**So I got two reviews from the last chapter. That's better than nothing, I guess, but I put a lot of effort into the chapter and I would really appreciate some feedback, so tell me what you think. Anyways, I was just sitting on my couch cooling off after a game, when I got inspired, so here goes nothing.
Chapter 14: It's Just the beginning, that's the scary part
Emily's Point of View
Emily pulled into the parking lot of Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center. She didn't own a vehicle, so she went to see one of her mother's old boy friends, who owned a used car dealership, she knew that he would give her a really good price if she "put in a good word to her to her mother" yeah right, but she needed a car. So she got a 2012 Silver BMW six-series convertible. Her brand new/used car looked like she just drove off the lot with it. She remembered many different times when she was training at the Rock when she was told that she needed to treat herself like the real champion that she was. When she went to the movie premiere in California, Payson taught her that she wasn't just another want to-be anybody; she was Emily Kmetco, former National Team Member, and the former World Team Member. She dated Daemon Young, world-renowned rock star who was making a name for himself. She knew that this was going to be a tough day, and a tough next couple of months. At least, she had a nice new car to come back to. Maybe this week wouldn't be that bad. Who was she kidding; of course this was going to be a hard couple of months. These girls all hated her, and all of the guys did too, and maybe Austin Tucker didn't hate her as much, but let's just face reality Em, this is happening and there is nothing you can do about it. You deserve this; you are just as good as every gymnast in there, if not better. You are amazing. This is it, the big time, what you have been working for your entire life and you know what ready or not it's coming, so bring it on! She gave herself a mental pep talk, after all she certainly was going to need it. One More by superchick started playing through her head. It feels like I have lost this fight They think that I am staying down But I'm not giving up tonight Tonight the wall is coming down I am stronger than my fears This is the mountain that I climb Got 100 steps to go Tonight I'll make it 99
One more Go one more Yeah, yeah Don't stop now Go one more Yeah, yeah One more Go one more Go one more Yeah, yeah
I have everything to lose By not getting up to fight I might get used to giving up So I am showing up tonight I am my own enemy The battle fought within my mind If I can overcome step one I can face the 99….
She finally mustered up enough courage to step out of her car, which she couldn't wait to see what the other girls said when they saw it. She noticed something big, something HUGE. Her sign. HER PARKING place, right in between Cruz and Tanner was gone. In its place was a trailer. At least something's never change. Sasha, when he had first decided to come back to the Rock chose to rent an apartment, until he could get his trailer back, and he did, after all, he liked a short commute. She took a deep breath and opened the doors to her new home, like she had a million other times.
5:00am: Payson comes to the gym
Payson's point of view:
I was walking into the gym in the zone, ready to show up Kelly Parker and her little bootlicker, Tessa. This is my home, my gym, I will not let anyone get in the way of that or take it away from me! I mentally psyched myself up. Time to get your game face on Pay! I practically subconsciencly walked into the locker room, practically second nature. I did my normal routine, take me sweat suit off, start putting in my combination, twelve- twenty four- zero six. This was as normal to me as getting ready for prom was to normal teenage girls, although I had done that too. I was walking out of the gym locker room, headphones on when I noticed Marty was here. No big deal, I knew that he was coming. I saw that he was training a girl with dark hair pulled into a ponytail. Thank goodness, Kelly Parker had finally gotten rid of those terrible devil horns, although they did suit her. She laughed, recalling the remark Lauren had made to her a year and a half ago, when Denver had come, and she, Payson Keeler, had beaten the leotard off of Kelly Parker. She suddenly stopped laughing, this was not funny. That girl flipping on the bars was not Kelly Parker, she would have never only done a full in back out, this was Emily Kmetco!
Authors Note: So can we get at least THREE reviews this chapter? I don't think that's too much to ask for. Anyways, tell me what you think. I left off where the show would go to commercial break….SORRY, you'll just have to wait! Also, I apologize if black dots show up between everyword and paragraph symbols randomly show up, I don't know why, but my computer is flipping out on me. Anyways, REVIEWWWWWWWWWW!
