dancer in the dark

"so what the fuck" finneas stared at me

"what..?" i asked

"you're here dreaming of Robyn and yet last night you went on a fuckin DATE with JAKE" he explained "so like i said, what the fuck"

"oh" i nervously laughed "so when's our next meeting" i tried to change the subject "oh look we have a meet n greet later today"

"don't change the subject"

"i'm not" i argued

"we're talking about this later then"

"well.. i cant i'm busy later"

"with jake again?" finneas asked

"no, Robyn actually" i smiled "she decided to get back into dance and i'm gona watch their performance"

"wait a minute" he stopped "is this a date? you and Robyn?" he gasped

"no no no, she's nervous about performing she hasn't performed since her and her sister danced together"

"definitely a date" he laughed

A few hours go by and Robyn had showed up at the house.

"now i've never been to a meet and greet so how does this all work" she asked

"so i'll be in a room that my fans get led into one by one or if they are in a group then the group comes in, you can stand in the corner where my mother usually stands but you're just there to make sure no one kills me" i explained

"right so just give you space with them unless anything suspicious happens"

"just like that" i smiled

"okay, you ready?" she asked

The meet and greet went really well. I honestly love meeting my fans and being able to hug them. Listening to their stories is so fascinating as they already know way too much about me so just learning something about them really lightens my mood. I could tell Robyn got bored though but it's understandable as she had little interaction considering people are here to meet me, not her. But music helps.

And soon enough, it was Robyn's dance.

"you nervous" i laced my fingers with Robyn's as I noticed her leg rapidly bouncing

"a little" she nodded

"hey" my hand had found her face "you're gona do great, you're an amazing dancer"

"thank you for being here" her face fell

"she would be proud of you" i said softly

Robyn looked back at my face as smiled slightly, only this gaze had seemed to be held along with my hand still on her cheek. We both knew what we wanted. Well, I know what I want. Her eyes found my lips and mine did the same.

"Robyn we're about to start" someone yelled breaking our gaze

"i can't wait" i smiled excitedly

"go find your seat before it's too late" she chuckled

So that's what I did, front row seat as well.

The lights went out and the music began. Slowly the lights came on individually showing each dancer on the stage. And there was my girl.

I love to watch her dance

When the lights are gone her emotion shows

I love to watch her dance

Seems like tragedy is all she knows
