LIFE: draft

Chapter 23:"Terry's is always full."

Comment lots...

Jill's P.O.V:

"Alright little ones, class is over see you tomorrow." I dismiss my class.

"May I come in mam?" I turn to see Joey standing at the door.

"You may." I smile at him. He chuckles walking into the class. "Sorry I didn't call." I pout hugging him.

"It's alright poppet, who brought you?" He says pulling back.

"Perrie, I was-"

"Miss Jill." I'm cut off by Lilly tugging at my hand.

"Yes Lilly." I bend down to her level she gives me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you for making me a doll." The sweet girl smiles.

"You're a great dancer you deserved it poppet." I smile at her as she skips away.
She made my day.

"So you wanna chill with me in the darkroom while I develop these?" Joey asks as I untie my ballet shoes. "My mum wants them done today."

"I didn't know this place had a darkroom?"

"Mum had a whole studio made downstairs for me." My best-mate holds his hand out for me . "I thought I told you about it?"

"No I think I'd have remembered." I pull out my Doc Martians from my duffle.

"Lets go. I'll show you."

"Let me pull on me boots first." I put on my boots without changing my leotard.

"I'll take you home as soon as these are done." Joey tells me as I take his hand getting up.

"Take your time Joey. Don't worry about me." I tell him as hauls me down the stairs, being with one of my best mates is just what I need after the past few days I've had.

"Here it is." He proudly says as I look around.

"I've never been in one before." My curiosity carries me around the room.

"You're joking." I hear Joey say from behind me.

"I'm camera shy." I shrug my shoulders.

"Here's the darkroom." He pulls me to a door. "These are the ones I took earlier today." He tells me pointing at the hung up photos, of the students practicing.

"They're beautiful, you're like really good. I didn't know you were this good." My eyes wonder around.

"Thanks, a lot of them are for the website and advertising." Joey tells me fiddling with his camera rolls.

"You've never thought about going pro?" I ask leaning against the wall too afraid to touch anything else.

"I have but then who would help out me mum?" He answers motioning for me to come over. "Look." He says as he places the blank in a tray, that looks like it's filled with water...but it's probably something else. An image slowly appears and I can't help but gasp.

"Wow."

"It's nothing really, I can't believe you haven't been in a studio before."

"Well-"

"Oi Joe, you down here?" Somebody calls interrupting me.

"In here." Joey shouts in response.

"Who's that?" I ask the exact same time as the door opens.

Peter walks in to the room not noticing me. "What are you doing? Lets go upstairs..." Peter smacks Joey on the shoulder. "Why are you always in this room anyway? It's a bit creepy." I giggle as the words leave his mouth.
It is then, that he notices me. "Jill." He clears his throat, a little flustered. "What are you doing down here love?" He runs his fingers through his hair.
