I am finally getting around to the story, and wanting to keep writing, but I just run out of time. So here's another chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.
I let out a deep breath. Corny saw me, and started coming towards me with a big smile on his face.
"Hi, Tracy. Come to be back on the show? We never filled that spot, and we saved it for you," said Corny.
"Thanks, Corny. I did want to be on the show, but I also had a question for you," I replied.
"Shoot."
"Well, I wanted to know how trustworthy Link is. He's always breaking my heart for some reason. I don't know when or how to trust him. It's like he wants to back me up, but he won't. It's starting to bug me, now."
"Well, you can trust Link when dancing, because I have never seen him misstep on a show before. He started messing up ever since you quit the show. I have been worried sick about both of you. I haven't heard hide nor hair of Link Larkin, and he hasn't missed a show ever. Anyway, I better get on with the show. I hope to see you and Link at 3."
"See you later."
"See you."
I was glad that was over. I just wanted to ask Corny if I could be on the show. That was the main reason for living, was dancing and singing on that show. I just couldn't wait to get back on the set and dance again. I wanted to be in Link's arms and feel safe again. He could always make things better for me, and everything would be clearer.
I finally found myself behind the scenes of the Corny Collins show. I saw a shining face come into my mirror after the fog of hairspray. He gave me wink, a famous wink, and smiled. I could tell that he had understood what had happened. I smiled back, but we had to continue with preparations as Corny told us we had five minutes to air.
That day was really excruciating as I watched Amber dancing with Link, even though he was my boyfriend. It was also awkward to see Link with a smile on his face, but it wasn't the smile he had given me earlier, it was a smile that someone would put on their face when they were in deep depression. I caught his eye briefly, and his smile became genuine for a fraction of a second before it became a fake smile.
After the show, Link came over to me, and kissed the top of my head. He whispered in my ear to meet him at the ice cream parlor. I shook my head, yes, and continued to talk with Penny.
Again, another short chapter, but I figured it was a good place to stop. Thank to everyone who has been reading my story, and giving me such great criticism on my story. I also didn't leave you on another cliff hanger again. I must be getting nicer.
