Wednesday
Nancy was teaching tonight. There had been a void whilst they were away. I missed him, Nancy missed Jay and Soph had ran off with Callum. Mum seemed to be staying later and later and I felt alone. I frowned as I scrolled through my instagram, I liked most of Chlo’s pictures. Italy looked like a dream and so did she. She was fucking perfect. I scoffed at a picture of her in a pool overlooking some nice mountains and I flashed the phone at Nancy. She chuckled and rolled her eyes.
“You look like that!” She exclaimed and I held my stomach as I laughed.
“I absolutely do not.” She chuckled.
“Fine you’ve got a bigger ass than her, she’s got bigger tits but they’re fake.” She grinned at me and I placed a hoodie over my head. It was his. The light grey one with ‘Vens’ written on it. I inhaled the smell of him and looked towards my phone again. “What are you teaching?” I pulled on my red nike shoes and glanced towards her.
“Crying in the club.” I frowned.
“Oh fuck you joking? It’s really fast!” I pulled a sad face and watched her laugh. My phone buzzed on my bed and I looked down.
Chlo: We’re on our way home.x
I looked at Nancy, she was still smiling as she picked up her car keys from her bedside table.
“They’re coming home?” My words were a whisper and she nodded.
“I know.” My fingers hit off her boob as we both squeezed through her bedroom door.
“You could have warned me.” I watched as her eyes rolled and felt her grip on me increase. She pulled me practically all the way to the studio.
Chlo: Jay wants you to swing by after your class? Check you’re alright? X
Avaya: Why wouldn’t I be ok? We’ve missed you by the way x
Chlo: I dunno he’s got a bee in his bonnet he wants to check on you and Nance obviously x
I rolled my eyes at her texts, I knew he’d been in regular contact with Nance but none of them had spoken to me. An uneasy feeling overwhelmed me and I placed my head against the glass of the gym. Tim and Jack were there, Tim high fived Nance and they began to talk. They were both from our uni. Tim studied film and photography. Some of my best dance shots were taken by him. He looked like a typical geek too. His dark curly hair was ruffled on the top of his head and his glasses were thicker framed. I smiled up towards him. Jack used to be Nancy’s type before she got all involved with Mr Conway. They danced with unbelievable amounts of chemistry and were doing so now right in front of me. I smirked to myself and winked at Nancy as she caught my eye. I swore blind she still had the hots for the Shawn Mendez look a like.
I stunk, I was tired and I was dreading seeing them again. I stalled for as long as I could while we were all taking a break, I made small talk with some of the other dancers and Tim glared at me. He knew my plan. I would stall and then nobody would get a chance to film. I smiled up at him.
“I’m so excited.” She was practically screaming. Her red hair was tied up in a pineapple bun and it was sweat stained. I chuckled and reached across to touch her hair.
“Yeah I bet, your lover boy is back.” I wiggled my eyebrows at her and heard her chuckle.
“Are you gonna actually get up off the floor?” Her beautiful blue eyes narrowed and I put my water bottle back in my mouth. Other dancers were still waiting for their next class. I was jealous of Nancy and Jay’s relationship. He had texted her everyday, he’d been sending her pictures meanwhile I had nothing. I could only imagine the shit he was getting himself into. I cringed.
“So are you looking forward to teaching next week?” She threw a curveball question my way, pulling me away from my internal thoughts. It was almost as if she knew my train of thought was going down a slippery slope.
“I am actually. It’ll be nice to watch other people learning my work?” I took a deep breath inwards and placed my head against the glass. “Did you remember to pick up spare clothes? You know where we’re gonna end up don’t you?” I didn't want to admit it but I knew what they were like. We always ended up out. She shrugged.
“I didn’t but I think I’ve left clothes here anyway…” Her voice trailed off and I tried to hide my smirk. I knew she was flushing. “Maybe we will see Soph?” She chuckled and I let my thoughts trail off again. I was scared to see him. I was terrified he’d be a monster again.
“Are you lot going to decide the groups you’re gonna film?” Nancy jogged towards me and clapped her hands.
“Right folks! Listen up,” Her eyes scanned across the room, she chose a tall blonde and a smaller brunette and another tall brunette, she then chose a group of three males, a lad and a girl and then she pointed at Jack who beamed at her and winked at me and Jamane. Jamane smiled at us, “You two,” she gestured at Jack and Jamane “are with us.” She winked at me and my heart began to pound. Oh fuck sake!
The groups went and danced it through and the other students screamed as Tim pointed towards us. I internally cringed, the door creaked open and I spotted Chlo. I smiled widely at her, she
