fact all the outfits that I plan to wear tonight are ones that you have made for me. Have you heard back from the house and business insurance companies on if they are going to pay to rebuild your house and the clothing boutique?"

"Yes I have heard back from the house and business insurance companies. The insurance companies are paying to rebuilding the house and clothing boutique. Also, the outfit you are wearing right now looks great on you. Isabella was right that the stars on the skirt and boots would make you look older, if paired with the black and purple horizontal stripe shirt. That is sleeveless on the left and butterfly style sleeve on the right. I thought that the stars on the skirt and boots might be too young for someone your age. I guess I need to listen to my daughter more.

"That great to hear that the insurance companies are paying to rebuild the house and the clothing boutique. I love this outfit Kathy. Isabella's I love the surgical mask that you are wearing. How are you doing?"

"Thank you and I'm doing all right. My lung performance was down for a couple of weeks. However, my lung performance is better, after spent a couple days in the hospital and having tests run. It turns out that I am allergic to my aunt and my uncles' cats and kittens, which were making me have allergic induced asthma attack. So I, my mom, dad, brothers and sister have left my aunt and uncle house and are now staying at my grandmother Rose's house."

"I am sorry to hear that you are allergic to cats. However, it is good that you were able to get your lung performance back up. It is getting near to the show time and that means that I need to aks all of you to leave the locker room. So I can finish getting ready for the concert. However, I will see Isabella, Tommy, Kathy, Grace, Adam and Jason's again, when I call the six of you to join me on the stage."

"(Rose family) Ok, Hannah."

Isabella, Tommy, Kathy and Grace turn around then start walking to the door of the locker room right away. However, Adam and Jason take one last long look at Lola and Hannah before they turn around and walk to the door of the locker room. Mr. Montana looks at his daughter and he can tell Hannah needs sometime alone with just Lola before the show, so he leaves the locker room too.
Once the locker room door has closed, Hannah takes a seat on the chair that by the makeup table and puts her head down on the table. Then Hannah starts coughs into her right hand. Lola walks over to her best friend and feels Hannah's forehead.

"I think your fever went back up and you are starting to look green!"

"That what I thought Lola gagging."

Hannah stands up from the chair and puts her right hand over her mouth, as running into the restroom section of the locker room. She runs into the first restroom stall and kneels down in front of the toilet. She is just in time, because she starts vomiting into the toilet right away. Lola comes up behind her best friend and holds her hair, so it does not get in her face. When Hannah has stop vomiting, Lola lets go of her best friends' hair and Hannah stands up. Hannah then walks over to the restroom sink and turns the water on. Then rinses her mouth out and she is hoping that she will not end up having to throwing up, when she on stage. Hannah turns the water off and then Lola gives her a breath mint.

"Thanks for the breath mint."

"No big deal and you would do the same thing for me. However, Hannah, maybe you should cancel the concert?"

"It is too late to cancel the concert, I am going to have to tough it out tonight and do the show even though I am sick. However, on a different note, my stomach not upset any more."

"That is good that your stomach no longer upset and I hope it stays that way."

"Me too and I have to head out to the stage now because the band going to start playing soon."

"Ok."

Hannah and Lola walk to the door of the locker room and Lola open the door. Hannah walks out first and Lola follows her out of the locker room. Then the two of them walk to the door that lead outside to the football stadium. When they reach the outside doors, Mr. Montana opens one of the doors. Hannah walks out the door first and then Lola walks out the door. Mr. Montana hands Hannah her microphone and he looks at his daughter. He can tell that Hannah is not feeling well at all. However, he knows that Hannah (a.k.a. Miley) is not going to let be sick, stop her from doing the show. He watches Hannah, as she walks toward the steps that lead up to the stage. Mr. Montana (a.k.a. Robby) is hoping that his daughter will make it through the show, because his daughters' look a little green to him. The band starts to play the first song, which is life's what you make it. Hannah runs up the steps and onto the stages, then starts singing the song and dancing. Several minutes later the first song ends and the band start to play the second song right away. Hannah start signing Just Like You and when the second songs end, the band gives Hannah a moment to catch her breath and get a drink of water.
Once Hannah has caught her breath and takes a few drinks of water, the band starts to play the song I miss you. Hannah start singing the song, I miss you and starts dancing the dance that goes with the song. When Hannah finish singing I miss you, the band start playing the song bigger than us. Hannah start dancing first and then start to sing the song. Once she finishes singing the song bigger than us, the crowd starts screaming.

