Hazel Vertez

The Runaway Mom

S2 E8

(Just so you know Kendall is now in the junior category bc she had her birthday)

Kendall told me that Miss Abby had something in stored for me and her.

I wonder what it is.

"Let's go girls. Get in here, shake the lead out" Miss Abby says.

"Ok. Now Hollywood vibe last week. You did an Ok job. I thought they could have been better"

"Moving on. This week we are going to fire and ice right here in Pittsburgh" Miss Abby says.

We all clap.

"And I have a reputation to uphold. It's much more difficult to walk in and compete against people you know, then a bunch of strangers"

"Ok. Let's get to the pyramid. I hate to do this, but Kendall and Hazel, you guys are back on probation"

"And Hazel, it's sad because you just won your category with your solo, but your mom had to run her mouth" Miss Abby says.

I look at mom with teary eyes.

Noo, please.

"That's ridiculous, Abby. What more do you want from them?" Mom snapped.

"Hazel is great but Kendall, your head is distended, your shoulders are hunched, your rib cage is open. Hazel is on probation because of your mouth" Miss Abby says to mom.

I start to cry.

"Are you kidding me! You're kidding me, right?" Mom says.

"No. Kendall doesn't make the corrections. I have been telling her since the audition about her posture, and it has not improved once" Miss Abby says.

Chloe and Paige comfort me.

"I can't even believe. You know what? You should be on probation not my daughters" Mom fights back.

"I don't even know why I'm here. You had nothing nice to say to them since the second, we got here. You know what Abby? They do a lot right" Mom says.

"She turns like a top, but that's what's good. I don't need to fix that" Miss Abby says about Kendall.

"There's a lot of studios who would love what they do right. And you know what, Abby? We are going to one of those studios. I'm not putting up with this crap anymore. We're done" Mom says and takes me and Kendall.

"That's it" Mom says and we leave studio A.

"You know, she doesn't appreciate what you guys have. I'll take you or someone appreciates you guys" Mom says and we pack you are stuff.

"I don't wanna leave" I cried.

"It's time" Mom says.

"We'll go where they will treat you with respect, they'll give you great numbers, they might even let you guys do a solo or two"

We soon leave and go.

I cry all the way home.

I wanna dance!

"Listen guy. I'm not putting up with this crap anymore. I can't have you guys at a place that doesn't appreciate you and all they do is tear you guys down. That probation is ridiculous. You guys did nothing wrong. It was my fault, she should put me on probation not you. Were don't at Abby's" Mom says.

"I'm taking you guys somewhere where they are going to appreciate you guys"

She then makes a phone call.
