"30 MINUTES TIL SHOWTIME!!" The producer yelled as everyone was having touch ups on their makeup or running through their routines.
"Can we just take it one more time from the-" Mark cut Bethany off.
"Bethany... You'll be fine. We've practiced a lot."
"I just don't want to disappoint. I don't want to go home week 1."
"You could never disappoint." Mark hugged Bethany before going to talk to a few pros about the opening dance.
"Babe, relax.." Bethany heard Derek's voice. She turned to face him.
"What if it's not ok though.. I can't relax..." Bethany started to pace back and forth.
"You get like this when your nervous. Just breathe, Ok?"
Bethany tensed up more.
"Babe..." Derek put his hands on her shoulders rubbing them lightly. "I know your going to do amazing. Mark's a good coach and an understanding person. He's done well with you. The best thing you can do is just to have fun ok?"
"Mmmmmmm...." Bethany mumbled.
"Come here." Derek sighed pulling Bethany into a hug.
"I'm scared..." Bethany spoke out.
She always tries to hide away her feelings. Derek knows that. It usually works with other people. But Derek can read her like a book.
"I know baby.." Derek kissed the top of her head.
"20 MINUTES TIL SHOW TIME!"
