Someone you loved - RUEL

Finals (pt 2)

Ruels pov

The solo section was about to start, we had around 30 minutes until Laiya had her solo and maybe 15 before Emmas. The announcer once again ran onto the stage like he had done before every category. 

"Hello everyone we have one final category before we find out the winners of this years International dance Competition! The last category is Solo but there is something special about these solos, part of the rules for this section was that the solos had to be made by the dancers themselves and had to be about something in their life. There was no rules on style of dance as long as it conveys a personal story. Now with the background of these dances I would love to Introduce you to our first dancer Maya with breathing!" He walked off the stage and the audience clapped per usual 

Laiyas pov

Emma had just began her dance meaning I had 15 minutes before mine, the stress building up inside of me. Especially since the announcer explained that it was a self made solo with a personal back story. I began stretching before going on stage as I had a slight bit of acro and I was not going to pull anything on stage, no fucking way. 

"Laiya I am going into the audience to watch you alright?" Emma said walking to the stairs which lead to the chairs 

"Alright" I replied giving her a hug

"You will do amazing I promise" she said squeezing my hand

"Thanks I love you!" 

Emmas pov

I left the stage and walked to the seats where everyone was I was congratulated by everyone especially my mum who was in tears 

"How is she?" asked one of Laiyas friend I think her names Sunday or something

"Very nervous cause the dance in about-" Katie hit my hand and I made eye contact with Ruel 

"oh erm ahh — never mind you will see" I chuckled looking over at Katie who face palmed herself 

I looked back over at Ruel who was on his phone texting someone

I thought the way that Emma cut herself off after looking at me was strange but I decided to take as little notice as possible and instead enjoy the show. I decided to text Laiya since she was nervous, I unsure wether she would have her phone or not.

Emma had been gone for around 5 minutes and my phone beeped I picked it up imagining to see a text from my mum but instead it was from Ruel.

Little does he know that I have multiple reasons to worry the major one being him in the audience. Even the little love you at the end just made me nerves worse though I know he was just trying to be nice.
