Chapter 17~In Between!
When Selena came to she was in a hospital bed. And her family was watching over her. She felt like she had been hit by a ton of bricks. Her head spun a bit. She gasps remembering all that happened. She had last been at the concert. And she was no longer there. What on earth happened??
Chris was talking to her father and her sister. No one noticed she had woken up yet. Selena watches on tv there was Entertainment Tonight on there.
And there was Selena all passed out on stage in Michael's embrace. She was being rushed off the stage by Michael as fans looked on with worry. What on earth happened??
♥☆♥
"Selena! Selena is up" calls out Suzette.
"What happened? Why are we not at the concert?" worries Selena.
"You had a slight panic attack. And you passed out on the stage" her father explains.
"But Michael what a hero. He rushed to you right as you nearly hit the stage floor. It was so romantic!" gushes Suzette.
"Michael?" she says as her cheeks grow rosy.
"You two are all over the news" says Chris. "I should be the one saving my fiancé. I knew this was to soon for you" he worries.
"Chris I was fine. But then I panicked. It was not your fault at all" she vows. "you had now way of knowing" she says.
"Michael, did" he pouts.
"Dad mom everyone can I talk to Chris alone?" asks Selena.
"Sure we will go tell the doctor you are awake" says her mother. They head out of the room.
"Chris this was my fault. Not yours" Selena promises him. "Michael was helping. No one thinks you were not helping. You did not know" she promises him.
"You have not heard all of what the press says. Apparently they think you and Michael might have a romance in the works" he grunts with anger.
"Chris that is silly! We are only friends. And you and I are getting married" she points out.
"Selena, someone is here to see you" Suzette tells her.
"Send them in" she sighs feeling frustrated.
Michael comes in. There was a guard outside the door to keep fans out.
"MJ thanks for saving our girl" Chris gracefully says as he shakes Michael's hand.
"No worries. I will always be there for her and you all" he promises Chris.
"I will let you two talk" Chris says as he leaves the room. Selena could tell he was still upset.
Michael makes his way to her side. He sits beside her.
♥☆♥
"Thank you for saving me" she shyly says.
Michael grins. "Any time you need saving I will be there"
"What is the press saying? That we have a romance going on?" laughs Selena.
"Yes it is on the news" sighs Michael.
"Chris was upset about it" Selena says.
"Did you tell him we have kissed? About your mixed feelings?" he wonders.
"No, please don't that would make things worries" she frets.
"I will not say a word. I saw you falling. I could not let you get hurt" he states. "that was all. Nothing more. Nothing less to it"
"I know. You know how the press is" she says. He nods.
"I am glad you are better. If you need to call this off we can" he says. "I do not want you to get worse" he worries over her.
She places a hand on his. "Michael, I want to. I am ready for it. Maybe I should open with you. Make it better. Do Dreaming Of You and see how it goes? I always do fine when you are near" she admits. "I sound so dumb" she giggles.
"No I get that. I am glad I can comfort you Selena" he softly says.
They smile at one another.
"Let the fans know we will redo the concert tomorrow night" she declares.
"You, sure?" he asks.
"You opening with me?" she asks him.
"You got a deal" he agrees.
They shake on it.
The doctor comes in to check on her.
"You had a mild panic attack. It can make you pass out" the doctor tells her. "otherwise you are fine. You can go today"
"Thank you sir" she gratefully says.
"Is there some medication you can give her for those? Would it help before concerts?" wonders Michael.
"Why yes there are things she can do. And tricks. I will print them out. I can write a script if you need it" offers the doctor.
"Yes please" says Selena.
The others come in.
♥☆♥
"What did he say Selena?" Chris worries.
"I can leave. I will be fine Chris" she vows. "I have new meds. I also plan on a new concert to make up for that one"
"But Selena are you sure you are ready?" worries her father.
She nods. "Michael is doing an opening song with me. I will do fine" she adds.
"That is wonderful good idea" says AB.
Chris winces.
"What?" asks Selena.
"Nothing" he says with a tensed up jaw.
They soon see Selena out of there. She was glad to be checking out of the ER. Michael and Chris lead her out of the ER. She goes back to rest at the hotel. Michael was going to talk to the press to let them know she was doing a new concert the next night. And that Selena was fine.
Chris orders her favorite foods to eat inside for the night. After her shower she feels more like herself.
She sees Chris watching the news play Michael whisking her off the stage. She to was in aw of how Michael knew she needed him. And how he rescued her. Chris was beating himself up that it was not him rescuing her.
♥☆♥
"Hey" Selena softly greets him.
"The food will be here soon" he tells her.
"Thanks for being there for me tonight" says Selena.
"Not as much as Michael was" sighs Chris.
"Chris baby come on" sighs Selena.
"Michael knows you better" he grumbles.
"Not true" says Selena. "Chris come on"
"I don't want to talk about it" he mutters. He turns the tv off.
"Let's talk about this" she begs.
"No I don't want to" he mutters.
"You can be so stubborn" sighs Selena.
Someone knocks on the door.
"Room service!" they call out.
"Food!" Chris declares.
They get their food. And eat. Chris hardly talks to her during the meal. But she expected that. He needed to work out his own issues.
