I woke up too early this morning, by seven I was dressed and ready to leave my flat.

I wore a pair of workout leggings, a sports bra and a Lazer Kitty shirt, so that I could go to the dance studio's for a couple of hours. After driving for about twenty minutes I was there and had set my bags down in the empty room.

I set my music up and started dancing as soon as I could, using Nina - Ed Sheeran as my soundtrack. I had shut my eyes so I hadn't noticed the door being opened by Matt the manager of this place. He was standing there with his under 14's class and they were all staring at me.

"Oh damn, sorry are you in this room?" I stumbled forward to my stuff and started to get ready to leave.

"No no no!" Matt held his hand out to stop me, "Stay, this isn't our room but I heard you were here and I wanted to show the kids what they could grow up to be like." He smiled and I did an awkward smile back to the children at the door.

"Oh, okay." I didn't know what to say.

"Do you want to come and sit in on our class? You can help me teach some of them." Matt looked genuinely excited like he wanted me there, so I agreed as nobody else wanted to see me today anyway.

Their dance hall was a lot bigger than mine, I guess there was more of them, but there was only one wall of mirrors, the rest was normal.

"So what song are you working on?" I asked one of the older looking girls.

"We started one to the new Taylor Swift song yesterday so I think we're carrying on with that."

"Okay guys, and girls, we can keep dancing to Taylor today so get into your positions and lets start by going through what we already know." Matt clapped his hands and motioned for me to go and stand next to him. I watched everyone shuffle around until they were perfectly in place.

He started the music and they all immediately came alive. One of the boys, who seemed incredibly shy, was smashing it. They were so full of power and drive, I kind of admired it.

Once they were done Matt and I gave them some feedback and they started to work on the routine for themselves.

"I wish I was that driven when I was their age." I said as he handed me a drink.

"I think you were," He paused, "I remember the first time your mum brought you here you couldn't wait to go home, but on the sixth or seventh session you were asking me for extra lessons." He laughed at my face.

"You remember that?"

"Of course I do! You're one of the best dancers I've ever taught Carly."

"oh, thanks." 

It's funny to think he can remember me from about ten years ago, I can hardly remember myself from five years ago.

"I was meaning to ask you by the way," Matt started the music again before he carried on, "I've had this offer to send some of my dancers to an audition. Now I know you're not technically one of my dancers, but I would like to give you the opportunity."

"Sure, what's it for?" I agreed, since I needed something to focus on.

"I haven't been told everything yet but I know the auditions are on Tuesday and I think you should really try for it. It could be good for a future career."

"Okay, thanks." I smiled and hugged him like I did when I was little.

"I'll send you the details as soon as I can, and let me know how it goes." 

"I will," I promise, "I'm gonna have to go now or my parking ticket will run out." 

I said goodbye to the class then I left and ran down the stairs to get to my car on time, I did, thankfully.

As I got into my seat I wondered how Zayn was doing, Niall had been texting me but didn't say much about him.

How is Zayn? Honestly? 

I send him a quick text and hope he wont spare my feelings when he replies.

-

Once I got home I checked my phone and sure enough, had a text from Niall.

Honestly? He's acting okay. Idk if it's a show but he doesn't like to talk about you. You ok? 

I sent a quick 'thanks' and 'I'm fine' before hopping in the shower.

Once I was out, about ten minutes later since I wasn't in a shower mood, I noticed a missed call and voice mail.

Hi Carly, I hope you're home cause I'm coming over, you're not fine and we need to talk face to face for once.

I ran to my room to get changed as soon as Niall's message stopped playing and emerged just in time to answer the door for him.

"You okay?" He asked the same question again.

I shook my head and wrapped my arms around him for comfort.

"I knew it." He sighed and invited himself in. "How's life?"

"Kinda good, kinda shit." I shrugged.

"Same, tell me about you're day and I'll tell you mine?" I, for some reason, agreed and started to tell him about my day.

"...And then he said he has a dancing gig I could audition for so he's sending me the details as soon as possible and the audition's on Tuesday. After that I just started thinking about him again and that's when I text you."

"Yeah thought so," He smiled, "But that's great news about the audition!"

"I guess it is." His infectious smile got to me an I tried to hide it, "So tell me about your day."

"Well we had another tour rehearsal, and another moody Zayn, but I also saw my ex girlfriend so that was awkward. She didn't really even acknowledge me but I don't know what I was expecting." He looked a bit embarrassed.

"Don't worry about that, she's not worth your time. You have millions of girls who love you and admire you." I rubbed his shoulder a bit.

A text soon came through on my phone and it was from Matt about the audition.

Tuesday at 6pm, Block theater and for a new band.. You'll probably like them but I haven't been told a name x

I sent a thanks and told Niall the news.

"That's completely awesome," He said with a huge fake smile and I could tell he had bad news, "But I think that band is our support act for the tour."

My eyes widened as I let out the longest sigh I could.

"Are you for real."

"One hundred percent, but you should still do it! Don't let Zayn stop you, you won't even have to talk to him."

"Yes. I will." I said though gritted teeth, "I need to think about it."

A lot.
