Dangerous Dance

CHAPTER 6 - Scarlett

Everybody went out partying, but I stayed home to chill for a bit. I talked with Grace who had. just checked in on my mom, like she had promised me to do when she could. I did really miss my mom, and sometimes I could feel a pressure in my chest, a stinging sensation. Because it was hard that I couldn't just call her, and tell her about my day. When something makes me sad, I can't get any advice. Hard not to see her smile. It was just so hard.

I played my music on the speaker, and took a hot shower. I was jamming to Taylor Swift, as always. I took the shampoo and began to sing "She wears high heels, I wear sneakers." I took the shampoo and massaged it well into the hair, before i continued to sing, "Youuu belong with meee," i gave this sentence much more volume. If someone was home right now, they would definitely bully me for the rest of the time. I rinsed the shampoo out of my hair, put balsam in, and waited a few more minutes. I enjoyed the hot water and the new song 'I know that you did last summer' too much to leave the shower right now.

When I was finally done with the long showering, dancing and singing, I took a towel around me, and one in my hair. I opened the door and checked if anyone had come home, nope, still no one. I was planning to see a movie, so I went down to get some snacks. My favorite snacks, banana muffins.

"I didn't think of you as a singer," a deep well known voice said behind me, Embarrassment flowed through my body. Before I turned around, I prayed not to see Asher. But there he was, Asher stood there, in black shorts, and was shirtless. He was looking at me up and down. Oh shit... I was just in a towel.

"There is a lot about me you don't know," I tried to play it cool, fake it too you make it they say, but i was so embarrassed over he heard me sing, He giggled, and moved closer to me, still looking up and down at me. I felt something in my stomach, Was it... Butterflies? I moved back and he was still moving forward, and suddenly my back touched the refrigerator, and he wasn't stopping getting closer. We had eye contact the whole time. He put his hand on the refrigerator. Now we were inches from each other, again. I could feel his breath. Our breath was in rhythm. He looked from my eyes to my lips. Then opened his mouth.

"Can I open it," he said. I looked over my shoulder, releasing he wanted something in the refrigerator. "Y.. Yes of course," I said, and fumbled over to the table where my snacks were. I took the snacks while I hurried up to my room.

How freaking awkward. I swear I could feel the tension, something was there, I don't know if it was a spark, or some kind of lust, but I felt it, as soon as he moved closer to me. I tried to put the thoughts away, I took a white tight-fitting shirt on, and some shorts. I was just about to start the movie, but then I heard a knock at my door. "Come in," I said.

The door opened, "Can I join," Asher asked. I looked at him, he still had the same short on as before, but now with a black t-shirt. "Yes of course, come in?" I tried not to feel awkward at this moment. He laid down in the bed, and took some of the duvet upon himself.. "What were you about to see?" he looked at me.

"I heard that one tree hill was good so i was about to start on that series, but if you want to see something else we can do that," he took the remote, "Lets see that then," he clicked play on one tree hill episode 1, and i smiled. I really hoped he wanted to, because I was so excited about this series.

We got so hung up on the series that we ended up watching it for many hours. We didn't really talk that much. The only thing we said to each other was, "Can you get me some water," or "Are there any more banana muffins?" I think he likes them as much as I do. Suddenly my eyes got tired, and I tried to stay awake but it was harder than I thought. I laid like a dream covered in a big duvet. So I closed my eyes for about 5 minutes.

"Hey doctor, how is she today?" I asked. I have missed my mom, and was excited to see her again.

"I'm so sorry Scarlett... but your mom is dead" the doctor said. Tears ran down my cheek before I even understood what she said.

"De.. DEAD?" I screamed, and cried. I lost control of my legs, and fell down on the floor. Tears ran down, now faster, and I was shaking.

"No that can't be true, I wanna see my mom." I cried.

"I'm so sorry for your loss."

"Mom"

"MOOOM" i screamed... i was so confused and i cried so hard.

"Scarlett, hey everything is okay, it was a dream." he said and laid a hand on my cheeks.

I was crying so bad, "Hey, Scarlett look at me.'' I looked at him. "Breath in... and breathe out." I did as he said. "Once again, in...and out '' I was still looking into his eyes, and did what he said. I got my breathing under control. "What did you dream," he asked me, his hand still on my cheeks. "Nothing" I said, "and thanks." we layed down, and I put my head on his shoulder and my arm around him. I know it was kind of weird but i was so scared in this moments, so i didnt gave a fuck about how awkward it was. He nuzzled my back, "Everything is okay," he said again before we went back to sleep again.

Next morning the alarm woke me up. I looked to see if Asher was still here, but he was gone. I couldn't remember if, him sleeping in here was also a dream. I looked at the Clock, it was 7, Why did he leave without saying anything? I brushed my dark brown hair, and put it up in a ponytail, then I took some black shorts and a black tank top, because it was so hot outside. I knocked at Maddies door. but no one answered, so I knocked again. Then they answered the door. "Can I come in,?" I said. She had messy hair and was holding a duvet over her. "Can we talk later," she said, "I'm kinda busy," she giggled, and so did Julian from the bed. "Oh, i'm so sorry," i couldn't stop laughing, did i just cockblock them. I went downstairs to get some food before today's practice. I couldn't see him anywhere, not upstairs, not down here. Weird. But someone else was. Cole. He looked handsome as always, but also like an arrogant jerk. He smirked at me, and I just rolled my eyes, before I looked back at my cheerios.

"Eyy," I looked up, it was Julian and Maddie who came downstairs, at the same time Asher came home. He was shirtless again. I think I could get used to that.

"Tonight homie, we are getting fucked up." Julian has been awake for, I don't know, 30 minutes, and he's already ready to get drunk asf.

"Tonight you don't ditch us," Liam said. Asher just smirked and we made eye contact.

"Fine boys, lets get fucked tonight" all the boys jumped and yelled. I guessed this is gonna be a wild night. "You're also going, Scarlett," Julian pointed at me. "I-" Asher interrupted me. "Come on, Scar," He smirked.

"Alright alright" I stood there with my arm crossed."Ihh yay, you don't know how it is to be the only girl with all those boys," Maddie whispered. No but now I will find out. I liked parting, it's just, im in a different country, without knowing people, thats whats freaking me out.

"Today's practice is different, I want Cole, Jack, Liam, to practice on their solos. Then I want the group dance by Noah, Landon, Lucas, Isack, and Asher to practice together. Then instead of practicing Ashers and Scarletts duo. You, Scarlett are gonna practice your own solo," Julian pointed at me and I nodded to him. Making my own solo, I'm excited about that. "Let's get started," I gave Maddie the "Come here look," and she followed me.

"Wanna help me make my first solo," She looked just as excited as I did.

"Of course, I wanna help you."

"So I thought about whether we should take a chair in the middle. I start here, and then walk to the chair..." I told Her my idea, then we practiced my idea, then she came up with more ideas. I'm sure this solo is gonna be so amazing.

"Why don't you dance?" I asked because she really had talent.

"I don't want to."

"Is there a reason?" I didn't want to be too much, I just didn't understand.

"When i was younger i loved dancing, and so did my mom, she couldn't dance, so she used me to live out her dream. She forced me to train every day, and go to competitions, in the end it wasn't funny anymore. She just ruined it for me."

"Oh i'm so sorry about that,"

"Don't worry about that, everything is fine" she smiled, "Let's take it one more time, this time maybe together." She looked at me waiting for an answer.

"Of Course Maddie, let's do that.
