"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.

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.
