I Love You More Than I Can Ever Scream

"I'm home Andy!" I yelled laying my dance bag down on the couch. "Where are you?"
"In the bedroom." He called out scratchily. I instantly felt terrible when I heard how weak his voice sounded.
"Did you take your medicine?" I asked him, walking back to the bedroom. Their was a pause as I opened the door, and I saw him lying down on our bed. He was lying on his stomach, and I assumed he had just been asleep.
"No." He said. I sighed, Andy hated taking pills, and I always had to remind him, or make him take them. I walked back out of the bedroom, and grabbed his pills off the counter.
"You need to take these or your not going to get better." I sat down on the bed next to Andy, and he sat up looking at me, with sorry eyes. I poured two out of the bottle, and grabbed the glass of water off of the bedside table. He took them out of my hand, and swallowed them.
He made a sour face, "I hate pills." I laughed, and he wrapped an arm around my hip, and pulled me to his side. "What if I'm not better by Friday?" It was Wednesday now, and the band had already started recording but Andy had to wait because he was sick. His strep throat was getting better, but he was still to sick to sing.
"You'll be fine." I said leaning my head on his shoulder.
"You keep saying that but I'm really worried!" Andy said raising his voice a little.
"Andy your going to be okay! It's just strep throat, it's a 24 hour virus, and you've had it since Monday! I wouldn't be suprised if you felt way better tomorrow!" I said.
"I hope." He kissed my forehead, and I heard my cellphone playing my ringtone, Second and Sebring by Of Mice and Men, in the other room. I jumped up to get it.
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Hi Jasey it's Vanessa from Los Angeles Ballet, Mr. Burns needs you to come back in, something about Swan Lake." The secretary from LAB said on the other line.
"Okay, of course" I said, clicking the end call button. I never changed out of my leotard, so I just grabbed my dance bag, and ran back to the bedroom. "Hey babe I have to go back to the studio, Mr. Burns needs me."
"Awh but you just got home!" He said pouting, "I miss you!"
"I know! I'm sorry! I'll be back before you know it!" I said kissing him on the cheek, and running out of the room.
........................
"You want me to be the lead in Swan Lake?" I said my mouth gaping open. I wa sitting in my boss's office, and he was smiling at me nodding.
"I do, you have shown amazing potential, this will be your test. If you can learn the entire ballet in two weeks, we will promote you to a Prima Ballerina." He said in his thick New Zealand accent. A smile broke out on my face, and tears pushed to my eyes. This was my dream.
"When do I start?" I asked laughing breathily. He laughed along with me.
"Right now if you want, your Prince will be Thomas Dyson." I nodded, he was my usual partner. We were both soloists.
"Okay." I said picking up my bag, and he led me out of the office, and into one of the huge studios.
"I'm going to teach you, the Odette pas de deux." Mr. Burns said as Thomas walked in. I laced up my shoes, and he started teaching us the choreography. We picked it up fairly fast, and in about three hours we had learned all of the Odettte pas de deux, and most of the Odille one. My right ankle was crying out in pain by the time we were done. It was eleven, and I was so tired I couldn't stand up right. I drove home with the biggest smile on my face. This was my dream, it was coming true.
