In your arms

Chapter 10: theory's

Emily's POV:

I walk into the studio and put my stuff on the desk in my office, Riley's gone to grab a juice and she got stuck in there with Michelle and her questions so I decided to leave them and open up the studio a bit early, I placed down my coffee on the desk and spun round in the seat before hearing a knock at the door.
"Do you have a minute?" I hear a voice ask from the side of the room. I turn to see the last person I expect to be here.
"What the fuck do you want?" I let out a loud sigh and lean back in my chair as he takes one step into the room.
"I just wanna say that what u saw yesterday wasn't what it looked like" I cross my arms and look at him. He has a strange look on his face it's like he's trying to act sorry but he doesn't act as good as he dances.
"What? So You didn't kiss and touch my sister while hurting her in the process no?" I say sarcastically rolling my eyes. He stands there looking at the floor. I don't have time for this boy he seriously needs to be put in his place.
"You know she has a boyfriend!" I say standing up from my desk and turning to face him.
"You fucking messed her up! She was a reck yesterday" I state loudly but I get no response. My blood boils but before I can burst I hear someone enter the studio.
"Hey em sorry Michelle kept talking and I-" she starts before stopping in her tracks. I unfold my arms and look over at my sisters as her face grows a little pale as she stands in the office door way. She stays silent so I try clear the air before she turns into a complete ghost.
"Alfie was just leaving" I say simply throwing him a quick death stare. He nods quickly before exiting through the other door and I walk up to my sister.

I drop my angry front and wonder over to Riley. I wrap my arms around pulling her in for a hug and after a few seconds she hugs be back and let's out a slight sigh.
"He's gone, it's ok Ri" I say quietly while I rub my hand up and down her back. She sniffs before pulling back and wiping her eyes. I smile sympathetically at her as I step back.

"A troupe will be here in a minute, we gotta wor-" I start while moving around a few piles of paper on the desk but as I turn back around I see Riley's run out of the office.
"Ri!?" I call out as I walk up to the door and poke my head around the frame. I see her on the bench in the hall way burying her head in her hands and crying quietly.
I look around and soon after I hear foots step coming from the end of the corridor. I quickly walk out and see A troupe at the end of the corridor shooting confused looks at Riley. While standing next to her I mime to them and motion for them to give her some space so they do exactly that. They walk into the studio through the door on the other side and quietly start stretching in the middle of the dance floor.

I place my hand on my little sisters head and ruffle her hair slightly before patting her on the shoulder.
"I'll take care of the rehearsal, don't even worry bout it" after I say that she looks up at me with her red tear filled eyes and I scratch the back of my head letting out a small nervous laugh.
"To soon?" I sigh as she buries her head once again. I walk off to see the other dancers.

"Emily what's up with Riley?" Michelle whispers while pointing to the door of the studio.
"I think she misses James" I say simply as I make my way to the centre of the dance floor. She nods slowly and joins the rest of the troupe.

"Ok everyone once your all stretched we will start our the choreo for our regionals routine for finals and semi finals" I announce which is soon followed by a chorus of yes's. I stand watching them stretch and we then start to brain storm ideas for the regionals semi final routine. After a while I turn to look at the door and see Riley running down the corridor and then turn the corner.
"Uhh Richelle do you mind taking over real quick? I gotta go check on someone" I ask quickly.
"Ya sure no problem!" I know Richelle would jump at any chance to lead the team so I know I can trust her. I walk over to the door and hear her talking to the team. And without looking back I run down the corridor and try find my sister.
