"Everyone, I know we're all upset with Davis leaving but we all need to focus on the bigger picture here - Internationals!" Emily said
"Emily! Of course they're gonna be upset, Davis was their best friend - is their best friend! I say, we should give them a few hours of, to chill, get a juice!" Michelle said, "Come to the office, now!", leading Emily away to the office
"You see, this is where me and you differ! Dancing will take their mind of it!" Emily said, confidently
"Do they look like in the dancing mood?" Michelle said, pointing over to where the A-Troupe were sitting, "Look, Jacquie is crying, that's her sister! Imagine having both of your siblings taken away from you. First her brother dies, now her mother takes her sister away!"
"I guess... you're right..." Emily said, hugging Michelle, then leaving the office
"Right A-Troupe. Me and Michelle have decided to give you guys the last few hours of rehearsal of as you're all probably upset about Davis. We can all hang out at the Juice Bar. If you guys want?" Emily said
"Sure." Kingston said, and most of A-Troupe nodded along
"I guess it'll be good to take are mind of it by hanging out." Finn said, taking Piper's hand
"Um... do you mind if I go home early? I need to see Romelia.. her minder needs to go somewhere..." Jacquie said, lying
"Oh... yeah, of course you can!" Michelle said, smiling as everyone else walked to the Juice Bar
"Jacquie!" Henry said
"What?" Jacquie said
"You know my mum doesn't mind watching Romie - why did you lie?" Henry asked, slightly confused
"I just want to see her! Is that a crime!?" Jacquie asked, raising her voice slightly
"No, of course not! But you're allowed to have fun. Anyway, Romie really likes Jean!" Henry said
"I just want to see my daughter. Stop telling me what to do and how to look after her! SHE'S NOT YOURS!" Jacquie shouted
"I know that! But I treat her like she is! I love her!" Henry said
"Yeah, right you do!" Jacquie said, angrily
"Jacquie!" Henry said, grabbing onto her arm, making her tense up
"Just let me go!" Jacquie
"Where are you going?" Henry asked
"None of your business!" Jacquie said
"I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW! ARE YOU GONNA GO RUNNING BACK TO JACK - JUST BECAUSE HE'S THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER OF ROMELIA DOESN'T MEAN HE'S A GOOD ONE!" Henry shouted
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT! I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU WERE I ALWAYS GO! YOU KNOW WHAT?I'M GONNA MOVE BACK IN WITH MY DAD - SINCE HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT ME! AND JUST SO YOU KNOW ROMELIA IS COMING WITH ME BECAUSE SHE IS MINE AND I'M DOING A FINE JOB OF BRINGING HER UP SO STUFF YOU HENRY!" Jacquie shouted, running out of the room, leaving Henry sitting there, alone
"Hey Henry, we were all wondering where you got too! Noah said, walking closer, "Wait are you crying?"
"Yeah... me and Jacquie had a fight...it was all my fault" Henry said
"Over what?" Noah questioned
"Romie... I might have told her how to look after her... on more than one occasion and... asked where she was going...!" Henry admitted
"Oh..." Noah said, patting his shoulder gently
"I always mess things up! Henry said, miserably, "I don't want to be her ex again!"
"Mmm... why don't you go over to her house and apologise?" Noah suggested
"Good idea! Thanks bro!" Henry said, leaving studio A, thinking about only two things, Jacquie and Romie
