Hey, guys! I know I haven't uploaded anything for months and I want to apologize for that. I fell into this very weird phase where all I wanted to do was read and I'm still in that phase it's just not so violent anymore. I had stopped writing because I thought that all I had time to do was read. I just recently started writing again but with my new story Fatal Desire. I had thought that you wouldn't want to continue to read this story since I haven't uploaded since last year.
Speaking of that, I want to say thank you so much for those who wanted this story to continue. I received 21 reviews back saying you want this to continue. No, I did not put that A/N there to just get more reviews. I honestly really wanted to know who's still willing to read this so I'm gonna thank:

Anyways, I'm going to let you read now!
(Just so you know this chapter was written at the beginning of the school year so there are some casualties that is kind of too late to fix! Sorry!)

"Calm down? Calm down!" I started to rush off. "Whatever." I stopped at the door. "I guess you're going to the competition tomorrow. Break a leg." I was about to leave but a noise stopped me in my tracks. Bella was crying. I know it was mean to say and even though she lied she didn't deserve it. So I went by her side and hugged her tight.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you." I told her. She shook her head.
"No it's just those words hurt more than they were meant to." She started whipping her tear-streaked face. Something was definitely up.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I saw her hesitate. " I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to."
"No, I want to. Do you want to know the whole story?" She asked.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."

I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I'm telling Alice everything. The whole truth. Am I ready for this? I better be, there's no cutting around the bush this time.
Here goes nothing…
'Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
And I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive
-Emergency by Paramore
(Was literally listening to this just right now)

Breathe, Bella. Just breathe. It's not the end of the world. You're only telling your closest friend your embarrassing life secret that no one knows besides your parents…
Ah, crap! I took a few deep breaths. It seemed to help.
After calming myself down, I still wasn't ready to tell her. I broke down in front of her, for crying out loud! That's embarrassing. Besides, there's so much to tell that I don't even know where to start…
"Are you sure you want to tell me? I would understand if you can't…" Alice said. She looked at me with so much sympathy. How could I say no to her?
I shook my head.
"No, you need to know." I said, and more quietly, "I need someone to know." She gave me a reassuring smile.
I toughened up and spoke. "Well, let's start from the beginning…
"I was 5-years-old when my mom and I were walking through Port Angeles. I remember passing by these amazing looking stores. They seemed so cool looking and I would've ran into them if not for my mom holding my hand to keep me in place. We continued walking when I suddenly heard music coming from one of the stores.
"It was a dance studio.
"I stopped immediately and ran inside. I saw kids around my age doing this cute routine and became fascinated by it. My mother walking in ready to take me back outside, but stopped when she saw me giggling and dancing. I was doing a solo of my own. The class had stopped to watch me perform. Then the teacher, Mrs. Bendell, talked to my mother about entering me in dance; she wanted me on the team. She said there was something about me that made me special.
"My mom agreed with Mrs. Bendell and signed me up for dance classes right there and then. I was to start 2 or 3 weeks after that. Turns out, my mother used to be a dancer as well. When we got home, she decided to train so I would be ready when I went to my first rehearsal. I was a very quick learner and already had the basics down when I arrived to my first rehearsal.
"What I didn't like, though, was that I was in a beginners' class. They were teaching things I already knew. After 3 days of rehearsal, I got fed up that we weren't rehearsing any routines yet and told Mrs. Bendell about it. She didn't seem to believe I was ready to go to competitions yet and that it would be months before I would learn a proper routine and compete.
"I got so mad that I ran up to the music player, played a random song, and danced my very best to it. Of course I couldn't do much considering I didn't know many techniques. At the end, Mrs. Bendell said she wanted to see me after class.
"What she told me was that I was an amazing dancer for a starter and that she would be putting me in the Gold Class. They were the best of the best and I was genualy shocked that I could be ranked that high. Mrs. Bendell gave me private lessons every day from then on, teaching me her very best. I worked hard for about 2 months before she finally deemed me 'competition ready'."
I suddenly stopped to clear my throat, though, all I was doing was stalling. Alice seemed to catch on.
"It's okay. You're doing great." She told me. I was doing my best not to cry. I continued to tell the story, falling into the very same day of the incident…
Ugh! I'm sorry to cut this chapter so short but I'm getting really tired and I want to go to bed! I PROMISE TO FINISH THE NEXT CHAPTER TOMORROW! I hope you liked the beginning of her story! I swear the next chapter will be up tomorrow!
