"I still can't believe I missed all of this," Daniel sighs, his arms gesturing to the messy hotel room. "I can't believe you might go and win regionals and I'm not even on the team."
He speaks with clear jealousy laced in his tone, and it's understandable why he would feel that way. I hold sympathy for him, we were all optimistic about the situation but I never actually thought we would make it to the finals.
I've won regionals twice before, and last year I won miss National soloist, I know that we're all capable of doing great things individually, but this team is different.
When we're all united it slows us down, our weaknesses are pointed out more, the flaws between our bonds pinpointed every time we plié, and I honestly don't think I could confidently say that we have had one dance rehearsal where we were all getting along and actually made the progress that should be made within that time frame.
We can barely even call ourselves a team, but I guess there is some charm in that. The Next Step is very different from my old team, but I think I prefer it this way- I don't feel like I live in all of their pockets, I'm my own person here, not the person I was forced to be back home.
"It's okay, you're here now for the most important part," West reassures him, his voice echoing from the bathroom where he's getting dressed.
It's our final night here and so we, or rather Giselle, decided that we should all have dinner together. These last few days we've been in small groups but we haven't had a meal with the entire team present, and the idea is nice, but I don't know how well it will turn out.
Sitting down for a meal with Emily, Stephanie and Tiffany doesn't sound very appealing to me, especially not with the overarching worry that Stephanie could drop the bomb about Eldon and I at any point.
A small part of me wants her to just come out with the truth, I'm tired of hiding my feelings for him and I just wish we could be together publicly.
At first it was just sex but now I'm starting to think that there may be something deeper between us, something that I don't think I've ever truly felt before.
Of course I feel bad for Emily, she's still convinced that he's in love with her, but he isn't, in fact I think he hates her more than he loves her.
It's a hard thing to see, and I know that I'm partially responsible for the way that he feels about her, but it's not entirely my fault.
If he ever loved her then he would've broken things off with her by now, but he hasn't- he just doesn't care enough to do that.
Besides, from the start of our relationship he told me that he didn't love her anymore, I'm not really doing Emily a disservice by sleeping with the guy that doesn't love her anymore, it's a favour really and hopefully the sex will just become too good for him to hide our relationship anymore, I hope so anyway.
