Right at that moment I had no idea what to do. I was going crazy. My cousin, my brother had an accident. What was I going to do? Should I start the show? Should I cancel it? Or should I run to James? These are the little things that are running threw my mind right now. The little things that make you even more nervous. The little things that make you worry about family and the beginning of your career.

“Nena!! Nena!! Nena!!! What happened? You dropped your phone and started to cry like if your world fell apart.”

“B-because my world did fall apart... And I don’t know what to do..”

“Wait, wait, wait. Hold up.What are you talking about, I don’t understand.”



“Andrea, James is in the hospital, he had an accident.”



“Dios mio!!!!!! how did this happen?

“ I don’t know.. I just want to go to him.”



“But what about the show?”



“I don’t know... Cancel it I guess.”



“But you can't cancel it... This is what we’ve been waiting for..” I had no idea what to do. I was so worried about my cousin that, I felt like just running to him already.

Ring, ring, it was my phone. I don’t know who it is. should I answer. Or should I just leave it. “Hello.”

“Yes, this is the doctor again. I’m calling to tell you that well, James doesn’t want you to cancel the show you're putting on. He wants you to continue it.”

“What???”

“James is awake and, he wants to tell you that he wants you to continue the show.”

“Oh, can I please talk to him?”

“Well of course you can! Just wait one second.”


“Hello.”




“James are you ok?”

“I’m fine now, you?”



“I'm fine, just worried and nervous.”

“Why worried?”

“For you. I'm worried for you.”


“Don’t be worried for me I’m fine. Just start the show.”


“No! I want to see you first.”


“No, no,no, you will start the show and then see me. Ok.”

“Fine..But what about.....”

“Don’t think of anything just go dance. Always remember that I’m here to support you and that I’m proud of you. I want you to smile don’t cry and shake those nerves away, ok. Pretend I’m there with you. Pretend I'm there dancing with you, next to you.” I couldn’t help but to cry. I was crying so hard I thought my tears were a waterfall down my cheeks. I couldn't believe those words he was saying. I never thought he cared so much about my dancing, or me.

“Ok, I will but promise you will get well soon. Ok James.”

“I promise.” I felt much better when we talked, but I was kinda still nervous about the show. I mean, who wasn’t. For all I know there had to be at least more than a hundred people. It’s a big studio, I know. All I remember is me walking everywhere, thinking just start the show. And then my nerves kicking in when they announced, “ladies and gentlemen. Lets begin the show with these hard working girls who are looking for a chance to become dancers. Enjoy the show, and here are the girls.”

I swear that the only thing that passed thru my mind was jesus help me and I’m just dancing, calm down, pretend the only one who’s there is James. I guess it worked because once I got on the stage, I wasn’t as nervous. Thank you James!! I had fun dancing it was amazing everyone loved us!!! We had a couple of dances put together and we were down to our last. We were in our position until me like a dummy looked at the crowed and saw Matt Hunter, the only male teen singer I have a celebrity crush on. I just had to look. I got even more nervous of that, my heart was pumping hard. But no worries, I just had fun and pretend I didn’t see him.

The dance was over. And we thanked everyone who came. Surprisingly, people even wanted us to do a dance for parties. Now I know I’m reaching my goal little by little. But hey, there’s Matt Hunter again, I wonder why he’s here? “Hey, I’m looking for Nena Gomez. Is she you?”

“OMG! I mean yes, this is she. How can I help you?”

“Well, I need more dancers and well, I was wondering if you and your two friends would like to consider in becoming my personal dancers?” Wow! Was I really standing next to Matt Hunter? Was I really getting asked to be his dancer? Well I hope this isn’t a dream because I don’t want to wake up yet.

“Umm......I-I would definitely love to be your dancer I mean, for crying out loud, I’m your number one fan!!! right girls?”

“That’s true I mean, her room is covered with you....Crazy right? At Least I think so. But anyways enough of that. I on the other hand would love to also be your dancer how bout you Anais?”

“I don’t know what to say but........Of course yeah!!! An opportunity doesn’t just fall from the sky you know.”

“Well it’s nice to see you guys are interested. I’m going to arrange a day for us to meet ok. And from there we will decide when you guys will practice with the rest of the dancers, that way you guys can get used to in a crowd.” I going crazy right now with his words. Oh my gosh, what’s going on in the inside, I feel nervous, and my heart is going wild. I guess it’s that feeling of having a famous person next to. But then I remembered that I had promised James I would see him after the show.

“Matt I know you probably have somewhere to go but, can you do me a faver?”

“Sure anything.”

“I need you to please drop us at the hospital. If it’s ok with you of course?”

“No I don’t mind taking you guys. When do you want to go?”

“Now if you can.”

“Of course let’s go.” We left. and asked the doctor about James, and he sent us to his room.

“James.” I said softly.

“Nena!! I’m so excited to see you with the girls and oh, is this Matt Hunter. I don’t know how he came but hi, I’m James.”

“Hi, I’m Matt as you can see. Are you ok?”

“I’m kinda ok now. Just that When I talk too much it kinda hurts.”

How come you didn’t tell me this when we were talking?”

“Ummm........... So, how did the show go?”

“It went ok. Matt here wants us to be his personal dancers. How do you see that?”

“That’s good!! You see, I was right about this dance thing because now you got a whole career ahead of you.” Honestly I was still smelling something fishy because he didn’t want to tell me why his voice hurts, when he speaks?

“Andrea, Anais, could you two step out a minute. Thank You.”

“Your Welcome.”

“Do you need me to step out to?”

“No,no,no stay you just met me you should hear this to. Nena.... The reason why my voice is hurting, is because I might die soon.”

“What you talking about. Why didn’t you tell me? You promised you would get better soon.” My tears got out of controlled, and thanks to Matt who was there he tried to calm me down.

“You could've told me sooner James.”

“I wanted you to have that spotlight, to feel like a professional dancer.”

“But nothing James. What am I going to do without you? Your my other half. I need you”

“You don’t need me Nena. You can be big without me. Just remember that I will always be in your heart, and that you will never be alone because I’ll always be here next to you. I’ll always be your guardian angel. And I want you Matt to take care of my cousin ok.”

“I promise I will take care of her with all my heart, I give you my word.”

“But James.......”

“Don’t James me. You are going to do fine. You got a whole life ahead of you ok. Just remember I’ll always be here, I’ll always be your other half in hear your h-h-heart...........” No this can’t be happening now!!!! God no. Bring him back, bring him back!!!! I collapse on the floor. Matt tries to comfort me. Andrea and Anais come in to see what happen, and they start crying to. I get back up and look into Matt’s eyes. We can’t help but to stare. And then he kissed me. I stared for a second and then hugged him.

God why, why today. The time I most needed him. But there is always a reason why they go. To be remembered and thanked for. If it wasn’t for him my dad would've never believed in my dream. My career would of never began like this. And I would've never been with the guy of the dreams. Today we celebrate him with happiness, and music, remembering all those happy times. James thanks for all your love, carness, and support. We all miss you soo much I wish you could see all the fun I’m having dancing.

DO YOU HAVE A LOVED ONE THAT PASSED ON? IF SO REMEMBER THEM WITH LOVE AND HAPPINESS!!!!
