NOTE: For the purpose of the story Nora is still at the school with Tyler, Miles and Lucy - not at a dance company

Here's chapter 2...


Inside the club Nora was looking for Miles and Lucy in the crowd of people. Despite it being a Sunday night the club was packed from wall to wall all waiting for the live performance and the dancing to begin. Nora loved this place, it was the first time she had ever danced with Tyler in public, away from the studio. It held good memories.

She loved having Tyler at school with her now, they could meet up at lunch, walk each other to class, it was brilliant. Brett had now left Maryland and was off in L.A doing music or at least he was the last time she heard, they didn't talk anymore. This meant that Tyler, Miles, Lucy and herself could all have a fresh start.

She had got a text from Tyler just after she arrived at the club saying he was sick but to enjoy the night and not worry about him, he will see her tomorrow at school. He was a little concerned but Tyler said to enjoy herself so that's what she was going to do.

"Hey Nora, Lucy's just preparing before singing. You ok?" Miles told her all at once, obviously happy, and excited for his second time ever on stage.

"Hey Miles, yeah I'm fine. Tyler isn't well so he's not coming tonight. Excited to get up on the stage then?"She teased, knowing the answer already.

"Yeah I am actually, it helps Lucy will be there"he smiled blushing slightly. Tyler and Nora were the only people that knew about his crush on Lucy and they had guessed, Miles was very secretive about his feelings. "Yeah Tyler did text me, I'm sure he'll be fine"he assured her. He loved the fact that Nora and Tyler were now together, at least they had found someone to love them back, unlike him.

Tyler sat in his room, back resting on the door. His head was full of so emotions he felt like it would explode. His real parents? The parents that abandoned him at birth are now suddenly interested. Anger settled in his stomach, making him feel sick. Tears pricked the back of his eyes as he let the emotions out that he usually kept under wraps, the hurt and feeling of abandonment he had always felt while growing up. When he was younger and pushed from home to home he had always felt like a piece of him was missing. As he got older the feeling lessened and he decided that if they didn't want him, he didn't want them but Tyler would be lying if he said he was never curious about his biological parents.

"Ty... you ok?" Camille's voice came through the door, she had came down long enough to hear the people at the door say they were Tyler's real parents. He knew he wouldn't want to really talk to her but she wanted to at least see if he was ok. Although they weren't actually related they had always felt close to him, he was her big brother after all.

"I'm alright Cam, just need to be alone for a bit to do some school work." It was a pathetic lie and he winced at how stupid it sounded but Tyler couldn't deal with anyone right now.

A twinge of guilt hit him as he thought about the way he blew off Nora, Miles and Lucy. He couldn't cope with going out but he still felt guilty for lying to them and to Camille. Eventually they would be told the truth, but right now Tyler had to try and let it all sink in.

Sighing, he leant his head on the door and looked up at the blank ceiling, sleep was going to be difficult tonight...

Back at the club Miles was actually up on stage with Lucy, it was only the second time ever he had played onstage yet he was loving it. It made a great change from just being in the studio.

Lucy was in her element, singing was her passion. She liked danced too and always had but to her there was nothing better that getting up onstage and singing, it was second nature to her.

Nora was just enjoying the night, dancing took up most of her life and if she wasn't rehearsing after school of doing school work she was thinking of new routines. It was nice to get nights off where she could just blow off steam and have some fun. It was a shame that Tyler wasn't here to share the night but if he was sick he was better off at home thought Nora.

Lena had came in and was surprised to enter a quiet house. Lately it had been full of laughter when she walked in, Tyler getting in to Maryland was the best thing to happen to him. It was like he was a different person, happy. settled and calm. He no longer stole cars with Mac, although part of that was down to Skinny's death. Although Tyler had put on a brave fact to help support his friend, Lena knew that watching Skinny get shot affected Tyler deeply, at first he struggled to eat and seemed to shut himself out from the world. But a new school and new start brought him back to life. He still saw Mac but only to play basketball or catch-up they had both matured so much in a short space of time.

Camille came down the stairs immediately, "Where's Bill?" She asked.

"Out with some friends." Lena sighed, she was alone again.

"Where's Ty?" She asked Camille.

"In his room, something happened while you were out." Camille said, Lena didn't like her tone of voice of seriousness of her face.

"What happened Camille. Is Tyler in trouble?" Dread filled Lena as that idea that filled her mind, was he in trouble with the police?

"His... People came up to the door and said they were...they were his real parents?" Camille struggled to explain.

"Oh my god," Lean thought said under her breath. She was worried about how Tyler was going to cope with the revelation and guilty for automatically assuming he was in trouble. She went to walk up the stairs but changed her mind as Camille told her that he wanted to be alone, she had already tried to talked to him. Right now Tyler needed a few hours to himself...
