Dance In The Rain

6. Back Off!

I woke up the the sound of someone knocking on my door, I groaned as I tried to get up to answer it but just fell back onto my bed,

"Mom" I croaked, damn this Laryngitis , I sighed as I hauled myself out of bed I was still in my pajamas and my hair was in a messy bun, who could possibly be at my door 9 o'clock at night ,

"Well Hello There" I heard my mother say as I got to the top of the stairway I glanced over the balcony to see Nick and Brandon at my door,

"Hey Christi , How is Faye doing?" Brandon said glancing up at the top of the stairway to where I was, I blushed abit but managed to get away from his glance as I slowly walked down the stairway , I felt my stomach get really nausea , I got to the bottom of the stairway but I felt really sick, but I didnt want Brandon to know so I faked being fine,

"Hey" I managed to get out my throat hurting ten times worse as I winced at the pain, Brandon must of noticed because he gave me a concerned look,

"Hey Faye how are you" I shrugged because I couldnt talk , Nick laughed at it but this ended up in Brandon smacking him across the fore head , I giggled a little just enough so my throat wouldnt hurt,

"I'll leave you three alone for now" My mom said going into our family room that had all our games and stuff in it, I went into the living room flopping down on the couch while Nick and Brandon stayed in the hallway I scoffed as I flicked a pillow out there to get their attention, It did! It ended up hitting Brandon in the back of the head getting a few chuckles out of me and Nick, he glared at me while I gave him a I'm sorry look, Nick stayed in the hallway while Brandon came in and talked to me

"Faye can we talk" He asked I raised my eyebrows and nodded "Well I guess I'll be the one talking" he chuckled I rolled my eyes and gestured for him to go on,

"Faye I know I kissed you but the thing is I really like you," he started "And well I was talking to Brit and well.." he stopped Britt was one of my bestfriends at the studio and gave amazing advice but I got worried when he stopped, I nudged him abit for him to go on, he held my hands in his

"Faye Lukasiak will you be my girlfriend?" he asked my mouth dropped open , I didnt know what to say I was numb I couldnt reply or talk only because my voice was gone, I just keep looking back and forth in between his eyes ,

"Faye, Faye are you alright?" Brandon said waving a hand in my face and lightly shaking me I still didnt move I was in complete shock, then a Smile crept upon my lips as I nodded , Brandon let out a sigh of relief as he chuckled lightly, he pressed his soft gentle lips against my forehead and looked me in the eyes,

"I love you Faye Hannah Lukasiak" he said making me tear up, I smiled and mouth "I love you too Brandon Pent" he chuckled and hugged me as I lent against his soft gentle chest, I looked at the time it was 10:30 and we had early practice the next day right before school but I couldnt go to school because of me being Ill but Abby wanted me to go to practice to see how I will be, I nudged Brandon and I pointed to the clock he frowned,

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked I nodded in reply , I walked him to the door while Nick was leaning against it waiting for us,

"Hello there" he said winking at me, I punched him in the arm,

"OW!" he said rubbing it as I smirked , Brandon gently opened the door as Nick went to his car getting in the passenger side , he kissed my forehead as I wrapped my arms around his torso and cuddled into him ,

"Good night Faye!" he said kissing me one last time on the forehead and leaving ,getting in his car and driving off, I locked the door when he left I turned around to see my Mom smirking at me I smiled and ran upstairs to get into bed,


----------------- THE NEXT DAY -----------------------

I woke up but my stomach didnt feel wheezy anymore and my throat wasnt scratchy anymore, I coughed and sound came out but my throat didnt hurt, I sighed as I got out of bed, and walked into my bathroom stripping down and jumping into the shower I washed all over me hoping I could get rid of this flu, A few minutes later I got out wrapping myself in a towel I had and going into my room, it was extremely hot in my room too! I quickly rushed to my dresser and grabbed a few of my dance articles and got changed,


I grabbed my character shoes and placed them in my dance bag, I also put on my necklace Brandon gave me, maybe it'd make him smile at practice today, I dried my hair and put it in a ponytail, I sighed as I grabbed my ALDC hoodie and hauled it on over myself I glanced at myself before I left my room, I looked alright,

I rushed downstairs to see Chloe looking everywhere for something Clara refusing to get dressed and Dad trying to find his car keys, I gigged as I laid my bag in the hallway

"Clo what are you looking for?" I asked her which caused her to look at me wide eyed

"Faye your voice!" she squealed I smiled realizing I spoke without my throat hurting or sounding raspy ,

"Yeah it came back today!" I said smiling proudly, I didnt feel sick at all Im hoping it was just a 24 hour flu , My mom quickly rushed over and rested her hand on my forehead,

"You dont have a temperature" she said looking at me, maybe the fly wore off!

Me and Chloe looked around for her pointe shoes they ended up being in her bag the whole time , Mom got Clara dressed finally and Dad found the car keys, I was late for practice Abby is going to kill me, I hopped in the passenger seat while Chloe jumped in the back Mom and Clara werent coming since it was only competition team practice ,

"Dad hurry up!" I yelled as we were approaching the studio,

"Faye Im going as fast as I can" he replied sounding annoyed , I rolled my eyes , We pulled a corner and made it to the studio 5 minutes before class started!

"Bye Dad see you at 8!" I said shutting my door and rushing into the building, I seen Abby sitting at the desk looking at me confused,

"Faye I thought you were sick" she exclaimed I shook my head "I was but it turned out to be a 24 hour bug" I said walking into the dressing room to see Payton of all people sitting there, I scoffed

"What are you doing here" I sneered at her she chuckled "Abby said if you were a no show I was taking your part" I lost it all the Moms were upstairs but everyone was in the dressing room,

"You listen here Ackerman and You listen good! This is MY dance with MY boyfriend and YOU are to back off got it!" I said emphasizing some of the words, everyone stifled in their laughs while Paytons face went blank, she grabbed her bags and rushed off out of the studio, Brandon came up to me,

"That was amazing" he said smiling kissing me gently on the lips, I smiled and kissed back instantly I pulled away after

"I know but she has to back off of this competition team she's not a part nor will she ever be a part of it" I said looking around at all of my bestfriends in the dressing room, Suddenly Lesley burst through the door

"What did you say to Payton!" she screamed at me, I got angry now

"I TOLD HER TO BACK OFF AND YOU SHOULD TOO NOBODY LIKES YOU OR YOUR DAUGHTER!" I screamed back making Mackenzie cover her ears, Lesley looked shocked and left the dressing room , Nobody messes with me , my friends or my boyfriend!
