Forgive Me

Riley's POV

I walk into studio A and head straight for my cubby, eyes fixed to my phone again. This had been happening lately and I couldn't deal with it, Emily and I were too afraid for anyone to find out about what is happening outside of dance. I reread the messages over and over, wishing that this wasn't happening but I know it is. I think I hear someone calling my name but I ignore it and keep walking.

I place my phone in my cubby and check my makeup, reapplying mascara so everyone thinks everything is normal, hiding that I spent all morning crying. I lean over to put my mirror back into my dance bag when I feel a pair of strong arms around my waist pulling me in.

"Hey baby girl" James smiles, turning me around and sweetly pecking my lips as he smiles down at me.

"Morning James" I grin but he looks into my eyes and notices the puffiness and redness.

"Baby have you been crying?" he asks tilting my head to look at him properly,

"No, I got shampoo in them by accident this morning. I'm so silly sometimes" I lie, smiling at him. I haven't even told my boyfriend about this situation. I want to but I don't know how.

"Okay babe, I'm so excited for the date I got planned for us tonight. I feel like I never see you lately so I want to make this extra special for my girl" he grins and I smile back, I love how James puts so much thought into our relationship all of the time. He's so sweet. But my stomach turns when he adds

"Where were you last night Ri? I called six times but your phone was off?"

"Oh I was home but my phone died in my bag and I forgot to charge it, also my ipod was playing super loud so I couldn't hear the main phone" I lie again.

"I hope you don't have to bail this time Riles, because I want tonight to be special" he says sweetly, but he doesn't know why I've been bailing out on dates. I love him but this situation has to come first. No matter how much I want to spend time with James I don't think the others will understand.

"Me too James" I agree, pulling him into a kiss which soon becomes a passionate make out session in front of A-troupe who just stand there, disgusted.

"Let's rehearse guys" Giselle suddenly shouts.

................

Finally rehearsal is over after three hours. No messages in that time so I guess I'm clear to go tonight with James. I happily go to my cubby and retrieve my phone to find two missed calls and a text from Emily. And this time is worse than before. I have to leave now, but I owe it to James to tell him I can't come face to face.

"Erm James? I need to talk to you" I whisper as I approach him and the boys. I see his face turn from a smile to disappointed when he sees the phone in my hand.

"Cancelling again Ri? FOR GODS SAKE! I TRY SPENDING TIME WITH YOU AND YOU CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO SHOW UP. ALWAYS TOO BUSY FOR YOUR BOYFRIEND. I SPEND AGES PLANNING TONIGHT AND NOW IT'S WASTED. ARE YOU GOING TO EVEN BOTHER GIVING ME AN EXCUSE THIS TIME?" He yells at me clearly mad, and A-troupe falls silent but James doesn't seem to care.

"COME ON RILEY, WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE THIS TIME. YOU CHEATING ON ME OR SOMETHING?" He growls and I can't believe he'd suspect that, especially after he cheated on me last year.

"No James, it's that-" I begin calmly but he cuts me off

"YOU KNOW WHAT RILEY? I DON'T CARE. SAVE YOUR EXCUSES. WE'RE DONE. YOU CLEARLY DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP LIKE I DO. SO I'M DONE. WE'RE OVER" He shouts before stomping off and leaving me stood there with tears pricking in my eyes. His words repeat in my head I don't care...we're done. I turn and run out of the studio, past all of A-troupe who stand there in silence, past James who's talking to some B-troupe girls and doesn't even look at me, or flirting more like, and out to Emily's car, tears rolling down my cheeks.
