Dangerous Dance

CHAPTER 2 - Scarlett

The weekend went by and I thought about the audition a million times. I searched it up, it was a 1-month trip to live in a house with the other dancers in LA, after that month of training, you have to go for 2 months out in one of the biggest spots in LA to make shows. Before I knew that my answer would have been a YES! But now, I felt like I couldn't, even if I wanted to, I still had my mom to take care of. I couldn't leave her here, alone. Who would take care of her if it wasn't me? I was also afraid that if I left her, it might be the last time I saw her, so many things could happen in 3 months.

I decided to ask my brother for his opinion. I haven't seen him in a year, because he's busy studying and fucking random chicks. He has another mom than me, so he didn't help take care of my mom, which I understand, but he sometimes sends me some money when things get bad.

"Long time no see huh James"

"Is this my little baby sister,"

"Little and little, is it so long since we last talked?" Even if I was mad because he never texted me, I missed him so much, I wish he never left.

"I miss my baby sister." I smiled

"I miss you too my dumb big brother" He sound shocked "I'm not dumb!" I laughed "I called 'cause I need your opinion."

"Let me hear," I took a deep breath, "I got offered a job, in the next season of the magic mike show"

"The same show as Asher?" he asked, "Yes, it is, and I really wanna take the offer, but I feel like I can't leave my mom alone."

"You have been working the entire year, so hard at a shitty job, having a shitty boss, and taking really good care of your mom! I'm proud of you, but maybe it's time for you to start your own life, and get out in the world, doing what you dream of!" He was so right.

"Ofc, I don't like you hanging around a lot of half-naked men every single day, but I know you can take care of yourself." he added.

"Thank you, James, you're right, I should really think about it."

"Yes you should, it's such a great chance, and everybody is gonna see your talent."

Since we were kids I forced him to watch me dance. He hated it when I forced him, but at the same time, he supported me.

"I have to go, I have a 6-hour shift in an hour, so I must get ready,"

"Okay, but remember what I said, Alright?"

"I will, and hey James, I love you." I was tired of being sad, but I felt a tear down my cheek, I was so sensitive, and it have just gotten worse since my mom got sick. Its not something I like to show.. "I love you too baby sister." We have always been close, not that we talk everyday, we go without talking for months, but when we talk again we still are the closest.

I hung up and looked out of the window for a minute. He was right, and I need to really think about this one. The audition is in 4 days, so I still had some time to clear up my mind.

But for now, I have to get ready for work, I don't want to be late, or else Henry is gonna get mad, it's hard not to slap the shit out of him, I do really hate him. Ellie had a shift today too, so I got her, and I was so happy about that, and after work, we planned a sleepover, and that's all I need right now.

"Just put the snacks on the table" I pointed at the table, she set the snack there and put them in some bowls. While I got some duvets out in the living room. I liked when we had sleepovers with movies and snacks, cause I hated to be alone all the time.

"So about the offer. what have you decided?" She looked at me, and I didn't know if I wanted to talk about this, but maybe it was good to also hear her opinion.
