Ladybug and Starshine Step Up.

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

Heather's POV

We had been practicing for a week straight. I was collapsed on my cot, sweat dripping down my face, and my hair frizzed out. As soon as I had collapsed that night I had slipped into a needed sleep. Not but fifteen minutes later I was shaken awake by a pair of very anxious hands. I opened my eyes to see Luke looking down at me.

"Follow me, it's really important." He whispered hastily. I sighed but got up. I saw that he had also woken Anala and Jacob. They smiled at me and we all followed Luke to the outside gate. When we got outside a silhouetted figure was making their way down the damp street toward us. When they got closer the light hit their face and I saw who it was… Carlos. I stayed back and heard Luke and Carlos bickering. Luke stormed away with Anala and Jacob but I saw Carlos linger at the gate. I thought I was well hidden in the shadows but when I went to turn around I heard a voice.

"Heather, please don't leave yet." I turned to see Carlos staring right at me so I stepped out of the shadows and toward the gate. He looked me up and down but lingered on my lips. I caught him staring and looked down.

"What do you want Carlos?" I asked. I thought I had sounded mean but I sounded like I was about to cry. His grip had tightened on the bars and he was staring at his feet.

"Why are you mad at me?" he asked. I couldn't help it but a surge of anger shot through me and I laughed, I laughed an evil sadistic laugh. He looked up at me quizzically and a little bit scared.

"You want to know why I'm mad at you." I said menacingly stepping forward closer to the gate. I grabbed the bars and looked him in the eyes. "I'm mad because you tricked me into leaving all of my friends. I'm mad because you used our friendship to manipulate me! I'm mad because you talked me into leaving the one person on this whole world that I love and that I would do anything for including drop out of this STUPID competition! I'm mad because you did all of this just because you like me. You knew who I had feelings for and you still went behind my back and caused me misery because of your own selfish needs. That is why I'm mad at you Carlos." I said and went to walk away. I felt his hand grab my wrist and I heard him sigh angrily.

"What if Julien isn't the only one that loves you?" he asked. I laughed and yanked my hand out of his reach.

"Well he's the only one I love." I said. I looked back at him one last time and walked away. I knew I had just lost one of my closest friends and that I was cold-hearted but I had to do it, I couldn't let Carlos continue to think that we could have been something when we couldn't. I heard his footsteps echo through the breezeway and I felt a pang of regret. I turned to see him already gone and I saw Kate standing in the darkened doorway. I walked up to her and she pulled me into a hug.

"You had to do it. I understand that and everyone else will too." She said. I pulled back and looked her in the eyes.

"No one needs to know about this. Carlos and his feelings had nothing to do with everyone else." I said seriously. She nodded and we walked back to our cots. I got back on my cot and let my eyes droop. Tomorrow was the World Jam, we were prepared.

Kate's POV

We had practiced our routine for a week straight. Practice was actually the one thing I looked forward to. At the beginning of the week I had gotten a phone call from a very special someone. When I answered I heard a sound like a dry sob and then a voice came on the other end. It was Daniel. He said five words that made me collapse… 'We can't be together anymore.' And then the line went dead. I muffled my sobs and after I was done crying I made my way to practice. I learned quickly that practice helped keep my mind off of things. I knew Heather was too upset about everything that was going on so I didn't bother her and I couldn't tell any of the other dancers because they didn't know we were dating in the first place.

I had walked outside and saw the commotion between Heather and Carlos. I was already in a dark place so whenever I heard what she said to him I actually agreed with her. I got a sick sort of satisfaction whenever I saw him start to cry as he walked away. She was broken and I knew it. I had to be there for her and set my own personal feelings aside. I looked to see her eyes stone-cold and hard. She was gone. She needed Julien but the fact of the matter is he was gone and she wouldn't go crawling back to him because of her personal set of dating rules.

Alright guys, the story is coming to an end. 3 more chapters at the most. I hope you all have enjoyed this as much as I have! I love you guys that review! You makes me berry berry happeh! :D
