The Next Step:Jiley's story

The old us

"I thought you were staying at home looking after the triplets." I say to James, confused as to why he's here, not that I mind. "Well, I walked into Poppy and Isla's room to see them both attempting to pirouette, and decided to bring them to the studio." he tells me, I'm confused, how can two only just one year olds be attempting to pirouette "Wait, how an earth did they try to pirouette?" I ask him, he chuckles and looks down at me "basically they were hopping in a circle and falling over but when I asked them what the were doing the said pietting so I kind of guessed they were trying to pirouette." he says, I laugh before taking James' hand and leading him down the corridor "where are they?" I ask him whilst we're walking "Don't even worry about it." he says before leading me into the music room, I see Poppy and Isla trying to join in with baby ballet, they're not doing that bad but I see Oscar, who has taken the centre of the room, doing some pretty cool hip-hop moves, considering he's only one I'm impressed. I stand at the door and watch all eight of our kids dancing, it's so adorable.

We kept watching for a good thirty minutes, in that time I noticed an adorable little girl with pigtail, she kind of reminded me of me when I was three but what really struck me was how much she seemed to like Oscar, it kind of reminds me of the old Jiley.

Flashback

Today was my first ever day of J-troupe, I had proved myself at the studio and I was now allowed to join J-troupe, Emily told me not to worry because everybody would love me but I was still so nervous, this was my first ever time dancing with a competitive troupe but I know I'm ready. I walk into the music room behind Emily and almost instantly I'm bombarded with people who have been here forever, I didn't know what to do so I just walked over to the side and began putting my ballet shoes on, I was in my own little bubble until this boy I'd never seen before walked over to me "Hi, I'm James." he said overly confident "Hi, I'm Riley." I said far more quietly "Riley, a cute name for a cute girl." he said, I smiled and then he took my hand and dragged me to my feet "Okay, guys this is Riley." James shouted over the noise, I was impressed that he managed to quieten them all, he must be the ring-leader "That's my job." I heard Emily mutter under her breath, I just giggled.

From that day forward James and I have been best friends, girlfriend and boyfriend, enemies and now Fiancé's. And now, looking at Oscar and this girl, I'm reminded of how once we just two friends in the same dance class. James looked down at me "you seeing what I'm seeing?" he asks me I just nod and let him do the talking "we used to look something like that, me the insanely cool hip-hop guy and you the adorable munchkin who never talks unless you really know her." he says, this makes me smile "Hey, I'm not a munchkin." I say in protest but by this point I'm giggling uncontrollably "But here's the thing, you so are." he says making me laugh even more "Whatever." I reply, then his hand tightens around my waist and I rest my head on his arm because I'm too short to reach his shoulder.

We carry on watching until the end of the session and then we walk inside, I'm amazed the kids hadn't noticed us until now but as soon as they do they all charge at us, covering us in little arms and legs. Once I've convinced them to let go of me and James I walk over to an exhausted looking Giselle and Daniel who had been taking the class "Hey, how's the class been?" I ask them both "Exhausting." Giselle says whilst Daniel nods his head in agreement, I laugh before going to find the kids so I can get them ready to leave. "Mommy, Oscar's got a girlfriend!" Amelia shouts at me, I laugh and turn to Oscar who is completely oblivious to what is going on, instead he's showing his new friend how to do a forward roll, I walk over to him and sit down next to him "What's your name?" I ask the girl, she looks at me, scared so I just smile and give her some time "I'm Annie." she says, my eyes begin to fill up and I can feel my nose tinging, I know I'm about to cry but I can't do it in front of baby ballet, I'm about to stand up and leave before I end up crying in front of everybody but then I feel little arms around my neck and I look down to see Annie hugging me "don't cry." she says with an adorable lisp, I can't help but smile, this little girl knows exactly what to do and what to say. Just then I feel James' arms rest on my shoulders "Yeah, Riley don't cry." he says, I smile an even bigger smile and then stand up and pick Oscar up with me, he waves goodbye and we walk outside, ready to go back home.

A/N: I didn't have a clue how to end this, so yeah that's why it's so rubbish.....
