Brooke's POV: 20 minutes later, we was at the studio. We all jumped out of the minibus and walked into the studio, nicks arm around me. 

Once we was inside, we all put our bags down in the viewing area and got  changed into just our dance clothes, the moms stayed in the viewing room and we followed miss abby into the studio for rehearsals. "right, everyone stretch and warm up, and then i want to go straight into group rehearslas, i'll decided what order i want to work on the other numbers after that" miss abby said, we all nodded. Me, Paige, Chloe and Nick stood in a spread apart circle and began to warm up. 

After 20 minutes, we was all warmed up, and ready to start the group number when miss abby spoke "actually ive changed my mind, we have a few numbers this weekend being acro numbers including the group number, so before we start that, i want to have an acro lesson", me and paige smiled at eachother, we both love acro and its our forte! miss abby continued "right so everyone get the mats out, paige and brooke, i want you to front and centre to lead the acro, you are both more advanced than others", me and paige nodded, i could see her smiling, she was so happy! 

Once we got the mats out, we put them into two lines, one behind the other. Because me and paige where leading the acro, we went on the front mat in the middle, nick sat next to me and chloe sat next to paige. Maddie, Kenzie, Asia, Nia and Kendall went on the back line. we started by doing 10 forward and 10 backwards one after the other. I was the first to finish, followed by paige, then nick, then chloe. I love how much extra practise Chloe is putting into acro as it isnt her forte, whenever she comes to our house, she always asks me to come in the garden with her to work on her acro moves such as back tucks and handsprings, of course i always say yes! Everyone else finished their walkovers, so we then moved onto doing front, side, and back ariels along the rows of mats, miss abby paired us with who we work to the closest levels with however there was an odd number. "brooke i want you to go across first by yourself to demonstrate how they should be done and executed" miss abby said, i nodded. she paired everyone up, one person would go along the front set of mats, the other along the back set. Miss abby put Paige and Nick together, nick in my line and paige on the back line, chloe and nia together, maddie and kendall, asia and mackenzie. Chloe, Kendall and Asia were all in my line as well as Nick, everyone else was in Paige's line, "right brooke, start us off" miss abby said, i took my place at the edge of the first mat, i stretched my arms up and began my set of front ariels. I managed to do 7 ariels across the mats before reaching the end mat, i ended with my arms above my head stretched out, miss abby hates when we end it sloppy. "great example brooke! right nick and paige, of you go" miss abby said, paige and nick began and came across the mats in my direction. When nick landed his final ariel, he smiled at me and winked, i smiled back, "you okay?" he asked, "yeah, i love you being on the competition team you know" i replied, "me to cookie, i know it may just be for this week but hey you never know" "i know, i just want you to be on it forever!" "me too brookie" nick said hugging me, i hugged him back and he squeezed me tight, i laughed and he let go smiling at me, i smiled back. Everyone had done their front ariels, so i demonstrated the side ariels and everyone followed. A few people in the group couldnt do back ariels, it was only me, nick, paige, chloe since she landed it a few weeks back when i was helping her, she hasnt stopped doing them since, im so proud of her!. Because only the four of us could do the back ariels, nick came across with me and chloe went with paige. Me and Nick looked at eachother as we took a step onto the front of the mats, we both smiled and nodded before starting our kartwheel and going into back ariels, we fitted 6 onto the row of mats, we landed in sync, we looked at eachother, smiled and laughed. Chloe and Paige then went, Chloe's were getting better and better each time, once they reached the end of the mats, miss abby spoke "well done you four, all very neat especially you chloe, im really happy with how much you've grew in acro over the past month or two, well done!", chloe smiled "thank you miss abby! but it wouldnt have been possible if brooke hadn't of been helping me, she's taught me so much!", i smiled at chloe, miss abby replied "well thank you brooke for helping chloe, keep it up you both", me and chloe looked at eachother, raised our eyebrows and smiled before laughing. 

