Chapter 9- Felix
I was just walking out of the locker room after practice was over when my phone went off signaling that I had a text message.
From: Felix
Hey baby girl As we speak, oh sorry, as I type I am in the air
I should be landing at Seattle International in about a little over an hour, then since
You are making me fly in a small death-mobile to Port Angeles I should land, if
I survive that small plane around10:15, you better be there to pick me up.
Luv F
Laughing slightly to myself I quickly sent him a reply before heading off to my locker
I will be there, and I will have you know that small planes are very safe
Luv B
I hadn't even finished taking my books out when he had replied
From: Felix
Sure they are, do me a favor and tell that to Richie Valance. Okay love ya phone going off in 10, 9, 8, 7…
I was still chuckling to myself when I felt myself get wrapped up into a big bear hug.
"What's so funny little cuz" Emmett shouted into my ear, while still constructing my air supply
"Well how do you expect me to answer when I can't breathe, you big dork" I replied using up the last of my oxygen.
"Sorry, I guess I just don't know my own strength" he replied shrugging it off.
I rolled my eyes and said "Felix is going to land around 10:15 so I'm cutting out of here to go and fetch him, I just can't wait!"
"Oh can I go, please please please" Alice shouted as she appeared out of thin air and was now bouncing on her toes.
Chuckling "Sure, you can all come if you want to, we were just going to go and hang out and catch up, but it would be the perfect time for you guys to meet him, we are going to be busy with practice so this might be your only shot."
Before I knew it, it was already 9:30, normally I should have left at 9 but since I was sitting in my first class of the day then I was forced to leave latter, but that was not a problem since I had a need for speed and I could make it.
We decided that all the girls would go with me in my new car and the boys will fallow us in Em's Jeep.
We all hoped in our cars and speed off, I don't know about the boys but us girls had the time of our life, even though the sun wasn't out it wasn't raining so we had the top down, singing every song that came onto the radio while dancing, at one point the car decided to dance with us as it surved from side to side. I'm sure it was a funny sight to behold, and the boys made sure to laugh at us once we arrived at the little airstrip Port Angeles called an air port.
We had barely been waiting on the small air strip for less than ten minutes, when we saw the small air craft carrier coming in for a landing. Another three minute wait and a hand full of people were departing in all different directions. Once I saw Felix I couldn't help myself I took off in a full sprint and jumped at him, I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist while he hugged me around my waist and spun me around.
When he finally set me back on my feet he slowly brought his hand up and wiped a few stray tears that I hadn't even known I shed, softly cupped my face in between his hand and kissed my forehead, while whispering, "It's good to see you baby girl"
I giggled while pulling away, "You're only a couple days older than me you big goof ball!"
I grabbed his hand and pulled him toward where my new friends and Edward waited.
"Hey guy's this is Felix, Felix these are my friends: Alice, Jasper, Emmett he's my cousin, Rosalie, and then there's Edward, right now he's not really a friend, I'm kind of mad at him but yeah, so let's go eat I'm starving!" After everyone exchanged hellos we all hopped off towards the parking lot. Felix got into the car with me and the girls and we sped off to the nearest pizza parlor.
Soon it felt like we had all been close friends for years, we were all laughing, and sharing stories while eating. After we had finished eating Alice brought up the subject of the dance competition.
"So where exactly in France is this competition being held at and I need dates and times so that I can start preparing for everything."
We all laughed at her eagerness before Felix quickly composed himself to answer all of our questions.
"Well we will be performing in Rennes France, it is on the far west side of France, it is a two day competition, September 17 and 18 the first day is for Groups and duets and the second day is for solos and then on the 19 they are announcing all the awards and winners and since it is international competition, they take the first five place winners from other competitions happening all around, to go to Verona in a couple months to compete against each other. The competition is being held at the opera house and that's it I believe, did I answer all of you questions?"
"What about times?" Alice questioned
"Well I know check in is actually the day before on the 16th, from there they will let us know what times we have to practice on stage and when we perform, it is around a 22 hour flight with one stop for more fuel, so we will have to leave on the 15th."
"Hold on wait a minute, the 15th as in a Tuesday-Saturday, if we leave on Sunday I should be back at school on Tuesday since Monday I will be too tired to even get out of bed, that mean a whole week away from school!" I basically shouted.
"Since when have you cared about school? But some people from the dance company are also going to be there and Liz (The director) is having the private tutor go, so you won't fall behind or anything." Felix stated as if that simple response, held the answers to salving world hunger.
"You know I don't give a shit about school you dumb ass, but if I miss a week of school then I miss a week of practices and I miss a performance, which means that the dumb ass we know as Charlie has every right to take my car away!" I held my head in my hands while trying to think things thru, Charlie didn't even know about the competition in France yet.
Everyone stayed quiet for a little while thinking when Felix responded "The whole point of the dance team, which reminds me I have a surprise for you, but back to the topic (I groaned loudly, to which he chuckled, Felix knew that I hated surprise's) the point was to keep you out of trouble, well you will still be dancing, you will still be performing and you will still be doing your school work and we can even have Liz call and talk to him and tell him that you never act up when it comes to competitions, he'll have to let you go."
"Okay first of all that just might work, second off I'm not looking for his permission I'll be there either way, it's just that I just got my baby (car) and I don't want her to be taken away quite yet, and last, take the surprise back, I don't want it." I stated as firmly as I could.
"Oh I believe that you are going to want this one" he stated with a slight grin as he pulled out my missing charm bracelet.
"OH MY GOWD, where did you find it" I squealed as I lunged myself over the table to hug him, we must have been quite a sight to behold since everyone at our table started to laugh.
"Oh that is so gorges let me see it" shouted Alice as she pulled it from my grasp.
