She is always so graceful, whether it be when she is dancing or if she is just laying down on my couch watching a movie while eating popcorn. She would always take everything with a pinch of salt, guarding herself from lies people would tell her or she wouldn't believe the truth; I need to know why. Why does she not trust many people? Did something happen to her as a child? Deliah was so different to her, her attitude was different, her personality was different; she was innocent compared to her. She would go out clubbing and wouldn't come home until four in the morning, with me sitting on the couch waiting for her; I had to know if she was safe all the time. But with Delilah it was different, I am able to give her that space because I know she wouldn't leave; Delilah won't leave like she did right?

"What are you doing here?" I turned to see Harry staring at me and I rolled my eyes at his attitude.
Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, how dare he talk to a customer like that. I continued looking through the records completely ignoring his attitude and dirty looks, I haven't done anything wrong; I am completely innocent. I soon reached the Elvis Presley section and flicked through a few of the records until I came among my favourite one of his; Burning Love. I picked up the record and ran my fingers over the smooth cover, I turned it over and looked at the price and sighed; too expensive for me. I placed the record back in its place and turned around to see harry staring down at me with his arms folded across his chest, the sleeves of his red flannel rolled up exposing a mermaid tattoo on his arm.
"What?" I asked looking up at him.
"Are you here to see your friend?" Harry asked and I nodded.
"Her and Niall are f.ucking in the back so I would wait a while if I were you," Harry replied smirking and I rolled my eyes in disgust.
Kelsey wouldn't do that. I continued walking around the record store flicking through records of other famous artists with Harry following close behind me; what is his problem?
"Do you want me to buy something?" I asked turning around making Harry stop suddenly.
He stares at me for a moment, blinking a few times before licking his lips slowly; his actions very attractive. I quickly shook those thoughts out of my head before looking into his eyes, the green brighter than when I first met him. His blank stare turned into a smirk as I continued to stare at him with curiosity; why does his moods change so suddenly? Does he have bipolar? Or is he usually like this? I couldn't be a friend of his if he was like this everyday, I wouldn't be able to keep up.
"Do you like what you see?" He asked and I scoffed.
Of course, he's one of those boys who think he can get anything he wants, where is the Harry that was at the bonfire, quiet, distance; he was so much better than what is standing in front of me.
"You're such a p.rick," I replied looking up at him with a small smile.
"I know babe," he replied with a wink.
Is he trying to flirt with me? No thanks. I turned around and started walking away as I hear Harry chuckle behind me, Kelsey finally comes out of the back room with Niall and I stare at her with my eyebrows raised, she looks at me confused for a second before turning her attention back to Niall. I swear she only listens to him nowadays and doesn't even give me a second look. Once she finished talking to Niall she walked over to me smiling and I roll my eyes at her.
"What's with the attitude?" Kelsey asks looking at me suspiciously.
"What do you think?" I asked and Kelsey looked over at Harry who was joking around with Niall.
"He's not that bad once you get to know him, he's been through a lot to be the way he is now," Kelsey replied when I looked at her.
"I've got to go practice, I'll text you later," I sighed.

I felt the sweat dripping down my neck slowly as I continued to move to the music, the sound of pointe shoes tapping against the wooden floor calmed me. I continued to take deep, shallow breathes while doing my pirouette exercise; I bit my lip as I felt excruciating pain in my toes, but I had to keep going. If I want to make it into Juilliard I have to keep going, I can't give up or else they would kick me out. Every thought about Kelsey, Chelsea, Harry, Niall, my mother, my father, step father, step mother and my step brother left my mind whenever I put my pointe shoes on, it's as if I am a completely different person when I dance and I honestly love being a completely different person. My dance teacher left a few hours ago so I could go over one of the dances for the video I have to send to Juilliard for my audition, once I finished my pirouette exercise I took a sip from my water bottle and checked the time, 9:26pm. I was meant to text Kelsey but I actually didn't want to, she's different when she's around Niall, and I don't like it. I'm not jealous of Kelsey, right? I am also not jealous that Niall gets to spend all the time with her, right? She's changed, we use to be inseparable but now that Niall has come into the picture I barely see her between dance practice's. I push the stray hairs that fell out of my pony tail out of my face and walked over to the sound system and changed the song to my classical ballet dance for Juilliard, the sound of the keys being played on the piano made me sigh. I walked slowly over to the middle of the wooden floor and stood in position while the introduction of the music played, I slowly took a few steps forward and immediately started doing pirouettes.
My feet moved to the music and before I knew it the dance was over and I smiled to myself before walking over to the sound system and turning the music off completely. I walked over to where I placed my duffle bag and sat down, I untied my pointe shoes and took them off placing them in my bag and I slipped on my black vans. I picked up my light blue duffle bag and walked out of the studio locking the door behind me, you could only hear my feet as I walked down the steps and towards my car, it was silent except for my breathing, being alone at the studio always scared me but I have to be here to practice. I got into my car and locked the doors incase someone decided to jump out of the bushes and try to attack me, before I turned the ignition on someone walked past my car, the very familiar person walking down the road with their hood up. As nosey as I am I decided to follow, once they were as far away as I hoped I turned on the ignition and pulled out from where I was parking and down the road, following the person.