Miss abby then wanted us to have a mini competition to see who could stay in chin stand for the longest without coming down, we all got back into the same places on the mats as before, miss abby told us to face the mirrors so that we could see everyone. Although miss abby had a stopclock, she allowed me to get my phone and put it next to me to see how long i stayed up in it for, i quickly grabbed my phone and sat back down. I put the stopclock on on my phone, "and up!" miss abby said, we all went up into our chin stands. Maddie came out of hers after 10 seconds, i could see abby's face in the mirror, she was not happy. 5 seconds passed, and then Kendall came out of hers. Mackenzie then came out of hers, Asia followed when we reached 30seconds. I seen Chloe start to stuggle, i smiled at her in the mirror and tried to hint to her to keep on going, she nodded and stayed in the chin stand, it was coming up close to a minute, nick came out of it laughing, i smiled at him in the mirror and he said to me "keep on going brookie, come on", i smiled and concentrated in staying in it. Chloe then came out when we reached 1minute 5seconds, just me and paige where left, we kept smiling at eachother in the mirror. It came to 2minutes32seconds, paige went down out of chin stand, it was just me left, i was about to come down when miss abby said "stay in it brooke, dont come down just because everyone else has", so i stayed up. We got to 3 minutes and i was still up, it was begining to hurt but miss abby said, "come on brooke, try and make it to four minutes", so i pushed myself to stay up, "come on brookie you can do it" nick said, "yeah come on brooke" chloe added followed by paige adding "yeah cookie, you can do this, dont give up now", i smiled and stayed up. "wow brooke you've been up four minutes!" paige said, "see how much longer you can stay up brooke" miss abby said, i smiled slightly and stayed up, i was about to come down when nick said "no brooke, just 10 more seconds and you'll have reached 5 minutes, come on you can do it!", i smiled and stayed up, nick, chloe and paige began to countdown "10..9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...done!!", i came out of it and laughed before shaking all of my body, "well done brooke, that was amazing!!" miss abby said, i smiled. "it truly was" nick added, i smiled back at him, "right guys, get the mats away and lets get started on the group!" miss abby said, we all jumped up, put the mats away and got into our starting positions. 

"Maddie feet!!" "Maddie use your emotions!!" "Maddie what are you doing?!" Miss abby repeatedly yelled. Maddie wasn't being her usual self, she seemed, off. She wasn't dancing how she usually dances, i could see that abby's words were upsetting her, "right, go get a drink or whatever and hopefully some of you will come back not being a complete mess" miss abby said to us all but staring at maddie. We all nodded and went to the waterfountain next to the toilets, maddie ran into the toilets, i could hear her crying so i followed her in. 

"maddie, whats up?" i asked, "you dont care, all you care about is paige, chloe and nick, none of us" maddie snapped back. "what? how can you say that i dont care?! i care about all of you girls, you are all my family and im sorry if because nicks my boyfriend, paige is my sister, and chloe is like my best friend you think that means i dont care about you infact, im not sorry in a way, you should know that i love you all so so much", "im sorry brooke, i didnt mean it, im just under so much pressure from my mom and abby, i hate it", "i know sweetie" i said putting my arms around maddie and pulling her into a hug before i continued to say "what dont you like about it?", "the pressure they put my under each and every week with a new solo, the lead in the group and a duet or trio, its too much, it made me crack, and now i always get yelled at by them both", "aw sweetie, i know how it feels in a way, miss abby used to be like that with me giving me all them roles when i was soo little, so i told my mom and my mom went to abby to ask her to calm it down a little but miss abby flipped and thats why they dont get on anymore" "really?" "yep, ever since" "wow, i wish my mom stood up for me though, she just always takes abbys side" "awe come here sweetie" i said pulling Maddie back into a hug, "now come on, wipe away your tears and lets get back out there, dont let miss abby see that she's upset you, yeah?" i said, maddie nodded smiling, i took hold of her hand and we walked back into the studio and began dancing. 

The rest of the day went pretty quick, we ran through all of the other numbers, last was mine and nicks duet. I loved dancing with nick, he was so amazing.  Miss abby and the girls clap when we performed our duet for the last time, nick pulled me into a hug and squeezed me tight, i laughed. 

We all went into where our parents where sat, we put our joggers etc. back on over our dance stuff. Nick took hold of my hand and we followed everyone out to the minibus to take us home.
