Trittany: Finding Each Other

Chapter 9 Comforting

Trevor's POV

I enter into the the rehearsal room happy because I found out that I got a small part in a movie and I'm really excited.

I see Jordan, Victoria and a few others hugging and crying. I get a little confused as to what is going on.

"Did someone die?" I ask. "No, Didn't you get the email?" Jordan asks. "What email?" I say clueless. "Trevor, Family Channel isn't renewing The Next Step for its sixth season!" She says sadly.

All the joy I felt before was now gone. I knew TNS would last but this came so soon. Why? It's not like The Next Step wasn't popular. In fact it was really popular. All the time there was fans doing edits and sending in messages about how much they loved the show. I didn't get it. But as much as I didn't want to except it, It is officially over.

I won't play James anymore and Brittany.. wait Brittany. Brittany will take this to heart. She will be the most upset out of everyone.

The sound of a door open and closed stoped me from thinking. I look over and see Brittany come in with red teary eyes. I walk over to her and open my arms. She excepts it and starts crying into my shirt.

"I'm so sorry Britt." I knew she would be upset but not like this. "W..What will..H..Happen now?" She asks still crying.

"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." I tell her trying to sound positive.

She looks up at me with her dark brown eyes that are filled with tears. "How do you handle it so well?" She asks. I open my mouth to talk but instead I take her hand and lead her out of the room. "Brittany, I am just as sad as the rest of you guys. I'm devastated." I explain.  "But how do you take it so well?" She asks. I think 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." I tell her.

She is still for a moment. "I don't want to lose you." She says quietly. Her answer surprises me. I didn't think I would be the reason why she's so upset but I wanted to calm her down so I just simply said "Brittany, You won't lose me." "How do I know that?" She asks still with tears dripping down her face.

I take up her hand and kiss it. "Trust me." I whisper and she nods her head. I pull her closer to me then before. "Thank you" She whispers. "For what?" "Being my best friend." Brittany says looking up at me. I just smile and look down at her. "It's going to be different huh?" I ask. "Yea, no more Riley or James. No more Jiley." "Don't be sad Britt. You will probably get another show and play a character that's in a relationship and you will meet him and goof off together at set." I say trying to cheer her up.

"I don't want another guy." She says and tightens her own grip around me. As much as I adore Brittany, I can't have her being confused and telling me all this stuff when she's upset and doesn't mean it. I don't want her to regret telling me anything. I needed to stop her so I did.

"We should go before they start to suspect anything." I say and let go of Brittany. She seemed to be a little startled by my sudden need to go back to the group. I open the door for her and she walks over to Victoria and they hug. I grab Jordan to talk to her when everyone arrived.

"Hey, I think we should skip rehearsal today." I suggest. "Yea, I think that email has affected all of us greatly. Especially Brittany." She said turning her head and looking at everyone. "I don't think she should be by herself." She adds. "She is a adult you know." I state. "I know, but you also know how I am." "Yes I do know how you are mother." I tease. "Son, Go ask Vic to go with her." Jordan said playing along.
