Prima Ballerina(#Wattys2015)

Communication

We didn't talk much through dinner we only finalized for us to meet up to go to dinner and a movie this weekend..what..its not a date we are just gonna talk about our parts then hit up a re-airing of Dark Swan a ballet movie based upon Swan Lake completely harmless. 

After dinner I sit staring at the phone knowing I had to call her she would be mad if I didn't. Why!?!?!?!? must calling ones mother be such a dilemma.

I have to do it. 

As it rings I wonder what I am gonna say but I don't have to wonder for long "I wondered when you would bother to call me" My mom says with a condescending voice. "Hi Mom I wanted to tell you some news!" I say feigning happyness.

"I got the solo I am gonna be Odette/Odile!!!!" I scream knowing  she would be excited for me.

"Well it's about time I was wondering if you were ever gonna finally decided to use the skills I paid for. I worked my ass off to get you trained in ballet and for the past few years you have been "Oh it's all Marie's fault she us such a biotch how could she have ever made company yet alone be come the star of the show that is just not fair whaa whaa boo hoo" she said in a condescending voice. 

 It was true though my mum had worked three low paying jobs so I could dance and now she  was rich thanks to the lottery. "How could you say that" I say in outrage "I have no choice in who they cast I have always done my best inside and outside auditions in fact the only reason Marie was soloist was because her family is a huge donor to the Company she was moved for financial gain" I finish absolutely pissed off "Good talking to you Mom I thoroughly injured that conversation" I say my voice heavy with sarcasm then I slam the phone down and because of my anger end up breaking my screen.

"Well shit gonna have took get this fixed soon" I say grabbing for my TV remote. I need something to distract me maybe a love story. Hmmm there's is no better love story the the Fault in our Stars I dip it on prepared for the heartbreak that was inevitable.

Two hours later I am sitting in front of the TV crying my eyes out when my phone rings as I pick it up I see it's my best friend from my old studio. "I am gonna be a soloist!!!!!" I say answering the call. "I know" she says sounding excited "Because I just got quite call from a women named Lara and she said she wants me to be your lead swan maiden" she squeaks into my ear. Katie had been rejected from more than quite few companies because the world of ballet is not body diverse unfortunately but working with her was gonna be amazing I remember working with her for duets with her taking the male role and me taking the party as the helpless little dancer.

 Ahh good times.

"I am moving to Chicago in a week I will be there Saturday" she says "Anyways I gotta go pack talk to you later" she finishes the hands up quickly. Huh must have been needing to pack.

 As I head to bed I get a text from someone I did not expect to hear from.

 My father.

 "I want it known that I am proud of you" he texts me typical he never really liked to talk to me after all I was his basterdchild who ruined his marriage he pretended to love me and be proud of me but I know it's just for good looks see my dad he is the head of a huge law firm the irony is that his law firm specializes in divorces. I bet my mother told him she was still in contact with him though (as far as I know) they had not done anything in years (I hope). I place an order for a new leotard then head for bed knowing that I was free till Saturday.

 Relaxation here I come.
