Gone Forever

Chapter 17-Celebration

James's POV

In the morning we hear a knock on the door.
"Seriously?" Riley says,"I thought she got arrested!" I open the door and it's Eldon and Thalia.

"James!" he shouts.
"Bro I'm right here what's up?" He walks past me into the living room and Thalia looks at me. I think I know what it is. As soon as I walk in he starts pirouetting. I nod my head every time he spins to count.

"...27, 28, 29, 30!" I shout.
"So...can I now?" he says. I nod and he kisses Thalia.
"Yo Eldon lets celebrate!" I say. I go into the kitchen and get some beer.

"James don't get dru..." Riley says before I disappear into the kitchen.

Riley's POV

"Boys, honestly," Thalia says. We both giggle.
"Shouldn't he be celebrating with you?"
"I guess...doesn't matter though I suppose."
"Anyway so how is everyone at The Next Step? Falling apart without me?"
"Ummm, well I guess you could say that."
"What do you mean?"

"You know Mia right?"

"Uggh, I should have guessed."
"There's just something about her that's...weird."

"Like what?"

"She is always alone and she's mean to everyone and she just messes around in rehearsals."
"Sounds fishy to me."
"How about some investigating tomorrow?"
"Detective R.Beaton solving her next case...also her first."
"And it's so near her first she's not even a proper detective yet!" We both giggle as the boys come in.
"Oh man..." I whisper.

"Are you drunk?" Thalia asks.

"Huh?" James says.

"I'll take that as a yes."
"Well we're going to my house." Eldon says, walking out the door with James.
"What? In you pyjamas?" And before they could answer they were out the door, walking in the streets drunk. To be honest it was quite funny.
"Anyway so if we wanna go to Canada for tomorrow we should probably go now," Thalia says.
"I'd have to tell James and you can tell why it would be best not to tell him now."

"I sure can."
