Author's note: I don't own the characters/people appearing in this story. Peta doesn't exist in real life but I got inspired by Peta Murgatroyd and James exist in the television series Big Time Rush as James Diamond, and this story is just my imagination. So yeah, don't own these two.
We rehearsed all our dances. James and I had to dance the Cha cha cha and the Freestyle again. A
fter we did these two we sat down in the front row and watched the others rehears.
I leaned my head on his shoulder and enjoyed Meryl and Maks' dance.
They really made a great couple. I know me and Maks were together but I realized that he definitely wasn't the right one for me.
'Peta? What are you thinking about with that dreamy gaze?'
'Nothing.', I said, still not able to stop staring at Meryl and Maks.
'You've been staring at them for the last two minutes. Why?'
'Maks and I, we've been together for like 10 months.'
'I didn't know that.'
'I know.'
'And why did you look at them?'
'Because Meryl is so perfect for him.'
'And you are mad because you weren't?'
'What? No!'
'You are.'
'James no, seriously! I've wanted him back for a couple of months after we broke up, I tried everything. Being good friends with his brother so I'd get to see him, believe me everything! It didn't help. I realized that he wasn't the right one if he treats me like that and I let go of him. I'm just happy that Meryl seems so good for him.'
'You know how you looked at them? Like you are about to run over and kill Meryl because she's so close to him.'
I got really worried. I've never seen James mad before but this was really close and I didn't want to fight with him. I put my hand on his cheek and tried to turn his head so he was looking at me.
'Listen, I don't want to lie, yes of course there's still a part of me that wants him back, but that part is so tiny it barely shows. I'm sorry if it looked like you said but I really like you and I don't want to fight because of this.'
He looked at me and then quickly leaned in and kissed me. I was surprised because of his sudden mood change but happy that he forgave me. We pulled away and I looked at him questioning.
'I guess I get jealous easily. I'm sorry.'
'You don't have to, let's just forget it. Okay?'
'Okay.' He put his arm around my shoulder and we kept watching the other dancers.
It was shortly before we had to perform our Freestyle again. I was kinda nervous because it was the last time we were able to dance together like this.
I looked at James who didn't seem nervous at all.
'Why aren't you nervous?', I whispered.
'Because today we dance only because of the fun! We are eliminated, we have nothing to lose!', he whispered back and we waited for the music to begin and then started performing our Freestyle.
When we finished it we hugged and kissed us real quick, then waited for our cue so we could go backstage again.
We went upstairs and watched the dances from above. In one the last commercial break we went downstairs with all couples except Meryl & Maks and Amy & Derek.
We they went back on, the hosts announced the winners and for me, it was no surprise that Meryl & Maks won.
We all went over and hugged the winners and 2nd place. James barely let go of my hand while I was near Maks.
So I hugged Maks shortly, said congrats and then went back to James and put my arms around him.
'You don't have to be so protective. I've known you for quite a few weeks and never got to see that side of you.'
'I can control it if I want to, but sometimes it just isn't possible.'
I nodded, understanding where he was coming from and leaving the topic.
We celebrated all night long and I really liked it. When I drove home to me this time James followed me.
We got inside and he sat down on the couch while I went upstairs to pack a few things. I went downstairs again and we left in his car.
