Hey everyone! Happy 2016!
Sorry ai had a huge problem when I copied this from awatpad and everything was messed up...
So, this is my very first TNS and Jiley fanfic! Hope you like it! Feel free to tell me what you think about it, comments and reviews are more than welcome!
I write fanfics because I feel there is something missing in the show/series/movie/ book which means I am always opened to new ideas!
This is my view of things should/would have happened after James and Beth kiss.
Enjoy!
Riley's POV
"And the winners of the National's duet are... Riley and James" Miss Kate announces.
OMD we won! I feel so happy! But I don't show it too much because you know... I am a bit shy... But inside I just feel like jumping and making a happy dance!
Em comes and hugs me, congratulating me. "Well done, Ri! I am so proud of you!"
"Thanks, Em." I reply blusing a bit. Soon everyone joins her. The last one is Chloe. She heads to me with a warm smile in her face.
"Good job, girl! I knew you would win it, you guys killed it!" She told me giving me a hug.
"Yeah... How could I possible think I could beat you... I mean, you're Jiley! You're like french fries and ice cream together in a plate!" West said, gesturing with his hands. We all look at him confused.
West always says non-sense things, which somehow, always end up making sense, even if in a really weird way.
"Man, what is that suppose to mean...?" Asked Eldon looking really puzzled.
"You know ice cream and french fries are like awesome, just like my boy James and you, Riley. So, when they are together, you get like an explosion of awesomeness which is like... Imposible to beat. That's Jiley!" West explains as if made all the sense in the World. We all laughed.
"Thanks! I guess..." I reply laughing as well.
"Well, although what West said was a bit strange... To say the least. I agree with him! Riley, you and James have such a great chemistry and when you dance... It's amazing ! And I have to say, you improved so much since last year, Riley! I am really proud of you!" Miss Kate tells me, putting an arm around me and shaking me a bit.
Everyone cheers and that makes me blush a bit.
"Okay, dancers! Now that we already have our Nationals duet, tomorrow will be the Small group's auditions. So whoever is considering auditioning, you have the rest of today and 2 hours tomorrow to practise." Phoebe announces.
Everyone stars talking to each other and grouping to the auditions tomorrow. I just want to go and tell James that we got the National's duet!
I am just so excited! I really wanted this, and we got it! I actually didn't think we would... I mean, yeah me and James are both great dancers, him more than myself but still, great dancers, but the others are also so good... And I don't know... Actually, I think we deserve it! We have both worked so much for it!
Before me and James got closer, I was really insecure about everything that was related to me, and as a result, I wouldn't put as much effort as I could in everything I did because I would assume from the beggining that I would not be able to do it.
But when I asked James if I deserved to be in the first row and he was honest with me and said "no", that made me want to prove him that I could! That I deserve to be in the first row, and also show myself that I am much better than I think. I am still struggling with that though... However, James has always encouraged me to take risks and push myself. He is always very honest, which is one of the things that I love about him. I mean he isn't one of those boyfriends who tell their girlfriends that they look good when they don't just to make them happy. He always tells what he truly think. Of course, sometimes it hurts a bit but also makes me understand where I stand.
These James's feature were what made me learn how to do an aerial, which I would have never learnt if it wasn't for his encouragement.
Flashback
We had just came back from winning Regionals and we were all in the Studio just messing around. Actually they were all messing around. Me and Emily were sitting on a bench. She was acting a bit strange lately, avoiding Eldon and Michelle, but knowing Em the way I do, i know it's better if I don't ask anything.
They are all doing tricks and flips, and I can't help but feel a bit sad and insecure. Basically everyone here at the studio can do acro... But I can't... Nothing, zero, nada...
I stare had Chloe who had just done a back flip. I didn't really know that she could do it because she is very ballet, but she is really good! I wish I was like her... But I would never be able to do it...
Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look up and see James smiling down at me. "Hey!"
"Yo, why the long face, Riles?" James asks sitting next to me, with his arm aroud my shoulders, pulling me closer.
I sigh and look to the floor. "It's just I wish that I could do tricks and flips like you guys do..."
James grabs my chin gently, making me face him. "Then why don't you try?!" "Me? No, James, I could never do it!"
"Why not?" James asks looking at me confused. I open my mouth to answer but I don't really know what to say. " See! Of course you can do it! Not from one day to the other, because you know, we took like years to learn everything but with practise you will be able to pull it!"
