*Maddie*

Five, Six, Seven, Eight, and Pose

I was down in my dance room warming up before my 2 o'clock dress rehearsal for my competition this weekend. It's on Saturday and today's only Thursday, apparently my "..sister..." or if I can even call her that is flying in tonight with her teammate Tobin.

I know her because Alex and Tobin used to play club soccer before they were drafted together and she was like my other sister.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

"Maddie we need to drop you off now, if I can't make it to the studio on the way home from the airport Kylie can give you a ride."

"Yay okay mom lets go"

I run into the car with my dance bag and within the next 5 minutes I'm there.

{Some background information you might need to know about me, Kylie moved in to the house next door about 2 years ago when I started dance and she was a dancer too. She's helped me so much and we instantly became best friends.

Soon it because a little bit more and long story short she's my girlfriend and yes I'm gay, also yes our parents are fully supportive.

The thing is.. the only people that know are my mom, her parents, and our competition team.

For now that's all you need to know.}

We pull into the front of the studio .."Bye Momma love you".. we exchange love you's and I run into the studio.

"Mads get you're cute little butt over here!"

Yup that's my girlfriend.

I giggle and run to her as we hug and she gives me a quick kiss. We start talking as we walk into the studio to start warming up.

"Ky-Ky soo how was your dayy?"

As we get into our splits and stretch our legs.

"It's great now that you're here baby."

We get a chorus of Aw's from our teammates/best friends; there's Kylie, Emma, Maya, Jaycee, and I.

Soon Mrs. Heather comes in and we all get into a line for some group warm-up.

Mrs.H: "Girls today we're going to be going through all the dances for this weekends competition so if you're not dancing I want you to watch! We will be critiquing each other's dances and helping each other out as a team! So it might take a little while since each of you has a solo! Let's get to work first up we have Emma's solo. Everyone else sit along the mirror."

"Hey Tobin my moms here waiting for us outside the terminal, let's go find her and grab our luggage."

She nods and we walk towards baggage claim where I finally see my mom.. I thought maybe Maddie would want to come but I don't blame her.

We finally reach her and I engulf her in a hug.

"Mom I've missed you so much! I'm so happy to be home!"

"Of course baby, and hello Tobin it's always great to see you and I'm so happy you're staying over with us! Consider me you're temporary mom, it's not like you haven't stayed with us before hahaha"

The three of us start laughing and head to the car.

"Mom where's Maddie?"

"Oh I forgot, looks like we'll be able to pick her up."

"From where?"

"Dance."

"She dances?"

"Honestly you must not have talked to her for a long time, after you left she decided to start dance classes and she's a natural. She picked up faster then any other student her teachers said. She's on the elite competition team, she's a star at her studio and has competitions almost every weekend. The kid almost always wins an award her, well your, room is filled with them; crowns, trophys, plaques, medals, everything."

"Really wow oh my god I had no idea"

I can't believe this, if I just sucked it up and called her then I could've come back for competitions or something. What did I do she probably hates me now.

"Hey Alex, Tobin, were here. Rehearsal should be over in about 15 minutes. You can come watch if you'd like but I know you had a long flight so you can stay in the car."

"Alex why don't we go watch I want to see my little munchkin again anyway."

We decide to go and watch and we walk in and there's pictures of her and 4 other girls in multiple costumes everywhere.

We walk into this viewing room where we can watch the class and it looks like a group of three girls are dancing but none is her, then I look around and I see her sitting on the mirror holding hands with another girl.

Probably best friends.

Mom instantly starts talking to the other 4 moms and soon introduces us, everyone seems to know me as "Maddie's older sister" and I'm proud of that but is this how she feels?

Her and the same girl head the the center of the room now and get into position, in guessing their doing a duet, I can't wait to see her dance.

*Maddie*

I feel a nudge on my side, and Kylie grabs my hand and smiles, were watching the trio now with Maya, Emma, and Jaycee.

"Um Maddie I think we might have an issue."

"Kylie what're you talking about the trio is flawless!"

"Of course it is but that's not it.. there's someone in the viewing room who came in with you're mom who looks JUST like you're sister and her friend."

"WHAT"

I take a quick glance and well well well it's her, didn't think she would have the nerve to show up here.

I got increasingly nervous and all the feeling I felt when she left started to come back by seeing her again.

Kylie gives my hand a squeeze and a kiss.

"Baby just dance you're heart out and show her what you're made of okay? You can do this I believe in you."

The trio finished and it was our turn so we get into position and I can feel her eyes on me. The music starts and I've never danced harder.

We end in our final position and I take a quick glance and all I can is, her jaw is on the floor right now.
