Gone Forever

Chapter 6-Uh Oh

Riley's POV

In the auditions Noah and Abi get the duet and I get the solo. I'm just texting James asking how his new house is when Mia comes over and looks over my shoulder. I press the home button on my phone so she see what I've been texting to James.

"Why can't I see?" she asks.
"Cos it's my phone not yours."

"Anyway, who the hell is James?"

"He used to come to this studio."

"That doesn't answer my question who is he?"

"Why do you care?"

"Fine I'll have to guess, guessing by how private your acting it's probably your boyfriend or something."
"That's not why I was hiding from you even if it was my sister or my aunt or anything I would have hid it from you cos I just want some privacy."
"Anyway, I saw that he moved to Brazil, good luck him staying your boyfriend, when are you even going to see him?"

"Quite a lot actually because planes exist."
"Ugggh, I can't believe you have friends, let alone boyfriends." She says and then walks off. I just ignore her and carry on texting James.

James's POV

I get back from our new studio and they're really good dancers. I make new friends but I don't think any of them will ever be able to replace my bros at The Next Step.

We go to rehearsals the next day and we have an upcoming dance competition, just to get us ready for regionals. We have to do a dance with all twelve dancers. We practice it and it's actually really good.

I get back home and I phone Riley.

Riley-Hi James
Me-Hi

Riley-Sounds crazy but we've already got a dance competition with all twelve dancers so I guess it'll be good for the alternates and...

Me-Wait...you're doing a dance competition with all twelve dancers in

Riley-Yeah and it's countries from quite far away from Canada why?

Me-Well we're doing one too
Riley-That's great do you know when it is?
Me-Yes it's next week

Riley-Yes we'll be able to see each other!

Me-I'm really sorry I've got to go.

The next week...

Riley's POV

We get a coach on the way to the competition. I haven't seen James for a month or something. We stand in the entrance room when I get picked up and spun around. I turn around and it's James.

"James!" I cry, flinging my arms around him.
"JAMES STAND BACK IN LINE WE NEED TO ACT PROFESSIONAL!" the owner of James's team shouts.

"Sorry they're really strict I'll see you later bye!" he says and then runs off. We do our dance and straight after ours is James's dance. They're unstoppable. His team comes 1st and our team comes 4th.
"This is not good enough this is all your fault Riley!" Mia shouts before storming off. We all find it hilarious and end up in fits of laughter, including Miss Kate.
"Riley,"James says,"We can't go back to my studio but my Mum can't pick me up from her so your mum and my mum agreed that I could spend the night at yours!"
"Really!"
"Yeah!"
"OK well lets get in the car." We hop in the car and my mum drives us to my house. James's room is next to mine.
"OK I've got pizza and you can eat it in the lounge while watching a movie if you want," Mum says.
"OK thanks Mum," I say, taking the pizza off her and sitting on the sofa.

"I'm going to a meeting now and I'm getting back and midnight and you two better be in bed!" Mum says while leaving the house.

After we watch the movie we go upstairs and get in bed.
"See you in the morning," James says, kissing my forehead.

In the morning I go to the loo and as I forgot to lock the door someone comes in and it makes me jump but it's only James so it's fine.
"What's that?" he asks. I show him.
"I'm sorry," he says, really shocked.

"It's fine."
"Are you getting rid of it?"
"Of course not." I then stand up and kiss him when Mia walks in.
"What are you doing here?!" I shout, pulling my pyjama shorts up.
"You're mum ever so kindly invited me for a sleepover," she says back.
"Who are you?" James asks.
"She's the new girl that's a nosy idiot," I say and then walk out, brushing her shoulder.
