Heate Eissilent 2

Ladybug and Starshine Step Up.

I don't own anything besides Heather and I have Kate's permission to use her…and please review :)

Kate's POV

On the ride back to the vault Heather stared out of the window without speaking. The tears had stopped streaming down her face and she continually pushed my hand off of her shoulder. After the taxi stopped we stepped out and made our way to the vault's doors. She walked straight ahead without talking and she just stared blankly. Before I could try to comfort her again we saw Luke hitting the door to the vault cursing loudly. I ran up with Heather walking behind me and pulled one of the twins to the side.

"What is happening?" I asked. He looked at me sadly and hugged me tight.

"The bank has taken away the vault. Sadly we are departing. We hope to see you girls again sometime." He said. After that his twin and him gave Heather and I two bags each and they grabbed theirs and started to walk away. I went to go with them and I motioned for Heather to follow but she didn't. Carlos came up beside her and hugged her. She broke down again and he grabbed her hand and they walked down the opposite alleyway. I didn't follow her though; Carlos could help her more than I could it seemed. I felt my heart hurt a little but I turned around and followed the twins. Maybe this is what's supposed to happen. I turned around when I got to the end of my alleyway to see Heather staring at me from the end of her alleyway. She smiled at me sadly and waved goodbye. I let a tear drop and waved goodbye to her too. We parted ways and I immediately regretted it. I went to turn around but two hands stopped me. I looked at the twins and they both pulled me into a hug. They grabbed my arms and we continued walking.

A week had passed since we were kicked out of the vault. I hadn't seen a hair of Heather since then and I was starting to worry. I had seen Carlos though and he said that she was safe and that she spent most of her time dancing or cleaning. I asked if I could go see her but he told me that she didn't want to see anyone at the moment. I was staying with the twins and it turns out they're really fun to be around. We went out every night and we even met up with some of the dancers from the vault. Apparently both Luke and Moose were nowhere to be found, just like Heather.

About two days after Carlos and I met for coffee there was a knock on my hotel door. I thought it was just one of the twins and they had forgotten their key or something but when I opened the door I saw Julien standing there. Before I could say anything he pushed passed me and started pacing.

"Listen I know you are Heather's best friend and I know she's with you I just need to talk to her." He said quickly. I looked at him fully for the first time in weeks and his normally bright blue eyes were dull, his clothes were all wrinkled, and he had dark circles around his eyes. I sat down in front of him and sighed deeply.

"I haven't seen Heather in over a week. Julien, she won't talk to me. I don't know what happened but whatever she said to you she didn't mean it. After we left the ball she was just numb. If you really care about her though you have to prove it to her; if you don't then you just need to turn around and leave her alone. We're not going to be competing at the World Jam so you can stop trying to play her so you can win. You've won; you've got what you wanted." I said icily. He looked up at me almost defensively and sat down quickly.

"I would throw the whole damn thing if that meant she would come back to me. At first she was just some hot girl on the other team; she was a challenge and I liked that. Then she was my way to win this competition, but she started to grow on me. The way she bites her lip when she's thinking, the way she unknowingly taps her fingers to a non-existent beat, and God I love it when she sings and she doesn't even realize it! She makes me laugh when I don't feel happy, she makes me want to go out and buy her flowers and candy and recite poetry outside her window! I feel sappy and cheesy all at the same time and I know it sounds unreal but it's true! It's so true, I fell for the enemy and now I just want to be with her so if you could just please tell me where she is I would be so grateful." He said all in a rush. I stared at him for a minute and he was pleading with his eyes. I pulled out my phone and called Carlos. After much convincing he put Heather on the phone.

"Heather?" I said cautiously. I heard her sigh on the other line.

"That would be me." She said shortly; impatiently.

"Julien needs to talk to you Heather, just listen." I said. I heard the breathing on the other line stop.

"I don't want to talk to him. I'm done with him, don't you get that? I don't need him; he finally gets what he wanted. He can go and win the World Jam and live happily ever after with some blonde bimbo. I'm over it. Don't try to contact me again." She said and then the line went dead. I looked up at him sadly and he made his way toward the door. He turned around before he left.

"What is that little curly haired kid called?" he asked curiously. I looked at him weirdly but answered.

"Robert Alexander III or Moose." He smiled and walked out. I knew he was planning something but I didn't really care. I was more hung up on what Heather said to me… 'Don't try to contact me again'. Was she serious? Maybe she was just angry about Julien. I just hope that in the future she'll become herself again.
