Fics like if something's wrong, you can count on me (you know i'll take my heart clean apart if it helps yours beat)

Gina Porter knows she can be prideful. She is well aware of her tendencies to be stubborn and iron-willed and resolute (a trait her Mom likes to say she got from her); pushing her muscles dancing until she got the move just right, no matter the toll it takes, all-nighters studying scripts and flashcards until the ink and highlighters stain her fingers to ensure optimal grades in her everyday classes and a meticulous performance during rehearsals. She puts in effort every day to be good, to be the best, she does it all on her own, and is, rightfully so, proud of herself. She starts to believe that she doesn’t need anyone else, that she’s perfectly fine on her own. Her Mom is busy with work to provide for them, to keep her dancing, keep her happy, so she says nothing about the crumbling loneliness, puts on her best face and reminds herself that she is proud and strong and doesn’t need anyone’s help. She also knows that it is that line of thinking that has led her here, by herself in Ashlyn’s home, a pulsing ache behind her eyes and a painful scratchiness to her throat. - or, Gina is sick and in denial, E.J. takes care of her, and more than one person comes to a realization.
