This is after episode 15

Pipers pov: I cant believe what I've done I've lost Amy for good. I can't even imagine how hurt she is. I feel like an awful person, I feel hurt and sad I just need to dance. I go to studio 1 to dance out my emotions. I forgot Finn was still here. "Piper?,what's wrong" he says as he approaches me. He can clearly see I've been crying. I wipe my tears and take a deep breath "you and I can never be together" it breaks my heart to say that because all I want is to be with Finn and I can't, I just can't. Finn pulls me into the middle of the studio and walks over to his phone. Suddenly "leave the light on" by Tom walker comes on. I feel every step move through my body from turning to running into Finns arms for him to lift me it just flows. I can't imagine life without Finn he means everything to me but I can't hurt Amy anymore than I already have. We dance together like we have never done before, in this dance we don't hide our feelings we let them out. Finn pulls me into his arms just as the song ends. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt anyone" I say. Finn stays silent. I know I need to leave but I can't move I so badly want to stay wrapped in his arms where everything around me disappears except him. I finally pull away from him and grab my bag. I check my phone and I have a text from Riley. ~in the parking lot come down when your ready~. I almost forgot I'm staying at James and Riley's for a few weeks while my parents are on a cruise. I get into the back seat of Riley's car so she can't see my tear stained cheeks. "Hey piper how was dance" she says cheerfully "fine n-nothing special". I have to bite my tongue to stop myself from crying. I can't cry right now not until I'm alone. When we get back to their house I run straight to the room I'm staying in. I close the door and allow myself to shed a few silent tears before I go shower and get ready to go to bed. after I shower I put on pyjama shorts and a hoodie. I walk past James and Riley's room and listen at the door to make sure they're asleep. I don't hear anything so I assume They're asleep. I return to my room. I pull back the duvet on my bed and sit underneath the blankets. I think about everything from the first day I met Finn to our dance we shared in studio 1 only a few hours ago. I wish I had just said yes last year then I could be happy, Amy could be happy Finn could be happy, everyone would be happy but instead we are in this mess. I silently cry for hours. I've not only hurt so many people that I care about I've lost them too. Amy hates me and for good reason and I walked out on Finn.

Emily's pov: I am just cleaning up for the night so I walk into studio 1 to grab some papers but I see Finn and Piper. "You and I can never be together" Piper tells him. They start dancing this beautiful duet. Piper runs to Finn and he looks like he never wants to let her go. I have always known Piper needed Finn as much as Finn needed her but I guess they realized it too late. I walk back to my office too give them their privacy.

Finns pov: I'm laying in bed just staring at my ceiling. I have given up on trying to fall asleep as it's almost 4 in the morning. I can't stop thinking about Piper the pain in her eyes when she told me we could never be together. She was finally happy but then it got ruined again. I can't help but think if it wasn't for me she wouldn't be upset. I can't tell anyone about this I can't do that to Piper. I can try and talk to her but my expectations are low that she will reply.
F~Hey pipes~
P~hey Finn~
F~cant sleep?~
P~of course I can't~
F~I just want to be with you that's it that's all I want
P~that's all I want too but we just can't Finn
F~but why~
P~I can't hurt Amy anymore than I already have
F~I understand that, I'm sorry about everything I wish I could just take it all back me and Amy, and we could be happy~
P~I wish you could too But you can't, goodbye Finn~
F~goodbye Piper~

This goodbye feels different, it feels permanent. I think I just lost Piper for good, she means everything to me. My judgment was clouded when I asked out Amy but with Piper deep down I've always known my heart was with her.

The next day at rehearsals

Henry's pov: We are just warming up before dancemania rehearsals and I see Piper walk in and she looks likes she's been crying. I'm surprised that Amy doesn't seem to care but maybe it's because she just broke up with Finn and is still trying to figure that out. I decide to check in on Piper. I walk over to her, she is stretching in the far left corner away from everyone. "Hey Piper" I say as cheerfully as I can "hey Henry" she says in such a low voice it sounds like she's whispering. "Are you okay?"
"Ya I'm fine why wouldn't I be". I don't believe her but I think she wants to be left alone. I rejoin the group but I now see that Finn is entering the studio. He looks like he hasn't slept and he is missing a certain joy about him. He sits with the rest of us but I can't help but notice he keeps staring at Piper.

Amy's pov: I hate seeing Piper so upset even though she hurt me I can't just forget that we were best friends for almost 4 years. I have a feeling this can't go on much longer by looking at Finn. He looks miserable and Finn is always happy. I can't help but go back to seeing how destroyed Piper is she looks like she's been crying and Piper never cries unless she's really upset. I hate that I have to do this but I think I need to move on or at least forgive Piper.

Pipers pov: "Piper can you come here for a second?" Amy says. I immediately get up and walk over to her. "Look Amy I told Finn we couldn't be together and I'm so sorry that I let him kiss me" I blurt out "Piper I want to be friends again but I also see how miserable you are I have a feeling that has something to do with Finn". Amy like usual is 100% right "don't worry about that" I say "are you su-" "yes now can we put this in the past?"
"Ya I think I still need a bit of time to actually move on" Amy says "for sure take all the time you need!". For a second I'm happy again but when I turn around I see Finn staring at me which just reminds me of how sad I really am. My eyes meet his and for a second I feel my heart flutter but I have to tell myself that's over. After rehearsal I get on the bus and go straight to my room once I got home.

Riley's pov: I hear Piper get home but she doesn't say hi to me or James she just goes straight to her room. "That was weird, she always talks to us when she gets home" James says "ya, I'll go check on her but she's probably just tired". I walk upstairs and I knock on Pipers door "ya?" she says. I open the door and see her sitting on the floor with tears in her eyes. "Piper what's wrong" I ask her in concern. I sit next to her and give her a hug. "I don't want to talk about it" she says "is it about Amy?". I don't know why but I have a suspicion that somethings gone wrong between them. "Kinda but I really don't want to talk about it can I just be alone?" she asks me "of course but if you want to talk you know where to find me" I say as I leave her room. I open up my contacts on my phone and I see that I do have Finns number from when Piper used my phone to call him. I wait for him to answer and when he does I just start telling him what's going on
"hey it's Riley, I think you should call Piper she seems really sad and I know your her best friend and you can probably find out what's bothering her"
"O-okay I'll try calling her" he says.

Finns pov: I call Piper but she doesn't answer. I call her 3 more times before i give up but I can't just give up on Piper.

That took way too long to write but oh well I hope you enjoyed this and do you want a part 2?
