I turn around and see three people waiting at the studio door. Two men and one woman, all three of them were wearing suits. 

"This is it Dee" Xavier shakes my shoulders, before running off to open the door. 

I release a loud breathe before taking a sip from my water bottle. Chris, Jay and Deeg were mouthing 'goodluck' as they were taking a seat in a corner of the room. I turn around and see Xavier bringing the three people over to me. 

"Here she is" Xavier starts off, "Andie, these are the people from NYU" Xaiver puts me in front of him. 

"Nice to meet you" I smile, shaking each of their hands. 

"Hello Andie! I'm Dr. Whittner" A man looking like he was in his mid-20s introduces himself, giving me a firm handshake. 

"I'm Dr. Murphies" A lady looking in her late 30s, quite intimidating, shakes my hand.

"And I'm Dr. Harvey" The other man who looks as if her were around the same age as the Dr. Whittner but more muscular and less facial hair. 

"Nice to meet you all, how has your Sydney experience been?" I continue to smile, but not too hard because I don't want to look like a person whose plastic surgery went wrong. 

"Your city is very beautiful!" Dr. Murphies compliments. 

"Well we came down here just to check out the talent that Sydney has to offer and all around the street we've been seeing posters that were advertising the dance competition and we thought why not?" Dr. Whittner shrugs his shoulders. 

"Your technique is exquisite Andie! Got anything else to show us?" Dr. Harvey asks. 

"Uh y-yeah sure thing!" 

"Take a seat, please" Xavier insists, as he pulls up three chairs. 

I walk over to Chris, Jay and Deeg a bit flustered considering that I have no idea which piece I should do. Deeg jumps up and grabs his phone. 

"Don't worry I've got this" Deeg says, running over to the speakers. 

Deeg is a very helpful person, but sometimes his ideas aren't really the best. I shoot Chris and Jay a worrying look but all they do is throw their thumbs up for goodluck. Deeg starts the music and I hear that he's picked the song 'Undone' by Haley Reinhart (LISTEN TO THIS SONG I CRIED). The contemporary piece that I made when Calum was in the UK and I stayed back in Sydney to give him some space. It's the piece that left Chris, Deeg, Jay and Xavier in tears.

I finish off the dance and turn around to see that Chris, Deeg, Jay and Xavier's responses were the exact same and had even spread to Dr. Whittner, Harvey and Murphies. I bow down and smile at them. 

"That was beautiful Andie" Dr. Harvey compliments me. 

"You are one amazing young dancer Miss Roberts" Dr. Murphies adds as she wipes away a tear. 

"Are you in university at the moment?" Dr. Whittner asks. 

"Yes, I'm currently doing an engineering course" I reply, taking breathes. 

"Why aren't you focusing on dance?! It looks like you enjoy it more than engineering" Dr. Harvey says, with a shocked look on his face. 

"Well it's just something good to fall back on, a stable job is what pays the bills" I explain. 

"You, Miss Roberts need to come back with us to New York! I'd really want to show you off to all of the dance companies back at home" Dr. Whittner professes. 

"Maybe even become an official student at NYU" Dr. Murphies adds.

"Hey Dee?" Calum asks on the other end of the phone. 

"Yes Cal" 

"You wanna go for a little getaway this weekend? Just you and me and the beach?" 

"Yeah sure, where to?" I ask, walking up to the calendar placed up against my wall. 

I run my finger along the days until I get to this weekend. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. I reread it over and over again. This weekend was when directors from NYU wanted to meet up so they could talk about me coming over with them to New York. But then again, we'd be doing this early Saturday morning? And it wouldn't take long. 

"Dee? Dee? You there?" Calum brings me back. 

"Oh yeah, yeah I'm here" 

"Are you okay?" 

"Yeah I'm fine" I disguise my worry, "So where did you wanna go?" 

"There's this spot about 3 hours away, are you okay to drive that far?" 

"Anything for you Cal" I reply, "So I'll pick you up at around" 

I look back at the calendar and think of a time that I would probably be finishing with the NYU directors. 

"At around say 12?" 

"Sure, I better go I'm in the middle of a recording sesh with Ashton" 

"Okay tell him I say" 

"No worries, bye love you" 

"Love you too" 

I hang up the phone and put it down on my study desk. Calum doesn't know about any of this. He doesn't know about the competition or the NYU directors. Nothing. 

I'm trying to write longer chapters for you all to read:) i promise that the chapters will get longer ! LOVE YOU xx