"You think so?" I ask, and he know I want his honest opinion. " Yo, baby girl, you can do everything you want, you just have to believe in yourself. Tell you what! Let's go right now to Studio B and you will learn something... Like... I know, an aerial. You're gonna learn how to do an aerial!"
" An aerial? James, I..." I start but we cuts me off, picking me up and carrying me bridal style to Studio B, which made me giggle and gain looks from everyone.
He puts me down and says " Let's make a deal. Everytime you get it right, you get a kiss. Fine?"
I look at him, considering his offer... " Fine!" I agree which makes him smile. "Let's go, do it"
Let's just say that it took me more than he thought it would for me to get it right! And a few bruises... But when I did, I just started jumping up and down, and he ran in my direction, picking me up and spinning me in the air.
When he is about to put me down, we connected our lips. We kiss passionately for a while. I just feel so happy that I could do it and that James believed in me, I don't know what I would do without him... He is just so important to me... He makes me feel safe and secure about myself. He is my everything.
He finally puts me down. Our eyes are locked and I can see the pride he feels of me, expressed in his brown eyes. I hug him tightly and whisper "Thanks, James!". "Don't even worry about it!" He answers making me smile.
End of flashback
I head to studio B, just so excited to tell him that we got the duet. I know that he is rehearsing with Beth , but I don't really see any problem there. It's not like I haven't been to one of their rehearsals... And this is really important!
When I get to studio B, I freeze at the door. I can't believe what is happening before my eyes...
James and Beth are ki... Kissing! They are kissing... Their lips are touching! My eyes are filled with tears...
I don't even know what is happening... They are their suking each others lips and James is 't doing anything! He is kissing her back! Does that mean he wants to do it...
I feel the tears running down my face, burning my cheeks.
My heart is broken... I just feel completely empty... Like if I had nothing left... Literally, as if someone had ripped my heart from my chest... I can't believe he could possibly do something like this to me...
Why James? Why are you doing this to me? I thought you love me! But why did I think that?
I foccus on what is happening in front of me. Their lips are still attached! I feel my head spinning, as if I was about to pass out... I run out of there to the cubbies and get my bag.
I run outside the study, to catch some fresh air. I hear voices calling my name but I can't think about it. I am still crying heavily and I let out a cry I didn't know I was holding. My chest hurts as if I had just run a marathon...
All that is in my head is James and Beth kiss... They kissed forever... Why did it happen? Maybe he still has feelings for her... I know they had something in the past but I thought... I just thought he loved ME... But I was so stupid to think that...
I begin walking home, tears always sliding down my face throught the whole way. My house is close to the studio. In 5 minutes I am home.
I run to my room and lock it. Nobody is home, but I really want to be alone now, and Emily should get home any minute. I also turn off my phone.
I lie in my bed, putting my legs close to my chest and my arms wrapping them, just like a ball. I rock my body from one side to the other. I let out more loud cries, and just stay there lied down, sobbing.
I was so stupid to think that James loved me! He is a player for God's sake! Everyone knew that! Emily warned me... But I was silly and let myself believe he had changed... But apparently he hasn't! And why would he even change for someone as uninteresting as me... Really, Riley?! What were you thinking?
How could I open myself to someone like that! James was my everything! He was my rock, he was my safe heaven. Whenever I felt down, one hug from him and everything would get better. But now that he was the one to hurt me, what am I suppose to do?
I need him so much... I need him to tell me that he loves me, that that kiss meant nothing! To tell me that everything will be okay and that we will be fine. But it won't! He can't say that! Because he messed up! He ruined our relationship! And by doing it, he ruined me... Because I needed... Ineed him to tell me I can do anything in the world. I need him to make me feel confident!
I know it was a really stupid move to fall so much for someone... To let someone get so involved in your life, to the point where you can't imagine your life without that person... But without James I am stuck... I feel like nothing in this world will be okay... Because je was the one to make it okay!
I was always insecure and depressed. I always felt inferior and plain, but then James proved me I was wrong... Or maybe I wasn't...
Maybe he was just playing with my feelings like he did to God knows how many girls... I was just another one in his list... Just one that lasted a bit longer... But just another one...
That thought destroys me... Just to consider that idea, makes me feel sick...
One single tear drops my eyes and lands in my hand, right in the ring James gave me last week, when he had our 4 month aniversary... Was that time just a lie?