"(The whole crowd) we love you, Hannah Montana."

At the same time Hannah walks to the front of the stages and puts the microphone on the microphone stands. Hannah waits for the crowd to quiet down and use the moment to catch her breath. Also, she is trying to avoid sneezing. However, she is unable to avoid sneezing, she sneezing five time in a row. The drummer Jay stands up and he walks over to Hannah. When Jay's reaches Hannah's, he hands the singer a tissue and Hannah takes the tissue from him.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."

Hannah blows her nose several times and by the time she has finish blowing her nose the crowd has because quiet. Hannah grabs her water bottle and after taking the cap off, she takes a few sips of water. She puts the cap back onto the water bottle and set the bottle of water down by the microphone stand.

"Thanks for coming to the concert tonight. All the money from the ticket sales, concession stands and vendor stands' sales are going to help Isabella Rose and her family. So the family can pay for Isabella medical bills and the medicines that she takes every day. Ahem, also it will help pay for the device Isabella use to help clear her airway, which is call the vest. This device has two parts the air pulse generator and inflatable vest. It has two tubes that connect the vest to the generator and makes the vest vibrates. I am going to let Isabella and her family come onto the stage now. Isabella will tell you about the vest and what an average day is like for her. As Isabella and her family talk to you, I am going to go change into my second outfit of the night. Also, I am sorry about the sneezing fit that I had a few minutes ago and having to clear my throat. I am fighting a really bad head and chest cold right now."

"(The audience) That fine Hannah!"

Simultaneously the Rose's family stands up from their front row seats. Then the six of them walk over to the stage staircase. Then the Rose's family walks up the step of the staircase and then walk onto the stage. Isabella walks up to the microphone stand and Hannah's lower the stand for Isabella, because the microphone stand is too high for Isabella. Also, Mr. Rose, Mrs. Rose, Jason, Adam and Grace are standing behind Isabella and Grace is in mom arms'.
Once Isabella start talking, Hannah walks to the back of the stages and then she walks down the steps of the staircase. A minute later she heads through the doors that lead into the gym hallway that the locker rooms are in. Hannah heads into the girls' locker room and once in the locker room, Hannah finds that Lola has lied out her second outfit for her. The outfit is a pair of blue spandex legging, a tight black tank top and a long loose fitting black tank top. The loose-fitting tank top has black studs, square, circles and has odd shape on it. Also, the square, circles and odd shapes are in the colors pink, blue and yellow. Also, Hannah notices that Lola has put the platform boots on the floor next to her outfit. The boots are silver, but the heel sections of each of the boot are clear. Hannah walks over to the makeup table and grabs a tissue. Then blows her nose several times. Hannah grabs a second tissue and start coughing up mucus into a tissue. Once she has stopped coughing, Hannah throws the use tissues into the trash can and this Included the tissues that she used on stage. Hannah open her purse and then get a cough drop out of the purse. She unwraps the cough drop and then puts the cough drop into her mouth. Hannah drops the cough drop wrapper into the trash can and then she walks over to the first bench, which is where the outfit is lying out. Then Hannah gets changes and when she has finish getting dress, she takes a seat the bench and put the boots on. Once her boots are on Hannah sees Lola standing across from her with a worry look on her face.

"How are you holding up?"

"I'm doing all right. I only had one sneeze fit and I had to clear my throat once. However, my throat is sore and my right knee is sore too, I am also having some tightness in my chest when I'm dancing. Also, I am still making a wheezing sound, but I think that I will make it through the show."

