Chloe's POV

I smile wide as he gets out of the car, before he can even shut the car door I run over and wrap my arms around his neck making him laugh.

"Hey" he says hugging me back, I blush and pull away from the hug as he shuts his car door.

"I'm sorry about that" I say awkwardly making him laugh, oh god that laugh. I love it, it's like the best sound in the world

"Don't worry about it" he says making me nod

"So Mitch has offered for you to share his caravan with him, is that okay?" I ask him as we both lean against his car

"Yeah that's fine" he says with a smile as he watches me, I bite my bottom lip as I look at the ground.

"So we have a uniform ready for you for on show nights, basically just help us unpack now" I say making him laugh "what?" I ask.

"You're cute you know" he tells me making my blush more noticeable

"So are you" I say before looking up at him "I mean handsome, girls a cute. Guys can't be.. they are handsome, oh god I just made a fool of myself" I add

"No that's great" he says holding back his laugh making me hit his shoulder

"Was not, now come on" I say grabbing his hand before pulling him into the tent and out back. Of course Ryan got some looks but every one was busy with setting up.

"How does everyone move so fast, like you's pack up fast, then unpack fast" he say making me laugh, it was basically just our life. Well it is, we've learnt to be fast.

"You'll get used to it" I say as I lead Ryan over to the bag that has his uniform, I picked it up and handed it to Ryan. He thanks me as he takes it.

Ryan's POV

Chloe was in the tent with Mitch, jack and holly. They where all practicing their group trapeze act. I was helping Mrs Hosterman move the boxes of food into the food van

"Chloe talks about you a lot you know" mrs Hosterman says as I carry a box as does she, we are walking over to the food van.

"She does?" I ask surprised, she just nods with a smile

"You are the first guy she's ever even mentioned"  she says as we get to the food van, we step inside and I sit the box down on the chair in here. I take the box from Chloe's mother and put it on top of the one I put down, Then I turn to face mrs Hosterman.

"You and mr Hosterman raised a lovely woman, I'm very thankful you aloud me to join the circus" I tell her honestly, she smiles at me. She reminded me of Chloe a lot, Chloe was so much like her mother

"Thank you Ryan, we are all a family here" she Says as she gets the popcorn packets out of the boxes "and we are very glad to have you part of our family" she adds making me smile, I go to thank her but we hear a loud thump coming from inside the tent. Mrs Hosterman gets out of the food van, I follow she quickly into the tent. I rush over quickly when I see Chloe sitting on the mats. Mitch checking her over

"What happened?" Mrs Hosterman asks clearly worried about her daughter as I kneel down beside Chloe

"We finished the trapeze act and I was practicing my other act and the rope snapped" Chloe says holding her right wrist, I look over and see the hoop on the ground with a bit of rope still tied to it.

"Why wasn't this checked!" Mrs Hosterman asks as she looks her daughter over.

"We checked it before when setting up, there was no sign of the rope snapping, holly and jack have gone to get a ladder, To get the other end of the rope" Mitch says as I look at Chloe

"You okay?" I ask her, she just nods slowly. I look up and see the rope hanging in the air

"Show me your wrist" mrs Hosterman tells her daughter, Mitch gets up as jack and holly come in. I stay besides Chloe as mrs Hosterman looks at her wrist, Mitch, holly and jack are getting the other rope down. Chloe hisses in pain as her mother moves her wrist slightly.

"Okay honey I think you've sprained it" she tells Chloe making me sigh, Chloe looks at her mother

"Will it be okay by the time of the show?" Chloe asks, her mother nods

"It's not bad" she tells her daughter making me smile, I rub Chloe's shoulder just as holly says

"The ropes been cut"
