DANCING QUEEN AND THE BEAST

Newyork

                     CHAPTER NINE

   It was raining the day that I headed for the Sydney airport to board my plane to America all my friends were there even my mother had flown back from Italy to see me off.

  My mother enveloped me into her arms with tears streaming down her cheeks "make sure you ring me everyday & don't go falling for one of those American boys I want my baby to come home to where she belongs" I hugged her tight my own tears flowing as I fought to stay strong & get on my plane "I promise mum if one of those boys steal my heart you will be the first to know & I will still come home when my four years are up."

  She started to cry harder when it was time for her to let me go so I could say goodbye to the others before leaving to board the plane.

  She hugged me tighter to her chest like she could keep me with her always "why do you have to go there? Stay here & we will find away to send you to one of our dance schools" I sighed we had this argument all last night "mum I told you this is my chance to see what other countries have to offer & to leave my past behind me, it's my chance mum please don't stand in my way" she gave a nod then slowly released me so I could say my goodbyes to everyone else patiently waiting their turn.

 Josh, Raven, Lucas & all my team squeezed me into the middle of them as they said their own tearful goodbyes making me cry even harder as I looked around them all, the people that held me together when Blaze walked away from me & our friendship "I want you all to keep dancing, do not let me not being here anymore stop you from dancing."

 They all moved in closer squeezing me into their group hug "we will never stop dancing Cara you made us see that with dance you can show everyone what you are feeling" I nodded giving them all a sad smile "do me a favour & look after my mum & don't give Blaze a hard time please" again they all nodded then they released me so I could say my last goodbye to Blaze's older brother.

 Dylan gave me a sad smile as he pulled me into his arms hugging me tight "I will miss you Cara as will my little brother" I sighed sadly "please tell Blaze that I am sorry & I do finally forgive him for what he did since we both were blind & stupid when it came to our feelings back then & tell him that I will miss him so much & he is right when I am dancing I will imagine that I am in his arms & when I am in bed of a night my dreams will be filled with him & only him."

  Dylan nodded then bent down kissing my cheek "take care of yourself Cara & don't forget us" I kissed his cheek looking at him through my tears "I will miss you Dill & I could never forget where it all started, Blaze was the one that taught me the passion for dancing so I will never forget & like I said to mum I will be back."

  Dylan slowly released me & stepped back as I picked up my bags & with one final wave & look at the people that I was leaving behind I walked towards my plane & my dreams.

Unlike Sydney when I stepped of the plane in Newyork it wasn't raining but it was dark as I made my way towards the waiting taxies.

Giving a tired sigh I sat down in the back seat of the taxi & laid my head back & closed my eyes as I dreamed of home & the hot guy I walked away from, I was doing the right thing wasn't I, after everything that he told me I was right to walk away wasn't I?

  Giving a sad sigh I turned my head & looked out the window at the city lights while the taxi tried to make its way through the large amount of cars that filled the road.

 When the taxi driver pulled up in front of the dance school I just sat there unable to move as I stared up at the large building "miss this is it so are you getting out?"
