Through His Eyes (Royce)

•Chap.5"Dance Studio-Pt1•"

::Jacob's POV::

After about 5minutes,I made it to my old dance studio. Everything looked the same from what I remembered. I walked in the doors and instantly got a rush of memories from back when I used to come here. It was like a flashback monatge you'd see on Tv.It was cool.Most made me smile, but one in particular made me curious.

This certain flashback wasn't like the others.It wasn't all happy. It was weird and made me wonder if this had to do with why I can't remember some things.

Flashback ★ . .

I was in the dance studio alone after practice. I was practicing a routine my group and I had made and been working on for months. It was a Wednesday, & we were supposed to be performing it Friday for an audience in the park. The performance was more of a competition though.The winners get a cash prize of $12k. My mom makes alot of money, but it would be nice to have some of my own. But I mainly try to win for my group. Some are less fortunate than others. Like my bro Craig,who's also in the group,he really needs the money to help his family. I'm doing it for people like him.

I watched myslef in the mirror as I went over my grind moves and spins. I was working on perfecting the moves.Even though the performance wasn't a concert or anything, you never know what could happen. A talent scout could be watching!

Anyway, I was doing the routine for the last time when my music suddenly shut off. I turned to see a tall,brown-skinned boy.He was handsome .[That's when I remembered him. I'd forgetten him too. It was a boy named Trevor that went to my school. He went to our rival dance studio across town.We were friends until I told him I was gay - yes, I'm gay if you didn't know- and he just started acted weird. Then when I got a boyfriend,he found out.He would have nasty attitudes towards us, ending in arguments between me and him. One argument was really bad, he slapped me basically, ending our friendship. After that, he acted like he hated my guts and then he joined the rival to get back at me.*By seeing him in the flashback, it triggered many memories of him*]

As I looked at Trevor, he smirked at me .

"What do you want Trevor? " I asked, looking at him annoyed.

"Don't worry 'bout it," he said walking over to the mirror to get a closer look at himself,"&Call me Tj, like I told you to." he demanded.

I scoffed, "Whatever TREVOR, Just leave so I can finish practicing. " I rolled my eyes making my way to cut my music back on but he got in my way.

I tried to go around him hut he got in my way again "Move boy! " I yelled at him annoyed. I tried to move again and he did the same,"Ugh, I can't stand you! I hate you anyway so why are you here." I yelled angrily. He gave me a look. He seemed hurt but it quickly changed to a mean glare and he grabbed me roughly.

"Y'all gone lose Anyway," he chuckled angrily pulling me a little closer and put his grip on my arms tighter. His face went serious after a few seconds of staring at me .I got a little scared, "I came to warn you. They're coming for you. " he said in a whisper.

"What?! Who's coming for me?" I asked totally confused and unconvinced.

"Don't talk so loud! " he shushed me looking around all paranoid.
"I'm forreal Jacob. I heard them talking, a few guys from the dance studio I go to,they're gonna try to hurt you Friday night! " he whisper yelled to me.His eyes softened along with mine and his grip loosened on my arms.

"Wh-what? Why? " I asked him completely baffled.

He shook his head. "I don't know, but I heard them say something about you're the best dancer and how much they hate gay people. I guess they're mad because you always help your group win and the fact you're gay."
