A/N major AU but I just had to post this. Btw I changed all of their last names, don't hate but since it's AU I wanted to make it a little more original you know? Also instead of Dan Jenny has a little sister. ENJOY! ^_^
"Do you really have to leave?" Nikkei asked again for the hundredth time
Jenny Reed glanced over at her baby sister she green eyes pleading with her blue ones, "You know this is my only chance, I would take you with me if I could you know that." Nikkei looked down at her hands before grabbing Jenny's Pointe shoes and placing them gently in her bag zipping the case shut. "There you don't want to forget those."
Smiling slightly Jenny pulled her into a hug squeezing her in till she squealed, "I can't breathe Jen," Jenny pulled back smiling down at her sister, "come visit me?"
"Only if you want me to."
"Don't worry, when I get enough money I'll send you a ticket alright."
Nikkei flutter clapped her hands acting every bit of her thirteen years; Jenny rolled her eyes before hearing a honk outside, "well my taxi is here." Grabbing her train ticket and suitcase in one hand, her black tote purse over her shoulder, she grabbed her sister's hand in the other as they made their way down stairs and outside.
The taxi driver got out taking the suitcase from the girl's hands and putting it into the trunk, "we have to go now ma'am if you want to make your train." He said then got back into the car waiting for Jenny to follow.
Jenny turned to her sister "don't get into any trouble while I'm gone 'kay." She said pulling her in for another hug.
"Moi? Trouble? Pssh," Jenny smiled placing a kiss on her forehead.
"I'll be seeing you."
Nikkei hugged her tightly closing her eyes and whispering, "I'll be seeing you."
Jenny pulled back and walked over to the taxi and got in rolling the window down as soon as she shut the door, "I'll see you at Christmas." The cab driver pulled away from her house, Jenny heard her sister yell, "Don't get a big head when you become famous!" Jenny threw her head back and laughed rolling the window up, it wasn't likely that she would get a big head.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are you going to do when you get to New York?" The cab driver asked looking in the review mirror, looking at her momentarily.
"Try and get into one of the biggest performing arts schools in the world… or at least in America, well one of them anyways."
"Sounds like a big dream, well good luck with that."
Jenny sighed looking out the window "thanks."
The rest of the way to the train station was quiet; upon arriving there Jenny paid the driver thanking him and giving him his money. Rolling her suitcase down to the lower level of the station Jenny saw her train, people already boarding it, rushing over she hopped on dragging her suitcase behind her as she went in till she found a seat. After shoving her bag in front of the seat across from her, she flopped down in the seat next to the window.
I stared out of the train window as it started to roll away, I was finally going to the greatest, ok maybe not the greatest, dance school in the country first let me tell you how it started.
My name is Jenny Reed I'm eighteen years old and have been dying to get out of my slow nonexistent town where cows are its main priority. My mom had been a dancer when she was younger she use to take me the ballets in the city whenever she could. When I was six I asked her if she could teach me how to dance like the 'pretty ladies' as I use to call them, of course she had said yes and soon it begun, the training, the exercises and the crying because my feet hurt, but I didn't give up no I just got right back up and started again. Of course their where times when I wanted to just throw myself to the ground and cry…but I didn't. When I was eight our mom passed away from a tumor around her heart, I still kept at the practices but without my mom to help I had to rely on DVDs and books. Soon I got good enough to get an audition to Julliard School of Performing Arts so naturally I packed my bags with everything in it; got a ticket to New York and here I am on the ten o'clock.
I don't look like you average ballerina, my hair is a white blonde and layered in a harsh tone falling in long strands. With my bright blue eyes rimmed with black eyeliner and black eye shadow, silver to soften the look, I'm 5'8 and I was definitely pushing the whole height thing.
My little sister Nikkei looks like me from when I was younger, except for the eyes. Her eyes being a bright green instead of blue, she took after our mother and me in the passion for dancing. I had started to teach her the basics before I had to leave promising her that I would teach her how to dance when I got back, but until then I left her with my DVD's and books I had collected over the years.
As for our father, after mom's death he became a drunk not the type that abused his children, I wouldn't have let Nikkei stay there alone if he was. No he was the type that got drunk then passed out; stumbling through the front door at God knows what hour of the morning, before passing out on the couch.
"Is this seat taken?"
I looked up at the stranger standing in front of me, a lady with strawberry curls and dark blue eyes a kind smile on her face, I shook my head no, "have a seat." I said gesturing to the seat in front of me.
"Thanks," she said before sitting down in the seat next to me, "I'm Kari by the way."
"Jenny."
Without another thought I took my iPod touch out of my jacket pocket shoving the buds into my ears and turning it on, I wasn't trying to be rude but the butterflies where starting to set in making my palms sweat with nervousness, I needed to relax, maybe even get a few hours of sleep before I got there.
I turned the little devise on, closing my eyes as the music poured from the tiny speakers.
