Rewind into the future

13- Together again

Riley
I wake up in an unfamiliar enviroment and realise that I'm on James' bed. James' bed! Charlie is going to kill me. Obviously I don't want to be with Charlie but what other choice do I have. He is just controlling. When I fell for him, he was different, now I know him, I don't want to. I don't want him. I want James. Where is James. I get up off his bed and go downstairs.

James: Hey you alright

I nod my head and sit on the sofa next to him.

James: Listen I need to talk to...

James is cut off by the sound of my phone. I pick it up and read the message. I look up at James, I know he wants to know who it is from. 'It's just Em saying that dance is on' he nods his head. Part of me feels like he don't believe me

James
We get up and leave to dance as we have a four hour pratice in the morning. We get to dance and head to studio A. Riley's phine went off like twenty other times. I looked at her everytime but she just said that its junk mail, or her parents. I trust Riley but not with this, she is hiding something, I need to figure it out, without putting her in danger. We rehearse for two hours then we take a thirty minute break. Riley goes to the toilet. When she is in the toilet I check her phone as it goes off. I scroll through some of the messages, not believing what I'm reading

'Hey baby, where are you?'

'you better not be talking to James!'

'Come back to mine now!'

'Ri! I said now!'

'Ri, Ri, Ri, Ri, Ri!'

'that's it, you're gonna pay!'

Riley comes back from the toilets, I grab her wrist and lead her outside of The Next Step Studio.

James: Riles...

Riley: Riles?

James: Sorry...

Riley: I like it

James: Okay? But Riles, I saw what you wrote in the diary lastnight

Riley: Oh...what I meant...I mean...

James: Riley, I like you too. Well I don't like you, I love you. I have ever since I first met you. Ever since I first laid eyes on you. When you knew who I was, When you was in Australia, now you don't remember me fully. I have never stopped loving you. I would love for us to become a couple again. I would love to hold you tight, through the good the bad, the ugly times. Through everything. Take you on dates. Just be there for you. I would love to be your boyfriend and would love for you to be my girlfriend but you have to be honest with me. The messages, I know they are from Charlie.

Riley: I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you, I was scared too. I didn't know what would happen.

James: We don't have to tell anyone, obviously to be together, you can't date Charlie.

Riley: I know, I sent him a message five mintues ago. 'Charlie, it's over' I'm just scared

James: There's no need to be, you have me, your amazing boyfriend just like I have you, my incredible girlfriend.

Riley: I love you James

James: I've never stopped loving you

Finally, we are together again. Now I just have to make sure Charlie stays away from my girl
