Performance is everything (on hold for a little)

Day 2/3 and competition

Abby p.o.v

it's day 2 and there's no sign of Octavia, what went down upstairs has greatly effected Aphrodite and Octavia. I'm currently teaching GiaNina and Elliana their duet I'm not even paying attention, out of the corner of my eye i see the door open hoping it's Octavia but it's not it's Joanne "Hey Abby i hate to interrupt but do you think Gia could have Octavia's solo?" Joanne asks having to resist  to roll my eyes "No Joanne your daughter is lucky to even have a duet after what was said yesterday." I'm ready to blow my top "But Octavia isn't here she's going to need a replacement." her voice is annoying me 

"NO YOUR DAUGHTER COULD NEVER DANCE THE WAY OCTAVIA CAN! SHE CAN'T EVEN LISTEN TO INSTRUCTIONS, SHE HAS BENT ARMS, SICKLED FEET AND WHEN SHE DANCES SHE HAS EMOTION OF A CELERY STICK." i yell at her 

"Has Joanne learnt nothing. Don't be a snake, never ever try and take another dance especially from Octavia." I say glaring at the camera.

"I don't have the emotion of a celery stick, even with Octavia not here mom saw an opportunity for me to show Abby i can do whatever Octavia can or better." GiaNina says "Abby took it way to far saying my daughter has a emotion of a celery stick. And your right I'm trying to get you ahead of Octavia." Joanne says smiles smugly

Day 3

Still nothing from Octavia and Aphrodite but once again Joanne starts asking about GiaNina for Octavia's solo "your daughter can never ever do what Octavia can do it's ridiculous to think GiaNina is even on her level. GIANINA STOP CRYING SAVE YOUR TEARS FOR THE PILLOWS. You know what Joanne your a brat a pest no wonder GiaNina is the way she is it's because of you!" 

"You know what Abby sc-." Joanne starts but is cut off when the door opens and i see Octavia it brings a massive smile to my face with excitement "Your here." Opening up my arms for a hug she returns it "Yeah i am i don't want to let you down." she says "You could never ever let me down kid so lets continue where you left off yesterday." I turn to Elliana and GiaNina "Get out now your done for the day. Gia can you get the box please." I say watching them walk out "who the hell does Joanne think she is?  trying to take your solo from you." I tell Octavia and Gia

"She tried to take my solo? Well that's uncalled for, also mom isn't coming this weekend due to Joanne excuse my language 'a massive bitch' that's what mom said." Octavia says both Gia and I laugh "Your mom is very iconic and classy plus i wouldn't want to come either." I say still laughing "Lets do this from the top."

Octavia p.o.v

"when you turn then jump into a split do you think you can go higher." I nod my head going once again "Perfect, when you do a turn make sure that your right leg is straight, now go into a half illusion make your own arm movements. Can you do a illusion with your left leg." She asks and showing her

 "of course you can stupid question, now do your own sassy movements then climb up onto the box, roll stand up point at the judges split jump off of the back you land on the mat. good job" Abby claps and smiles "Okay lets go through it a couple of times then your done" I nod 

 "I really like this solo full of tricks I've never front flipped off a box before but like they say there's a first for everything." I say smiling "I'm not going to lie when i saw you jump off of that box i was worried that you might've injured yourself." mom says

"Octavia has always been a mature dancer, unfortunately none of the others besides brady can dance to her level so what I'm going to do is put her in the senior division as much as i can." Abby says 

"through out the years I've taught Octavia she's always exceeded not only mine but Abby's." Gianna says with a smile 

"I think my gia deserves mature dances but instead she gets jazz and not competition dances like Octavia." Joanne says "It's always Octavia this Octavia that when she wasn't in the studio it's 'Octavia would have picked it up quicker.' 'why cant you be more like her.' It's irritating " GiaNina says rolling her eyes 

"I  do feel genuinely sad for Octavia everyone is always gets compared to you can see it's uncomfortable for her." Michelle says "There have been times when i stand next to her in pyramid she plays with her hands it's like she's trying to ignore everything when getting compared to." Sarah says 

After running through all of the dances I noticed that Kamryn is staring at me i don't know why but it's creeping me out "Alright guys we are leaving today I want a clean sweep otherwise your on the chopping block." Abby says 

at competition 

"Alright solo's your up first Octavia I've moved you to the senior division I know you can pull out a win for me and Kamryn prove to me that you can dance at the ALDC. then duet your straight after let's settle the situation once and for all " Abby says 

while getting dressed i had my air pods in I see Yolanda talk down to Lilly and begin moving towards her so i stand in-between them staring her down as if to say come any closer i dare you. the entire dressing room came to a stand still waiting for something to happen eventually she backs down then Stacey starts on her, i look at Abby and see a smile on her face and nodding her head at me.

I walk backstage shaking out my nerves 'Please welcome number 26 Octavia with 'my prerogative'  

"Once i was in that box i completely went into the zone it felt good." I say to the camera

"Octavia never fails to amaze me, she's a true star." Abby says with a smile

"It was cute, was it the best no reminds me of a Mackenzie dance when she was younger." Abby says 

"it was good but good enough for 1st place i don't know." Abby says 

"i think we did very good." Elliana says "i thought so to ." Yolanda says 

" I know we did good, i think if i went up against Octavia in her solo i would've won." GiaNina says Joanne nods her head 

Once we got back to the dressing room all hell broke loose. I just ignored it until i heard "GiaNina I've made the decision to pull you from the dance, after what your mother said about Octavia being washed up so regardless your dropped from the dance." Abby says my eyes widen oofft

I'm just so over it these awards are too long plus mom is picking brady and Tricia  from the airport today so he can stay over. long story short I won my division another win for me, Kamryn won her division but the duet got second place. I could see Abby's face drop as soon as it was announced  next week isn't going to be fun and Blue bloods we actually won. We  nearly nearly had a clean sweep but that didn't happen.
