Dear Viewers,

I have to admit, I had a lot of fun writing this chapter, so much fun that I got this chapter done and the next two done! That's great because now my stress level has gone down a lot...

So, I hope you enjoy this chapter, even though some of it might not make sense try to imagine that it does!

Get on with it now! Stop listening to me blathering on!

Michelle

Disclaimer: I haven't put one of these up for awhile, so just so we're clear, I don't own Twilight at all, so there! Happy everyone?

Dance, Dance
We were falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you love to lead

If they knew how misery loved me
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Dance, Dance—Fall Out Boy

Chapter 37
Sophie's POV

"Now before you jump to conclusions, it's not like what you're all thinking. I know the owner of the dance club and there's no bar there and no alcohol allowed, if you're caught with it, you're kicked out and banned. Just so you know, there is a dress code, no dressing slutty or whorish like, the owner doesn't like that at all. And it's only for people ages 16 and up, well I can't say 'and up' because there is an up limit, I'm pretty sure it's 27, that's when they expect you to be normal adults and go to the bars and older dance clubs. So you see, no harm done, and trust me, when I used to go there, people ask to dance with you before they come up and dance behind you if you know what I mean. I was kind of a special guest to the owner so I was allowed in when I was 15."

"Okay, for a second there you had me really scared." Kim said.

"Yeah, I thought you meant the whole shebang kind of dance club, the men constantly groping you, the slutty dressed whorish b****** and alcohol involved type dance club." Leah said with a relieved sigh.

"Sophie, do you really think we should?" Emily asked, but I really knew that she was asking, 'Do you really think I should?' instead.

"Em, you'll be fine, don't worry, we'll all be fine. If I didn't think that we'd be fine, then I wouldn't take us there, okay?"

Emily sighed after a while. "Okay, but only for a little while, right?"

"Yes Em, only for a little while. You don't think that I'd let my future sister-in-law get hurt do you?" I asked her honestly.

She rolled her eyes. "Of course not."

"Wait, isn't Sam only your cousin?" Leah asked.

"Ah." I squeaked out. I hadn't realized I'd said it. "Um, I was going to tell everyone at once when we got back, that Sam and I, well, we're kind of half-siblings, along with Sam being Sky's half-brother." I bit my lip.

"And why didn't I hear about this earlier?" Kim asked annoyed.

"Because I only found out last night from my Mom, nobody knew that Sam and I were half-siblings, only my Dad, my deceased Grandparents, a few lawyers, a few doctors and all of the older aged adults. Sam was raised by his Aunt and Uncle because everyone thought my Dad wasn't fit to be a Dad, and we all know how true that is."

"Oh, okay, but how did everyone manage to keep this a secret for so long?" Leah asked.

I shrugged not knowing the answer to that question.

After a little while of just waiting, Leah said out of the blue, "Sophie, did I ever mention how much I love that leather jacket that you're wearing?"

I looked down at it with a laugh and said, "No, you haven't, it is pretty nice eh?"

She laughed. "Yep, it really is."

After we had ordered, eaten and paid for our meals, we left the restaurant and went to the nearest place that we could change.

I was wearing a loose red shirt with glittering lines across the bottom, on the sides and the top, my leather jacket of course, dark jeggings (you know, jean-leggings, but more jean-like then legging-like). I also put on a silver necklace that had a bunch of chains, black ankle high heeled boots and a yellow clutch. I know it wasn't that smart of me to wear heels but I was getting so much more balanced that it scared even me.

Kim was wearing a grey tunic type dress, black tights, a gold coloured simple bracelet, opal earrings and an opal ring; they had belonged to her Grandmother, whose birthday had been in October. She had on one gold-bronze coloured bangle-bracelet and strappy heels. She looked gorgeous as always.

Emily was wearing a ruffled, reddish-magenta coloured top and a pair of black skinny jeans. She had put some dangly earrings in her ears and a rose printed, silver and black bangle-bracelet and had on some shoes that looked kind of like my own. She completed the look with a silver clutch purse that had a thin strap on it. She looked beautiful, and the shirt she had chosen completely hid the fact that she was pregnant.

And last but not least, Leah, she had on a lacy, black top, tight black skinny jeans that showed off her lovely long legs, a black clutch purse with a strap and black high heels. I had to say, Leah looked absolutely hot, and sexy.

"We look gorgeous girls; drop dead gorgeous, and hot, and sexy." I said as we looked in the mirror together.

They laughed with me and we headed to the car in the parking garage. We put all our unneeded bags and clothes in the back and headed off to the club. We were walking of course; it wasn't that far from here.

"It's called La Oscuridad Despertar, the owner is Spanish, and I should warn you—"

"Sophie? Do you even know what La Oscuridad Despertar means in English?" Kim asked me.

"The Awakening Dark, of course, I passed Spanish with a B+ you know." Kim rolled her eyes at me and muttered, "Sure you did."

