Well let's see it has been almost 2 weeks since I have last talked to Liam. He gives me these looks like he feels sorry for me. It doesn't help that Mrs. Rain is really on my back and I am trying to focus on school along with watching what I eat. Dylan and I are okay now for the moment.
"Danielle if you aren't going to do anything right then why are you in my class today?" Mrs. Rain asks
"I'm sorry" I mumble continuing the combination
"Miss Ray, Pique means to prick not slam on my floor! Spot! Spot. That is not the corner! Travel to the corner, we don't say start from the corner for no reason!" She kept yelling and my mind was on perfecting the combination, but Liam keeps popping in my head. I chanted glissade, jete, assemble. ". People leave my life before they actually get to know me" What did he mean?. I continued dancing and rolled my ankle, I instantly fell to the ground feeling a sharp pain on my ankle and my big toe was burning. I hurried and untied my ribbons. "Jesus Danielle can you do anything right?" Mrs. Rain asked and my eyes stung with tears from both the pain and the embarrassment. I looked up seeing Charlie he opened his mouth to respond back to her. "Charlie don't" I cracked pulling my tights up seeing my ankle was red, I looked at my big toe and my toe nail had a horizontal crack through it. Charlie helped me up; well he practically carried me out of the room. He sat me down on a table, he walked over to his bag and he came back with band aids and ointment. He cleaned and wrapped up my toe, as he finished he looked at me.
"Why do you allow her to talk to you like?" He ran his fingers through his hair sighing
"She's older than me, she's my teacher, and she's giving me corrections" I mumble
"Danielle that was not called correcting! Since when did "can you do anything right" become correcting?" He asked sitting next to me
"Charlie I'm okay, just go back to class." I get up lightly not putting weight on my left foot.
"Let me help you" He grabbed my bag and he lifted me up walking outside. I grabbed the keys unlocking the door. "Charlie you can put me down. I drive with my right foot not my left" I smile but he shakes his head
"Dani, I care about you and I hate to say this, but what has been up with you? You haven't been doing that entirely great. You have been dragging lately, even in modern. That is your favorite class." He adds
"I have a lot going on right now with school, and Dylan. I just, I don't know Charlie" I sigh
"Want to talk about it?" He offers but I refuse shaking my head
"Go and finish class, I will talk to you later" I get in the car leaving putting the keys in the ignition. He watches me drive away. I exhale deeply driving home
I close my door, I sigh deeply practically limping. I look around for Dylan's car and I let out a whimper feeling pain shoot to my foot toe. Damn you Dylan for not being here! I slowly limp again
"You know as much as I am enjoying you struggle, do you need help?" My head snaps when I see Liam walking towards me
"N-no I have it" I continue to limp and I stop when I feel his hand on my shoulder "Liam I don't need your help!" I bark, making him scoff
"Dani you can't even walk" He grabs my arm and my body instantly goes weak. Literally. I lose my balance and he grabs me before I fall. "Nice to know that I still have that effect on you" He smirks picking me up. He looks at me asking for permission and I nod as he opens the door. He walks in looking around, he heads for the stairs; he automatically goes to my room.
"You have a black door with a ballerina on it" He muttered answering my thought; he opens the door and walks over to my bed sitting me down. I watch him as he slides off my bootie, I flinch at his touch. He examines my swollen ankle while frowning. "What happened?" he touches it lightly and I flinch again
"I twisted it" I mumble
"You need heat and ice" He gets up but I stop him by grabbing his shoulder " Liam, why are you helping me?" I ask looking at him
"Well unlike you, I'm not going to do you the way you have been doing me, although you have been treating me like shit!"
"Okay I deserved that" I say
