The Walls that Keep me from you

Chapter ten

We pull into the packed parking lot.  I follow Ariana into the mall.  I feel so out of place, I am in sweats and I have no clue what to do and I am following Ariana like a little lost puppy.

"So where do you want to go first?" She asks  smiling.

"I don't care I just need some clothes."

"Well whats your style?"

"I was a tomboy when I was still alive, not in a coma.  But I don't like the tomboy style anymore."

She nods.

"Well lets get you some undergarments first."  We walk into Victoria secret and look around.

"So what size are you?"

"I really don't know."

She giggles.

"Well lets get you multiple sizes to try on then."

I try on many bras and up getting four 34 C bras.  One bra is hot pink with lace, another is neon blue with some gems scattered on it and the other two are just plan black and white.  We hit some other stores.  Once we're done we take a break and go to the food court.

I should mention the tour while we eat.

We both get salads and take a seat and start talking.

"So how do you like L.A. so far?  You're from the U.K. correct?"

"Yeah, you must of picked up on my accent.  I like L.A. I think I'll be able to accomplish my dreams."  I say smiling.

"Oh what's your dream?"  She asks engaged taking a sip of her water.

"Well I've always wanted to be a triple threat, but my ultimate dream is being a professional dancer."  I start grinning when I see her face light up.

"That's awesome!  You know I am going on tour soon and someone in the dancing crew dropped out, maybe you can learn from them and maybe preform on stage."

"Your mother s-"

"You mean our mother." 

"Sorry, it's hard getting use to saying that, but anyway our mother saw me dancing and she told me about your up coming tour.  And I would be honored to preform with you." 

She claps and smiles.

"Yay, you can work with the crew during their practice tonight!"

"Really?"  I say brimming with excitement.

"Of course!  We can get you some Adidas when we're done eating."

"Thank you."

Ariana and I instantly became best friends while we were getting to know each other.  I got plain black high top Adidas.  Ariana ended up paying for everything.  I had tons of new clothes.  By the time we got home it was six.

"Hey girls, how was the mall?"

"Great I got tons of clothes and shoes, even Adidas high tops to dance in!"

"Also we're practically best friends and she's going to practice with the crew at seven."

"Well that's good, you should get changed then Hope it takes awhile to get the dance studio."

"Okay."  I jog upstairs with bags of clothes.  I get changed and wear my new pink bra with my flowy crop top that has all different patterns on it.  I put on my matching panties and pull black and white leggings with different patterns on them on.  I put on some deodorant and put my hair up in a high pony tail.  Lastly I put on my black high tops.  I quickly head back down stairs.

"Here you go honey." Joan says handing me a bag with a bottle of water and some pain killers for my leg.

"Thanks mom, I'll see you later."

"Have fun!" She says waving goodbye as I jog out of the house with Ariana.  We get in the car and start driving away.

"I think you'll really like Brian and Scott.  They're all really nice and good teachers and of course dancers."

"Sweet, I am really looking forward to this."

We get to the studio a bit late.

"Hey guys I am sorry that we're late."  Ariana says to the crew.

"Whose the new girl?"  A guy asks.

"This is my new little sister Hope.  She's going to be joining us today and maybe even on tour."

"Hi guys, its a pleasure to meet you all."  I say grinning.

I see people whispering things to each other, I don't feel welcomed.

"Ariana I don't think they like me."  I whisper to her.

"Well you'll prove them that you belong here."  She whispers back.

"Okay guys lets have a warm up,  we'll be dancing to replay." Another guy says.  I smile to myself.

I got this!

Two twins stand in the front of the class observing everyone with Ariana.  We all form a line.  The music begins.  And we all start dancing.  I put my heart into it and add emotion even though its just a warm up, I want to prove them wrong.  While I dance I see Ariana grinning and the twins smiling as well.  The song ends and a smile spreads widely across my face.  I did perfectly.

"Great job Hope!  I think you're in, how's in your leg?"

"Thanks,  the pain is getting worse but I'll be fine, I'll just take some pain killers."  As I take some pain killers the twins walk over to me.

"Good job during the warm up, I'm Brian and this is Scott."

"Thanks."  I shake their hands.

"So what are we working on today?"  I ask putting my water down.

"The way."

I listen to the song and study the crews moves as they show me.  I pick it up some what quick. 

"Good Hope, you got the moves just got to work on making those moves smoother, making sure they flow." Scott instructs me. I nod and try to smooth it together. 

"Bye Scott, Bye Brian, Bye everyone." I say waving goodbye taking my bag and following Ariana out.  It was nine when we were done practicing.

"So how was it?" I can tell Ariana is grinning by the tone in her voice.

"I loved it,  I like Brian and Scott a lot.  I am looking forward to more practices.

"Oh!  I forgot to ask you.  Do you want to come to the airport with me tomorrow?"

"Sure, Who are we going to meet?"

"My boyfriend and his brothers.  You'll love them!"

"Oh what are their names?"

"Jai, Beau and Luke Brooks."

WHAT?!
