The Next Step. (A Dance Moms Fanfiction) *Finished*

Chapter 4. "Where's Chloe Part 2"

Brooke's POV

The girls and I start stretching. We take our places for the group dance and begin dancing to the music. Brandon is in this week's group dance. Brandon is one of Abby's best dancer, besides Maddie.

"LET'S GO GIRLS! WORK IT! MADDIE! DON'T BEND YOUR LEFT LEG! MAKE IT STRAIGHT. BROOKE, USE YOUR ABS MORE IN YOUR TURNS! MACKENZIE, DON'T BE SO CUTE! IT DOESN'T GET YOU ANYWHERE! NIAA! WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT YOUR LEGS?! GIRLS, THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!!" Abby says, as she watches us do the group routine.

Our moms were watching us upstairs in the reviewing area.

"URGH! Why does she always yell at our kids and not the other kids she works with?! It makes me so mad!" Holly says.

"I know right! Brooke and Paige deserve better than this! I'm going to go and set her straight." Kelly says, as she begins to walk downstairs.

She marches right into the studio, DURING rehersal and glares over at Abby.

"Abby, If you want the kids to work more and win more at competitions then, Don't yell at them during rehersal."

"Kelly, I went through this with your mother too. Don't pull this shit with me. Now, Get out. We're practicing here..."

"NO! Abby. Your been a real pain in my ass right now. Brooke. Paige. Let's go. NOW." And with that, Kelly walks out with Brooke and Paige far behind.

"Mom! I have to practice my solo! Paige and I haven't even started on the routine yet!!! Please!" I say, following my mom out to the car.

"Brooke Marie Hyland, Don't argue with me about this! Abby is being a bitch about it! If you want too stay, Get a ride with Holly and Nia. Okay?"

"Fine."

"YAY! We're staying?!" Paige says, jumping up and down.

"Yes. Just make sure Holly drives you home, Okay?"

"Yes Mom. Thank you!" We both say then run inside and to Holly.

"Holly, Our mom wants you to drive us home after we're done at the studio. She's had enough with Abby. They were cursing at each other.." I say

"Okay. I'll do that. Go back into the studio and get that duet started, okay?

We both nod and run into the studio, too see Chloe crying and Christi yelling at Abby.

"Abby, She had a school field trip that she couldn't miss! Don't blame her. School comes first. I told you that."

"Yeah. I know. But, Thanks to that trip, Chloe just lost her solo too Brooke."

Chloe looks at me and I frown. I walk over and say, "Sorry Chloe... She gave it too me because you weren't here..."

"It's okay.. Brooke.. Its.. not.. your...fault.." She says and then starts bawling again.

"Abby, just shut up about it!" And with that, She walks upstairs to the other moms. "Where's Kelly?"

"She left. Brooke and Paige are getting a ride home with Nia and I."

"Oh. She had a fight with Abby again, huh?"

"Ohhhh. Yes. There was cursing and everything."

"Wow. That's stupid."

"Yeah well, Abby's stupidier."

"That's true." Christi laughs and then texts Kelly.

"Alright. Chloe, Get the steps from the other girls for the group dance. Tomorrow is the day of the competition. DO NOT MESS THIS UP!"

----------------- DAY OF COMPETITION------------------------------

ABBY'S P.O.V

The girls and the mothers get onto the bus and settle down.

"GIRLS! I EXCEPT YOU TO BE GETTING INTO COSTUMES AND MAKE-UP!"

"Yes, Miss Abby."

"BUS DRIVER JIM, LET'S GO!" And with that, the bus starts to move.

6 hours later, We arrive at StarTroupe Dance Competiton in Ohio. Great. Cathy and her apples are here.

"Girls, Get ready. Mackenzie, Your first. DON'T FORGET IT!"

"Yes, Miss Abby." She says, walking out to the backstage area.

"Brooke, Your after. So, Go and take your place."

"Yes Ma'am." And with that, she leaves the room.

"Maddie, Your last. So, Impress me. Okay?"

"Yes, Miss Abby" She walks out to the backstage area.

Mackenzie goes on stage and starts dancing. Then, she freezes and runs off stage. I roll my eyes.

Brooke goes on stage and impresses the judges with her arco tricks, then runs off stage.

Maddie does her solo and runs off stage.

"Next is the duet. Brooke, Paige. Don't mess this up. Second is the first too lose. Got it?"

"Yes Miss Abby."

They go on stage and perform the duet then run off stage.

The group goes and Chloe messes it up. Due to her not being here for the past couple of days. I won't be surprised if the group doesn't place.
