Day 2/3 competition

Aphrodite pov 

" Octavia this dance is about being in a relationship but the emotional and mental scars it can leave on your heart. i also want to feel the sadness  radiate off of  you need to tell this stories through your eyes okay, i know you can win this, when you get to that turn can you lean you head back and open your arms like I'm Jesus or something. act like someone is punching you in the face beautiful, when it gets to the lyric 'I'm tired of being so exhausted' i want you to move your hands in front of your face i want that to be three emotions happy, sadness and then nothing." Abby instructs  

" beautiful good job girlie Aphrodite same time tomorrow and for her costume i want a grey or black t-shirt oversize one alright good. take a rest before the others come." walking into the den with Octavia giving her water "you liking it?" "yeah i do it's different the are some parts that are hard but what i found funny was the Jesus part." "i found that pretty funny."  our peace was broken by the others  but the one voice of Joanne who oddly reminds me of Cathy "I'm going to sit upstairs okay love you ."saying to her before going to mommy jail.

"Joanne reminds me of a chihuahua annoying and won't shut up." i say 

Octavia pov 

" morning Octavia where's your mom?" "she up in what i like to call mommy jail." i say " how long have you bee-" ann gets cut off by Gianna "guys we're working on the group come on" " lets go we need this dance to be perfect we all stretched good a lets start from the top 5,6,7,8 Hannah stronger legs, Presley use the face, timing guys the timing!" abby yelling everything was going good until Hannah's toe nail came off and let me tell you it was nasty once that was over Abby called the moms in. 

"Alright guys take it from the top lets go." if i was an asthmatic which I'm not i would have passed out by now and i do once we land in our finish position i noticed that lily was having trouble breathing  and started crying i ran over to her grabbing her rubbing her back telling her to breath in and out hugging her i could feel her breathing was slowly getting better. Stacy came over and tried to help " okay let's take a break grab some water." Abby tells us  "so we have a toenail falling off now the breathing wow." Erin  Gianna walks in "brady, Octavia Abby wants to you's."  

"It's very intense dance hard and fast hitting dance it take the life out of us when dancing but hey practice makes perfect."i say "it's definitely a struggle to keep up with i'm finding it hard." Hannah says 

"working with a prop is a massive what if? what if i drop it? what if slip or hurt myself or the others? it's always unpredictable " Abby says 

" okay guys lets perfect it, here's the actual rope we'll use. tug at it be fierce and sharp on those movements brady make sure those isolations are big hit hit hit Octavia hold your place brady is doing an awkward position push up thing holding your hips, catch her twirl her Octavia sharp movements act like your neck has just been snapped push it perfect be careful brady don't hold it so tight that it she actually struggle to breath and drop grab at your throat acting like he just strangled you." She continues 

"Both take one end of the rope put it down in a somewhat straight line and run but tiptoe along it like a coyote they tiptoe." i-i don't even know how she know that but ok then "hit a glass wall boom fight him Octavia push him down beautiful. now from the top" "AHHHHHHH yes that's what i want yay perfect. "Abby screeches in excitement " Alright i want everyone in here including the moms." Abby says  "guys miss Abby wants everyone."  waving down the moms to come in.

Aphrodite p.o.v

"That's a big rope." Ashley says "i can only imagine the burn that can come from it." Michelle winces "Oh my god is she getting brady to put the rope around her neck?" Stacey asks " my kid isn't even in that duet and I'm not a fan of it." Joanne actually says something that's not self centred "at least she has her hand on it at least it's not  'choking' her Stacey." saying to Stacey she laughs at the inside joke "AHHHHHHH yes that's what i want yay perfect. "Abby screeches in excitement making us all jump   seeing us being waved down