"That is really beautiful Bella, what do the charms stand for?" Rosalie questioned.
"Well that is my dance charm bracelet, when we were passing thru San Antonio Texas we found this gorges jewelry shop 'James Avery' and we found that are only located in San Antonio but that they have a website and ship worldwide, so Felix bought me my bracelet with my first couple of charms, and since then whenever we had a memorable experience with dance he would order me a charm to commemorate it."
"I have never taken it off since I got it, except to have them sadder new charms on, even when I'm competing I have it taped down on my wrist, and then right before I was going to leave I noticed it was missing, I freaked out looking every ware for it, but it was nowhere, (turning to face Felix) Where did you find it?"
"I didn't find it, but I was told it was stuck between the bed and the head board." He raised both eyebrows and stared at me.
"Impossible, I turned my room upside down looking for it." I stated firmly
"I never said it was your bed, you hoskey"( means ho but my friend always adds skey to the end)
I titled my head to the side in a thinking way, the day before I was set to leave me and James had gotten into a pretty hardcore make out session, I guess it fell off sometime during that time.
"Why the hell didn't he give it to me when he came 'to check up on me'?" I was completely ignoring my friends, because now I was pissed. James had, had it this whole time, he knew that bracelet was special to me, and he was what, caught up with own wounded ego refused to give it back to me, that jack ass!
"He didn't find it till after he got back, he gave it to me because he didn't think that you wanted to talk to him just yet, you know how he is about cleaning." He shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah I guess, whatever (turning to look at the rest of my friends) are you guys ready to leave, I wanted to pick up some stuff so that I can turn that spare room on the third floor into a proper dance room and we need to try and fit in a couple hours of practice tonight tomorrow is already the 1st so we don't have much time."
They all nodded their heads and we were off to a local dance supply store.
We finally arrived back to Charles home around 2:20. With Alice's help I was able to buy all the mirrors bars and sound system and put in a work order for them to come and install it all the following day.
Felix and I went straight to my room to change so that we can get some practice in, while we directed the other into my dance room. I quickly pulled on a black halter top leotard with some navy blue knit shorts and some black thigh high knitted leg warmers, pulled my hair up into a tight pony tail and headed next door to the dance studio.
When I entered the room everyone just stared at me while I went to the center and started to stretch out, I yelled for Alice to put my Zune that I had left in there from a couple nights ago on shuffle and then motioned for them to have a seat.
"So what did you sign us up for, we have to start picking out music and choreographing." I asked as soon as Felix entered the room.
He rubbed the back of his neck and looked down a little. "Well Heidi wanted to do Ballroom, so we signed up for the Viennese Waltz and then we are doing the Jive, then we are doing two contemporary pieces, and one hip hop." Great Ballroom is my weakest dance, I'm not terrible at it, but it is my weakest dance, but I have performed it enough to be on a professional level with it as well so…. Hold up did he just say five, as in five different routines!!!!!!!! "Wait a minute, we are doing five dances, I have to choreograph five different dances, find five different costumes for each of us and they are going to have to be shelf bought there is no time for any of this plus we have to rehearse to make them perfect and competition worthy all while I still have to go to school, and practice with the dance team, luckily it's an away game so we don't have to learn a pep rally dance and we are using the same routine from last week but still, that's a lot of shit, and I don't like ballroom!" I huffed while I was trying not to freak out to much. "No silly Bella, you have to choreograph eight dances, our five and your three solos, and find music and outfits for all of them, while also doing everything else, come on super girl, show me your powers!" Felix smirked While I lunged myself at him. Unfortunately before I could reach him Jasper grabbed me from around the waist and pulled me into a warm embrace, and of course, with him around I could already feel my body instantly calming. After taking several calming breaths I spoke "Okay we can do this. We have fourteen days till we have to get on a plain so we have to prioritize." I was silent for a while "Since Ballroom is both of our weakest link, I say we take those on first, we are going to have to wake up early before I go to dance practice, so that we can practice, and you are going to have to go to the school during lunch. I will see if coach will let me use morning practice to work on my solos, and if not, well I will figure something out." Everyone except for Felix was looking at me in disbelief, most likely trying to figure how I went from having a meltdown one second to planning the next fourteen days in my head. "Welcome back Super Girl" Felix pulled me into a tight hug, and then whispered, let's do 'dancing' and see if we can impress these clowns" He was trying to get me to calm the rest of the way down, and he knew that dancing was going to do that for me, even though I wanted to kill him right now, I couldn't help but love him, he had been with me for a long time, and I don't know what I would do without him. "Fine, you guys can have a seat, and if this sucks, that is not my fault, this was our last dance we performed together but that was some time ago, so yeah hear it goes." I put the song on 'dancing by Elisa" and we hit our first pose. Even if we hadn't danced together or performed this routine I could still feel all the emotions that went into the choreographing this routine. Me and James had went out to a typical club, I had my fake id so getting in was no problem, we were just dancing and enjoying our time alone together, when this tall pale woman with fiery red hair came up and hugged James, she was all over him. I could tell by the uncomfortable look on his face and the look of triumph on her face, that this was the woman that was lying in his bed at night. Even though I knew that James was unfaithful, to finally be able to put a face to his mistress was heartbreaking. This dance showed me trying to hold on to him, and him struggling with his inner demons. (Dance on homepage) When the dance finished I felt like crying, I guess Jasper could sense that and he came over and pulled me into a big hug. I completely drowned out the praises my friends were giving me and Felix, Edwards angry face, and once again Alice's sad face, and let Jasper comfort me. "Thanks" I quietly whispered in his ear, after I felt like I had collected myself and he just pulled back and gave me a small smile of reassurance before releasing me from his grasp.
