I tell Alice what has happened and I jumped in my car. I look at the time 5:10pm. I head home and pack my things into my bags. I place my school gear in one bag, cheer leading stuff in another and all of my makeup. I also put most my clothes in one.
Hey where do you want me to meet you?? -Kayla
Who is this how did you get my number?? -Abby
This is Kayla, you gave it to me! -Kayla
Oh okay, I am working with my dancers so at the studio. -Abby
Okay see you then -Kayla
You may have to watch my girls dance is that okay with you. -Abby
Yeah sure. -Kayla
I start taking all of my bags into my car. When Alex calls me.
"Hey you were support to call me when you finished training."
"I am sorry, I have something more important to deal with."
"More important then me?"
"Yes, more important of you"
"Are you serious Kayla. I get it you do not like me anymore."
"I do."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you not text me after training?"
"My mum and sister were in an accident. My mum is in a coma and my sister is dead."
"I am so sorry Kayla"
"Okay talk to you later."
"Okay I am always here. Bye Babe."
"Bye, talk to you later" I hang up before he can say anything else and me cry more.
I get my shoes and put them into the car as well and I head to the worst place ever. Abby Lee Dance Company.

I pull into the parking lot and park in a spot. I turn the car off and get my phone. I get out and head towards the front door. I open the door and head to Gia.
"Where is Abby?"
"Um... Who are you?"
I walk into the den and into studio A.
"Aunt Abby, how terrible to see you."
"Get that attitude out of your ass." I roll my eyes. "Moms, girls in here."
"What about my solo practice." Says a girl with a bow in her hair.
"I will continue it after JoJo." She says as the girls and their moms walk in. "This is Kayla. She will be..."
"Seriously you are adding a new member again. Stop trying to replace our girls. It is so..."
"She is not on the team. She is my niece. She is staying with me because of family reasons. I am not here to argue with you, she does not need it."
"Okay, I am so sorry." Holly, Nia's mum looks at me. With a sad expression.
"Dismissed, Kayla go hang with the girls. Get to know them." She says looking at me. Quickly looking at a disappointed JoJo. "JoJo."
"Yes Miss Abby." She says as she looks back.
"Are you going to finish your solo or what?" JoJo smiles.

"So I am Maddie this is Kenzie, Nia, Kendall, Brynn, Kalani and JoJo." She says as she points to everyone.
"Hi I am Kayla." I say as I look to my phone.
"So do you dance?" Kalani asks.
"No, I cheer." I say as the girls all look at each other. "What, is there something wrong with that?"
"Abby hates people who cheer." Mackenzie says.
"She already hates me."
"Then why are you staying with her." Brynn says.
"Because, my mum is in a flipping coma and my sister is dead. Also my father can not be in the country as my mum." I say about to cry.
"I am so sorry. I did no mean to be mean." Kendall looks so sorry.
"It is okay. I am fine, I do not wanna talk about it okay?" I say looking at them.
"Pass me your phone, Kayla." Maddie says.
"Okay?"
"I put all of our numbers in if Miss Abby ever makes you mad just call one of us. We always answer and we will pick you up. Okay." I smile. Looking at Kalani and the other girls. Mabey this is not as bad as I thought.

I get off the bench after the girls go into do their group dance. I decide to go to another room and dance. I have never danced in my life unless you call a party dancing. I head into studio A and put on some music. I start to dance. Spin, spin, flip, front aerial, spin, flip, reach
I continue the dance until the music finishes and I strike a pose. The room suddenly erupts in claps. I look at the doorway and see all the girls and Aunt Abby clapping. I smile and look at the mums they all have shocked looks on there faces. I give a shy smile as I grab my phone off the dock. And head over to the door.
"Who taught you to dance like that?" JoJo asks.
"No one, I taught myself." I say shyly.
"Wow." Kenzie says in shock.
"Abby I knew you were bringing her in to replace our daughters."
"No she did not, I do not want to be on the team."
"Really?!"

"Yes Really I do not, want to be on this team I am only here because of family reasons and Abby is my legal guardian for awile. Okay?" I ask getting really annoyed.
"Okay, I am so sorry." I walk past them and walk into the den. I start to cry. Why is everything terrible happening to me. My phone starts to ring. Alex is trying to call me. I ignore it, I turn my phone off. I sit it down and head out side.
"Kayla, are you okay?" It is Maddie's and Kenzie's mum Melissa. I nod. "You know you can tell me anything."
"I am just over everything. My sister is dead, my mother in a coma and a father charged with domestic violence. Therefore I am stuck with her." I say pointing towards the hallway where she is. 
Melissa pulls me into a hug, I hug her back crying into her.
"It is going to be okay." She looks behind me and nods. "How about you go see the girls." I nod wipe away my tears and walk back towards the den.
All the girls run up and hug me. "What is up?" I ask them.
"We were talking..." Kenzie starts.
"And we would absolutely love for you to..." Jojo continues.
"Come to our sleepover this weekend." Kalani finishes and everyone nods.
"I would love to."

Everyone starts to leave when I see Aunt Abby.
"Hey are you ready to go Kay?" She asks.
"Kay, you have not called me that since well I was four." I say looking at her.
"Yeah, so let's go. We will need to get dinner on our way home." she says.
I walk out and jump into my car. We had decided on Starbucks. We order our food and take it back to her mansion. She helps me take my stuff up yo my room. We have dinner and go to sleep.