"How is your stomach doing?"

"It is a little upset again, but I don't think that I'm going to vomit!"

"That good, Hannah. Also it sounds like you keep the cold medicine down, since you are not coughing or sneezing every few seconds."

"I throw up mostly mucus and a little of dinner. How are you doing?"

"I am doing all right. I have not made up my mind on anything yet. However, I am lean toward having the baby, but I am not sure. I want to do some research online about all my options."

"That a good idea, I need to head back to the stage now."

"Ok."

Hannah and Lola leave the locker room and head to the football stadium. Lola stands next to Mr. Montana by the steps of the staircase, as Hannah walks onto the stage. Hannah waits for Isabella to finish talking and then walk up beside Isabella and her family. Isabella's step away from the microphone and Hannah takes the microphone off the microphone stands.

"Thanks for sharing your story Isabella and I hope that you and your family enjoy the rest of the concert."

Isabella, Mr. Rose, Mrs. Rose, Jason, Adam and Grace walk off the stage. Then the six of them walk over to the front row and then walk over to their seats. The band and Hannah wait for Isabella, Mr. Rose, Mrs. Rose, Jason, Adam and Grace to take their seats and then the band starts to play pumpin' up the party. Hannah starts singing the song, along with jumping up and down. However, when Hannah pushes off the stage floor and jump up for the third time Hannah feels and hears her right knee pop. Also, Hannah's right knee makes a creaking sound and she feels something tear above the right knee and below her right knee. When her feet hit the floor again, her right leg gives out and then Hannah falls onto the stage. However, she keeps singing the song, as she slower stands up and then walks over to the microphone stand. Also, she continues to sing, as putting the microphone onto the stand. In addition she uses the stand to support her weight. A short time later, Hannah finishes singing pumpin up the party and the band starts playing the song don't wanna be torn. Hannah's starts singing the song don't wanna be torn and simultaneously she takes the microphone off the stand. She then starts tenderly dancing the dance that goes with song, as hiding how much pain she is in. Also, she is hiding how awful she feels. Once the song ends she limps over to the band and all the band members give her a worried look.

"I want to change the song order of the songs. I am going to do three of the new songs next and in this order butterfly fly away, the climb and then Dream. Are you guys all right with that?"

"(The whole band) yes and are you all right?"

"Yes I am all right. I just twist my right knee and need to slow it down for a few minutes."

"(Band Members) that is fine."

Hannah walks over to the microphone stand and puts the microphone onto the stand. She looks at the band and they start playing butterfly fly away. Hannah starts to sing the first of the new songs that have never been sings at a concert before. She sings the next two songs and now it has reached the intermission. Hannah walks off the stages and looks for her father, but cannot find him. She walks up to the doors leading into the gym and walks through the left door. Once she in the locker room hallway of the gym, Hannah stop trying to hide how much pain she in and she limps down the hallway. She reaches the locker room door and then limps into the girls locker room. Hannah takes a seat on the first bench and puts her legs up. Hannah looks at her right knee and sees that her right knee is fatter then the left knee. In addition the right knee looks like her kneecap is now off to the outsides of the knee and not where it should be at.

"Lola will you grab me the orange dress that has the draped neckline and the short butterfly sleeves? Will you bring the dress over to me?"

"Sure Hannah, but maybe you should end the show early and go to the ER? Because your right knee is very swelling, also you can hardly walk on it. In addition it looks like you are in a lot of pain!"

"No, I am going to finish the show and what ER, there no hospital in town. The near hospital is two towns over!"

"Ok!"

