Dancing with a Star

24. The Show Part 1

Most people would think the fact that Peta taught me the routine that I should dance it with Peta, but Evelina created our hip-hop routine and I will only do this with her by my side. It was ten minutes until show time and everyone was buzzing, except myself.
“You didn’t want to leave either, did you?” Peta asked, scaring the crap out of me.
“Heck no. He just woke up and called me ‘daddy’. How is Angelina going to get her out of there?”
“She has her ways, trust me. I told her that her back-up, because I couldn’t do it would be Emily.”
I gagged and shook my head, making her laugh.
The contestants were all lined up, me being last and all by myself.
The pro dance had just ended and all of the pros and contestants were dancing when they were called.
When they called our name, I walked out with my head held high.
“Now, as some of you notice, Evelina is missing.”
I looked beside me, pretending to be shocked by this news.
“Niall, where is Evelina?”
“She has had some personal issues that I feel she should explain, and she does in the package.”
The whole crowd went dead silent.
“Alright, well, stay tuned for more information on that.”
I nodded, making the crowd cheer.
They then kicked the show in gear. As our first dance became closer and she still hadn’t arrived, I grew worried.
Had that not worked?
Had she fallen asleep?
I called Angelina, worry consuming me.
“Hello?”
“Where is she? We are due to go on in the next ten minutes!”
“She should be there. Go check hair and dressers,” she said before hanging up.
I groaned and turned around, only to see a bright-smiled, fully dressed Evelina right in front of me.
She had her hair curled and thickened, looking almost permed, but also reminded me of eighties hair. She had her make-up natural looking and no shoes on, which I didn’t either.
“You look,” I breathed, “breathtaking.”
She blushed, looking down at her outfit.
“Thanks, but we must go get ready to kill this,” she said, grabbing my hand and directing me to the spot for the next up.
We did a quick-run through of our contemporary, which was our choice of a dance redo. We were doing the week of Famous Dances, and we decided to do the dance from Ed Sheeran’s music video for Thinking Out Loud.
I actually had gotten Ed to come help teach it to us that week, since he didn’t completely disappear off the face of the Earth. He said yes, so his fans know that he was in fact alive.
So, when he walked in, we almost gave away what we were. She started jumping up and down, going for a kiss but realizing we were being filmed so we opted for a hug instead.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when we were being told to go onto stage because we were next.
“After the break, Niall and Evelina will dance their contemporary and you will find out where Evelina has been.”
The crowd cheered and we went to break. The make-up did one last touch-up of our make-up, as well as the judges, Tom’s, and Erin’s before we came back.
“Welcome back! Up now is Niall and Evelina doing their contemporary.”
The video then started.
“What dance do you think we should do?” Evelina asked.
“The Famous Dance week, definitely. Personally feel we could’ve done that so much better and I loved doing that dance.”
“I have to agree with you on that.”
It then flashed to us getting help from Bruno that first day, making me smile.
After that, it played a scene of ambulances and sirens before it flashed to Evelina sitting in the waiting room.
“Why was I not in practice?” Evelina asked the camera crew, who I’m sure nodded.
“Well, as you can tell, we are in the hospital. Physically I’m fine, mentally and emotionally not so much. Mark and his fiancé were watching my son and his fiancé took him to see a movie because it had been a while. Well, a drunk-driver ran a red light after the movie and hit my son’s door.”
Everyone in the crowd gasped. I just wanted to kiss Evelina’s tears away, but we were filming and she was across the room.
“He is in a coma right now, but doctors are giving him about a 70% chance of living.”
It then flashed to when they questioned me about it. They asked how I was holding up due to my close relationship with Wesley, and I answered honestly. I was holding up, but I was worried so much it made me sick.
It then flashed to Peta teaching me and helping us out.
Tom then introduced us one more time, giving the music guy his cue.
Their dance.
Evelina told me he was watching and cheering us on.
Since we finished the dance laying down, I stood up and helped her up. She was already crying and I hugged her tightly, kissing her head. I honestly didn’t care who saw and if we were being filmed or not. That didn’t matter to me. All that mattered was her and making sure she was okay.
Apparently though, there was no dry eye in the room. Even Len shed a tear.
“Carrie Ann,” Tom said, a little choked due to the tears he was shedding. She just shook her head, so Tom then started with Len.
“I’m honestly speechless. Niall, you weren’t taught by Evelina this week due to these circumstances, but you honestly couldn’t tell in that dance. Peta, wherever you are, good job. Evelina, I honestly don’t know how you did that. If my son was ever in the same situation, I don’t know what I would. You are amazing just for coming out here with your son still in that hospital.”
She was crying and I just hugged her tighter. Carrie Ann and Bruno both were bawling, but got collected enough to give us their thoughts.
We then went to Erin during the break.
“And we’re back. So, before the break, Evelina, you danced a very heartfelt dance even though your son is in the hospital. Would you care to share what was going on in your mind?”
She nodded, making me squeeze her hips.
“I’m going to update you all, as a lot has happened since the package was made. Wesley is awake, he woke up about five this morning, but before he woke up we discovered some pretty life-changing stuff. Wesley has hydrocephalus astrocytoma, which is a tumor on his brain. It was removable, which they say is very rare for how far along it was, but he is receiving chemotherapy to hopefully kill the cancer cells and get rid of it completely. I’ve always called him my miracle, and he always will be. He’s watching this right now, so Wesley I love you and will be back soon!”
She then blew a kiss into the camera and I smiled.
“Alright, we let’s get your scores.”
Evelina then squeezed my hand, nervous of our outcome.
“Carrie Ann Inaba.”
“10! Glad he’s doing better!”
“Len Goodman!”
“From Len, it’s a 10!”
“Bruno Antonio.”
“10!”
We both hugged each other and jumped up and down.
We fought the urge, knowing exactly where we were at.
After Erin said her whole voting speech, we found a little room for ourselves.
“I know how we’re going to tell the world.”
“How’s that?”
“The finale, if we win, I’ll kiss you. We’ll say that the urge was there, but never acted on it due to the rules of the show.”
“And if we don’t win?”
“Then we’ll figure something out.”
“Have you talked to Modest about this? Since, you know, they put on your contract that they control your life.”
I sighed, remembering us having a deep conversation one night about our job.
“I’m honestly done. If they have a problem with it, then I’m going to not re-sign or use them for my golf management.”
I was dead serious, but since it was just us two, she kissed me, making all of my seriousness and thoughts disappear and for her beautiful features to flood my mind.

Definitely! Denny's is definitely better! I like the nachos at Dennys. :) Waffle House just isn't good to me. My family loves it, but it makes me sick.