I stuck my tongue out at her. "As, I was trying to say, I should warn you, the club is kind of dark themed, dark lights, a red, black, silver and gold colour scheme, but the music, is not Gothic type, except for the occasional Gothic rock music band, but trust me, they only play my favourites, like 'Within Temptation', 'Nightwish' and I think 'Evanescence', anyway, the music is great. I was going to say, the owner is sort of Goth, and that's why the club is how it is. They have a canteen in case you need a little snack or a drink, non-alcoholic of course."

"Okay, this club sounds like it should be really fun." Leah said with a smile. I smiled back at her.

"It will be, don't worry." I said confidently.

When we arrived, there was a huge line but I had a V.I.P. access card that allowed me to take in up to three friends into the club while skipping the huge line. I showed the bouncer my card, I remembered him and he remembered me as well and we were waved in immediately.

"Sophia! Mi querida niña! How have you been? I've missed seeing you around here!"

Nicho Hernandez hadn't changed that much in the last few months. He still had naturally tanned skin, a mess of black hair, deep brown eyes and of course his white smile. But, as I must say, he's nowhere near as perfect as Paul.

"Nicho! It's so good to see you again! I've been great, how've you and the family been?"

"Oh mi dulce niña, I'm lucky this club does so well for money, Lorlei is pregnant again, and with twins this time! Just like our eldest daughters!" He put his hands up to add to the crisis he thought he was in.

I chuckled. "And how many is that now?" I asked.

"Including the unborn twins? 7, and I'm not sure if Lorlei wants to stop there! Our eldest daughters are 8 now, our three sons are 5, 4 and 2, and this upcoming set of twins is one of each."

"Hey, you make a great Dad, I'm sure they're always amused by your personality." I smirked.

"Oh ha ha, go have fun and dance with your friends now; I'll talk to you later." He said rolling his eyes.

"How about I introduce you to them first?" He nodded. "This is Kim, the one in the red/magenta shirt is my future sister-in-law Emily and the one in black is her cousin Leah."

"Well, it's nice to meet Sophie's friends, she seems to be much happier with all of you then I ever seen her with that rotten ex-boyfriend of her's." We all gave a laugh, Nicho never did like Jonas, I guess he was right to hate him. "I'll see you around Sophie."

"Okay, I'll catch you later Nicho." I waved him off and rejoined the girls. "Nicho and I are old friends; I've known him for quite a few years."

"Okay." Kim said. Emily and Leah perked up when they heard the perfect song come on, Dynamite by Taio Cruz. Perfect!

We headed to the dance floor and started grooving to the music.

Now, I have a confession to make. Remember back in April when I made those excuses to Kim why I couldn't go to the dance? Well, both Kim and I knew I was just bulls****** myself with the excuses I was making.

Truth is, I'm actually an amazing dancer, despite being off-balance most of the time. Ever since I was little I'd dreamt of being a dancer, of being a big star but of course I knew that couldn't happen. I'd watch all the big dancers on-screen and Kim would help me learn all the types of dances that I could. I'd become an amazing dancer, but I was too shy to let anyone know, and too scared because of Donovan.

Now, I was still a pretty amazing dancer but I hadn't done any major dancing in almost a year now, but I'd been aching do start dancing again. Once upon a time, I had planned on making enough money to go to a performing arts school so that I could train to be a professional dancer, travel the world and that's what I wanted to do with my life.

Of course that has all changed now that Paul has come into the picture, I can't leave La Push now because Paul can't, and I know we'll want to start a family and I won't be able to travel, or dance, with that responsibility. I couldn't take Paul away from La Push because of his duty to the tribe.

So, becoming a professional dancer, was out of the question.

As soon as soon Dynamite was over, we ended up laughing.

"Sophie, this was an amazing idea, I'm glad you brought us here." Leah said.

"Yeah, I haven't had this much fun in so long." Emily said. Just then, I heard a song come on that made Kim and I lock eyes.

"Should we?" Kim asked.

"I don't see why not." I replied.

"But Soph, I don't want you to be discouraged because of what can never be anymore." Kim said sympathetically.

"It's alright, we're wasting time anyway." I pulled her to the dance floor and made us room to do the dance. Emily and Leah understood to just sit back and watch.

Everyone made us room so that Kim and I could do our thing. The song was Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy, and years ago, Kim and I made a dance to it.

We both remembered the steps and I let the music and the choreography take me, I did what was natural to me. Kim and I made eye contact a few times and I could see that she was having just as much fun as I was.

When the song ended, Kim and I smiled brightly at each other, and bowed. Everyone in the club applauded; I felt like the little dancing star I once planned to be.

But, I never will be.

There you have it; Sophie's hidden dreams that can never be. I decided to give Sophie a little bit more of my personality by adding the dance thing since dancing is pretty much my life...

By the way, the girls' outfits, along with Sophie and Kim's dance, will be linked onto my profile, so check it out when you can!

See you next week!
