DANCING QUEEN AND THE BEAST

A second chance?

                          CHAPTER TEN

    My days at Juilliard were passing slowly but progressively as I attended all my dance classes & quickly became top of all my classes.

   As I was leaving the room one day a boy with chocolate brown hair & deep brown eyes rushed over to me "Cara wait please" I slowly turned to face him giving him a small hesitant smile "yes can I help you Ian?" He nodded looking nervous "um yeah look I was wondering, you know how we need dance partners for our up coming performance, well um I was was wondering if you would perhaps be my partner?"

  Clasping my hands nervously in front of me I wondered if I could do it, dance with someone other then Lucas or Blaze "um I'm not sure Ian" he looked at me pleadingly "please Cara you are the best dancer in our year & there is no one else I would rather dance with."

   With a sigh I nodded, after all like him I needed someone to partner me & here he was offering to be my partner & it wasn't his fault that he wasn't the one that I wanted to be dancing with.

  Taking a deep breath I looked up at him "alright we will meet here tonight after dinner but please do not be late & make me regret agreeeing to this" he nodded wrapping me into a small hug "thank you & I will be here since I have to miss dinner anyway to meet my new room-mate then after I have done that I will come straight here" I nodded gently pulling away from his hug "okay see you later Ian" I spun around & hurried towards my dorm room before he could stop me again.

 After dinner I hesiantly made my way back to the dance room with Elsa at my side since I didn't want to go meet Ian alone.

 When we entered the room Ian was standing with someone else both of them with their backs to us while they talked, I looked the other guy up & down my heart starting to pound as I took in his black hair & his hard muscles, it couldn't be could it?

 Elsa cleared her throat making our presence known & slowly they both turned to face us, I gasped when I found myself face to face with Blaze Landon.

  Ian gave me a big smile pulling Blaze towards closer "Cara I would like you to meet my new room-mate Blaze Landon" I looked at Blaze through blurry eyes as tears started to gather "what are you doing here?"

 Ian gave me a confused look while Blaze smirked down at me with that same stupid smirk he had always given me "nice to see you too Cara" I stepped back towards the door my heart pounding in my chest as I gasped "yo, you won the scholarship to come here?"

 He nodded while smiling at the two people with us watching our exchange with confused smiles on their faces "that's right I won the scholarship."

 Screwing my hands into tight fists I shook my head giving Ian a look of apology "I'm so sorry Ian but I am not up to rehearsing tonight so perhaps we could do it some other time?" He nodded while looking between Blaze & I with a frown.

 Spinning around I ran from the room & hurried towards the front door aware of the fast running footsteps chasing after me.

  Just as I thought that I would make it to the door Blaze grabbed me pulling me into another empty dance room "Cara stop running away" he whispered into my ear while pushing me up against the wall.

 Staring into his eyes my tears started falling make him sigh then gently wipe them away "Cara I didn't come here to hurt you, I came here just to be with you" I shoved him in his chest trying to push him away "go home, I don't want you here Landon."

  He sighed then pushed his body against mine forcing me back harder against the wall "don't fucking lie to me baby, I know that you have missed me & I know that you forgive me because Dylan told me you do" I nodded sniffling as I looked into his ice coloured eyes "I do forgive you for breaking my heart but that does not mean I want you back in my life because I don't & I never will."
