Hip hop meets ballet

Chapter 16

Okay so you probably all hate me... Hey I don't blame you but I have a valid reason why I haven't updated! I promise that if I could have I would have but I was kinda in a different country. No joke I just spent the last few weeks on a school trip to Japan! The trip was great thanks for asking. But I'm so sorry I couldn't update. On better news today we reached 10.4K reads! What the heck! You guys are crazy. Enough of the boring authors note and let's get to the chapter your all dying to read am I right?

Question of the day- How did you find this book?

*Callen's POV*

"Mum I'm so sorry you had to end up this way, I wish I could have done something. But I couldn't.. I couldn't do anything to save you!" I sob trying my best not to cry infront of mum.

Mum was connected to a thousand chords it looked like but I knew the chords were vital in her survival. I was still in shock of the past days events. I still don't believe Eva did what she did. Why? That's the one thing I don't understand. Why would she save my mum by giving up a part of her? Also I can't believe I kissed her. I don't know what's worse; that Elliot saw what happened or that I didn't care that he did because I wanted Eva's to never leave mine.

Life is so fucked up at the moment I don't know what to think anymore. Shutting mums hospital door behind me I sat down on a nearby seat and pulled out my phone to text Josh to tell him I couldn't make the competition today. Moments later my text tone went off signalling he replied.

'Mate we are already down a member we can't lose you too -J' It read.

My thoughts immediately flickered to Eva.

'I'm sorry but I can't make it today. You will have to do the best you can without us. Sorry! -C' I quickly typed back and pressed send.

'Whatever mate, the crew ain't happy though' he replied almost instantly.

I locked my phone and put it back in my pocket. Pia skipped past my chair and sat down at the side of mums hospital bed and starts playing with some of her barbie dolls I didn't even know she had with her. I smile at her and she smiles before going back to her game.

Walking down the hospital hallway you really realise how lucky you are to be alive and healthy. It really makes me not take my life for granted when so many are trying to hold on for theirs just a little bit longer.

When I reach Eva's room I smile when I see her peacefully sleeping. I'm falling head over heels for her and its increasing more and more every time I'm with her. She doesn't even realise how much it hurt me to see her and Elliot getting all cuddly and cozy when I went to her house.

She stirs in her sleep but then settles in a more comfortable position. I wonder what's she dreaming about. Maybe she's a bird soaring high in the sky, or a mermaid laying on the rocky shore of the ocean. I have a lot of people in my life that aren't positive and I'm so worried that she thinks I'm a good person, when I'm not.

She really is a saint sent from heaven above. I'm not sure what I believe in, but I know whoever is up there sent Eva down as an angel. She truly is.

I don't deserve her. I really don't. She deserves someone like Elliot. Someone who doesn't smoke and drink, and doesn't go clubbing to get a girl out of his head. Someone who will always be focused on her and only her. I can't promise her that.

Suddenly my phone buzzes. Why would Josh message me again? Shouldn't the competition be starting any minute?

'The clocks ticking Callen. You need to make your decision as soon as possible. Get back to me straight away. Thankyou -Alexandra'

I completely forgot about that. I need to tell Eva. Oh she's going to be so angry and dissapointed. Well I'm not going to be taking the deal anyway so it doesn't matter really. But I still should tell her.

I look at my phone for a few more seconds before clicking the camera app and taking a quick photo of Eva sleeping. I want to remember this moment forever, and I hope the adrenaline and passion I feel towards her never stops. Because I love it. And I really hope she does too.
