Lost In Our Imagination 2: Not As Planned

30 - I Don't Get A Say?

August 2018

Livi's P.O.V

"I'm so proud of you Livi, you've been amazing this tour, all the reviews love you" James said down the phone. I was sat in my dressing room waiting for the show to start. We were in Birmingham for the show tonight.

"It's a shame you couldn't come to see it this time, I can't believe there's only a week left"

"I know, I'm really sorry about that, works just so crazy at the moment"

"Yeah of course, I do need to talk to you about something though, about going to see Ben"

"Ben? He's in America though... Wait one sec Livi, okay I'm coming! Look I've got to go, we can talk about this later ok? I'll speak to you after the show, break a leg"

"Okay, bye" I sighed before hanging up the phone.

"Are you going to see Ben?" Someone asked from behind me. I turned round to see Ella.

"Hey El, I don't know maybe" I shrugged and she came in.

"You know I really don't like him anymore, he's an idiot" she said and I laughed.

"I couldn't agree more, there's no excuse for what he did to you"

"At least I can find the right guy now" she smiled and I nodded.

"You are going to find an amazing guy and be really happy"

"Thanks Livi, I should probably go and get ready for the show" she smiled walking out of my dressing room. After she left I carried on getting ready for the show myself, I went to make up and had that done before going back to my dressing room and getting in my first costume for the show. My solo in the show (which used to be mine and Ben's duet) was the opening of the second act so I had a while until that was coming up. One of the producers came round calling 10 minutes until curtain up so I made my way to the side of the stage.

"Ready to wow this audience" Tom asked who was now my partner in and paired work in group dances. It was weird dancing with him as I'd only ever danced with Ben but Tom was a really good dancer and I didn't mind working with him.

"Ready as I'll ever be" I smiled as we walked to just off stage.

"Curtain up in 3,2,1..." And then the show began. Some of the dances were the same and some where different to the old show but they were all something different to catch your eye. The show always goes by in a blur, all I ever remember is the music and the lights shining down on me. By the end of the first act we were all very hot and starting to get out of breath.

"So I think I have the best dance partner here" Tom smiled walking over and hugging me.

"Thanks Tom" I laughed, "I've gotta admit I'm really glad you took over from Ben, you're amazing out there"

"He was an amazing guy, it's a shame he had to leave you two were really good together, if I hadn't seen in that magazine you were with James from that band I would have thought you and Ben were together, you two look almost perfect together" he laughed and I smiled.

"He was just my best friend, and flat mate" I explained and he nodded.

"How did your boyfriend take that one?"

"What?" I asked confused and he frowned.

"James? Didn't he mind you living with another guy?"

"I wasn't with James when I moved in with Ben, infact I didn't even remember who James was..."

"You didn't remember him?"

"Yeah, I was in a car accident with my other best friend Katie, and lost my memory, it took about 3 years for me to remember him again but he waited the whole time for me"
