Just a Simple Touch

34

I was in such deep thought about every thing that just happened I barely remember driving to the studio. I am tracing my memories back to the disaster Houston created, but I mainly feel bad for August who didn't deserve what happened to him. Tomorrow I will go back and apologize for everything that happened to him hopefully he wouldn't mind seeing me again.

When I pulled into a parking space I shut off my car and just sat in silence, I need to make sure I was put together before I see Maddie I don't feel like explaining what just happened. I know what will make me feel better, I pull out my phone and scroll through my phone searching for the specific contact number.

"Hello?" The familiar voice says through the phone

I immediately smile at the voice I missed dearly "Hola mama"

"Valentina my love ! How are you I miss you so much ! I would have called sooner but I just figured you have been so busy with your schooling and training I didn't want to bother" my mother says

She missed out the fact that I have also been sharing some time with Houston for the past few days but if I told my mother that she would have disapproved in a heart beat. If she senses any type of distraction there will be hell.

"Mama you are never a bother to me I will always make time for you" 

"Oh mija this is why I miss you so much, now tell me how is the school how is ballet going?! I need details!" My mother says excitedly

I laugh at her excitement "The school is really nice the classes are manageable and ballet is amazing" I admit

"That's so good to hear! Is ballet challenging you enough?" My mother asked

I nodded my head although my mother obviously couldn't see me "Oh yes it is and don't get me started with with my teacher Ms.Reign she's really strict"

"Good Valentina you need a stern teacher that means she cares about how she is training her students"

"Yes mama I agree"

"So did you make any friends ? Are you friends with your'e roommate?"

"Yes mama me and Emma are really good friends and we are also good friends with a girl named Maddie she's in the ballet program with me" I make sure to leave out Houston although he is no longer a friend of mine and honestly he never was

"I am so happy to hear that everything is going so well" My mom beams

Yea so well.. My mom and I talked for another ten minutes and I honestly felt a lot better. I missed my mother especially after what had just happened she would have never allowed me to make this type of mess. My mother and I eventually got off the phone with each other and before getting out my car I made sure I looked presentable and made my way into the studio.

When I walked inside the studio I spotted Maddie doing multiply leaps which were very clean I have to say.

"Hey Maddie" I call out

When she lands she faces me and smiled "Your late"

"Oh um yeah my bad" I say awkwardly

Maddie laughs and shrugs "It's cool"

I place my dance bag against the studio mirror and begin to take off my seats pants and sweater 

"I was thinking we can work on the piece we have to preform by the end of this week" I say standing in the middle of the floor and begin to stretch 

Maddie nodded her head "Agreed I can't seem to get my leg straight enough on that last leap" 

"What ? I just saw it you nailed it" I say truthfully
