Back on campus, in my tiny room and XL twin bed. I had quit from the Cherry Bombs, due to minor dance issues but Skylar asked me to stay on as a choreographer, working along side Brandon Hanes, just perfect. Ashlee was happy to have me back on the Cheer team but just as complicated I was about which team I wanted to be on, so was my relationships and my place in the 4 2 crew.

I have not been to rehearsals nor the competition since my dad quit for me but 4 2 crew has always been my dream and I was not about to give that up because of a guy, because of what Brandon and I did.

I walked into rehearsal and the crew turned towards me causing Brandon to turn around to see where everyone was looking, looking at me.

I stood awkwardly looking at the crew "I'm so sorry for interrupting but Brandon, can I speak to you for a second?"

He crossed his arms and replied quickly "I'm busy with a closed rehearsal, which means only members allowed." he said bluntly.

"Bro, don't be stupid. Go speak to her." Dinno said and we went to speak outside, so he could smoke.

He lit his cigarette and blew out smoke before speaking "Why are you here? You're not part of 4 2 crew anymore."

"I never actually quit."

"Yeah but I don't want to get shot or face your dad again."

"He won't shoot you and it's my fault. I should have never kissed you or slept with you, it was extremely inappropriate because you're in charge and I'm just one of your dancers. So I'm really sorry and now the media is on your case and your careers and image is ruined and it's all your fault because I went to a red carpet event with you." I rambled.

He stood there calmly, smoking "Did you also break into my apartment and slip into my bed?" What? "Are you done blaming yourself because I was involved as well, I kissed you first and I took you back to my place. Plus, my career is perfectly fine and so is yours, actually this kind of helped your career."

"So now I'm a clout chaser?"

He bursted out laughing "No." but then he stopped and thought about it "Wait, are you?" He asked seriously.

"No." Am I? It was not my intention but I gained a lot of Instagram followers after that.

"Well okay then. Also that was just a one night stand. So you can do whatever you want to with your little college boy, I promise I won't harass him or feel rejected."

"Are you breaking up with me?" What did I just say? Oh my lord, that's not what I meant. Why did I say that.

"I wasn't aware that we were dating." Oh, Shit. Damn, Kelly. Why you got to be so stupid.

"That's not what I meant."

He just looked at me and raised an eyebrow while I panicked "Okay?"

"I meant, like the way you were saying your sentence was like we were breaking up, not that we were dating but like- you know what I mean."

"I do and I also get that you're young and your parents are still very a part of your life. You are amazing and beautiful and a talented dancer but on the first day I told you that we're professional and I still have to present myself as professional, so your spot is still available but you need to understand that the media will be involved." Brandon said and I hugged him "Thank you, you won't regret it." I kissed his cheek before walking but into the studio but Brandon did not move "Are you coming? We still have rehearsal." I asked and he just smiled, killing his cigarette before walking into the studio.
