Thomas Brodie-Sangster Imagines.

117) Anxiety In The Dance Show *Requested*

*Request from Madxgoon .*

Bella's POV.

"I'll be back in a few days love, I promise." My boyfriend Thomas cooed through the computer screen. He was away filming in Louisiana for The Maze Runner.

"Tommy... I'm really nervous about this performance... What if I mess up?" I wept.

"Look, Bella, your an amazing dancer! You know I have full faith in you that your going to win this competition."

"It would just relax me a bit more if I knew you were going to be there..."

"I could-"

"No, please don't lie to me Tom. I know your going to be away for a week at the most and my performance is in 3 days... I'm scared."

"Love, remember I'm always a call away. You have absolutely nothing to worry about because you are incredible and this competition will do amazing things for your career. Your gonna fly right over it." I relaxed a little after hearing that. "I love you so much b-"

"Thomas! Ready to go?" I heard his co-star Dylan call. He frowned and turned round.

"Yeah, give me one minute." He turned back to me. "I have to go babe, I'll text you later." He blew a kiss towards the camera and I just smiled politely, never wanting the conversation to end. It'd been a full month since I'd properly seen Thomas in person and I was getting fed up of it. He was supposed to be back home a week before but Wes asked him to stay a bit longer, making him unable to come to my performance. The next morning I woke up and got ready to go to practice. My best friend Amelia picked me up in her car with my other friend Catie. We headed off to practice to go over our steps for the competition.

"I feel like I'm going to do horrible in this guys..." I groaned, slouching down in the back seat of Amelia's convertible.

"Why? Your like the best dancer in our group!" Catie praised.

"I don't know, I've just got a bad feeling..."

"Oh shush Bella." Amelia scolded. "I think it's just your nerves. You're gonna smash it out there." I kept quiet for the rest of the journey, just thinking about Thomas. We got about half way through practice and I had already gone over my routine about twenty times. My dance instructor came over to speak to me as I gasped for breath.

"Bella, your working really hard there!" She said with a slight sense of worry in her voice.

"I just want to... Reach my full potential..." I made out between breaths.

"Well take it easy hun, you don't want to stress yourself out too much before the performance. You are the most talented dancer in this group and I know you're going to win, just don't tell any of the other girls I said that to you or they will like, hate me." She laughed lightly then walked away to aid the others in their rehearsal. I sat down with my bottle of water to catch my breath and chill for a minute. About ten minutes later, the competition had started. Amelia was up first, then another girl who I didn't really speak to. Next was Catie and after her, it was my turn. Catie danced incredibly and it made me think I'd never be able to follow up after that. I felt like my routine was not good enough, like I wasn't good enough. She walked off the stage and tapped me on my shoulder.

"Knock em dead Bella." She smiled. I felt my face drain of all colour as my instructor guided me towards the edge of the curtain and my name was announced on the speaker. I walked out onto the stage and stood in the middle as the bright stage lights beamed down on me. I heard my music beginning to play but within that second, I felt like the world was collapsing around me. My chest became tight and my knees weak. I felt sweat dripping off my forehead as my breaths quickened. Even though I couldn't see the audience because of the lights, it was the fact that I knew how many people were sitting there watching me. Just out of the corner of my eye I could see my friends conversing with the instructor. The lights flicked off suddenly and I felt my legs give way as I collapsed to the ground.

"Bella! Bella, can you hear me!" A muffled voice sounded from in front of me. I opened my eyes to see Amelia and Catie with someone standing behind them. I gasped instantly for air given how much shock I was in. The girls didn't know I had anxiety and I suddenly began to feel really claustrophobic. The girls were shocked and didn't know what to do, the person standing behind them pushed them aside and knelt in front of my face. Their hands held my face and lifted it to meet theirs and when I looked, I felt a wave of emotions flow through my body.

"T-Thomas?!"

"I'm here baby, don't worry please."

"Help..." Was all I could say. My breaths kept getting faster and Thomas' eyes filled to the brim with worry. He just looked up and down my face then crashed his lips onto mine. After a few seconds I felt everything melt away into the kiss. All the fear, all the loneliness, everything - gone. In that moment, it was just me and Thomas, no-one else. I pulled away and slouched back against the wall I had been propped up against and Tommy moved to sit next to me.

"Are you okay love?" He asked gently after a few minutes of silence.

"I am now. You said you weren't gonna be back until next week?"

"I couldn't miss my princess' dance performance could I?" I huffed.

"Well looks like I'm not even going to get to do it now am I? I've completely blown my chance at this competition."

"We'll see about that. Do you still want to do it? You don't have to if you don't feel up to it."

"I'm honestly not even bothered any more... It'l be pointless since everyone - including the judges - saw me have a breakdown live on stage. If there were any scouts out there they wont want to take me on if they think I'm gonna freeze before a performance. I've completely blown any chance I have in the industry..."

"Well you have nothing to worry about love. If needs come to matter, I'll find you a better competition with better talent scouts in the audience. You deserve the best princess." I smiled at him, genuine and he could tell. He pulled me into an embrace and kissed me gently on my forehead. I didn't care about the competition anymore, I was just happy I finally had my Thomas back.
