Chapter 8 ~ Dancing

LIVS POV

I woke up and went on my phone, I saw that Marcus and Martinus had posted a photo, what I saw before me was something I had never even dreamed of, it was a picture we took yesterday at the pool, the caption was 'So glad to have made some great friends' I was so excited but at the same time a little crushed, I really want to go out with Marcus but they just see us as friends. I should be grateful that we are their friends, so I try to remember that if I ever get sad. Mia finally woke up and we decided to go and get some breakfast. We went with our parents out to a café. I was surprised at the café, a couple of people came up to Mia and I recognizing us from the photo. We took some photos with them and they asked a few questions. We were out for a long time. When we came back to the hotel Mia and our parents decided to go grocery shopping. I didn't really want to go so I got in the elevator.

 When I got out I heard 'light it up' playing. I saw that Marcus and Martinus were with their back up dancers practicing for the show in a couple of days. I wonder why they are doing it in the hallway of a hotel. I stand at the elevator so I don't interrupt their rehearsal, I will go after they finish the song. I was watching them dance and they are really good, I couldn't wait until the show. I was watching them do this really cool move when one of the girls rolled her ankle. Everyone stopped I ran up to her. Everyone was panicking "I've got some ice in my room, do you want me to go get it?" she nodded back at me. I ran to my room and got ice. The boy's parents had got a chair and a first aid kit. I gave them the ice. She looked like she was in a lot of pain. "She is not going to be able to dance at the concert" their dad said sadly. "What are we going to do?" one of the dancers said. "Liv!" Marcus looked at me. "Yes?" I replied, he grabbed my hand "You said you were a dancer right. You can fill in can't you? Please, we really need you" he looked so sad. "I guess I can try" he hugged me tight "You're a life saver. We have a couple of days until the concert so we can teach you the dances. You will be fine" Marcus pulled out of the hug. I nodded in agreement. We called an ambulance and when they came, they took her and Marcus and Martinus' dad and left to get an x-ray.

 We headed down to a dance studio to start teaching me the routines. I wasn't really in the right head space at the moment, all I could think about was if the girl was going to be all right. I really just winged that rehearsal. Everyone had left and I was about to but Marcus grabbed me. "Liv, come with me" he took me back into the dance room. "I could tell you weren't really focused in rehearsal, so I want to help." It was just Marcus and I. he starting teaching me the dances, step by step. He was a really good teacher. He made sure I understood every part so by the time we finished, the dances were basically glued into my head. I went up to Marcus and hugged him as a thank you. "Marcus, you don't happen to know how to slow dance do you? It's my brother's wedding next month and I really need to learn how to slow dance." He went and got a drink of water and put on some music. When he came back he place my arm on his should and he placed his on my waist, he then held my other hand. He guided me across the floor, at first it was hard but then I got the hang of it. I really enjoyed it and it felt like we were dancing for hours. After the song ended he spun me around under his arm. "See, you're a natural" I smile, he is so nice. He pulls me back in. "You will be ready for your brother's wedding" he comes in close to my ear "and maybe ours?" did he just say that. We aren't even dating. He just melts my heart. We keep dancing until Martinus walks in. "You two love birds ready?" we laugh and we grab our things. Marcus then starts to hold my hand, I start to die a little inside. 

Their dad is here to pick us up. We jump in the car and we all sat in the back so I was squashed between Marcus and Martinus. "So, how is Jessica?" Marcus asks. I assume she is the dancer. "She is feeling fine, she is in a lot of pain though. The doctors say she has fractured her ankle and will be out for the rest of the tour." We all looked shocked. We start to drive back to the hotel. I am so tired and I let out a yawn. "Aw, you tired after all that dancing?" Marcus asked. I nodded. He placed my head on his shoulder and he started playing with my hair. Their dad looks back. "So are you two a thing now?" I look up to Marcus. "You could say that" Marcus said while smiling and staring into my eyes.
