My body may be completely still, however my thoughts are running laps around my mind. My fingernails are digging into my palms as I try to contain myself. I take long deep breathes and I let myself sink into the corner of the room. I slouch against the wall taking in the cheerful atmosphere. All the dancers are excitedly talking. Tonight I will transform from the depressed, anxious person I am right now to the beautiful Cinderella. Unbelievable that a make-up bag and a costume can change a person. I'm still unsure if I want to perform tonight in front of hundreds of people, considering last night I had a dream about my dead sister turning up to my wedding with my currently Ex-Boyfriend. Not exactly the perfect mindset for a ballerina six hours before her performance.
"Mlle Adeline, Your Phone is ringing darling." Jessica, one of the dancers whom is French says as she slowly approaches me. I look down at it blankly to see his name and Photo plastered across the screen. I swipe the red hang up button quickly without thinking.
"Who's Luke?" Jessica asks curiously, noticing the fact I have several missed calls and messages from him.
"He is my Ex-boyfriend. Well we didn't really break up I walked out on him." I say slowly then I bite hard on my lip.
"Oh okay. He looks cute." I just nod, I have been blocking him out of my mind for the last few hours so I'm trying my hardest to not have a complete mental breakdown.
"Oh my goodness! My Cinderella look at your hands!" Jamie Vincent exclaims in his strong French accent, I look down at my hands to see blood dripping, I have been digging my fingernails in too deep. unclench my fists to see four small cuts on each hand oozing with blood.
"I'm Sorry Mr Vincent, Nerves I guess." I close my hands again.
"You should go home Miss Adeline." He pats my back.
"Au revoir Jamie." I hug him goodbye, I grab my dance bag and slowly make my way out to my car. I chuck my bag into the car and sit in the drivers seat. I slide my hands down my face with frustration. I feel like tearing my hair out, I'm so tired and frustrated with my life. I flip down the mirror to see streaks of blood down my face from my hands. I slap the mirror back up not wanting to see my reflection for one second. I twist the key and slam my foot onto the accelerator. I drive down the roads with the music blasting to block out all my thoughts. I end up at the apartment complex I was to scared to go into yesterday.
I walk from my car that I have just parked up the stairs to my apartment. To our apartment. I run up the stairs quickly, not wanting to give myself much thinking time about what I'm about to do. I don't bother knocking to see if anybody is home I fish my keys out of my pocket and unlock it quietly. I open it and step into the apartment slowly closing the door behind myself.
"Adeline! Finally decided to come home?" I turn around to see a very tired Luke standing there in sweatpants and nothing else.
"I have no where else to go." I look down at my worn out converse.
"Holy Sh*t Adeline what happened to your face are you okay?" He comes closer to me, he pushes my hair behind my and gently caresses my cheek.
"I cut myself by an accident and wiped it on my face by an accident." I move his hand out of my way.
"I'm so sorry Addy, for everything. I love you so much and I will go crazy if you leave me." He notices my bad mood.
"How can you love a person so much and then go kiss another girl?" Is the Love even real?
"I was drunk the other night, I thought she was you until one of the lads asked me if I broke up with you and I said no. Then I realised I just made out with some random. I'm crazy about you Adeline Cook." He grabs my hand and rubs it softly. I pull my hand away from his.
"I love you too. But I don't want to get too deep and find out your love was never there." I slide my hands into my pockets.
"We already are in too deep, I love you so F*cking Much it hurts." He cups my face and places his lips against mine slowly. It just feels so right. I kiss him back slowly. I pull away realising I'm still annoyed at him.
"What was that for?" He pouts standing back.
"I'm still a little bit pissed off." I cross my arms tightly against my chest, he gives me a sad look with his beautiful eyes piercing into my eyes.
"Of course you are Adeline, You have always been stubborn."
"Hey you have only known me for like barely a year."
"Yeah I know and I never thought it was possible to fall in love with someone so quickly." I blush but I
quickly cover it up with my hands feeling the dried layer of blood on my face.
"I'm going to have a shower." I announce.
"Can I join you." Luke gives me a boyish smile.
"You're lucky I'm getting back together with you so keep it in your pants for now." I walk off and leave him sitting on the couch shirtless.
I strip down to nothing and hop into the big shower. I turn on the water and let the warm water trickle down my back. The warm water washes my dirty face and hair, I sing loudly over the sound of the water pouring heavily down on the tiles.
"Nice singing in the shower." Luke comments as I come out to the lounge room with some crappy clothes on and a towel covering my Maine of blonde hair.
"Thank you. By the way I have a show tonight and you probably don't want to come to see an hour and a half of dancing." I take the sit next to him.
"No I would love to watch you dance, Adeline I love watching you dance."
"Okay I will call Jamie Vincent to get you front row seats." I get up slowly off the chair and he pulls me back down into his lap.
"That can wait a couple minutes can't it?" He places a short kiss on my lips.
"Yeah but only a few." I giggle kissing him back.
"I love you so much. I think I would have gone crazy if you didn't come back"
"I love you too you idiot."
