dirty little secrets

gone for good

Jaquies pov:
After what michelle did last night, I really didn't want to come to rehearsal today, but noah managed to convince me that she would only do worse if I didn't show up.

I may be a little late, but I've tried to compose myself before coming in here today. The thought of even being around michelle disgusts me right now.

How could she even think about doing that to someone?

She tried to break up noah and I, and clearly, she's had no regrets about it.

Michelle is evil, she dosent care about anyone but herself. Clearly, she's just jealous of noah and I, and that's why she has done this or mabye she just can't handle the fact that I'm the only person in the studio who will stand up to her.

Mabye, she can't face the fact that I'm not scared of her like everyone else.

After taking some time to keep my cool and compose myself, I decide to head up to the studio, and as soon as I walk in, all attention turns to me.

"Jaquie. How nice of you to finally join us?" Michelle says, a patronising tone in her voice.

"You're only...an hour late."

I roll my eyes, attempting to ignore her, "Whatever."

As I look up from the corner of my eye, I see Michelle's eyes on me, a slight smirk showing on her face. I brush it off and continue with rehearsal as normal until michelle begins to push me to the point where I can't handle being in the same room as her.

"Jaquie, turn out your legs!" She begins to correct me.

My legs are turned out. What more does she want? For me to break my legs?

I sigh deeply, attempting to follow her correction.

Her voice begins to irritate me as she stands there acting normal. Like she's done nothing wrong.

Suddenly, the whole rehearsal comes to a stop when the floods of anger come pouring out of me, "You know what!? Fuck you michelle!"

I begin to approach her and she glares in to my eyes, "You're a liar! You know what you did!"

"I won't stand here and act like I don't care!"

Suddenly, I find myself putting my hands on her as I shove her backwards, "You think you own the world, don't you!?"

"You think you can get away with whatever you want!"

"Well, you can't!"

Michelle's pov:
As jaquie begins to hit me and spray her anger at me, I find myself holding back the grin that's ready to form.

My plan is working.

"You're an awful person, michelle!"

Suddenly, her hand comes into contact with my face as she sleeps me.

I hear quiet gasping come from around the room as I face her. I don't fight back. I leave her to take her anger out on me.

She pulls on my hair, continues to hit me, and throws hurtful comments at me, but I don't move an inch or say a word.

As she continues to lash out, I finally hear Emily's voice come from across the room, and I decide to turn on my tears to get her attention.

"Jaquie!" Emily raises her voice.

"That is enough!"

As emily approaches us, a cunning grinn appears on my face for just a moment as I hear the words, "jaquie, office now." Come from emily.

"B-but-" jaquie begins.

"I said now!" Emily raises her voice, and for a moment, I find her more attractive than usual.

After jaquie hesitantly leaves to go to the office, Emily's attention then turns to me, "michelle, are you alright?"

I sniffle slightly, "Yeah, i-ill be okay.."

...

Emily, jaquie, and I are now in the office, we've sent all of the other dancers home early today after what happened.

Emily seems pretty angry at jaquie right now, I'm letting her have this one as I don't want to look like this was planned.

"Jaquie, your behaviour today was unacceptable."

"You don't just attack your studio head like that."

I listen as emily comes to my defence, "Do you know what you've done to michelle!? She's traumatised!"

I nod slowly, keeping silent as emily continues.

"She doesn't expect to come to work and be attacked by her dancers, jaquie!"

This plan has to work. Surley emily won't allow her to stay after this. She seems pretty angry right now, but emily can cave easily.

"What was that out there? You can't just lash out like that for no reason." Emily lowers her voice.

"I-i" jaquie stutters.

She knows that she can't tell the truth, so she has no reason. She just looks crazy.

"I don't have a reason..." she hangs her head.

"In that case..." Emily sighs.

"I'm sorry, jaquie, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"This is unacceptable, and this kind of behaviour won't be tolerated by michelle or I."

"What!?" Jaquie replies.

"No! Emily, please -" She begs.

I sit back and watch this finally happen, I've been waiting so long for this moment.

"Jaquie, I need you to leave." Emily repeats.

Jaquie then stands up from her seat, her head hanging low as she slowly walks out of the office.

I feel the smile on my face grow as I watch her leave in silence.

I decide to compliment emily on how she took control just now, "You were amazing just now."
