"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.

First of all, if a feel like ANY characteristics of this book are base off of one of your ideas, feel free to take some credit or something, but it's still MY story, not yours. This is my first book and I don't want get in trouble with anyone. Also, please don't judge me TOO harshly, I just wanted to have some fun and write a book. Don't blame me if you find it a little cliché. I also wrote all of it on my iPad. (Tasha, Chloe, and Alexis are al based off my friends in real life, but Emalisa IS NOT based of me (they got it in their heads that she is)) Emalisa Uldweyna Ra'naa Truesa has had a VERY rough past. What happened, you'll have to read the book. Jaxon Udolf Samuel Tonalay, on the other hand, has a great life. His mother's a chef at a restaurant, which his family owns, his sister goes to the college where his dad's the head dean, and him and his younger twin siblings have amazing grades in school. What'll happen when Emalisa un expectantly falls on Jaxon? He becomes undeniably interested with and in her. Emalisa feels a connection too, but is scared to react on it. The fact that their friends undeniably are head over heels for another doesn't help their situation and provides endless things to tease one another about. So please do read. If you think I should add something more to the description, feel free to tell me, but you have to read the book first! ALSO ALSO ALSO!!!!!!!!!! It could possibly be triggering later on, so I don't suggest reading it if life's been particularly shitty to you about some things. SERIOUSLY!!!!!
