The Cheerleader And The Cage Fighter.... Are Dance Partners?

HALLELUJAHHHHH..... HALLELUJAHHHHHHHH

PART 25 IS HERE!!!

Can I please just say to the people that keep leaving bitchy comments (it's only a minority)....

* I work fulltime - at the moment I've been working 6 days a week
* I have a toddler
* On top of work I also have studying to do as well as extra duties which I've offered to do for work
* I have friends that I like to see
* I sometimes have plans, e.g. this week seeing Simple Plan (who were A-MA-ZING by the way)

So yeah sometimes it is a struggle for me to fit in an update and when I say I fell asleep on the laptop it's usually because I've had a busy day and then at the end of it tried to get a new part typed up but ended up falling asleep instead. And I'm a bit run down at the mo, hence why I keep getting poorly.

That being said, I do acknowledge that 2 weeks is a bit of a wait for an update and I usually don't leave it that long.

Still keep coming up with names, some of you have suggested really good ones. In part 26 I will be picking some of my favourites and then you can all vote which one you like out of them.

Anyways, I hope you like this part xxxx

"You seem very happy today dear" Dorothy smiled at me knowingly.

I couldn't even keep myself from grinning.

"Do I?" I asked innocently, looking down at my feet, "Um, it's just been a good day at school"

Dorothy chuckled away to herself, her expression suggesting that she knew that there was much more to it than that.

We were sat outside the residential home that she lived in sipping the hot chocolates I'd picked up on my way to see her. Dorothy would usually struggle with walking after we had got outside so I'd pushed her in her wheelchair like I'd done many times before.

I told her about the crew and I going to Sparkies to dance the night before.

"It sounds delightful" she beamed at me, "I wish I could see you all dance".

The cogs of my brain began whirring.

"I can't promise" I said slowly while I still thought it through, "But maybe we could bring the dancing to you one day. I'm sure the others would be up for it".

I hoped they would be anyway.

"That would be fantastic" she replied happily.

A smirk appeared on my face.

"Or we could come and kidnap you and take you to the gym" I joked.

Dorothy began to laugh.

"I like that idea much better"

*********

Pulling up in my drive I was already mentally planning the chill out session I was going to be having before I went to the gym for dance rehearsals.

No such luck though.

My mum pounced on me as soon as I walked through the door.

"Where have you been?" she practically shouted, pulling me along behind her and straight up the stairs.

This was a complete reversal compared to what she had been like the night before.

"Are you feeling better today?" I asked tentatively when she'd yanked me into my bedroom.

"Whatever do you mean?" she asked, rummaging through my wardrobe, pulling out random items of clothing.

"You seemed a bit... off" I said gently, knowing how volatile she had been lately and not wanting to upset her.

She paused and looked at me.

"Really Kaydie, you worry too much!" she tutted as if I'd imagined the whole thing.

I was handed a purple dress, black tights and black shoes by her.

"Here put these on quickly" she instructed me.

I stood there confused with the items in my hand.

"QUICKLY!" my mum shouted, making me jump.

"Why?" I asked, chewing my lip, "What's going on?"

My mum let out an annoyed sigh and rushed over to me, pulling my top over my head.

Newsflash mum: I'm nearly 18, not 3.

I wriggled out of her grasp and put the dress on myself.

She was now smiling at me excitedly... almost manically.

"We are going out for a meal with the Sykes" she exclaimed, looking at me as if I should start jumping for joy at this news.

"The who?" I questioned her.

My mum tutted at me again, shaking her head.

"The Sykes! You know their son Brian and I speak to Linda Sykes whenever I see her and I saw her at the nail salon this morning and told her about you and Brian and your blossoming romance and we agreed that we should all go for a meal"
