Note: Hi guys! I just wanted to start off by saying that this is the first time I am writing for Dirty Dancing. I usually don't write for any movies, but I love Dirty Dancing so much that I decided to give it a try. I'm super busy these days but I definitely try to update as often as possible. Here's just the prologue to get you guys started, I hope it's interesting so far! X.
Prologue
Baby couldn't believe she was heading back to the Kellerman's again. Four years after her memorable visit, she was going back again. This time, without her parents though. Her two best college friends, Sally and Dana had somehow found information about the Kellerman's and decided that it would be the perfect place for the three of them to go for vacation. Baby simply couldn't say no. Max, or mister Kellerman as Baby'd called him in the past, was excited to see Baby come again and had offered her not only a discount, but also one of the best cottages. Sally and Dana had been thrilled, and Baby knew she would've been too. If it hadn't been for Johnny. There was no way Johnny would still be at Kellerman's as he'd lost his job after Baby first vacation there. But Kellerman's without Johnny was something that scared Baby. It had been three years since she'd heard anything of Johnny, and Kellerman's had always been special in her head. That was where they'd met, where they'd fallen in love… It was where she'd left her heart, not expecting to ever find it back again. And now she was heading back to Kellerman's. Sally and Dana didn't know the story about what had happened there. But it was all in Baby's mind as if it had happened last week.
"Me? I'm scared of everything! I'm scared of what I saw. I'm scared of what I did, who I am, I'm scared of walking out of here and never feeling for the rest of my life the way I feel when I'm with you!"
Telling him how she felt, making love to him… It had all felt so natural. And now she was going back. In twenty minutes she would be at the Kellerman's again, reminiscing probably even more than she already did. If it hadn't been for Dana and Sally next to her, she would've sighed deeply now.
Both Sally and Dana weren't aware of the existence of Johnny Castle. She had met them about a year after her last visit to the Kellerman's and despite her mind drifting off to Johnny every now and then, Baby had never felt the urge to tell her friends about him; they probably wouldn't understand anyway.
Despite Baby's dreams of saving the world, she had gone to college, as her father had wanted her to. The freedom and confidence Johnny had given her that summer had slowly made place again for insecurity and the urge to be what people expected her to be. Returning to Kellerman's without Johnny there felt like returning home to a house that wasn't hers; it just didn't fit.
