Living My Life

Chapter 18

|Anastasia pov|

For the past few weeks I've been hanging out with Jp Cappelletty aka rook. Currently we're just good friends, and we're both okay with that. "Jp,have you ever practiced dancing?" Jp whipped his head towards me within seconds. "No, I have no rhythm it's almost as if I got myself two left feet." Rook does have rhythm he plays the drums on a daily basis, that takes skill and good coordination. "Hey, you should give yourself more credit. C'mon you're a great drummer which by the way takes a lot of skill and coordination. Maybe you're not the greatest at dancing, but you're a good drummer."

"Anastasia,thanks that means a lot to me". "Anytime. Next week I have a dance audition and I just wanted to ask if you could come with me? I mean you don't have to if you don't want to because I know you're not into it and..." I don't know why I got all nervous just by asking a simple question, I basically blabbered on. "Of course I will go. I wanna see how you dance,maybe I'll learn a few moves." We both burst out laughing at the joke.

I must have fallen asleep sometime after my conversation with jp. This pillow feels really warm and comfy at the same time. I wonder what brand makes this pillow, I looked down to see none other then jp's chest right beneath me. I can't help but feel safe being around jp right now.

As I was cautiously moving to get up,someone's cellphone rings. I'm pretty sure it isn't mine. I quietly walked over to get it anyways before it disturbed him. I looked at the screen to see the caller ID: Lauren Shepard. I decided not to answer and let it go to voicemail. Not even a minute later Lauren messaged him saying, "Hey, Cappeletty are you still coming through tonight? All the guys are here." I wasn't aware that he'd made plans, he's the one that invited me over. I should go before he wakes up.

"Brey, I love how you're always punctual. If I'm ever in an emergency I know that I can count on you."

"Thanks ana. Well let's get started, we're here till 10:30." Brey and I practiced are butts off. We both want to make this first cut for the audition next week, this audition is going to get us one step closer to our dream. All the blood sweat and tears will finally be worth something.

"Brey I think that's enough for tonight. I'll catch you later." I didn't even get to walk through the door before brey stopped me,"Anastasia, are you alright? You seemed a bit distracted while we were practicing." I will admit that I was distracted part way through the dance,but I didn't think he would've noticed. "Yes, I was a bit distracted, but I caught back at your pace." He just wouldn't let it go, "Do you want to talk about it?" "Brey, it's nothing serious. I'm alright I just need to get some sleep and I'll be good." I left before he asked more questions.

After high school I was suppose to go to nursing school. My parents were very adamant on me following their path. Back then I wanted to please my parents and actually follow their advice, and while I did follow their advice I felt I wasn't equipped for nursing school, I later dropped out. Now I'm just out here following my heart and chasing after my dream. As for my parents, I haven't heard from them in years, they didn't believe in me chasing after "a worthless dream" as they liked to call it. One day I hope they'll be happy for me. It's hard not having your family supporting you when they've been your backbone since day one. I feel like in life you have to live for yourself, and once in a while be a little selfish.

Sometimes you just got to be selfish..

2 minutes after I posted my selfie on IG in my dance attire, my phone started blowing up with notifications. I'm not the most confident person, so I'm surprised I even get more than two likes. A notification with an IG tag popped up on my phone: My WCW @AnaVille 👌. I slid my finger to the right to unlock my phone, only to see it was jp that made me his wcw. I decided to reply with: Thanks Rook 🙉.

IG has a lot of attention seekers, you know the ones that post captions like: "Just got my hair done." The picture isn't even showing their hair, it's focused on their breast. They get upset when they get the attention of horny men. By doing stuff like that you'll get the wrong attention.
