Guys I'm so sorry for the wait. I just wasn't sure if I was going to continue with this but I decided not to give up. I promise I'll update once a week from now on. 

Enjoy!

A loud knock on the door woke me up. I looked around. I fell alseep on the floor. I quickly lifted myself up and opened the door. Paige came rushing in and sitting on my bed.

"Sooooo... How was your first night?" She lifted her eyes on my face. "Jeez, you look like shit. What were you doing all night?"

"Um... Wattpad?" I lied, smiling a little and playing it innocent. She bought it.

"OMG, who reads books the whole night? Well, aparently you, but seriously girl, you need to try getting more sleep." It was true. Falling asleep was an extremely difficult task for me. It might have something to do with the fact that I have a lot in my mind, or that I get stressed for nothing. Either way, the problem is still here, with last night's events only making it worse. SHIT! What if she found out? What if she hasn't yet, but she will? God, I'm so screwed...

"Earth to Stephanie. Please report." Her loud voice and moving hand snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, what?"

"I asked you if you wanted anything to eat or if you want to try to sleep again."

"Uh, what time is it?"

"Quarter past ten."

"Well, shit!" I frowned, slapping my forehead with my hand.

"What?"

"I have to leave in about an hour. I have practice."

"Ohh..." She whined.

"Buuuut, I promise I'll be back by three and then I'm all yours. Oh, wanna go shopping this afternoon?" I suggested just to make her feel better. Although, I also wanted to go shopping.

"Okay, I guess..." She had a grumpy look on her face.

"Sorry baby, but you know how things are. I have to win this contest. If I do I get to compete in fucking Georgia!" Her eyes lit up a bit.

"I know. I just wish you could have more time, that's all." She was so sweet sometimes.

"After the finals I'm all yours!" I winked. We laughed and headed downstairs. I hope he's asleep!

Rythmic gymnastics: the sport I loved with all my heart and I had devoted most of my time to. I had to practice very hard though, if I wanted to go to Georgia. I had three hours of practice every day, apart from Sundays, and yet I could feel like I didn't do enough. I swear it was the only thing where I seeked perfection. Nothing else. Today, I couldn't wait for this time to come, as dance always makes me escape reality, and after this break I can think more openly. Ugh, what wouldn't I give to take it back!

Sitting on the counter was Ethan, Paige and Justin's middle brother, who was two years older than Paige and me. We had a really good relationship, similar to the one between me and Justin, except that I hadn't kissed Ethan. Like I had said that I would never kiss Justin, but being me, I did exactly what I shouldn't have! Idiot!

"Goodmorning stranger!" He was always so happy.

"Morning!" I grinned at him.

"Sup?"

"For now it's all good. You?"

"Nothing much. I think I sprained my ankle yesterday at the match. It hurts like a bitch!"
