It was me, not you

Chapter 5

I wake up and Sam is missing from my bed. I don't remember the dream I had but I did remember asking Sam to stay with me. I walk out and see mama and Stefan in the kitchen. 

"Where's Sam?" I ask as I grab a cup of orange juice.

"He got some call. He's outside" Stefan says. I put my juice down and walk outside. As soon as he sees me he gets off the phone.  I walk up to him and grab his arms.

"What was that about?" I asks. He shakes his head and replies with nothing. "Are you ready for the dance today?" I ask and look up at him. 

"Nervous" he says and smiles at me. 

"Me too. I need to leave to go over the dances one more time and could you come around 10 to practice our duet. I've been thinking, I want to put the stunt back in where I do the handstand and you lift me up. I think it would be cool" I explain.

"What about the baby? I don't want you to do anything that could hurt the baby."

"It won't. I watching some YouTube clips and there was this girl that 9 months pregnant and she did a back flip. She was fine after it so I think I would be fine if I did it."

"Ok. If you think its ok for the baby. I believe you" he says. I smile and walk inside. Stefan stands at the door and waits for me to walk in to the kitchen. 

"Can we talk?" Stefan asks.

"Not now. I need to get ready." I say and walk off.

"I think Sam's keeping something from you" he blurs out. I turn around to him and shrug. "You don't care?" he asks.

"I trust him. We all have our secrets and if it was important he would tell me. Its like I'm keeping that we kissed from him." 

"That's different. You guys weren't together. You two are still not together" he says pointing out the door.

"Maybe. But I love him. I am still in love with him" I say and walk off. I knew it would annoy him- what I said. I had basically said the same thing to him when I told him we couldn't be together 'I love you but I'm not still in love with you'. And honestly he deserved it. That's what he gets for trying to mess up my relationship.

I get dressed and head to the studio. They were all there.

"Can we run through the two routine a couple of times then another in costumes. Also did all of you bring a dress for the lunch outside?", they all nod and I put the music.

"When do we get to see your duet?" Naya says. I smile.

"This morning like everyone else. Ok Naya lets do the nut bush twice and then we will move on to the trio" she nods and goes into her spot. She starts singing and then dances. It was all in time and way better then yesterday.

"Ok. The problem trio" I yell and Naya, Quinn and Maddie come forth. They were basically the three cheerleaders off glee. All of them could sing, dance and cheer. They were a triple threat almost.

I have a white lutter sleeve lace skater dress from ASOS on and I am terrified to start talking. All my family was here even Stefan. I take a huge breath and start to stay the speech I had prepared 5 minutes earlier. "Ok. Hi guys and girls. Welcome to In Step dance school. We are a start up business and have been going for 3 years. This school was created by a couple of my friends and I hoping to share a special art that my friends and I love. Here at In Step we try to focus on just the love of dance and music and what it can do for us. We make students here put there feeling in to their dances and their personality as another way of relief and enjoyment, which the girls like very much. We are hoping to get more boys to join, but like other studio we focus on more of the hip-hop, jazz, funk and some contemporary and lyrical dances. So no Ballet. We have a couple of routines that the girls have made. None of the dances really have alot of heart but the are fun and pretty creative that show the girl's personality. So any questions before we watch some routines?" I ask and look around.
