Alors On Danse - TNS Fanfiction

getting through the ropes.

Noah POV

This was bad. Piper almost failed to land her aerial. It was herself that kept throwing her off. Her mind chooses to take in the bad words only and not the positivity. It's sad to be honest.

We came 4th in the contemporary and you can probably guess why. This was the most jeopardising thing in the history of putting our team in utter danger. It isn't the first time and it won't be the last. Although I'm leaving, I know TNS. I know every situation likely to happen. It doesn't even surprise me that much.

It was the intervention, so we were all just taking a break. As I went around, I saw so many couples within the teams. It reminded me of.. me and richelle. What are we? I honestly don't know. I need to tell her that she is the one I have chosen to do the duet with as my final decision.

I couldn't find her anywhere though.. well I couldn't until I saw her and Ozzy talking. He had his hand on the table and she reached out, grabbing it gently. I- I'm shocked. I know we were just friends with benefits but this has really gotten bad.

I wish it was me. Holding her hand and smiling with her. Although, I had Summer slowly warming up to me and I was back on mutual terms with Jacquie so I can't lose that. Not yet anyways.

The intervention was soon over and we resumed to the competition, going back to the stage and dressing areas for the next dances.

I was already ready and here waiting for Richelle. She was still emotionally stiff as far as I knew, but my feelings for all these girls were literally tearing me to pieces.

Soon, I was pacing up and down. These nerves and emotions had my head spinning around like crazy. Maybe I'm crazy?! Liking all three is confusing!

Eventually, Richelle had arrived and I pulled her closer by the arm immediately. "Richelle. We're doing the duet." She nodded and stood beside me, appearing to be already dressed in her costume.

We were called on so we went to the stage and took our places. This was it.. my chance to dance with her. We had a mini chat beforehand although I doubt it changed anything. Nothing in fact. I had to fix this once and for all.

I knew Summer had figured she had been replaced. She was in the TNS uniform standing in the wings, watching us with a neutral facial expression. I feel bad but my mind is so focused on Richelle how can I feel THAT guilty..

Summer POV

He knew I had been watching. This is so fucked up. Noah had been messing with me and I don't want to be played around with! Even having the guts to look at me whilst dancing with Richelle, who does he think he is?!

They came off stage, smiling as if not a thing had changed. "Good job." I said bluntly. Noah went in to hug me, I couldn't do it. "Hug me when you don't purposely play with my feelings, dick." After that, I walked off. Guess I was done with being treated like trash. How was I so oblivious to this? Literally, all he knows how to do is dance and manipulate. It's heart breaking to know he doesn't really care who he hurts as long as he gets who he wants. That's what he wants. The best for HIMSELF.

I went and got changed into my costume for the group dance. Once I had, I ran into the halls until I reached a dead end with a door. I pressed my back against the door and sat down slowly. This was doing my head in. Tears were falling down my cheeks and all i could do was wipe them off before anyone saw. Nobody should see me cry. It can't happen. Emotional stuff is not something I like to share to everyone.. being alone is the best way to get rid of all the expressed emotions pouring out of my system.

All the walls came crumbling. Maybe he achieved his goal, to hurt me. If it was, he succeeded. No need to rub it in my face now. It's over now. I'm so done with it all. They don't even need me anyway.

I buried my head into my knees which were up against my chest, hugging them tightly. My hair covered my face and the tears continued to flow.

Suddenly, I felt a hand on my arm and someone sat next to me. "Summer." They said. It was Richelle. "What." I replied, not lifting my head. Definitely not Richelle could see me cry.

"Please come back, we have to go on soon."
"I will, don't worry."
"What's up..?"
"Noah i-if y-you m-must know."
"He played me too. I know how you feel."

I slowly turned my head and looked at her. Confused. She explained how he had only used her for sex but only now falls in love with her. She didn't want that like I did.

"Boys can be such bastards sometimes, am I right?" I nodded, giggling like she was. There's something about Richelle that I kind of admire in a way. Like, I don't hate her - I just think she hates me. "Yeah." She smiled, not taking her eyes off me. That's so cute, awh.

"Listen, I'm sorry for being kinda mean. Truth is, you're so sweet and open - I'm only experiencing being open now." Honestly, no idea what to reply with. Usually I'm not the one she opens up to.. or anyone.?

"You're sweet in your own way. I admire you. Sorry if that sounds a bit much." "No, no.. I find it cute that you really think that of me." The frown on my face, slowly turned into a small smile. We talked for a bit and soon got up. "Lets go?" "Lets go." She took my hand and we went back to the wings, luckily just in time. Guess Noah isn't the only one who likes her.

As we were called on stage, all 10 of us walked on with smiles. If it was going to be our last dance, we had to make it special. Very special. The music started playing and we started dancing. The ropes were the big surprises of our routine. It was amazing, flying through the air off the stage. Everything was just.. from a different point of view. It was nice.

After the dance, we bowed and walked off stage. Waiting for the judges to tally up the scores and annouce the winners of Regionals was super intense. AcroNation and Encore wanted this just as bad. But don't we all.

This has been stressful. I started pacing but accidentally bumped into Jacquie. "Sorry." She just sighed "It's okay." Then she resumed her walk and went off. Odd. Usually she would just glare and walk off.

"Can Encore, TheNextStep and AcroNation please take the stage?" Oh this is it. This will determine if we won and are going to Nationals. We NEED to win this. It's essential. All three teams made their way to the stage, standing togther anxiously. "Good Luck." I mouthed to Amy and she mouthed "Thanks, you too." which made me smile as we hadn't interacted in so long.

"And the winners of the 19th Annual Regionals are.....

....The Next Step!"
