Brittany's POV (I have to put off Trevor's till next update. It worked better this way)

Sunday morning was slow, I didn't leave my apartment because I thought I was catching a cold and I didn't want to spread it. I ended up sleeping almost the entire day and felt better by Monday morning. I had a small cough but that was it. I took a shower before I left just to make sure I didn't get any of the other cast sick. I put my wet hair up in a messy bun and left for rehearsal.

Victoria texted me and asked if I could pick up a coffee for her. So I stoped at the nearest coffee shop and ordered a coffee with vanilla cream for her.

Not too long after a bunch of people texted saying if I could get coffee for them. I laughed to myself thinking Victoria has told them I was getting her some. I stoped once more and got six more coffees. The cashier looked at my funny. She even asked if all that was for me. I looked down at the drinks and I did look like this was all for myself.

When I reached the building, it was a struggle to get my dance bag, 8 drinks including mine in the building trying my best not to drop or spill anything.

I manage to get into the room and everyone came running up to me. They grabbed their drinks but someone spilt the hot coffee and it went all over me. "Ah!" I say and feel the hot liquid touch my skin. Dance clothes are very thin and because of this I felt my skin burn.

"We're so sorry Britt!" Briar says. "Yea, I have spare clothes in my bag. It's not a big deal." I smile and they looked relieved. "Who's coffee was it?" Jordan asks. I look at the cup that was now empty but I see it had the word Brittany spelled on it. "Mine" I laugh.

I dig through my dance bag but I soon found out I only had shorts in there. "Great" I mumble. I went to the washroom and took my wet sticky shirt off so it was just a sports bra and I changed into the shorts. I walked back into the room and started to warm up.

No one comment on my dance attire until Trevor came in. "Show much Raymond?" He laughs and I glare and throw a plastic water bottle at him. "Hey! Watch it!" He says. "Don't make stupid comments like that Tordjman!" I say and everyone laughs. "Touché" He laughs and we continue to warm up.

We worked on the two group dances and then I worked with Victoria and Briar for our trio. Around noon we stoped and Lamar and Isaac picked up lunch for us. It was just simple sandwiches and chips. Trevor and I worked on our duet from then to the time rehearsal ended.

Since it was Monday I had to stay and help clean up. Trevor had to leave because he had to do something for his family so it was just Jordan and I.

"So, How are you feeling?" Jordan asks. "Huh?" I ask. "You were coughing all day." "Oh, I feel better." I say and continue washing the rehearsal room floor. "How is the duet coming along?" "Um, Good I think, We still haven't gotten that one lift." I explain. "You guys will get it." Jordan says winking.

"Thanks for believing in us." I laugh and so does she. "Are you having doubts or something?" "No I just don't want to mess up and have him drop again because I did something wrong." I tell her. "Wait? Trevor dropped you!" She says not believing my words. "Yea, its kinda funny because he panicked when I fell." I laugh. "Aw that's sweet." She says. "Why?" I say still laughing at the memory. "Oh never mind." She says and continues cleaning.

I don't know if Jordan was hinting toward a Trittany thing or if she just thought it was cute how Trevor was worried about me. After we were done, I said goodbye to Jordan and go home to my apartment. I did my usual night time routine and went to sleep. 

My alarm went off right on time like it does every morning. I slowly get up and start to get ready.

While I was eating my breakfast, I opened the laptop and looked at my emails. I saw one from Family channel and I clicked it open and read it. My expression changed dramatically.

Family wasn't renewing TNS for its 6th season. I knew the show had to come to an end eventually but I didn't think it would be this soon. As silly as it sounds, I sat and cried. I don't get to go on set in the summer mornings and dance till my arms and legs feel like there going to fall off, I don't get to go on set as Brittany and then transform into Riley anymore. I don't get to see all the friendly faces in the morning or be silly on set. I really don't want to let this go.

After 15 minutes I manage to get myself together and I slowly drove to the rehearsal building thinking about TNS.

I enter the building and go to rehearsal area 1 and see everyone hugging and talking. Trevor comes up to me and I hug him letting tears fall. I feel his arms tighten around my waste.

"I'm so sorry Britt." He says. I could tell he was upset about it too but I couldn't be strong and handle it like he does all the time. "W..What will..H..Happen now?" I ask in between sobs.

"Well, We will probably all get new shows to work on and meet new cast members and we will go on with our lives. We all knew the next step wouldn't last forever." He says trying to be positive but it's not working. At all.

I look up at him. "How do you handle it so well?" I ask with teary eyes. He opens his mouth but then takes my hand and drags me out of the room. "Brittany, I am just as sad as the rest of you guys. I'm devastated." He explains.
"But how do you take it so well?" I ask. Trevor thinks about it for a minute, "I ask myself what I'm most upset about and I work it out and feel better. Tell me what your most upset about, maybe it will make you feel better." He says.

I think about it for a minute and I know what my answer is. "I don't want to lose you." I say soft and quietly.
