Pirouette

Chapter Fifty Three // Voice Messages

- Bethany's POV -

I waited outside the nurses office while Cody was being checked out for whatever happened to him at the park, my ears were ringing and my eyes were slowly closing.

"Bethany?" The nurse said which brought me back into reality, she let me come into the examination room where Cody was sitting drinking some water.

"Cody had a panic attack.. A severe one it seems" The nurse explained to me, I looked over at him and he stared at the floor in shame.

"Why was he panicking? Was it about Kim?" I asked, Cody shook his head and the nurse took a seat at her desk.

"Tomorrow Casey is watching our class do assignments and we haven't even practised ours. I'm a crap dancer anyway but I can't even try without knowing the choreography" He said with a huge frown on his face. I sat down beside him and sighed.

"I'm really sorry for not listening to you this morning. I believe that you're one of the most talented dancers in first year, you just don't see it in yourself" I said with a drunken grin, Cody smiled at me then drank some more water.

"Let's go to the studio" I said before taking his hand, we skipped out of the boarding house and down to the academy.

We are going to slay tomorrow.

- Kim's POV -

There was a tall bridge which crossed over a stream in the middle of the forest, I sat on the side and dangled my legs over the edge.

It felt weird being inches close to death but still the possibility of life if I just stood up and walked away.

I may over exaggerate in my feelings but it's just the way I am, anything will trigger me. It's a curse.

My phone was receiving hundreds of text messages and phone calls, obviously I ignored them all.

I can't face the fact that Hayden loves me because I know I will break his heart and I don't want to do that.

I know that my parents don't give a shit about me, the only reason they adopted me when I was five was because I was the only child left in the care home.

I am positive that I will let all of my friends down and everyone in the academy down, I'm not good at ballet and I never will be.

I'm a coward and I don't want to face this life anymore.

My phone continued to beep loudly in my back pocket, there were ten voice messages from Hayden. I played one and closed my eyes.

"Kim.. Kim please answer me I'm so scared. I didn't mean to make you upset, we care about you. Please pick up the phone"

"Kim please answer me!! This isn't funny anymore!! I fucking love you more than anyone and I need you, I need you Kim"

"I'm going to find you, I promise"

"Please don't let go, don't do it again okay? I am going to look after you from now on and it's going to be okay-"

I deleted all of the messages and began to cry loudly, my screeches echoed around the silent forest.

How can he care this much about me?

I don't know what to do anymore.
