I feel alive

Rescue You

Sunshine? What Sunshine?!

Summer: Why do I feel like I just made a big mistake?

Noah: Please don't tell me you kissed Henry again

Summer: Okay 1: He isn't even in Toronto anymore. 2: I got over him AGES ago

Summer: No I....left the studio

Noah: You what?! Really???

Summer: Yeah, Nationals is starting up again, so a-troupe and b-troupe were all fighting again over who gets to go. I just can't deal with all of that anymore. It just seems like all the studio is doing now is fighting, my passion for it all is just not there anymore. I don't want to have to fight to be a dancer

Noah: I'd be lying if I said the place wasn't toxic. Sure, many of us were friends there and still are, but half the time is was us pit up against each-other. Honestly, that was part of the reason I left, I do love you guys, but part of me couldn't deal with leading anymore. I'm proud of you for realising that and making your own decision though, Summer

Summer: But what if it was a bad idea?! They were my friends, people I have danced and spent time with for almost 3 years now and I just abandoned them

Summer: This has been my main hobby since I was young, should I really just give it all up???

Noah: Time doesn't determine how much you should love something, including friends. If something or someone is causing you to feel that down and uninspired in life, then you don't owe them shit!!! You should be doing what's best for you, for once

Noah: I'll stick by you no matter what decision you make, okay

Summer: Thanks No, for everything really. Even after everything that happened with my other friends, you've always been by my side. Ever since I came to this place

Summer: You're honestly my best friend

Noah: You're one of mine too, and you don't deserve what happened last year whatsoever. I'm here if you ever need me, just call if you want

Summer: I'll take you up on that sometime, I just wish now I knew what to do. I've graduated from high-school now and was putting my effort in dance instead of college. Seems like it's all going to waste now

Noah: Maybe it doesn't have to

Summer: What do you mean???

Noah: You don't have to COMPETE anymore cause it's causing you too much pain, but I know you still love dancing itself. So, maybe I could help you out.

Noah: The touring company I'm at has a few spots open for auditions for our spring tour. I could pay for you to get a plane to New York and stuff?

Summer: Noah, are you serious?! You actually have a spot open?!!?!? Wait, I can't take it, how am I going to get the money for an apartment and a job to pay for rent this quick?!?!??

Noah: Hey, easy easy. My apartment is way too big anyway just living by myself and I've been looking for a roommate.

Summer: Are you saying I could come live with you?!

Noah: I mean, if you want? Sorry, it was a stupid idea, you probably don't...

Summer: Are you kidding?!?!? I would LOVE to be roommates!!! OMG THIS WILL BE THE BEST, AS LONG AS I GET THAT SPOT ON THE TOUR

Noah: YES!!! OK I'LL GET YOU THAT TICKET AND ASK JAMES OR RILEY IF THEY COULD DROP ME OFF TO PICK YOU UP WHEN YOU LAND

Noah: Considering they don't let me drive since I'm a "hazard" to the roads

Summer:......

Noah: NOT YOU TOO 😭😭

Summer: I'm just saying, I've seen you drive, and haven't gotten in your car since

Noah: -_-

~~~

Summer: I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT

Noah: YESSSSSSSS!!! YES YES YES!!!

Noah: Okay, I'm grabbing the drinks! We are CELEBRATING tonight!!!

Summer: Please tell me we have more there than boring beer, hate that stuff

Noah: What do I look like? An imbecile? My drawers are stocked up with red wine

Summer: This is why you're my bestie

Noah: To rob me out of my alcohol supply? Gee thanks

Summer: You know what I mean you idiot

~~~

Noah:....so.....that happened...

Summer: Which part do you mean? When I tripped over while walking in and almost chipping my tooth? Dropping the wine bottle and you almost cutting yourself when trying to clean up the glass?

Summer: Or do you mean us getting so drunk and ending up in your bed

Noah: The last one

Summer: So, what does this mean? I've never really...done that with much people, especially my closest friends

Noah: I'm as lost as you are. There's been a few one night stands with random girls and guys at clubs since I got here, but nothing that serious

Summer: Part of me wants to just talk in person about this, but now I think we should be focusing on you coming out

Noah: How about the first option? I'm just getting groceries right now. I'll be back in a moment

Piper Protection Squad

Summer: So, we have some news

Amy: Who's the "we" in this???

Noah: Summer and I

Piper: Is it that you've finally gotten over the sexual tension and fucked?!

Noah:........

Summer:......uh, yes? How long have you two been discussing this

Amy: Honestly? Since you arrived at the studio. Thought it would happen sooner if Noah wasn't with Jacquie at the time. Though, I was never going to say it as outright as SOMEONE here 😒

Piper: I don't have time to beat around bushes. So happy for you two though!!!

Noah: Thanks...ig?

Noah: Okay Summer, let's just take this back to my room

Summer: Yes please

Amy: DID NOT NEED TO TELL US THAT!!!!!

Noah: THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT

Summer: I mean-

Noah: -_-
