A fine china blessing

Chapter 11

Blessing's point of view

Today Chris is taking me to competition. I was supposed to ride the bus with the other dancers but Chris didn't wake me up early enough. I made the JR competition team last month and he's never taken me. It's usually Kae. She's become a dance mom. So right now he's tripping over my outfit because apparently to him in wearing a bra and booty shorts, but to dances I'm wearing a costume. It's a black leather looking bandeau top and black leather looking dance shorts, along with a red and black magician cape and hat. My solo's first then the group dance. That costume is less revealing

"Go change."

"No, can we go?"

"No, I'm not taking your ass anywhere until you change."

"Chris this is my costume! I can't freaking change I was supposed to be there 5 minutes ago, your lucky the competition place is only 20 minutes away! Can we go?" I ask

"No, go change."

The only reason Kae isn't taking me is because she's sick. I'm already Late for my first Dance competition ever. I have a jazz solo."

"Kae!!!!!!" I scream upstairs.

She comes out wrapped in a blanket.

"Both of you shut up! Chris take her to her dance competition right fucking now! I've had it. That's what a dancer wears! I'm not gonna say this again! Take her right now!"

He sucks his teeth.

"Come on!" he holds my dance bag and costume.

"Bye Kae. feel better."

"Bye babes, thanks. Good luck." she waddles back to the the room, and I go with Chris.

When we get to the place, I leave Chris and basically run to our dressing room.

"Blessing you have 10 minutes, until your solo! Go hair and make up..now!" my Dance teacher yells out to me, so I do and I finish with barely 2 minutes before I go on. When I go on, in the front row I see Dad, Grandma, Uncle Ty, King, and Chyna. I really wish Kae was here.

"Okay next up we have Blessing, entry number 112, performing New magic."

I go out and take my position. When the music starts I perform my dance. I have to say I did amazing. My faces were amazing and my energy. When I get off stage the other members of the team hug me and we rush back to the room to prepare for the group number. The routine is like puppets. So we all are dressed like old marionettes and there's one girl that's stands on a box holding a bunch of strings that we eventually clip on to our sleeves discretely.

"Please welcome to the stage Armoria dance studio performing plastic and strings."

We go through the number with barely any flaws, but every now in then I see spacing issues so the last move is for the puppet master to just cut all the strings at once and we all aerial forward. I go In for my aerial, and mid way I drop, right onto my head. Normally I'd get back up and keep going but it hurt so bad it blurred my vision. It's as if everyone breaks character my team mates come over to me, along with the judges the last person I see is my dad pushing through everybody.

Chris's point of view.

So I'm watching the performance and it's like wow.. these girls probably train really hard for this. The dance really looks amazing and well put together you can tell. So the end of the dance starts and they all do this no handed flip/cartwheel thing and Blessing doesn't make it all the way over. She ends up landing on her head. At first I'm thinking is she okay and then she doesn't get up, and even the judges rush up to check her out. I get up to get on the stage and don't security guy stops me
