Chapter 1

10 years later

Colleen Carlton left Genoa City 10 years ago. She needed to leave Jt and his very successful career. She felt that she was holding him back from success.

Once Colleen got to New York she lived with her mom, Tracy. Colleen decided to start dancing again since it was the one thing that could never hurt her. Dance was all Colleen ever focused on, she didn't date and she didn't make any new friends.

Colleen Carlton became a great dancer and won almost all her competitions. For the first year after she left, she kept in touch with Lilly and Seirra but soon stopped because it was a reminder of Jt.

She graduated high school with high honours and was accepted into the best dance school in the world. She loved the way her life was going. In her last year of university she met a guy named Ben. Ben became her best friend and they hung out together all the time. One night Ben had tried to kiss her and she got scared. Colleen hadn't kissed anyone since Jt. But she soon realized that maybe she was in love with Ben and only then did she give their relationship a try. Their relationship started to grow.

After graduating university she decided to create her own dance school so that she could teach people how to dance. Although she still wanted to continue her dancing career she still gave her time to teach.

Colleen and Ben moved into an apartment together and things were getting pretty serious. Colleen still had her virginity, a part of her still wanted Jt to be her first. She, of course did not tell Ben this, instead she told him that she was well experienced. Ben always thought it was weird that they never slept together but he loved her and that was enough. Ben was not nervous about his and Colleen's first time together because he himself was also well experienced.

Colleen's work schedule was very busy, she taught her students Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and worked on her own career the rest of the week. Ben was a lawyer and sometimes left for a week at a time on a business trip. This was not a problem for their relationship because both of them are really busy.
