The Project

Riley

To say that everything with Freddie was going smoothly was an understatement, when Hayden and I left for dance this morning he was watching out his bedroom window
He hadn't bothered to talk to me, he's practically removed all trace of me off of his social media. It's like this petty arguments you have when your 5 but to a new extreme 

I can't let it push me too much though, I had bigger things I needed to be concerned about. Like this duet
It was an old we did with Nana's Studio years ago to raise awareness but we amplified it and it's amazing but very full on

"And finally, we have Riley and Hayden" Miss Kate smiled, I smiled looking over at Hayden
Truth be told, he's been very stuck on my hip all day. But that was to be expected. He's probably expecting me to go awol, but I'm not going to 
"Let's crush this" Hayden smiled as we took our first position, I looked around at everyone before nodding 

This routine was about to shock a lot of people, their routines were clean, polished, technical and ours? Quite the opposite

As soon as we landed in our final position, I looked at Hayden and we instantly broke character and began laughing at each other before rising to our feet
Everyone around us were clapping or cheering
"You guys!" Miss Kate said as we joined the rest of A-Troupe

"That was so refreshing, I haven't seen anything like that before" She gushed making Hayden and I smile proudly
"It was one of the pieces that we had worked on at our old studio" Hayden said
"But we added a fair bit since then, Hayden learnt some new tricks while we weren't dancing" I laughed making him chuckle
"You'll have to show us those tricks man!" Eldon said making Hayden nod in his direction
"I think that we all can learn a lot from the pair of you" Miss Kate smiled making us both smile too

We accomplished what we wanted to with the routine, that is obvious. One problem solved now a bigger one to tackle..

James and I decided to go to Parkour Alley with everyone but we were slightly off from everyone, in our own little world but I won't lie. It's exactly what I needed
"Hayden told me" James said breaking the silence, I pulled away from him slightly to be able to look straight at him
"Told you what?" I asked

"About Freddie" He said making me sigh glancing over at Hayden before looking at James
"It's okay, I swear. I bet he's told you I'm going to slowly irrupt right?" I asked and James shyly nodded but I shook my head

"I swear I won't. I made this problem myself, I knew exactly what I was doing when I did it. Every other situation was out of my control. Nothing I could have done would have changed it" I explained
"This time it was all me? I did it" I said and he looked at me a little unsure
"I don't know, he seemed pretty certain" He muttered and I smiled intertwining our hands

"That's because Hayden is trying to catch me long before I even fall. But I'm not going to fall this time and if something was to change and I felt like I was going to. I would most certainly talk to the pair of you about it" I said making him smile
"Promise?" He asked and I nodded
"I promise" I said 

It was a promise I hope I would keep. Like I really hope I do because I'm adamant that this time is going to be different. 
I'm not going to let myself get into that place again, I refuse to be that girl again

The kind of girl who can't even talk to her friends about what is going on. I'm prepared to fight this head on.. No matter what is thrown my way 

But I just hope that's enough..
