Little Miss Perfect

Chapter 15

Authors note:

So if I keep writing then this will become a very boring story about school and pregnant people problems. So I'm going to skip 6 months. That makes Chloe 7 months pregnant. So yeah that's where we're up to now. So enjoy...

Chloe's POV

"More cream cheese!!!" Paige rushed to the fridge and came back with a tub in her hand. I snatched it and ripped off the lid. I shoved a pickle into it and munched down on its yumminess. I've always heard that women get weird cravings while they're pregnant. I never thought of cream cheese and pickles as a contester. A weary Paige sat down on the couch next to mine. "Why did Josh have to leave me here? Being a servant for a pregnant girl is not fun!" She pouted at me. "Well isn't it like stepping up as a sibling? Where is Josh anyway?" Her eyes wavered with worry for a split second before returning to her normal perky blue pupils. "Um I think he said something about groceries and a new tool box." I very well knew that wasn't where he was but I knew if they wouldn't tell me it was for me so I didn't mind much. "Okay Chloe I want to take you somewhere. So go put on some half decent clothes and clean yourself up." I sighed grudgingly as I shoved myself up off the couch. I officially hate having a giant baby in my stomach. It's a place for my dinner not for children!! I will never understand Mother Nature..

I had a quick shower, just to freshen up. I chose a loose, sheer dress with 3/4 sleeves and a floral pattern. I applied some makeup and I loosely curled my hair. I threw on some black flats and grabbed my purse. I got into Paige's car, questioning her about where we were going. She wouldn't answer but instead she blindfolded me! Like what the hell! Where are we going! After about 15 minutes of driving we came to a stop. Paige opened my door and guided me out. I could hear her heels clacking against the pavement but I couldn't see anything at all. I heard a small creak and I was hit with a blast from an air conditioner. Paige lead me through some sort of hallway. It was awfully quiet in here. I felt us going upwards. "Paige are we going up some stairs?" I moved my feet gingerly, just in case I slipped. "Yes Chlo." I felt us reach flat ground again. "Okay Chloe sit down. I promise there's a seat there. Once you're seated your blindfold can come off." I sat down and ripped the black scarf from around my head. I looked around but Paige was gone. There was no one else in here. But where was here? It took me a minute but I worked it out. I was in the ALDC mom viewing room! There was black cloth draped everywhere and gold and pink candles were lit up everywhere. Next to me I had a bucket of popcorn along with some cream cheese and pickles. I looked down to the studio. Instead of seeing the floor there was a big black cloth rippling up and down. It had WE LOVE YOU CHLOE! Written in pink sequins. All of a sudden the cloth went flying, revealing the dream team standing on the floor. They were all dressed in white and there was a swing set in the corner. Wait were they going to perform Where Have All The Children Gone? That was my favorite number when I was a kid! The music started and the girls began to dance. It was the same dance only the choreography was harder and Mackenzie and Clara were doing flips on the swing. Once it ended I erupted in applause. They all bowed and ran out. About 30 seconds later Maddie returned. She was in a costume very similar to her Angel one. Her music started and she began to perform the solo just a flawlessly as she did when she was 9. Each girl presented 2 solos along with 5 more group dances and a few duets and trios. This was the order:

. Where Have All The Children Gone?

. Angel

. The Wild Child and the Wallflower.

. Diary of Anne Frank

. Just Be

. Bollywood

. Make Some Noise

. Sugar Babies

. Masked

. Run From Mother

. Daisy Chains

. The Last Text

. Leaving Berlin

. People

. Sugar and Spice

. Nothings gonna stop us.

. Working Girl

. Careless

. Somebody Told Me (became a duet)

. Private Eyes

. Kiss Kiss

. Circus Circus

Their performance ended with a dance to Cher Loyd's song 'Oath'.

By the end I was clapping as tears streamed down my face. I headed downstairs to find everybody. Pretty much every dancer at the studio was in the den, talking and laughing. A pile of presents were stacked up on the back table. Their was plates of food on another table. Everyone in the room was wearing WE LOVE YOU CHLOE shirts, even the little kids I don't know. I ran up to Miss Abby (who was also in one of the shirts). "Abby! Wh-what is all this? I was horrible to all of you and I ditched you for cheer leading. Why are you still doing this? Why did all the girls agree? Wh-" "Chloe!! Calm down! Look when you were a student here you were a joy to be around. So lovely and bubbly. And not to mention your dancing exquisite. When you quit it was just high school getting to your head. I knew you too well to know that in the long run you wouldn't throw your god given talent away. So please just enjoy this! We spent so long planning this. It was all Josh's idea. Consider it your baby shower." I wrapped her in a hug. It was so nice that she did this after everything that happened. After a while I drifted away from Abby. After some boring conversations with some people I found Paige and Maddie. "Hey I didn't know you guys could still dance like that! I thought you quit years ago!" "We did," Paige started explaining, "But just like you we still maintained our flexibility and strength. I did some dancing through school which was helpful as well. Then about a month after you became pregnant Josh called us and explained his idea to us. We eagerly agreed. Almost every night we came over here to reperfect all the numbers. And we handmade all the shirts. But it was worth it, the look you had on your face when we dance is one I'll never forget." I smiled and wrapped both girls in a hug.

Over the next hour or so I made up with Nia and Mackenzie. I also had a good chat with Kendall, reassuring that I'm 100% her true friend and it's not fake or doubtable. I wondered around, talking to people who stopped me. I was looking for one person though. Josh. I felt two warm arms creep around my body, pulling me into a backwards hug. I guess he found me first. I spun around and jumped into his arms, squeezing him tight. "Thank you. For everything. For this party, for the apartment, for not leaving me, everything." He kissed my head. "Anything for you Chlo." I smiled and buried my head into his shoulder. This. Was. Perfect.
