"Ever since we came back from Regionals, you have been acting weird. And with everything you've been through, it's okay to feel this way. It's okay to not be okay, Blakely."
-
Blakely came back from Regionals victorious. The Next Step won Regionals and Blakely placed first with every dance she performed. She even got crowed Miss Absolute Dance. So, this means that The Next Step will be representing region 8 at Nationals.

And of course, that was not the only win for Blakely. She got away from her abusive father and she got together with Noah. Well, kind of...

But even though all of those positive things happened, she's still carrying a lot of mental scars around. 

What will happen if her past keeps haunting her? What will happen if the pressure of Nationals gets too much? And what will she do when she's not feeling okay, but is too scared to tell anyone? What will happen to the relationship she has with Davis if she shuts her out completely? And what about Jacquie? Noah says he loves her, but why isn't he believing anything she says? What will happen when she meets someone new and is handed a very intriguing opportunity?

Follow Blakely on her journey to Nationals. I won't be easy. It will be filled with emotions of hurt, heartbreak, loneliness, but also with joy, love and happiness. 
Blakely is a very strong girl, at least that's what everyone keeps telling her. But even strong people have a breaking point.All Rights Reserved

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE] If you confessed your feelings to your best friend and he shot you down, would you feel broken? What if he used your feelings against you and played a terrible prank involving underneath the bleachers, football players, slime, and cheerleaders? What would you do if three years later, you still feel exactly the same for him? What would you do if he now had deep feelings for you? Meet Harper. Harper has a troubled past, but she never let it get in her way of living life to the fullest. She was a wild child, and the bravest person you'd ever meet. However, her confidence was crushed one day by the guy that meant the most to her. She changed herself completely because of how badly he crushed and humiliated her. For three long years, she tried everything to get over him, but it never worked. What will she do when she discovers that he likes her too? Meet Noah. Noah regrets the day he decided to pull a prank on Harper using her feelings for him against her. At the time, he just wanted his football buddies to like him and wasn't interested in getting into a relationship yet. Since then, however, he's grown to like her... maybe even love her. For a couple years or so, he's watched as she dates boy after boy and break their hearts like he broke hers. All he wants is for Harper to be his, but when he remembers what he did, he can never ask her. Until one fateful day... What will happen when Noah finally shares how he feels? What happens when Noah's brother comes to town and secrets of his and Harper's past unfold? How will Harper react when she realizes how many lies Noah has told and how many secrets he keeps? Will Noah be able to keep saying she's his? Or will he lose her? (My first story so please be kind and give me constructive criticism. This is copyright, so please don't steal my plot.)

The Bright Side of Darkness [Draft] by KeiraKnox1

**Romance Reads 2024 Winner in "Friends and Family"!** Worlds collide when a formerly overweight teen befriends a blinded football player and is forced to confront her growing feelings for the boy who lost it all. --- Tay Statin had always thought a perfect high school career was his God-given right. He had it all; perfect grades, scholarships to big-name schools, and football skills. Everything someone like him needs in Tennessee. But all that is stripped away when a car accident takes away his brother and his chances at a Division I scholarship. Although his body healed, his vision hasn't. He might never play football again, and the prospect has left him bitter and unhappy. Emori Hagen was "the fat girl" all her life. She grew accustomed to people laughing at her. But, with the help of her determination, she lost all the weight and finally achieved the body of her dreams. The only thing left to remind her of her past is the aching feeling every time she eats an apple instead of a cookie. What Emori isn't expecting on her return to school is to find a broken Tay Statin who no longer smiles, rarely speaks, and doesn't care about anything or anyone around him. He's just existing. But the pain in his eyes is something she understands all too well. Can Emori help him find the hope he has lost? - -- Started: April 5th, 2020 Completed(Unedited): August 30th, 2021 Undergoing a new round of edits offline Word count: 73,951 Character banners by @avadel Cover by @Shreya_VA

A Home for Jane by sarahabenitez

I'm not here to write a romance with a happy ending, I'm writing to prove life isn't always perfect, in most cases it never is, especially when it comes to love. This is to prove that no matter how hard life gets, don't give up, don't push people away, stand up and show whoever or what ever it is that you aren't going to let them or it hinder who you are. Life is precious and we need to live it as we want to be, not as other people want us to be. Jane has been an outcast her entire life, she was orphaned at a young age and grew up without a family. When she turned 11, the Mavery's adopted her, for the past 6 years of her life she's been stuck living in their attic. They don't treat her like part of the family. Her stuck up step-mother Ana only ever points out her flaws, and Neal her step-father doesn't stop her. You'd think that would be enough to drive anyone over the edge, but now add the little 'brats' that torment her constantly. Cortlyn and Oscar. Cortlyn has always been jealous of Jane and her friendship with Adam, the boy next door. Oscar actually likes having another sister, but he always sides with his twin, he'd never admit to it. And Adam? He loves Jane, like loves, loves Jane, but of course she's completely clueless, after all it is her best friend...her only friend. But the real trouble starts when Jane finally stands up for her self, what's this crazy family going to do to her next? Like I said before life isn't perfect, you never know what's going to be thrown your way, neither does Jane.

I Can't Cope (COMPLETED) by bechloebeale

'Why does everything keep reminding me of the past? I don't want a repeat and I certainly don't want to be reminded. It hurts too much. One more thing and I might just be pushed over the edge...' Everything always looks fine from the outside. Riley Raymond is a part of A Troupe, which, after winning Nationals, are now invited to the most prestigious competitions in the country, heading to Internationals and have the strongest team The Next Step has ever seen. Riley's relationship with her boyfriend James couldn't be better and, although they're not without their arguments, she knows her sister Emily cares about her. But the past can't be changed. Riley isn't the girl she was 4 years ago - events and people have certainly made sure of that. But she wouldn't show her weaknesses now, she knows letting people in can only get you hurt. And she's not the only one with problems. At the same time, Emily is struggling to cope on her own at home, when everyone is out, getting on with their lives. Restricted to the confinement of their house, she's slowly going slightly crazy. But she doesn't exactly have anyone to talk to - Hunter left the studio ages ago, and Stephanie and Giselle haven't been around in months. Being the people they are, both Riley and Emily try and keep their struggles to themselves - it's just easier that way. But surely everything can't stay hidden forever... Surely there's only so much someone can take before things start getting serious... Fanfiction based on the Canadian show The Next Step. Therefore I don't own these characters! (Set around the start of season 3) Due to the mention of abuse, suicide and self-harm (amongst other issues), this book is rated Mature.

"Tell me" He breathed out. "Wh-what?" I stuttered, staring into his eyes. Ugh, this man didn't know how much his little actions are affecting me. "N-No, I just wanted to have a dance with you. I do owe you one" "Tell me that you're jealous" He leaned down. Our face were inches gap. His chest rising and his eyes looking down at mine. His lips were about to touch mine. I knew what he wanted and I wanted it as well. My heart thumped frantically against my chest. "Teo, what if I'm really jealous? Wh-" He pressed his lips against mine before I could finish. As soon as his lips met mine I felt a shock flow through my whole body. My heart pounded in my chest and my knees got weaker.
