CHELSEA'S POV

"Come on, guys. We're leaving in three days! We just need perfect this final dance, especially since we've got a few younger dancers in it." Cierra sighs as I cringe away from Bryce's grip one last time.

"Chels, you-" I cut her off with a glare. Piper sighs.

"Everyone take five." All my friends look at me in disbelief as I go to walk to my bag. "Except for Chelsea and Bryce." I hold back a groan as the rest of the team leave. As soon as everyone leaves, Piper and Cierra's attention immediately return to Bryce and I.

"Chelsea, you guys use to have such good chemistry-"

"And where do you think that went?!" I scowl. Bryce tries to speak, but Piper cut him off.

"You need to focus. We're leaving you guys here until you figure this out." Cierra and Piper leave.

"Chelsea, I-"

"Don't talk to me." Bryce scowls.

"Chelsea, we have to figure this out. Let me explain." I scoff.

"You took the stupid bet and you won, you have nothing to explain." I sneer.

"Chelsea, please! You mean the world to me and even though I took the bet, I learnt that you make my heart race a thousand miles. I'm not letting go." My heart melted as my scowl softened.

"Fine, you have until finals, if we make it that far. That gives you eight days. After that, I'm done with you and this stupid mess. You broke my heart, Bryce. You better find a way to fix it." I grab my bag and walk out.

BRYCE'S POV

I smile, finding hope. She's giving me a chance! I grab my bag and face towards Lost and Found. I pass Cierra and Piper.

"Bryce! Where are you going?" Cierra calls after me.

"I'm going to make things right. Sorry, if I'm late for practice." I race down the hall and manage to find James, the band and Brighter Brightest all hanging out in the recording studio.

"Bryce, what are you doing here?" Theo spots me first and all attention turns to me. James scowls slightly.

"I need your help." I begin to explain.

"Last time we gave you our help, you broke my daughter's heart." He states, stone cold glare straight at me. I ignore him and give both bands a pleading look.

"James, please. She's giving me another chance." James goes to talk, but I shout. "And I'm not going to waste it! Haven't you ever screwed up with Riley so bad that you were waiting for that one chance to start again and then she gave you that one chance and you made sure not to let it go?" I yell over the top of him. Luke speaks up.

"Come on, bro. The kid has a point. I know he screwed up, but he's fighting for her. That's like if Emily didn't let you fight for Riley." Both bands start helping me out. James looks straight at me again.

"Will you give up fighting if I say no?" I smirk.

"No, I'm will always keep fighting. I'm not letting her go again, James. I love her too much." James' scowl turns into a grin.

"Correct answer. What the plan?" I sit down and start explaining my idea. As soon as I finish, both bands smile.

"Let get this plan in action." John smiles and we start preparing for what I hope is the best gesture ever.
