2 DAYS AFTER BROOKE AND KENDALL QUIT THE TEAM
My ceiling fan kicked up speed as I sat on my bed. It went around and around in a circle. My ALDC ribbons hung up on the wall, untouched.
Never to be touched again.
My mom just came into my room and explained that something happened. There were only four of us left, but Leslie did something to Ashton and he quit, too.
Then Abby got mad at Leslie for driving Ashton away and kicked Payton off the team.
Then, there were two.
Abby decided to make 'Steam Heat' a duet for the two of us. However, Paige kept messing up the funky walk part in the fun section, so Abby decided to pull the number.
She told Paige to come watch the competition, but however I would be doing an old solo from two weeks before. You know, the one where I placed seventh? Yes, Abby decided to give me a second shot.
But then, I forgot the number, so Abby decided to dismiss us. Paige and I ended up having a sleepover that night and missing school, but who really cared anyway.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that this all happened yesterday.
There was no dance rehearsal today, so today I had a free day. Paige already went home, so I decided to paint my nails coral and watch TV. Then, my mom called us down for dinner.
She had chicken and rice soup from a can. It was good, but it wasn't homemade so it wasn't as delicious. Since I wanted to be by myself today, I went right back upstairs.
The phone rang, but I was too tired to get it. I heard my mom yell, "Hello? This is the Lukasiaks!"
I heard her talking for about twenty minutes until she finally said, "Goodbye." She sounded serious and a little upset. Oh well, must have been something to do with her sick cousin.
That was when I heard a knocking at the door. "Chloe? It's mom."
I ran over and opened it right up. She pulled me over to my bed and sat me down. She looked upset. I was scared as to what she was going to say because I didn't want anything bad to happen.
"Chloe, you are an amazing dancer, we all know that."
I nodded. I wondered why my mom was saying this stuff, but I just shrugged it off. Until all of a sudden, I came up with a theory.
What if I was kicked off the team?
"Chloe, no mother could ever be prouder of their child. You have been amazing, but now, your dance career at the Abby Lee Dance Company has ended. "
This couldn't have been happening. Was it because there was only two of us left and that Abby couldn't get another team that had such a connection like us girls?
"Mom, why?" I asked.
"Chloe, please understand that Abby was never to throw you off the team," my mother told me. I nodded, tears rolling down my cheeks.
"There was only you and Paige left. Abby didn't want to find another team like the original girls. So, she decided to end the team and send you girls off to a different studio."
I was going to a different studio? I nodded, shocked. I didn't want to leave the ALDC. It was my home away from home. I couldn't bear to leave the place forever.
"Chloe, Dance Moms is done. You and Paige will be attending The Dance Dream which is twenty minutes away from here. I am so sorry baby."
I was crying. I couldn't hold in my tears.
"It's okay, Mom," I whispered. "Nothing will ever be the same again."
*******
Short chapter, but I kind of wanted it to be that way. Paige's POV and an epilogue, then we are done!
