Give Me Love

Chapter 2: Girl Calm Down

Once I get home, I head to the kitchen to get some food before I get ready. I have dance competition tryouts today. My age division doesn't start till 6, and it's 2:45 now so I still have time.

I caught a ride from Christian when he was taking Jess home. Mo had to stay after school for something for art,  and I was not going to ride the bus. I refuse.

Around 4 my mom got home, and started dinner.

"Are you ready for this?" My mom asks

"I mean I don't know. Plenty of kids my age wanna get into this company, mom. What if I'm not good enough this year or I go in there and forget or screw up. Everyone is replaceable, and what if maybe this year I'm the one being replaced. Like I go in there every year do the same thing, what if they're just not impressed anymore? Or what if I just can't do it?" I say

"Well I wouldn't say that, I know you can do it, Ty knows you can do it, Daddy knows you cant do it. And you know you can do it. It might be deep deep deep deep down; but you know it." She says

"But mom yo--," I say my, but she cuts me off.

"But mom what? I've had it Delylah! I can't stand to see you bring yourself down. It makes me want to cry.  You tell yourself your not good enough, when in reality your more than enough. Constantly bring yourself down is not healthy. How do expect to go anywhere in life? Out there people will tell you things way worse then what your telling yourself. What are you gonna do then?" She says getting frustrated with me. I didn't mean to set her off.

I just nod my head and go back upstairs to my room.

I start making sure I have everything inside my bag.

Until, it's time to go I sit in my room on my phone, texting Monaè.

Hey

Hey Mo, what's up?

Nuthin' much. I can't wait till next week!!

Why?

Michael is coming. Well he's already here but you know what I mean.

Oh yeah. Mo I gotta tell you something.

Ok. Wassup?

Tbh, I didn't really like when you kept talking about me getting a boyfriend at lunch. As much as I love you and I know you were just trying to help I didn't really appreciate it.

Oh. I'm sorry, Dee. I was only ttying to help. And I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable or anything, but you've always been sad. Even if your didn't want to say anything. Jessica and I could always tell, we just never asked you because we knew you would deny it. Micheal is a good guy, he's sweet, VERY respectful,  he's freaking adorable, and he can sing.

I thank you for looking out for me, I really do, but I'm not looking for a boyfriend at the moment.

I know, I know. But I gotta go, I just got to Micheal's house. You'll do good at tryouts trust me!

Alright. Thank you

I start watching tv, since I have nothing to do now. For some reason I start getting hooked on SpongeBob, and I cannot stop laughing.

It's around 5 right now, so I turn my tv off, grab my bag, turn all my lights off and go down stairs to the living room.

"Mom, are you ready?" I say

"Yeah. Get the keys for me, I have to grab my purse." She says looking around for her purse.

"Alright, I'll be out in the car." I say grabing my keys and going outside.

I get and the car but I don't start it, I just get on my phone.

I go on Instagram and start scolling through trying to waste time. Out of no where I hear the door slam close and someone sit beside me, so I scream.

"Girl, will you calm down." My mom says rolling her eyes.

I'm breathing really fast and holding my heart because I almost had a heart attack.

"You scared the life out of me mom, don't do that." I say out of breath.

"Whatever. Start the car and c'mon, your going to be late." She says being smart.

When I hear the word late, I immediately start the car and drive away. I do not want to be late.

My mom and I don't really talk on the way. She's probably over the whole 'argument' I am too, but being the awkward person I am, I don't say anything. But I cannot take it anymore this is killing me.

"I'm sorry," I say looking over at her.

"For what?" She sats not even looking at me

I let out a big sigh, "Mom seriously." I say.

"Oh I'm not mad it just gets on my nerves. You're a beautiful and intelligent girl, I don't see any reasaon why you would talk down on yourself like that." She sats shrugging her shoulders.

"Yeah," I say rolling my eyes.

As I pull up on my studio, I let out a big breath and start shaking.

"Calm down. You'll do good," she says getting out.

"Okay. Love you. See you later," I say grabbing my bag and getting out.

Once I get in, I head to the 'lounge', as us dancers call it.

"Hey Dee," one of my friends say.

"Hey, I'm so scared man!" I say

"Ugh for what? You'll do fine," she says waving her hand at me.

I get down on the ground and start streching. I do some splits and strech out my arms.

"Cole, do some streches with me." I say

"Kay," he says but it's muffled by the food in his mouth.

"Can you ever stop eating?" I say laughing

"Shut up" he says getting on the floor.

We sat on thr floor with our legs stretched out and our feet touching pulling each other back and forth.

"Guys it's almost time," one of the instructors comes in and tells us.

I stand up, making sure my number is pinned on straight. I get a sip of water out my bottle and wait.

The juniors come back in with red cheeks and hair sticking to faces. This makes me scared, they actually worked them.

"Seniors come in," someone calls.

I crack my knuckles before I walk in there and take a deep breath.

When I got in there, there were five judges sitting in the corner. We start off with some technique things.

Then we did floor work, like leeps and stuff. Then she told us to all sit on the floor, and one by one we had to do seven or more pirouettes. I was like the fourth on to go so I started shaking.

"Delylah," she said

I stood up, took and deep breath and started. I didn't even count I just did it.

"Eleven, that's good." I hear one of the judges whisper. I guess I did eleven.

After everyone is finished she anouces what we are doing next, "Okay now we are going to start the dance combo," she says looking at her keyboard.

Here we go........
