[21] Dad?

"Paitynn!" Chloe warns.

"What?" I ask looking at the huge crowds of people lined in rows.

"You're gonna do fine. You're gonna go out there and wow them! Do it to wow Demi, to wow Heather." She encourages.

"Alright, alright." I smile. She hugs me then backs away so I can practice mentally.

I run over the few steps I had. This dance was much simpler than usual, but this is my first in front of Demi.

I have to impress Demi. I can't fail this. I can't.

The music started cuing me to walk on the stage and preform me dance.

"You'll do great!" Chloe whispers in my ear. before I walk of.

I begin glancing at the judges, trying not to look at Demi or Heather. Knowing they would mess me up.

Eventually I give in to curiousity and look at Heather and Demi. Demi being almost in tears and Heather with a huge smile plastered on her face.

I look away her tears almost making me cry. I continue the dance fnishing without looking at Demi. At the end I had to run off the stage so I did, into Chloe's arms.

"You did so good!" Chloe whispers.

"Thank you." I smile pulling away from her.

"What's up next?" I ask.

"After a few more solos we have the group. So we have to go get changed." Chloe says then we run back to our room.

"You did so good!" Demi says pulling me into a hug.

"I mean, I knew you were good, but I didn't know you were that good!" Demi smiles as I sit down and she starts my make up, while Brook does Chloe's

"Paitynn! You did great!" Mrs. Jensen says, I was the only one who did a solo so I was the only one to praise.

"Thank you." I smile and stand as soon as Demi is done and walk away from her quickly greeted by the rest of the group

"Practice the group." The teacher yells ordering us

After practicing the group routine we were ordered to go backstage, because we were almost on.

"Don't look at Demi, she'll mess me up. She'll mess me up." I whisper to myself

"What?" Chloe asks.

"Nothing just going through the routine." I lie.

"You're gonna do fine. You did on your solo. All you have to do is this, the duet and then your done." Chloe says

"I know." I smile looking down at ny fingers and fiddling with them.

"Stop worrying. She said grabbing my hand so I could no longer provide the nervous habit I had.

We walk behind the stage and everyone mentally goes through the steps.

After about five minutes we are introduced and out on stage cuing the music.

After the dance I realized I had broke my pledge and looked at Demi and Heather. Quite often actually.

Although it hadn't messed me up. I broke my promise.

Walking back into the room I was greeted by Demi and Heather.

"Paitynn! You did great!" Heather beams hugging me.
