Authors Note - Ok people who may read this, a warning first this is totally
my own fantasy based loosely round dirty dancing so please don't yell at me
if I make any mistakes!! Umm.....I guess I better mention that it's a prequel
and it's kinda weird but I just watched the film for like the millionth
time and I felt inspire to write so I guess you guys are just gonna have to
suffer (if you read it of course!!)
Disclaimer – Don't own it, any of it except Christa but I guess that's obvious to everyone!!
Chapter 1
The luridly coloured huts glared at her daring her to break the silence that unnervingly shrouded the whole resort, she knew it wasn't really and that beneath the surface there was music, laughter and life but it didn't help her now. Kellerman's, a family place well that's all the rich people knew, that's all they cared about Christa thought. Seconds later she was admonishing herself, there was no point in being bitter she would deal with it, after all she always did. Christa took a deep breath and climbed the stairs leading to the staff cabins, she knew it wasn't going to be easy but she had no where else to go and all she wanted was a place to rest, recover and council her thoughts. Maybe this was a place where she could maybe not but by now she was so desperate for a break from just about everything she was willing to try it.
Billy saw her first, he only noticed her because he had come out of the melee of people dancing to get a break and to breath, he didn't recognise her at first 'but' Christa thought ' that was understandable she had changed since the last time they were all together, they had all changed'. It took Billy a while to recognise the thin figure in front of him with her long brown hair hiding half her face as Johnny's little sister, the one who had always tagged along and tried to join in whatever they were doing, the one who laughed and who was always happy. Tentatively he called out 'Christa??...Chris??' and ran down to meet her.
Christa smiled 'Billy' she called and ran up to him she gave him a hug and sighed; careful not to move her hair from it's carefully styled shape.
'It's been to long Chris' Billy said careful not to sound too condemning, 'you know you shouldn't have left like that, you nearly drove Johnny insane with worry.' Christa sighed again.
'I know Billy, I know but it was my mistake to make, and have done ok? Now can you tell me where Johnny is? I kinda want to see him' Billy smiled and replied.
'You know where Johnny will be he's dancing right now, with Penny I think they're still with the guests so your gonna hafta wait.' Christa looked at him strangely almost as though she wanted to tell him something but she then changed her mind.
'I'll wait' she said walked up to sit outside the cabin. Billy followed he was about to start asking her where she had gone when she disappeared last year when she continued speaking. 'Look Billy I'm tired I travelled a long way today, I'll stay here if you'll just tell me if you see Johnny before I do' Billy looked as though he was going to protest but Christa stopped him 'Seriously Billy I really wanna be alone' so Billy stood up and walked back to the dancers, he knew better than to argue with Christa when she was in this mood.
'Come in if you get cold' he called back but Christa just smiled. She waited half an hour before she heard sounds of people approaching her where she sat by the side of a cabin.
'Johnny, your not gonna believe this' she heard Billy call and she heard the sound of Johnny's voice demanding to know what it was. Suddenly she didn't feel tired any more, she didn't care that her legs hurt and she'd spent all day walking she got up and ran at the voices yelling 'Johnny, Johnny' as loud as she could, she ran towards him and ran straight into his arms as he said
'Chris? Is that you??' Johnny looked confused but he just stood there and held her for a while muttering incoherently about her. 'Where were you Chris?? I've been real worried' Christa smiled and said 'Johnny it doesn't matter I just had to find you, I just had to' she knew she wasn't making any sense but she didn't care. As Johnny released her he suddenly noticed her face. As she had been running towards him her hair had gone flying and it was now showing the ugly purple bruises all the way down the left side of her face.
'Christa, what the hell happened? Who did this to you? Look Chris you've got to tell me who the scumbag was' Tears began to fill Christa's eyes and she just leaned against Johnny and started to cry. Slowly Johnny hugged her and helped her walk to an empty, disused cabin, Billy followed looking slightly uncomfortable and stood by the door as Christa cried uncontrollably on her brother's shoulder. She could feel the tension in Johnny's body as he begged over and over again to tell him who he was, who the guy who had dared to hurt his little sister was. Christa just cried she didn't care any more she didn't have to be strong, she didn't have to worry about other people she just gave in to her own pain, aware of nothing except her and Johnny and the tears.
