As soon as I get home I go to the shower and scrub off all the days work. A dancers life isn't always the stage makeup, if only people knew what it took to look "cute."
When I'm done, I check my phone. Two text messages, 7 snapchats, 9 tumblr updates, and 1 missed call. I open up the texts:
The first one's from Ryan, my boyfriend:
Hey Dance Shoes
I reply:
Hey, wyd?
The second one's from Ari:
#dancerfeet?
My oblivious answer is:
#awfuldancerfeet!
It's a little thing we do after a horrible dance session.
After that I put on my Under Amour sweat shirt and my floral legging and head to the kitchen. I open the fridge and take out a plum, sit at counter and scroll through my snapchat.
When Mom comes home, she has tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong, Mom?" I drop my plum and walk over to her.
"He left us." She goes up stairs and I hear the shower start running.
I know who she is talking about, Dad.
