"Hi Sofia!" Henry said, smiling at the girl who he believed was perfect
"Oh, hey!" Sofia said, smirking, "I heard what happened between you and Jacquie! I'm so sorry."
"It's ok... it was my fault anyway!" Henry said, staring at the tall, ginger haired girl
"So I was thinking...! You know it's the duet competition today, I was wondering... because our duet is the best and we'll 100% win, we could go for a juice after?" Sofia asked, giving him a good fake smile, "It will take your mind of the whole breakup!"
"Ok, sure!" Henry said
"That's great! I was wondering.... if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here..." Sofia said, hugging him gently
"I know. Thank you for everything." Henry said, falling for the mischievous girl
"It's ok! Happy to help." Sofia said, kissing him just as Jacquie walked in the room
"Get a room." Jacquie said, rolling her eyes
"Jacquie!" Henry said
"Leave it Henry, you're obviously too busy with that bitch!" Jacquie said, walking past
"Ignore her. She's just jealous..." Sofia said, smirking to herself
"Mhm..." Henry said, feeling bad
"Alright A-Troupe, you have an hour off to chill before the duet auditions!" Emily said, smiling
"An hour? Wow!" Finn said, "Are you feeling alright?"
"I'm feeling perfectly fine, thank you!" Emily said, "I just have a lot of things to sort out."
"See you all in a hour!" Michelle said, waving to the A-Trouper's
"Hey Jack?" Jacquie said, angry about what she had just witnessed between Henry and Sofia
"Yeah, Jacquie?" Jack said, smiling
"I was wondering if you wanted to meet Romelia?" Jacquie said, smiling
"Really! Yes please!" Jack said, hugging Jacquie
"Ok, let's go." Jacquie said, smirking as she walked past Henry and Sofia
"Jacquie? Why is Jack with you?" Henry asked, confused and hurt
"It's really none of your business, but if you must know, it's about time Romie met her real father..." Jacquie said, smirking and walking out of the room
At The Emmerson Household:
"Where's your sister?" Jack asked, confused
"In Vancouver, with my mother, my mothers boyfriend and his two daughters." Jacquie said sighing
"They left you here?" Jack said
"Of course they did! My mother hated me ever since my brother... so when I had Romelia, she finally had an excuse to kick me out... then I lived with Henry for a bit... but then I moved back here..." Jacquie explained
"Oh nice..." Jack said, "Where is your dad?"
"At work, Romie's nanny is watching her at the moment, but I'll let her leave early." Jacquie said, walking out of the room, and coming back holding a small, browny blonde haired baby, that was dressed in a black and white polka dot sleeping suit and a matching headband
"Aww, she has my hair!" Jack said, utterly delighted, "How old is she now?"
"Six months!" Jacquie said, smiling, "Do you want to hold her?"
