Baby Besson

Chapter 32

You got in the car with your dance bag and Corbyn sat down in the drivers seat.
Mads: "Is there anyway at all I can come see you guys??"
Corbyn: "I can talk to my manager for you but no promises.."
Mads: "Okay.. fingers crossed."
When you got to dance you were humming your song.
Emma: "What ya singing?"
Mads: "If you haven't seen my instagram post, then you won't know."
Emma: "Your new song???"
Mads: "Yeah. I should probably stop before I give too much away.
You and the boys continued to live life, and go to the boys interviews.

2 weeks later
Daniel: "Big night tonight. How you feeling?"
Mads: "Anxious. Nervous. Excited. All the emotions I don't even know the names too."
Daniel smiled and quickly pecked your lips as you sat at your vanity putting your hair up. Once the boys were ready, Nationals were a go. You had a suitcase packed with your costume, makeup, hair stuff, and everything else you might need for tonight. You were getting ready with your team tonight. Corbyn and Daniel were allowed in the dressing rooms but only them, as the limit per person was two guests. Most girls used it for their parents.. but your mom wasn't able to come to LA, so they boys said they would record your solo and group number. As you felt the time of leaving coming closer, more anxiety was building.
Being in the same building, dance competition, once again as Alaina, freaked you out. You stood up and went to your bathroom to brush your teeth, and as you finished Daniel walked in, hugging you from behind, and setting his chin on your shoulder.
Daniel: "You are gonna be fine. Trust me."
Mads: "I sure hope so.."
Eventually the boys were ready so you piled into two cars and drove to the theater Nationals were being held at. You walked up to the front desk checking in. The girls name tag read "Bethany."
Mads: "Madelyn Besson, Soloist and Group Dancer."
Bethany: "Okay, You can only have two guests backstage." She was eyeing the boys.
Mads: "Yes Ma'am I know, that would be Corbyn Besson, and Daniel seavey. The rest will stay out in the audience except during my preformance."
She nodded, meaning you could go past. You went down the hall with Corbyn and Daniel, with the other three boys breaking off, heading into the auditorium. You went down the hallway, passing Alainas dance teams door. You snickered and rolled your eyes. After a while, you reached your teams door, and walked in.
Emma: "MADSSS"
Mads: "Hey Em!" You hugged her.
Emma: "Alright which of the five are these again?"
You giggled a little before answering her question.
Mads: "Well, the blonde is my brother, Corbyn. Not completely sure how I got brown hair but.. and this one is my boyfriend, Daniel."
Emma: "Right. Nice to meet you guys!"
She shook both of their hands, leaving them with a confused expression.
Mads: "Oh, guys this is my friend, Emma."
They nodded realizing they weren't being greeted by a total stranger.
You went over to your vanity in the room, and started unloading all the makeup and hair stuff.
Daniel: "Which is first?"
Mads: "My solo."
You began to get very nervous, because you were able to peek at the signup sheet, and Alaina is one number after you. Meaning, she is allowed in the wings while you are on stage.
Mads: "Daniel what ever you do tonight, do not do it alone. Not with Alaina here."
Daniel: "Babe it will be fine."
Mads: "Im serious Daniel. Stay with Corbyn, or in my sight. I know I sound like a mom, but I don't trust her by any means."
After a while of getting ready, it was time for solos. You were number 37, and Alaina was 38. You were pretty early on, but still pretty far in time wise. You walked down the hall in your contemporary costume holding Daniels hand. You had your hair half up and half down, curled, and some pretty natural makeup. This is what you wore:

As you walked into the wings, you being next in the lineup Daniel kissed you, but lightly, trying not to ruin your makeup.
Daniel: "I love you. Good luck, you look gorgeous."
Mads: "Thanks babe. Stay with Corbyn in the front wing."
He nodded and walked away towards the front wing to stand with Corbyn. Then Alaina walked up behind you.
Alaina: "Well if it isn't Miss Besson."
Mads: "Alaina Im not dealing with you tonight. Good luck."
Alaina: "I don't need your luck."
You just rolled your eyes.
Alaina: "But you will." She smirked.
Mads: "Whats that supposed to mean?"
Alaina: "Only that you need every lucky spirit to be on your side. When I win, Im taking Daniel back."
Mads: "He doesn't want you okay? He obviously dumped you for a reason, and Im beginning to see it. Your a pshyco."
Alaina: "We will see who he wants when your not so tough."
Mads: "Whatever that means.."
Alaina: "Good luck Besson. I hope the next couple weeks of your life, are horrid."
You got nervous from her comment, but you were then called on stage. After you danced, you walked off to the second wing, Daniel running around engulfing you in a hug. He picked you up off the ground and kissed you.
Daniel: "Babe that was amazing!"
Mads: "Thanks! I forgot my dance though.."
Daniel: "Really? I couldn't tell."
Mads: "Its called improv."
Daniel set you down grabbing your hand and handed you a water. Corbyn came up behind you hugging you, while you were walking.
Corbyn: "Im so proud of you Mads!!"
Mads: "Thank you, but I really have to go get ready for the group."
You walked back into the dressing room, with a couple wows, and great jobs, and sat down drinking some water. You got ready for the group and ate a snack, before walking with the group on stage. By the end of the competition, you had totally forgotten about what Alaina had said. You went and sat with your group on stage, and the boys walked down the stairs, standing in the far isle of the audience.
??: "ALLLLRIGHT! Im Sam, and lets get awards started!"
Everyone clapped.
Sam: "Starting with the Solos in the Senior Division..."
That was you. Your palms began to sweat as you held Emmas hand, biting your lip.
Sam: "3rd place.. EMMA VERMONT!"
Emma jumped up, and walked over getting her award, and announcing her studio.
Sam: "2nd place... ALAINA JONES!"
Your face lit up, as you made eye contact with Daniel. This was the last chance, if you didn't place, that meant Alaina beat you by a long shot. But if you won, you beat her. You bit your lip looking down, focusing on what he was about to say next.
Sam: "And your national soloist in the senior division is...."
Everyone went silent, it almost seemed as if everything was going in slow motion. You locked eyes with Daniel, biting your lip, hoping he was about to blurt out your name. Knowing if he didn't, you would look like a fool. As Sam began to speak again, time adjusted back to normal.
