To Be Loved

Chapter 11: Dramancer

This is the right thing to do. You're doing this for you Alina. It was time to get away. The train took off and I realized how hungry I was. I walked over to the cafe area of the train and ordered a Burger with everything on it. As I sat down with my food a group of people my age came up to me.

"Oh my goodness you're really her!!" A girl with blonde hair, black eyes, and braces yelled. "You inspired me to become a dancer. Its an honor to be in your presence Alina. My mother said that I could study at the Gracelin Dance Co. next year. I'm going to camp to improve my dancing now though. Will you sign my folder?" I nodded and signed my my name on the back closer to the bottom. After I signed hers a bunch more people came up and told me what an inspiration I was to them. After everyone left I was still famished. Hugs, autographs, pictures I understand what celebrities go through now. When I went to bite into my Burger a girl who looked about 15 came and sat across from me. I put my burger down and looked at her, not wanting to talk with a mouth full of food.

"Hi my name's Lacey. But you can call me Cece." she said

"Hi Cece, I'm Alina, but you can call me anything you want."

"Why haven't you been dancing lately? I've seen all of your dancing videos on YouTube and there haven't been any for a month." she inquired.

"A lot of reasons. For one I've been in the hospital, I was in a coma for two days in fact I just left the hospital. My heart got broken twice too."

"Wow that sucks I've never had my heartbroken before though so I don't know how it feels. Do you want to talk about it?" she asked sweetly.

"Its two long stories that I don't think you'd want to hear. How old are you?" I replied.

"14. Today is my birthday. How about you shorten them and just tell me how they broke your heart." Wow that's pretty young.

"Happy Birthday Cece. I've been in love with one guy for about thirteen years and he's in love with my sister, she's pregnant with his child now. The other guy told me he hated me and to never talk to him after he saw my.....Lets get off the topic of me though are you going to the dance camp?" I asked.

"Yes, its been a dream of mine to go there. Saw your what though?" she questioned.

"My wrists. I have a scar on each one. Everyone either thinks I self harm or tried to kill myself even though I never have." I showed her my wrists. She gasped. " When I was younger I was kidnapped and the only way I could save my self was to cut the ropes, I ended up cutting my wrists not the ropes. Its harder than it looks. My dance teacher ended up saving me though even though I tried hard to save myself." I explained.

"Where is your dance teacher now?" she questioned. A tear ran down my face. "She died about a month and a half ago."

"Oh my gosh you've had such a hard life." she came over and hugged me. "You're so strong." She started crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"My big sister committed suicide, she was bullied and I guess she couldn't take it anymore. So she...she.." Cece was crying harder at this point so I held her tight to me.

"Shh its okay, don't cry. I know I can't replace your biological big sister, but will you be my new little sister?" her eyes brighten up and she smiled at me. My stomach started rumbling and we both started laughing. We both wiped away our stray tears away and spent the train ride hanging out. My burger was cold by the time I got to it but was still delicious.

When the train was close to stopping she gave me the address to her camp and I gave her my phone number.

"Call if you need anything Lacey." I said before hugging her goodbye. 

As I started to walk away she called me over, "Where are you staying tonight? I don't see any luggage."

"I have no idea yet." I said truthfully. 

Cece ran to the camp coordinator and asked if I could go the night.

"There's no need for that I wouldn't want to be any trouble." I told them.

"No you are more than welcome to come. It would be a pleasure. The cabin are also available for rent. " she said with a huge smile on her face.

"How much?" I questioned.

"Free." she said deviously, "Under one condition."

"What is the condition?" I asked raising a brow.

"You have to teach at my camp for the rest of your summer." She said with a big welcoming smile. How bad could that be?

"When do I start?" I said looking at Cece who had a big smile on her face too.
