Rain or Shine

Chapter 1

Brooke's Pov.

Coffee. I needed it badly. Getting up at 5:00am every morning can get a bit tiring. See me and my 2 best friends all dance at The London Academy Of Dance (made up school) which means everyday, except Sundays, we have to wake up at 5:00am, get to dance by 7:00am, have at least 6-7 classes a day, and then we get home, have dinner and sleep. That is pretty much our weekly routine. Sunday is like our day off, but we mainly spend it just relaxing.

Isabelle, Abigail and I were heading to Starbucks for our usual morning coffee. Abigail, being the oldest... And probably most responsible one, was driving us to Starbucks. We were just talking and laughing when I heard my favorite song, at the moment, come on. "Issy! Turn it up!" I yelled from the back seat of the car.

"Where are your manners?" she asked, sarcastically.

"Australia" I retorted.

"I can tell". I just laughed as she increased the volume and I started singing.

"We're gonna light it up, up, up.

So they can put it out, out, out." Burn by Ellie Goulding was playing and I was getting really into it, but then we pulled up outside of Starbucks, but my disappointment was quelled by my craving for a nice, hot coffee.

We walked inside straight away and ordered. We were a bit later than normal. It was already 6:00am and it took about 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic, to get there.

__________________________

We had just got our coffee's and our now heading to dance. Today, I have 6 classes: Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Acro, Ballet and then Contemporary. I think I have 3 classes with Abigail today! Finally. We haven't had a class together for almost 3 weeks now.

We pulled up in the parking lot of the big 2 story building which inside, held all of our other class mates and friends. Oh and my boyfriend. He is like the ultimate guy: Nice, cute, sweet, funny and not to mention totally good-looking. We have been dating for almost 2 months now. We met here, at the academy.

We walked in, carrying our bags full of clothes, shoes and water. I saw Matthew and a huge smile spread across my face. Issy and Abigail looked at me knowingly and walked away, having their own conversation.

"Brooke.. We need to talk" Matthew said. Oh no. This can't be good.

"Sure. Let's go outside" I said, trying to seem unfazed. We walked out to the garden. Though he didn't hold my hand or anything like he normally does.

"I don't think this is working between us.." he trailed off at the end.

"Uh. What's wrong?" My eyes were brimming with tears at the thought of him breaking up with me.

"Look, there's this girl, I've known her for a while now, but I think my feelings are changing towards her. And I definitely don't want to two time anyone. So I think maybe we should break up". I couldn't to him any longer. My eyes were full of tears, but I didn't let any slip. I ran inside, getting strange looks from people, but I didn't care. I couldn't really see where I was running, as my eyes were all blurry. Although I could see two definite figures, which I could determine were Isabelle and Abigail. I ran towards them and flung my arms around Abigail. That's when the real tears came, sob after dreadful sob. I couldn't stop. The girls took me to the rest rooms and sat me on the seat that was in there.

__________________________

"Babe, it's ok. Anyone who doesn't want you is just out of their minds. You are smart, beautiful and no doubt one of the best dancers here" Abigail tried to comfort me. Her words helped but it still hurt to know that Matt didn't really care. I blew my nose one final time and tried to make myself look as normal as possible. The day carried out as normal, each class carrying away some of my strength. I couldn't help but let my mind keep wandering back to Matthew though. Who was the other girl? Did he ever care about me? I tried to push the thoughts out of my head as best as possible.

On the drive home, I was abnormally quiet. The girls kept checking up on me but all I wanted to do was go home, sleep and be alone.

When we arrived at our apartment that we shared, I went straight up to my room, put my iPod on shuffle and tried to sleep.

And then "Red" by Taylor Swift came on.
