My apologies to those who sent me messages about the story. I know I promised it to you two weeks ago but I had a major crisis that had to be taken care of. I hope this will keep you satisfied until the next chapter. It will be up soon!

Chapter 4

CPOV

Time heals all wounds.

Like clockwork the bruising turned to healing colours of yellow and brown and the burns scabbed over. My neck healed nicely and I could move comfortably, albeit with caution. About a week after the MTV incident Pacey left a message about a potential client who requested me as a dancer for a concert tour. The news was angelic music to my ears. I hadn't been on a tour before, but I knew that it meant no Pacey for the duration.

Elated at the news, I made my way to the dance studio, wanting to stretch out my unused muscles and get in a work out. I found a playlist with happy music, I couldn't keep the smile from my face. I pirrouted about the room and came up with little routines here and there, mostly basking in the good news. I was in the middle of a twirl excersise when I heard a door open.

-SLAM-

The noise caught me off guard and sent me straight to the floor on my ass. I heard a curse from somewhere and rushing foot steps.

"I am so sorry! Here let me help you." A rich male voice sounded. I turned to see the speaker was a tall man dressed in jeans and a t shirt. He bent down and held out his hand.

"I'm sorry to intrude, your manager said you would be here and I wanted to introduce myself."

I nodded, feeling irked at his interuption. I ignored his hand and gingerly pushed myself up. I stared at him expectantly. He placed his hands in his pocket and studied me.

"I'm Sam Uley, manager for The Pack, I assume Mr. Giggans told you about our interest in having you for our show?" I nodded, suddenly intrigued. This will be my chance to get away, don't screw up Claire.

"I've seen your work, you are extremely talented, we have several songs in the show in which we would like you to choreograph and perform dances in. Would you be interested in touring with us?" I nodded eagerly, smiling widely to show my enthusiasm. He flashed a grin of relief, He's quite handsome I couldn't help noticing.

"Excellent! I'll have the details faxed over to your manager right now. We leave in two days. The national tour is six months long, give or take. We still havent worked out the international tour schedule yet." My eyes bugged out of my head, if this worked in my favor I would be away from Pacey for over half a year, in plenty of time for my 18th birthday.

I held out my hand for a shake to show agreement. He grasped it firmly and looked me in the eye, "I can't tell you how pleased I am you agreed." With that he walked out. As soon as he was out the door I launched myself to cloud nine. I couldn't help jumping around in elation. Over six months of freedom, could it get any better?

I heard the car door open and looked to see Sam slide in.

"Well?" I asked impatiently. It felt like I'd been waiting for hours.

Sam chuckled and clicked in his seatbelt, "She's a pretty little thing, shame she can't talk."

"C'mon man you're killing me! did she agree!" I growled.

Sam meerly glanced at me and gave a brief nod. A smile nearly split my face in half. Over six months with the angel, and just a two day wait. Until then Ms. Ryan.