Lola goes and gets the dress, as Hannah takes off the boots. Hannah slowly stands up, as Lola walks up to her with the orange dress in her left hand. Hannah takes the dress from Lola and then changes into the dress. A short time later Hannah takes a seat on the bench. Hannah tries to bend her right knee, but can only bend the knee a tiny bit. Simultaneously Lola is kneeling on the floor. She is going through the duffel bag with all the shoes in it. Also, Lola is holding up different pairs of shoes for Hannah to see.
A few minutes later Lola has been through half the bag and Hannah keeps shaken her head no to all of the shoes. Lola pulls a pair of gold flip-flops out and Hannah's shake her head yes. Lola stands up and walks over to her best friend and has the flip-flop in her right-hand. Lola set the flip-flops down in front of Hannah and Hannah slips her foot into the flip-flop. Also, Lola is looking at her best friend right knee and sees Hannah's right knee is swelling and the kneecap looks like it is out of place. In addition Lola notices that Hannah's right knee is starting to bruise.

"(Whispers) Miley's are you sure that you can walk and put pressure on the right leg long enough to finish the concert?"

"No, but I have to try Lilly. Can you grab me, a handful of tissues?"

"Sure."

"Thanks, sniffling."

Lilly walks over to the table and grabs a handful of tissues out of the travel pack of tissues. Then Lola walks over to her best friend and hand the tissues to her best friend. Hannah (a.k.a. Miley) takes the tissue for Lola (a.k.a. Lilly) and then Hannah blows her nose several times. When Hannah finish blowing her nose, Hannah starts coughing. Hannah puts a tissue over her mouth and when she has stopped coughing, she has coughed up three tissues full of mucus. Hannah limps over to the trash can and throws the tissues into the trash can.

"Can you bend your knee?"

"I can only bend the knee a tiny bit. Do you know where my dad is?"

"They are short staff at the concession stands, so he helping at the concession stand that on the visit team side of the football stadium."

"Ok, I hope that Jackson is enjoying his date tonight."

"I think Jackson is enjoying his date, because before I come back to the locker room, I show him kisses Jenny."

"Young love, I don't know what Jenny's see in my brother."

"Neither do I!"

"I am going to take a restroom break. Then I have to start walking out to the stage, because its going to take me awhile to make it outside and up the steps leading up to the stage."

"Ok."

Hannah limps into the restroom sections and Lola watches her best friend, as Hannah walks away from here. Lola knows that Hannah should not be putting weight on her right leg. However, knows that her best friend is not going to listen to her, so Lola does not say anything.
Two minutes later Hannah's with Lola help is heading out of the locker room and to the doors that lead outside. Once they reach the doors, Lola opens the right door and Hannah limps out of the building and over to the staircase. Hannah looks back at Lola who is standing by the door and takes a deep breath. She then starts going up the stairs and when Hannah steps onto the stage, she sees that everyone is in their seats. Hannah walks over to the band to let the band know what songs she singing in the last half of the show. Also, she let the band members know the order that she is going to sing the songs in. Hannah then walks over to the microphone stand and turns the microphone on.

"Let get this concerts going again. Also, remember once the concert ends you can still buy from the vendor stands. All the money that is earn tonight is going to a very good cause, which to help someone from your own town that really needs our help!"

The band starts to play and Hannah starts to sing the song let's do this. However, she skips doing the dance that goes with the song because of her right knee being injury. Once the song end the band starts the next song right away and Hannah start singing the song old blue jeans. By now Mr. Montana has join Lola's back stage and by the doors leading into the gym. Her looks at his daughter and see that Hannah is not doing the dance that goes with the song. Also, he notices that her right knee is very swelling.

"Did Hannah's twist her knee?"

"No, I think Hannah really hurt her right knee on the third jump and when she fell down, as singing the song pumpin' up the party."

"That is not good. However, if she continuing the show then her knee must not be bothering her too much."

Back on stage, the song old blue jeans have ended. The band has starts to play the song you and me together and Hannah start singing the song. Lola and Mr. Montana are watching Hannah closely, as she sings the song you and me together. The song ends and Hannah grabs her water bottle off the stage floor. Then Hannah takes the cap off the bottle. Hannah takes several sips of water, before putting the cap back onto the bottle. Then Hannah set the water bottle down by the microphone stand and looks at the band to let then know she is ready. The band starts to play you'll always find your way back home and Hannah begins to sing the song. When the song ends, everyone in the audience stands up and starts clapping. Hannah stay standing by the microphone that is on the microphone stand and waits for the crowd to quiet down, before she speaks again.

