new part peeps
-------------------------
I woke up to a ray of sunlight shining into my eyes. I rubbed my eyes yawning in the process. I did my weird stretches and turned to look at the clock next to my bed. 5:30 AM. Perfect. I jumped out of bed and walked up to my dresser. I took out a pair of long black tights and a dark red long sleeve top. I was walking around my room trying to find my gym bag when I heard a knock at the door.
"What" I called out to whoever it was on the other side of the door.
"It's me" A soft voice spoke.
"No. I am never talking to you again. I never want to see your face" I said trying my hardest to sound confident.
"Please. Sar. Just tell me what it was that I did. I need to know. I want to fix it" His small voice spoke.
"Liam. If you had a China Vase that fell to the ground, shattered into a million pieces, would the thought of even trying to fix it even cross your mind?"
"I would try to. No matter how long it took" Liam answered.
"If an elastic band snapped in two, would you tie it back together?" I asked curiously.
"Love is not about trying to fix something broken. It's about starting over and creating something stronger and better"
"I'm sorry. Liam. I just can't" I swung open the door read to leave only to see Liam standing there with tears streaming down his face. His hair was an absolute mess. I walked past him and down the stairs catching the bus to the studio. I was greeted by the familiar face of my dance instructor.
"Ah. Miss Payne. Here to do the Red Shoes I presume?" Liana said with a large smile on her face.
"You guessed it" I made my way to studio 7. I reserved it last night before the incident.
I sat down opening my gym bag taking out my black energetiks senior leotard and my black crossover. I also grabbed the ballet pink tights walking into the currently empty change room. I began to remove my clothing and stood in front of the full body mirror in my undergarments. My arms were all scar tissue. My stomach, hips, chest, legs and back were just fading scars. Disgusting. That's what basically summed up my life. Disgusting. I shook my head tearing my gaze away from the mirror before me.
After getting dressed, I noticed a few holes at the top of my tights revealing my scars. I quickly put my black tights back on over my stockings before anyone came in. My European Balance pointe shoes were sitting in the pigeonholes where all the other shoes were. I went to put them on my failed in doing so. They had broken in. I sighed in relief when I remembered that I had my red ones in my bag. They have only been used twice and don't look like they'll break anytime. I slid them on tying up the ribbons on the inside of my ankle. I got back into the studio and played the music.
Everytime I danced, I felt free. I've always wanted to fly and I knew that in another life I could fly. That's why in this life, I dance. (DANCE ACADEMY 4 LIFE) When I started the pirouette just after the 'happy' part of the dance, I began to cry just like Victoria did when she first peformed it. On the very last releve, I began to cry even harder. Then I dropped to the ground at the end of the solo. The tears just kept flowing.
This solo was just like my life. It starts off happy. I moved in with Liam. Then Victoria begins to experience grief and heartache. My life now. The only difference between me and the Red Shoes is Victoria got a happy ending. She didn't have to stay in this hellhole whereas I am stuck here. Bound to a life of loneliness and sadness. I didn't even bother getting off the floor. I laid there for half an hour crying my eyes out until Liana walked in.
"Oh Honey. Come here" She walked over to me hugging me tightly.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I shook my head vigorously.
"How about I call Karen so she can come pick you up yeah?"
"It's fine. I'm meeting up with a friend soon anyways" I lied.
"Okay. How about you go get changed and I'll make you a quick cuppa" I sat up and undid the ribbons on my shoes. I went and got changed and started to drink the cup of Yorkshire tea that Liana left on the counter. As soon as I finished drinking it, I thanked Liana for making me the tea and began to walk home. It would be long and treacherous but I knew that it would help me clear my mind. I stopped on the footpath when I was met with the flashing lights of one particular place.
Scoops! Ice-creamery.
This is the same place we went to before Liam went to audition for X Factor. It was also the day before I began to cut myself. This place was the last place where I went clean. I haven't been there since. I pushed open the little door and heard the bell ring. This place hasn't changed a bit. The room was empty apart from one person sitting down in the little booth where me and Liam would go to after school everyday. The person turned to look at me. I got a better look at him and instantly recognised who it was.
Liam
