When we get back to my house my mum gets a first aid kit out. She brings and ice pack out of the fridge and I wrap it into a cloth and give it to Perri.

"Thanks." He says. I use another tissue and I wipe up some blood.

"That's a pretty bad bruise you got there." My mum says.

"He'll be fine." I say annoyed that my mum keeps getting into things. Ashley's just standing there looking helpless. He's pretty pissed off that I told him to shut up.

"I'm sorry Ashley." I say. "But Perri was only looking out for me. It's not his fault. Nothing ever is."

"It's O.K" Ashley says. " You're a tough girl you know that?"

I give him a sarcastic punch and he laughs.

"You alright there Perri?" Ashley says.

Perri just nods.

"Then I'll head home. Goodnight Amber. Good luck at boot camp tomorrow!" He says.

I run up to the door when he's about to leave.

"Thanks for all your help." I say and give him a hug.

"You show them what Amber's got." He says then leaves.

I need to be prepared and packed. The Dance Factor have a three day boot camp where 20 competitors out of 40 will be kicked out. If I want to stay my performance has to be outstanding. Its about 8:30pm and Gina's probably in her room and I feel I've been neglecting her so I go up to see her. She's reading a book.

"Hey G." I say sitting at one side of the bed.

"I haven't talked to you in ages." She says throwing her arms around my neck.

"I know. I owe you and mum an apology."

"It's fine. You know mum found out about me being lost. She didn't mind too much."

I chuckle.

"I love you. I'll promise to stick around more. Perri's downstairs."

She's not as starstruck.

"He's staying the night?"

"I don't know."

"Do you like really really like him?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Just asking."

We talk for a while before I say goodnight to her then join Perri downstairs. I lift the ice pack of his nose.

"It looks all better now." I say.

"Thanks." He says.

I sit next to him. "Thanks for trying to defend me today."

"You know it's bootcamp tomorrow? I can't come because well- it's boot camp."

"I'll be fine." I say.

I apologize to my mum for neglecting her too. Why am I using these kind of words? Their not animals! I show Perri my moves but there's no music and I'm so tired.

"You better get some sleep." He says.

His mum is outside.

"I'll miss you." I say before kissing him.

"Good luck Amber. You'll know I'll be thinking of you."

I shut the door behind him. I better pack. Boot camp here I come.....
