5, 6, 7, 8... leap, relève, chassez and leap. Fern danced around the studio along to the dainty music, pointing her toes as she went. "Good work fern" barked miss Lopez, "I expect you to have it perfect by tuesday"
Lauren caught up with her on her way out of the studio
"Phew what a class" Lauren painted, "need a ride home?"
"Sure" Fern grinned, she liked Lauren, they had been dancing with miss Lopez since they were both four, they were basically dance sisters.
Once Fern arrived home she went up to her room and flopped down onto the bed.
Her life was almost perfect
She had an amazing opportunity to become a professional ballerina if she went to the ballet summer camp shed been accepted to, she was popular, pretty, rich and had a loving family. You could say she had it all.
Except one thing.
Her step father, Gary, had an ongoing heart problem.
Being an ex smoker he had suffered from various minor heart attacks and any day could be his last.
Fern had never met her real father as she was a drunk, "mistake" when her mum was 17 but that didn't matter to fern because Gary had become her real father they were so close and loved each other so much.
The though that he could get a heart attack any second scared fern so much that she always pushed it aside to the back of her mind.
A/N Hey guys, so starting this new story and hopefully I'll finish it 😜 please give me some feed back in the comments. I'll try to post as much as possible. The picture above is how I imagine fern to be. Love you all xx
