Ophelia's POV
I've thought about Demi's questions a lot. It's been a week since she asked. She texts me daily, but I'm not ready to answer. I think she understands from what she texts me. Tonight we end our summer tour and we are in LA. Yes, it worked out for the better this way. I know Demi's back here, in her house, or recording, or I don't know. Something.
I'm currently eating a snack of apple slices. Gina refused to let me perform until I finished them. She did in fact make me a new Leo. Now I have to work really hard for it to be too loose too. I changed the whole silks routine. Including the song. I used a mashup I made of my favorite songs. None of them are Demi's. I checked. I really liked Demi and her sister, but I feel like I don't belong there. However, I don't belong here either. Maybe after this show I should take my earnings and head back to Tennessee. I guess I will decide before the shows over.
There once again is a 'special guest' in the audience. Sadly, I know exactly who it is. Demi. I try to stretch out the best I can, and go to mount Ella. I'll miss Ella, Gypsy, and the rest of the animals. I'll miss Gina, the closet thing to a 'mom' I have right now. But, do I stay here, where I don't belong, or head home?Demi's POV
It's been a week, and I'm dying to hear from Ophelia. I've been texting nonstop, but I understand her being distant. She needs to make this decision on her own. She's only 17, and has months till she'll be 18. Management has informed me I will have to foster her if I want to take her with me. Which is fine by me. From what I've learned from her and Gina, the circus seamstress, she only has her grandparents right now. I looked in to schooling, rather online or a tutor, but Gina informed me she graduated before she started traveling with them. She was homeschooled, just like me.
The ringleader, Max, lead me into the big top and into the stage to give me a "tour" before the show. I brought Marissa, my best friend, with me. "?Hola, como estas?" [btw I'm working on my Spanish so please do correct me] "Hola. You speak Spanish?" I said questioning the young girl. "I'm learning online. I think it adds to my personal worth." She explains to me. "Wanna meet Ella and the horses? I was just going out to get them ready." Ophelia asks very politely. I go to answer her when Marissa screams and grabs me following Ophelia. She's such a little kid.
"How are you, honestly?" I quietly question Ophelia as Marissa plays the horses. "Good, you?" She responds far too quickly for my liking. She said it as though rehearsed. Second nature. I give her a don't lie to me look, to which she responds with a shrug. She walks over to Marissa and explains she must go line up for parade. Marissa pouts, but nonetheless walks back with me to find our seats. Since this was the end of the season it was 4 hours instead of 2, and each performer did at least two acts. Ophelia did a new silks routine, I was a little hurt seeing as she change the song to ones that weren't mine, however it was very good. She also did an elephant routine with Ella, and her and another girl worked the horses. She did very well, until she fell on her way out, and as she looked at me, I knew she couldn't get up on her own.
