You Forge Your Path in Fire

                    Vanessa's POV

    I can't believe that we're back at Keaton! The same place that we grew as people and dancers. This place is one of the only places that I feel safe. Things haven't been exactly great at home, with my parents fighting and my younger brother and sister being in school it's kinda hard. I have to be the one in charge.

"V!" I heard a familiar voice yell,

    I whipped my head around to see Beckett running towards me. He brushed his hair out of his face and smiled at me.

"Hey, how were the last weeks of summer without me?" I asked

"I got some me time, and I got an earful from 'Hell on Wheels' " He responded playfully

"Jerk! " I retorted punching him lightly on the shoulder,

    He leaned in to kiss me, but I tilted my head to the side so he kissed my cheek,

"Hey! RUDE." He complained,

"It's not my fault you decided to be a jerk!" I lamented

We laughed at our behavior and I kissed him on the lips, only to be interrupted by another familiar voice,

"I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK AN HUNG OUT WITH HER WHEN I SPECIFICALLY TOLD YOU NOT TO!" I heard Carly holler from across the courtyard,

I went to go calm her down, "Wish me luck. . ." I whispered to Beckett. I jogged across the lawn to find Sasha yelling at her,

" YOU ARE SOOOOO CONTROLLING EVER SINCE I STARTED DATING YOU I HAVEN'T BEEN IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE!" Sasha retorted,

Slowly taking steps back I walked back to were Beckett was, talking at one of the picnic tables with our interdisciplinary project. This is going to be a long day. Carly marched to our table tugging her ear, hiccuping, and sneezing. Let the drama begin.
