We were still driving home after taking a stop to eat. "Hey Stewart can you drop me off at the mall or something. I need to get some new clothes" I asked and he nodded as we changed directions.

"Is this Westfield" I asked them. I don't know anything about this place. "Yes it's a mall so go. Call us when your ready to get picked up" they said and I waved them off. I walked towards the mall as I see the two drive off. "Hope I don't see any of them" I mumble to myself knowing they go here a lot.

I walk in seeing a huge domain of stores, restaurants and all sorts of amazing places.

After about an hour and a half of shopping I walk out of the mall holding multiple bags of clothing. I drop all my bags as I sit down on a bench outside. I then pull out my phone from my pocket and dial in Stewart's number.

"Hey can you come pick me up now" I ask through the phone. "Yeah sure I will be there in like 20 minutes hold tight" he says as he end the quick phone call. As I put my phone down I look around seeing the night lights of London.

I've only been here for almost three months and yet so much had happened. The boys, school, meeting Stewart and Maria, arguments, leaving. I can't help but think how much this whole situation is my fault. If only I didn't have Simon be such an important part of my life. If only Tobi didn't knock on my door that day, and I didn't meet any of them. But all things happen for a reason. Maybe I wasn't meant to be with any of them. Maybe I wasn't meant to be with Simon.

I didn't notice how long I was thinking until I see a bright light come closer to me. I squint my eyes as it stops a couple meters away. "Come on" I heard Stewart's voice making me calm down from my panicked state. I grabbed all my bags and dropped them in the back.

I saw Stewart look behind into the backseat. "All Nike outlet and Adidas, nice" he says noticing the multiple bags with those two logos on it. "I don't do girly clothes" I tell him and he nods. "Well that's one thing you and Maria have in common" he says and I smile. I look over to him seeing him smiling to himself tapping softly on the steering wheel. Aw he is thinking about Maria. "Hey dude. Focus on the road we will see your girlfriend in a little bit" I laugh and he glares at me. As he looks back at the road I see a small tint of pink on his cheeks making me laugh.

"Okay shut up we're here now" he said stepping out of the car with me following close behind. He took his key out and continued to unlock the front door.

Once he did I kicked my shoes off and ran to my room with all my new clothes. I bought about twelve new shirts and about the same amount of pants. I then took out the four boxes of shoes, two Nike and two adidas.

I then continue to fix my clothes into the closet. Luckily the closet wasn't small so all my clothes that I had with me were able to fit nicely.

"Joyce!" I hear my name being called. I walk out of my room and follow where the voice entering Maria and Stewart's room. "Hey" I said walking in. "So we needed to talk to you about something" Maria said and I suddenly feel uncomfortable. "Uh okay what's wrong. Did I do something" I said leaning against the wall.

"No you didn't do anything. It's just that since your out of high school you need to get some type of job. My dad is a manager and I was thinking of maybe he can sign you. Do you have any talents" Maria asks and I wonder for a little bit.

"Uh I took dance for almost five years" I said and Maria's eyes lit up. "Perfect. In two days you and I will go to my dads office" Maria said and I nodded smiling. "Just saying I haven't danced in like eight months. I might be a bit rusty" I said while playfully stretching out my body making them both laugh.

"Go practice do whatever you need. Your gonna do great" Maria said smiling and I nod. I then exit there room speed walking back to mine. I opened then closed my door as well as locking it. I think deep in my mind when I remembered it. When I was in dance I learned this simple yet complex choreography to the song Don't Wake Me Up by Chris Brown.

I managed to remember the entire choreography. I played the song after doing some stretches. The song played and I began the dance.

[Verse 1]
Too much light in this window,
Don't wake me up
Only coffee, no sugar inside my cup
If I wake and your here still, Give me a kiss
I wasn't finished dreaming about your lips

[Chorus]
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, don't wake me
Don't wake me up, yeah
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up, yeah
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, don't wake me

[Verse 2]
So much light in this city, you don't believe
Been awake for some days now, no time to sleep
If your heart is a pillow, this loves the bed
Tell me what is the music inside my head

[Chorus]
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up,
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, don't wake me
Don't wake me up, yeah
Don't wake me up, don't wake me up
Don't wake me up, yeah
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, don't wake me

I finish the dance confident and tired. I fall back on my bed remembering the feeling of finishing a choreography. I felt confident about my dance skills even if I haven't used them in awhile.

"Hey Joyce calm down in there I can here your breathing from out here" I heard Maria yell from my door making me laugh. I go to open the door seeing Maria stood there looking a bit concerned. Once she saw me she calmed down. "Are you confident in your dancing" she asked and I nodded.

"I called my dad and he said it had to be moved to next week. But don't worry you will get the audition but just a little longer" she says. "Okay yeah that gives me more time to practice" I said finding the good in this situation.

"Yeah! Okay now fix yourself up and come to eat" she said walking away from my room leaving me to fix myself.
