I'm sat in bed scrolling through Netflix in an attempt to find a film to watch, when I get a text from James:
"Goodnight Riley, sleep well, hope you're feeling better now. Always here if you need to talk about anything ;)"
I can't help but smile at the text, it's nice to know that James is checking up on me, I really appreciated what he did earlier.
I'm not sure what to think about James, half of me wants to trust him, he looked after me when I was drugged and he helped me when I was having a breakdown; but the other half of me doesn't want to trust him at all, he may have looked after me when I was drugged, but was he the one who drugged me? I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to fully trust James, but at least after today I am comfortable being in the same room as him.
I reply to James' message:
"I'm feeling better now, thanks for checking up on me."
That's a nice simple reply, I'm glad that I feel like I can text him and be around him. This time last night, I could barely even think about him, never mind actually be comfortable with seeing him, I guess it's funny how everything can change so quickly.
Pressing play on, "The Notebook," I pull my covers up to just below my face, and relax as I fall asleep to Allie and Noah's love story.

I walk into studio A and see Chloe stretching at the bar. "Hey Chloe, how are you feeling about the performance tonight?" I ask her.
I was so happy when Chloe and I were both chosen to be in A-troupe. We're both very technical dancers and so our styles really mould well together. She's a really nice person and I'm glad to have a familiar face on this new team.
"I'm really nervous actually, this is the first proper dance on A-troupe, I just hope I don't screw it up for everyone." She tells me.
She's always so stressed about messing up dances for other people, it's one of the things I like most about Chloe, she's selfless.