"I like to thank everyone for coming tonight and I have something else that I want to tell everyone. I want to tell the truth about who is Hannah Montana, because I know in my heart that I can trust my hometown of Crowley Corners. Also, I know that you will not tell the newspapers, news stations, magazine or paparazzo who Hannah Montana is. I used a different name for my music career and I do this so that I can have a normal life. It allows me to be able to go to school and hang with my friends at the mall, at the beach, et cetera. If the world knows the truth, I will not be able to go anywhere without being follow by the paparazzo. However, I cannot lie to my friends in my hometown anymore, so this is who Hannah really is!"

Hannah pulls the blonde wig and wig cap off her head, which reveal her brunette hair that is pull up in a ponytail. She set the wig and wig cap down next to the water bottle on the stage floor. Then looks at everyone that is in the audience and that she knew since she was a baby.

"Hannah Montana is really Miley Stewart from Crowley Corners. I did this concert tonight because I wanting to help a friend of mine from childhood and her family."

"(The whole crowd) We will keep your secret Miley/Hannah!"

"Ahem, Thank you for keeping my secret ah-choo and for being a great audience."

"(The crowd) Bless you!"

"Thanks for coming out tonight to help the Rose's family! Ah-coo, I want to wish everyone a safe drive home tonight and I hope everyone enjoy the rest of the weekend!"

Miley grabs her bottle of water, wig and wig cap off the stage floor. Then she limps toward the staircase that is at the back of the stage and that lead to the gym doors. When she reaches the steps of the staircase, she starts to walk down the stairs. However, her right knee gives out and Miley feels something tear above her right knee and below her right knee again. Also, Miley's right knee locks in the straight positions. Miley's father rash over to his daughter and then he picks up Miley from the steps of the staircase. He notices that only the left knee is bent over his arms and the right leg has stays straight. Lilly opens the right door, as Robby walks toward the double doors carrying Miley in his arms. Robby walks through the door and Lilly follow her best friend dad into the hallway. Lilly speeds up and she gets ahead of Miley dad. Then Lilly opens the locker room door. Robby walks into the locker room and he sits his daughter down on the first bench. The bench is between two rows of locker that are the first and second rows. Miley puts her right leg up on the bench and starts crying.

"Lilly's will you go find an ice pack or find a bag and some ice?"

"Yes and I will go right now."

Lilly runs out of the locker room and simultaneously Mr. Stewart kneels down next to his daughter. He looks at his daughter, who is crying into her hands. Miley is crying so hard that it is making her have a hard time catching her breath.

"Daddy's I can't bend my right knee and when I injured the knee jumping up, I felt something tear above my right knee and blow the right knee. Also, I hear the knee pop and make a creaking sound, coughing. When the knee gave out going down the steps I felt something tear above my right knee and something tears below my right knee for a second time."

"It looks like your kneecap has pop out of place and by what you told me it sounds like you have torn your quadriceps tendon and your patellar tendon."

"That does not sound good ah-choo!"

"It is not good!"

At the same time Lilly comes back into the locker room and she has a bag of ice in her left hand. Lilly walks over to Miley and Robby and set the bag of ice onto Miley's right knee. Simultaneously Jackson and his date Jenny walk into the locker room. Then Jackson and Jenny walk over to Lilly, Miley and Robby.

"Dad the head worker of the vendor stands and concession stands need you to come talk with them. So they can tell you how much they earn and add the money to the total from the ticket sales. Then you and Hannah need to give the money to the Rose's family."

"I will go talk to them right now and I will give the Rose's family the money, because Miley cannot put weight on her right knee without it giving out."

Robby stands up from the floor and then he walks over to the door of the locker room. Robby reaches the door and opens the door. Then he walks out of the locker room and Jenny and Jackson leaves the locker room to, which only leaves Lilly and Miley in the locker room. Lilly gets to work gathering up the outfits.
