A/N: Feel very lucky because I am updating really often :) This is a really short chapter but which I really wanted to write... Enjoy! <3

Riley's POV

Here I was sitting in my bed. I have been gone from the studio for only two days and I already miss it so much...

I asked Emily to avoid talking about it because it hurts me to even think about it... But it was the best decision.

Going to Studio wasn't fun anymore. Ever since I broke up with James, things went from bad to worse.

I still love to dance, don't get me wrong. But all the drama was too overwheelming...

I mean everyone was always fighting and then I had to see James and Beth kissing everyday...

It was too much...

And then Beth was always sending this rude comments and putting me down... I guess she was right somethings... She was indeed prettier than me, sexier than me, skinnier than me... Better than me... So, I couldn't exactly blame James for dumping me for her... But you see, I wasn't gonna to stay and watch to the show either...

The day before I left the Studio, Amanda came to me and we talked. She was worried about me and asked me how I felt. She made me think about what was making me feel down and we concluded it was the Studio. After hearing everything that I had to say, she told me that I would be sadist to stay in place where I didn't feel comfortable.

I was so glad I had that conversation with her. She truly showed that she was not na Elite member anymore but part of The Next Step Family. I guess she was a good friend, at least she didn't criticize.

Due to me leaving the Studio and the fact Miss Kate had to hand in the list of the dancers for Nationals tomorrow, I am sure they have found a substitute for me... I don't know who it might have been but there are a lot of good dancers who might have taken my spot. I feel better just knowing that someone wil be happy with my departure...

The only thing that I knew was that Beth and James were the new duet for Nationals... You can imagine how I feel about it...

Since I left the Studio I found out that I actually had a lot of free time in my hands. Which was good because I could study and do my homework without the rush I felt before. But still, without the Studio and James... I guess I didn't have much. So I started writing. I write anything. My feeling, stories about random people, fanfiction... Basically anything.

My parents found out that I was skiping meals so they wanted to send me to a psychologist but after begging them for hour they accepted that they would trust me.

I am starting to eat better again but because I am gaining weight, I am starting to wear more baggy clothes.

Now that I don't dance, I don't burn many calories so I don't feel as comfortable in my old clothes...

My sister is not very happy about it but she respects my decision.

At the moment I am wearing one of James's old hoodies that stayed in my house. I am doing it pretty often now but only when nobody is home. It still has his smell and somehow it makes me feel like everything is back as it should be.

I am writing in my new notebook my mom got me yesterday. It was pretty vintage, with flowers all over it. I loved it. It was a story about a girl who started watching a boy everywhere and then found out he wasn't actually real, she had made him up in her mind because she was so lonely (A/N: This is based on one of my stories "Glowing in the dark". Please check it !)

Yeah I know it's pretty depressing but it was really beautiful and I felt happier when I wrote it.

Suddenly, I hear the bell ring. I look out at the window but don't see any car.

Maybe it's the mail...

I get out of my room and head to the door.

I hear someone knocking and sigh.

"I'm coming!" I shout running down the stairs.

I open the door and gasp, shocked with the figure in front of me.

"What are you doing here?"

A/N: So who might be at her front door? I can think about at least two options ;)... Hope you liked it. Please don't forget to vote and comment!

Ps - I wasn't able to check the mistakes from the last few chapter but I will do it next week... Please forgive me!
