*knock knock*
I hear someone knocking on the door, so I climb out of bed and walk down stairs.
"What?"
I say irritated when I realise it's Dom. "Were supposed to be going to high park. Why aren't you ready?"
"Its 8am, do you guys ever actually go to work?"
I say sarcastically and he roles his eyes.
"We have today of because the director is out of town. Now, I suggest you go and get ready. Everyone is in the car."
He grins and i groan.
"Tell them to come in. Help yourself to a drink."
I mumble walking upstairs. After getting changed, I tie my hair into a ponytail and join everyone down stairs."Ready?"
Dom asks and I role my eyes.
"Yeah, I'm ready."
I say and maddie runs towards me. She holds open her arms, so I lift her into the air.
"Let's go."
I say walking out the door. While on the way to the park, the song 'just like fire' by p!nk came on the radio. Maddie begins to sing along and I'm completely gobsmacked by her talent. When the song ends, she looks around at the all the stares and smiles and blushes.
"Your very talented."
I say quietly to her and she smiles. "Thank you."
She smiles and I grin.
"My mom said you are teaching dance lessons. Could you teach me to ?!"
She says excitedly and I grin.
"You got the job!? Ofcourse you got the job, what am I saying. Congratulations!"
Dom says excitedly and I chuckle. "Ofcourse I can Maddie. What style would you like to study?"
"Ballet."
She grins and Matt chuckles.
"Well, I look forward to teaching you." I say and she grins. Just then, we arrive a this huge car park.
"Is there anywhere in particular people want to go?"
Matt asks to the whole group.
"I'd like to walk around Hillside gardens."
Kat says and em agrees.
"Uncle Matt, can we feed the ducks?" Maddie asks and waves the loaf of bread she is holding.
"Sure, I'll take you to Grenadier Pond. We can meet the group at Hillside gardens when were done, yeah?"
He suggests and they all nod.
"Can Lydia come with us?"
Maddie asks with begging eyes. Matt glances at me and I smile.
"Sure sweetie, I'll walk with you."
"Yayyyy!"
She cheers and starts walking.
"See you guys in a bit."
Matt says and I wave. We follow after Maddie in silence for a short 2 minutes before matt speaks.
"Tell me about yourself."
He says randomly and I I raise my eyebrows.
"Like what?"
I question and he thinks.
"Worst fears, favourite hobbies, activities you'd like to try. Go."
"Okay...my worst fears are 1.heights. It sounds stupid, because I've been on a plane lots. But being lifted 3ft of the floor? No thanks. And also Small spaces. I can't stand to go in an elevator. Super claustrophobic. 2.Dance and reading. To things that completely take my mind of the world and allow me to escape. I used to turn to drawing as an escape, but after Quinn...I just couldn't. So I taught myself to dance. 3.Ice skating. I've always loved the thought of gliding across the ice."
I sigh and he frowns.
"So why haven't you tried?"
He questions curiously.
"I can barely keep my footing on land, let alone ice. I'd rather save myself the pain and keep my dignity thanks." I chuckle and so does he.
"Shes alot like you, ya know?"
I nod towards Maddie.
"She is?" He asks surprised.
"Sure she is. Not only does she look like you, she has your energy. She seems so...joyful. Like she can beat anything in the world. Like she can do anything she puts her mind to. And she has an amazing sense of humor, a trait that must run in your family."
I smile and he chuckles.
"Well...thank you."
"Your turn!"
I say and he looks at me confused. "Fear,hobbies, activities. Go."
I grin at him and he thinks for a moment.
"Activity I'd like to try...get a tattoo? Does that count? I've always wanted a tattoo, never had the guts. Favourite hobbies...I don't really know. I guess acting is my favourite thing to do, but that's my career. Sports. Soccer and basketball particularly. Biggest fear? Food poisoning. I hate food poisoning. But for real? I guess losing a loved one. I can't imagine life without everybody who I have in it."
He says honestly and I smile sadly. "Guys! Can we go find Dom now?" Maddie asks and Matt nods, so we start our walk to Hillside gardens.
