The Next Step: Jiley later on

Chapter 36 Black and Blue

Riley's POV

I am meeting Emma, Emily, My mum, Emma's Mum and sister to go wedding dress shopping after Rehearsals today.

James left early to go workout so I am here alone. I pull out the mixer and fill the cup with milk, fruit and some protein powder. I tap on the counter with my nails while I wait for it to mix.

I poor the greenish mixture into a cup and take my keys and lock the door. I drive to the studio while drinking my smoothie. I park next to James' car and get out of my car with papers and such.

My arms are full when I try to open the metal door of the studio but I didn't succeed. I tripped on the corner of the door and fell. Luckily, I wasn't hurt but Luke saw and came running up to me.

"Riley, I saw you fall, Are you ok?" Luke asks. "Yea I'm fine." I reply as he helps me pick up my papers. He also helps me stand up again but my foot starts hurting as soon as I put weight on it. "Ow!" I yell and Luke looks at me funny. "I thought you said you were fine?" He asks. "Yea I thought that too." I reply.

Luke helps me to my chair at my desk and he leaves to get James. I take of my shoe and look at my foot. It wasn't cut or anything but it was already bruising. "Great." I mumble to myself. "Riley?" I hear my husband say. He comes over and takes a look at my sore blue and purple foot. "It's not broken or sprained but you do need ice on it, it's beginning to swell." He says after looking at it. "Hey Skylar!" He says looking over me. I guess the dancers are here now.

Skylar comes over and sees my foot. "Oh my gosh, what happened?" She asks. "I tripped." I answer back.

"Skylar, can you get some ice?" James asks. Skylar nods and a few minutes later comes back with ice. "Thanks" I smile at her. She gives me a side hug and leaves my office. "Now, let that foot rest. If you need anything let one of the teens do it." He tells me and I nod my head. He disappears out of my sight and I start working on Regional papers.

During the day each one of the dancers peered into my office to see if I needed anything. Each time I declined but it was sweet of them to think of me. My bruising got worse but my foot isn't swollen anymore at the end of the day.

I said good bye to the dancers and slowly limp out to the car and make my way to the wedding dress store that I was meeting everyone at.

Again I slowly walk into the store and the lady shows me to where Emma and everyone was sitting. This was the first time I meet Emma's sister and mother. Emily had yet to arrive but other then that everyone was here.

I greeted my mother and Emma as she introduced me to her family. Emma's sister was very friendly and seemed outgoing but the mother seemed more quiet and pays attention to everything around her but without saying a word.

I didn't tell anyone about my bruised foot but maybe I should of because when Emily came in, she stepped on my hurt foot while handing Max to my mother. I shout in pain and everyone looks at me. I mean every single person. "I'm so sorry!" Emily says trying to help me. After the pain decreased I told them what happened early today. "Riley, you should be resting." Emma tells me. "No, I want to be here." I say with a weak smile on my face. Emma smiles back and after all the fuss she continues to try on wedding gowns.

After about 5 hours of no's, maybe's and that isn't you, Emma finally picked a dress. It was a fitted lace sweetheart neckline with a beaded belt showing off her curves and I must say that she looked gorgeous. Matty is so lucky.

I came home late and took medicine for the pain. I carefully made my way to the couch because I did not want to climb stairs with a hurt foot and pregnant. I don't know why but I started to cry. I had no reason to cry but I just did.
