I won second place in my schools story contest c: so I decided to post this as my first story on here… I have more stories… like over 20 but I'm still kinda shy to post them :c. But I like this one so I might continue it c: thanks for reading.
Tania has been dancing every since she was 10 years old, and she is still dancing today. But not her sister. She doesn't know why, she doesn't know what happened. Taye never told her why she all of a sudden stopped dancing. Out of the blue. Woke up in bed one morning, sat up and said "I'm not dancing ever again," then continued with her daily lifestyle. Except with the dancing.
"Well, dancing isn't important to me as much as it was before," Tania remembered Taye say those words before Taye had officially moved out of the house. But something in Taye's eyes… she was hiding something. Tania could feel it; they had always had a sisterly bond, some type of connection in between them, or at least Tania has.
Tania laid on her couch in her apartment. Her very own apartment, finally. She was much older now, 20 years old and still dancing. Still has that same sassy attitude, and her smart remarks. Her fashion sense and her humor. Her appearance has changed. She was tall and thin, her skin was a little lighter, slightly slanted green eyes, full lips, rosy cheeks. She had long black hair that went halfway down her back, and brown highlights. She is still Lil T. (childhood nickname and still is her nickname today.) The same person she was back then and she isn't changing for nobody. Not even Harry Styles. (She has a major crush on him.)
She worked as a professional choreographer; she made choreography for all different types of dance games. Especially Dance Central. She also taught hip-hop dance classes. Tania was a very generous person and always donated to charities, she was known for it as well as dancing. She was raised like that, even with the rough childhood she had. She grew up around poverty, violence, drugs, criminals. Her dad was abusive towards her mom. Taye always told her in whispers,
"It's gonna be okay,"
She was right, it did get better. One night after the father was done yelling at their mother, she decided enough was enough. The sister's mother woke them up and they all went to go live with their grandparents, from that point on life was good. They got the father in prison, their mother found a very good job, Tania and Taye went to better schools. That's when they got into dancing, their grandparents lived in a place where dancing was very, very common. It's where most of their family grew up, and their grandparents used to be dancers themselves, so did there mother, so basically dancing was in their blood. Now the grandparents and the mom tap dance most of the time. Taye was the first one too start of course because she was the oldest. She was into a different type of dancing, she liked to get low, she liked slow sexy routines, or she even liked to get down to some old school music. Eventually when Tania got old enough she learned from her sister and got her in the same music too. They formed a crew called Flash4wrd so they could compete against other dance crews around town. They became one of the best crews around.
Tania smiled at the good old memories of her and her sister going head to head in dance battles by themselves. Taye would always win, she would always steal the moves from her and do them a thousand times better, and the finishing pose would always be something more creative that hers. Tania loved it, she learned a lot from her sister. She learned to be confident, don't take crap from nobody, outgoing, smart, sociable.
Tania sat up on her couch and stared blankly at the flat screen TV.
"It's been 6 years… 6 long years," she whispered "without seeing my sister."
Taye had moved to California so she could be with her best friends Miss Aubrey and Emilia. Tania tried to convince her to stay here where family was but Taye already had her mind set to it. Once she had her decision made, there was no going back. Tania was the exact same way.
"I miss her, so darn much," Tania whispered again, a bridge of tears forming in her eyes.
No tears, Tania. You are so much stronger than that. A voice in her head spoke to her.
"But she's my sister…"
Tania snatched her cell phone from the clear glass coffee table in front of her and searched through her contacts for her sister's number. She was just in the desperate need to hear her voice. When she pressed dial on her phone and held it up to her ear it took a couple seconds for Taye to answer. The phone was answered shakily and a familiar voice answered.
"Hello?"
Tania almost dropped the phone at the sound of her voice. So sweet, nice, and soft. She missed it so much, even though she hasn't talked to her sister in about three days. Still.
"Taye, its T." Tania said with a smile on her face.
"Oh hey girl! How's it been?"
"Good, good, but listen I've done some thinking," Tania started as she played with a loose string on her grey sweatpants.
"Mhmm. What?"
"I think I'm gonna come over for a visit, you know? I haven't seen you-"
"In 5 years, I know. I miss you too. You really do need to come down here," Taye cut off Tania.
"Ye-Yeah. It would be nice, and to see Emilia and Aubs too," Tania smiled at the thought.
"Yeah! I'm bet they would be psyched just as much as I am. Actually…nah,"
Tania laughed and she could hear Taye laughing through the phone with her.
"So I'll come next week then,"
"Next week? Why not earlier?! I really wanna see ya, T," Taye complained through the phone.
"Well it's because of work and all. You know how much this job means to me, well maybe I could put in those 2 weeks off," Tania started off in a regular tone but then got softer as she carried on her sentence.
"Do that, I want you here in three days. A little bit before my birthday remember?"
"Oh-oh. Yeah I remember of course. I'll be there!" Obviously Tania was lying. She could tell Taye knew it too. But she shrugged it off and thought what it would be like to see her sister again after 6 long years.
"Awesome! Can't wait to see ya T! Muah!" Taye blew a kiss from the phone then hung up before giving Tania a chance to answer.
Tania didn't care, she just couldn't believe she was going California to see her sister. After 6 years.
Six long years.
Yeah, I am so gonna continue this! C:
