MY BAG IS SWUNG ACROSS MY BODY AND I WALK INTO THE LIVING ROOM. My parents aren't home. They're never home now. I sigh, grabbing a sticky note and a pen.

I put the note on the counter and grab my keys. I open the front door and lock it, placing the keys into my ballet bag. A car waits outside my house for me and I walk over to it, opening the passenger seat. "Are you Miss Tallulah Delacruz?" The driver asks me and I nod. "Yes, that's me." The driver nods and the car pulls away and drives to the airport.

I pant out and try to calm my raging heart. "Take a break." Eleanor calls out and I nod. Ben lets go of my waist and I step off pointe. He looks at me and smiles, politely. "That was really good, you were amazing." I smile at him. "Yeah, you were too." I pant out and he smiles sweetly at me. He goes over to his bag and grabs his drink.

I sit myself on the floor and fall into the splits. I stretch my legs out before going into a frog sit position and resting there. I push my knees down further, even though they touch the floor. I breathe slowly and let my raging heart calm down.

"Tallulah." Miss Carter calls out and I look at her. "You know all of the dances, don't you?" She asks me and I nod. "Perfect, then the only thing we need to work on is the pas de deux's." I smile at her and reach over to grab my drink. I sit myself in box splits and drink my water.

"If the both of you are ready, we can continue." I nod and put my drink back over by my stuff and stand up. Ben pushes himself from the floor. I walk into the centre of the room on a diagonal. My head is down and I move to walk forwards.

I stop walking and look upwards. I rise to fifth and couru backwards, my arms float upwards and my head falls downwards. I back to flat and lift my leg into a passé. My arms fall before rising upwards in coordination with my leg. I hold them up before resisting them down.

I slide my right leg backwards into arabesque and spin around before facing a corner with my leg behind me and bending backwards. I stand upwards and my hands cross over my heart. I plié and brisé into the air. I land and stretch my body to the side before lifting my left leg into the air.

I turn my right heel for my body to face Ben with my leg in arabesque and hold my hands on my stomach and lean forwards with my leg lifting into a penché. I rise upwards and rush to the side before running to the other and then couruing into the centre.
