When the War is Over

So this is a rewrite of Friday's episode of TNS, based around Jiley ❤️

James' POV
I walk backstage to check on Riley, it's meant to be Giselle and Steph checking on her but we agreed I should do it.

I look around and spot my petite girlfriend pacing around in her costume and TNS jacket. This is the first time I've seen her in her costume and she looks beautiful.
I softly make my way over to where she's pacing back and forth, biting her lip. She knows Eldon lost male solo, and therefore is determined to win, and she's good enough to. Her routine is flawless and has so much emotion.

I make my way behind her and place my hands on her waist, causing her to jump but calm down as soon as I spoke
"Sup? You look gorgeous babe" I chuckle, turning her to face me but she's shaking and has tears in her eyes
"I'm terrified James" she whispers, looking at the ground
"Yo don't be, don't even worry about everyone else Ri, you'll be great. You always are" I soothe, taking her into my arms and kissing the top of her head.

Just being in my arms seems to calm her down slightly as her body becomes less tense and her breathing is steady.
"Okay now gorgeous?" I whisper,as she nods and looks up at me.
Both of us lean in, sealing our lips together gently.
A slight whimper leaves Riley's lips as I softly stop kissing her, but that soon becomes a giggle as I kiss her neck, then slip off her jacket so I can kiss her shoulders.

A few soft moans escape Riley's lips as I kiss her chest and begin on her cleavage, moving my hands to her lower back to pull it up and closer to me. Riley's head tilts back gently, as she runs her hands through my hair, both of us just enjoying each others company. Until a loud cough makes my head snap up, in sync with Riley's.

We both look up to see a-troupe and Kate looking at us.
"I would tell you to act mature but I'm scared about what that may encourage you to do" Giselle slightly snaps, as Riley becomes red. Whereas I just chuckle and head over to my bros, keeping an eye on Riley still.

Riley's POV
I run a few more moves until I see Ella out of the corner of my eye. I head over to her, knowing that she's next so, I should wish her luck. I'm not happy about competing against my best friend but this is internationals I guess.
"Good luck" I smile sweetly, expecting Ella to return the luck but instead she just ignores me and steps away from me?

I step back, confusion covering my face, and butterflies in my stomach. I feel a muscular arm snake around me, and a hand rest on my waist. I look up and see James next to me, glaring in Ella's direction until she walks on stage. He kisses my temple and leads me to the wings, wrapping both arms around me, as I lean back into his chest slightly, placing my hands on his.

Ella steps onto the stage and my music begins to play? But it doesn't stop... Ella is going my choreography. I feel dizzy and begin to sweat, I feel my body tense as tears form in my eyes. I also feel James tighten his grip on me, as I begin to breathe heavily.
"Riley she's doing your dance" someone says but I can't tell who, my head is spinning and I'm panicking
"I know" I all I can say, as I try not to cry.

"Ri, calm down baby" James soothes, knowing I'm going into full panic mode. He turns me around to face him and his eyes dig into mine, "calm" he whispers before hugging me into him and rubbing my back gently with one hand.
I sniffle and clutch his jacket tightly, forcing myself to calm down. I finish taking deep breaths and turn to my team.

"What are we going to do?" I stutter, looking at all of them
"Riley this isn't your fault sweetie" Kate gushes
"I should of listened to you, James, you were right about her" I cry, my lip quivering slightly.
"No babe, she played you. It's okay" he soothes rubbing my shoulder, he's so sweet.

"Riley how did she even know your routine?" Thalia questions, looking at me suspiciously
"She saw me rehearse a few times back at the studio I guess, I didn't know she was the female solo though" I explain, seeing a few angry faces
"Riley! Clearly she's been playing you this whole time to win. How could you not see that?" Amanda snaps at me
I look down ashamed as Kate tells Giselle to prepare to perform, I feel James wrap his arm around my shoulders
"This is all my fault" I sob, attempting to run off but James stops me
"No Ri, this is what she wants, the best thing to do now is for Giselle to perform sad later we're going to show Ella that we can win without cheating, okay baby girl?" He whispers to me, leading me to watch where Giselle is beginning her routine.

James POV
Riley hugs Giselle as she steps off stage and I can't help smile at Riley, she's taken this pretty well, considering what happened at least. But the mood changes as soon as Ella approaches Riley, causing me to head over to my girls side. The way Ella upset Riley angered me, she messed with my girlfriend and hurt her. And I'm not having that.

"Good play" Ella smirks at Riley, a slight menacing look in her eye
"How could you do that to me? I thought we were friends" Riley protests, the pain becoming clear.
"Please, this is a game Riley. You were the weakest member on your team, easiest to break. I knew I could mess with you, my plan was to break up you two but pretending to be your friend was easy. I knew you'd show me your routine" Ella explains, while Riley looks heart broken

"What's your problem" I growl at her, holding Riley tightly
"I want to win, and if that means destroying you, big deal" she laughs
I go to respond when I notice a reporter nearby, interviewing the male soloist that won. I let go off Riley and head to the reporter as she's finishing her interview. I take the mic out of her hand and quietly weak behind Ella.

"I can't believe you stole my solo!" Riley is crying as Ella laughs
"Riley your solo was too good not to steal, I knew it would win, that's why I stole it. But the judges don't know that, only your little team and I know that. And I know that you're going to lose, so good luck. You'll really need it" Ella fake sighs, and turns to leave. But stops as soon as she sees the mic in my hand, and her face is priceless.

I hand back the mic and push past Ella, wrapping my arm around her and walking her away from the situation....
