The Circus Girl

Chapter 5

Chloe's POV

I smile as I just finished my routine, without one fault. I needed more practice on the trapeze but others needed to practice, I can't practice that one till every one is finished their practicing.

Normally when the other trapezes practice is when I do, as at the end of the show we do a group performance together on the trapeze. I decide to go out back and start helping set everything up out here, I start by making sure all the costumes are in the right place and the mirrors are all set up for when we need to do our makeup.

"Chloe!" Nathan yells as he comes running over, Nathan is 14 his parents are part of the circus so him and his brother do a clown act together.

"Yes!" I yell back making him laugh

"We need help, with our act" he says before pulling me towards his brother, this should be interesting.

"We want to have the balloon pop each time I give it to Greg but we don't know how to get it to pop without Greg popping it" Nathan says once we stop in front of his brother

"Just get someone to shoot one of those small clear elastics at it from back stage" I say with a shrug.

"I guess that could work, come on let's go try it" Greg says before pulling his brother out front, I laugh as I shake my head. One day I hope I would be able to raise my children here, watching as they'd practice their act. My parents had watched me grow up preforming, I hope one day I'd be able to watch my kids.

The circus will hopefully always be apart of my family, one day I'll take over as owner, then one day hopefully my children. Tho not many guys are to keen on circus girls, I've never had a boyfriend before. We are always moving so it makes it hard, but hopefully one day the right guy will come. Sweep me off my feet, I smile at the thought before walking out front. To where I seen the boys practicing their clown act, I laugh as Greg fake kicks Nathan's ass before running off. Others are practicing their acts, I smile as I see the ponies jumping over small jumps.

I loved the circus, I mean how could you not? It's the best thing in the world. We are funny, we preform dangerous tricks.

****

We are all sitting around the camp fire eating dinner, Greg and Nathan's mother does most of the cooking. Jack was sitting beside me as holly was over flirting with Mitchell we all call him Mitch.

"So who was that guy today?" Jack asks me as we eat dinner, it was a beautiful night, the stars shining bright.

"What guy? Ryan?" I ask confused, he nods

"If that's his name" he says picking at his food

"We're just friends, we just met" I tell him. I had always thought jack had a crush on me, tho I was never sure. I heard the loins raw in the background as everyone was talking, there is probably about 30 people who help with this circus. That's counting my parents and me, we all help each other. The boys all help setting stuff up when we are in the middle of the show, we aren't a big circus. We're a family, we all help with everything so that way we don't need that many people.

"Chloe I heard you had a guy here today?" Holly says causing everyone to go silent, shit.

"We just hung out" I say awkwardly as my dad looks at me, he was a protective dad.

"A boy? One I don't know?" My Dad asks making me nod

"Honey they just hung out" my mother tells him before everyone goes back to their own conversation, I glare over at holly making her mouth 'sorry' I finish dinner quickly. Before going over to the caravan, I go to my room. I lay on my bed as I stare at the ceiling, why was Ryan on my mind so much? His laugh. The way he smiled at me, the way his lips nearly connected with mine. It was like magic

I feel this is super boring
