Dance Academy Fanfic – What Life Holds After Third Year
Chapter 1: All of My Mistakes
Tara walked into the flat, a bunch of groceries in bags hung on both of her arms, she was genuinely exhausted, her hair was a mess because of the slight breeze and all the walking and the weather was humid outside so she was dying to jump into the shower.
She let the door slam shut and set all the food shopping bags on the kitchen worktop and sighed, this is what life after third year was like for her, and she didn't for a second imagine it this way, infact the life she imagined for herself was completely the opposite. She should be travelling the world, performing in countless productions, meeting new people, choreographers and directors, creating a name for herself in the big wide world like saskia had and most importantly she should have a contract with the company. That was her life! That was how it was supposed to be after third year, all that hard work, private rehearsal time with Miss Raine was supposed to pay off!
..but instead she had ended up here, in a flat living a very normal life, she was injured and she didn't even know if she could ever dance again like she had used to!
Of course she was still living in the city and she was close to the academy and she did some dance classes for the other students when she could but it wasn't the life tara imagined…it was far from it!
She loved living with kat, the fact that her and kat spent more time together now was great, but all of her other friends had moved on and living their dreams, Abigail and Ollie had contracts with the company, always on their feet too busy to meet up most of the time. Ben was away starring in all these amazing productions all over the place and Christian was finally happy doing something he truly loved, teaching all the children dance in Sammy's memorial studio, even Kat was happy auditioning for roles and really getting into the acting life but Tara wasn't satisfied like the rest, she felt as if though she had let down her self the most and she didn't know how to come back from that.
Also now having time to think and not having anything to do, Tara's mind wondered into her three years in the academy and all that had happened specially everything with Christian and herself and then him and kat and then her and ben. It was all soo much to think about and now looking back to it all she felt that she was the one that drove Christian away, by wanting everything to always be perfect, for him to WANT her dream and yet look where he had ended up and where she had ended up.
She slumped onto the sofa in her bathrobe after that long shower, tara being the farm girl that she is, also missed her family a lot, she loved living in the city but when she had nothing to do and a lot of time to think, she thought about them a lot.
She was shaken from all of these thoughts whirling around her head when Kat's voice came through the door. "….T…hey your home…" Tara smiled a small sad smile, "well…where else would I be.." Kat looked at her and then the shopping which just sat on the kitchen counter and scrunched up her face and smiled, she didn't say anything because she knew Tara was right….more than anything she felt guilty about everything that happened to Tara and her time with Christian and lately she didn't have the slightest clue as to what to say to make her feel better.
Tara got up from the sofa, "….I think ….I'm going to have a nap.." she mumbled and walked into one of the bedrooms, Kat shook her head, clueless as to what to say or what to do, instead she grabbed her phone and went through her contacts….her finger hovered over the name…..
….Christian….the only person she could think of calling but should Kat really call him?!...after everything that had happened?...
