Those Magical Moments

Twilight Fanfiction

Chapter 2: Smile

~flash forward two years~

Today was the last day of summer and I would be starting 5th grade tomorrow, which meant no more sleepovers with Jacob everyday like before. I was in my ballet tutu and in my ballet shoes dancing around in the living room with Michael trying to trip me up when it came to my balance. I managed to get myself on point and bend my back almost all the way back to where it needed to be to get the solo I wanted for my ballet class; every age group there is one person who does a solo then the second and third best does a duet and the fourth fifth and sixth best do a trio, I'd like to show my teacher I'm not just some shy girl with the weird socks that shows up to class, I learn slower but I fix it until I'm perfect at it.

Jacob was sitting on the couch in his pajama's laughing at me because he keeps track of time I'm the dreamer and all my friends says that it seems like I'm married to him the way I talk about him all the time; like I never grew up from when I was eight.

"Come on Alli you're mom needs to do your hair before it's too late okay?" Jacob said with a huge smile on his face and got up off of the couch and picked me up and carried me to my mom's room and I giggled as I lay limp over his shoulder. He sat me down on the bed as my mom got my sock bun ready. Jacob went to the bathroom to change as my mom put a ribbon on my bun and I got ready and ran out to the van and jumped in to a seat and buckled up shortly after Jacob got in and sat next to me and smiled at me buckled up and held my hand. He could tell I was nervous; this could make or break me as a dancer in this dancing group you're known for whether you were in solo, duet, or trio, or worse of all whether if you were just part of the group dance.

We were in the auditorium today and everyone who was trying out would be watching me, what if I make a mistake. Ohh god what if I fall..

"I can't do this!" I said hysterically and tried to run the other way but Jacob was blocking my exit, he picked me up and looked at me with those caramel coloured eyes and smiled.

"Yes you can you've been practicing all summer. Come on I'll always be right here watching you just close your eyes and pretend I'm dancing with you okay just like at the house okay?" He said smiling and looked straight in the eye and set me down and pushed me softly onto the stage. I reluctantly walked down to center stage and looked at the judges nervous beyond belief.

"I'm Allison Channing and I'm trying out for the solo performance for the apprentice level…. And I'll be dancing to Untouchable by Taylor Swift." I said hesitantly looking over to Jacob "But hold on one second." I said and ran over to him and gave him my glasses and pulled him slightly closer so that I can see him better. I ran back on to center stage and gave the ready signal, after that I drifted off into space letting the music control my legs and my arms my fingertips which curled ever so slightly, my legs and feet were on point, and my legs seemed to control themselves as if they knew what to do.

I lost track of time; or at least I hoped that I did, they told me to stop and then they called up the next performer to the stage and I ran over to Jacob and hugged him tight. He picked me up and carried me to the seating area where my mom, my brother, and his girlfriend was, I didn't like his girlfriend she was mean to me. She was mean to him too which was what I disliked the most about her, but Jacob sat me down next to my mom and he sat between me and his girlfriend and kissed her on the cheek holding her hand. But she was pretty, but she was ugly on the inside, but I guess he was happy with her that's the important thing.

My mommy said I danced through the whole song which is good I guess, I mean if they didn't want me to be in the solo they would have cut me off. I smiled and watched everyone perform and try out for solo's I watched the bigger kids after Jacob gave me my glasses back. Eventually the lights came on and we got up and I tried to hold Jacob's hand but his girlfriend Christa wouldn't let me because for some reason she was jealous of me when I held his hand. Doesn't she know that I'm just friends with him, or is she just insecure? Well I ended up holding my momma's hand instead. We packed into the van and Jacob sat next to me and his girlfriend sat next to my mom.

"I spy something purple." Jacob said smiling and laughed.

"Don't make it so easy, my glasses." I said sticking my tongue out at him holding his hands.

"I spy something caramel." I said looking outside.

"My eyes." He said laughing at me and I smiled nodding.

My mom took us to a pizza restaurant as congratulations for trying out for solos. Not much happened at dinner after dinner though I had to say good bye to Jacob which made me a little sad but at least I know that he will be in school tomorrow.

If only I could tell him…

How much I miss him when he's gone..

Then maybe I could smile..
