One Last Dance

i've wanted to leave for so long

but i keep finding reasons why i love this place

are they lies i've told myself to get me through it?

or are they true.

well now it doesn't matter does it?

_____

"i'm already sad and we haven't even gotten into the building yet" i say

"it's gonna be a long week" Maddie says

we get to the studio and mom just has so much Abby Lee merch

"well i'm a Abby Lee supporter today" mom says

"you cleaning out your closets Melissa are you getting rid of all your Abby Lee stuff so you can start fresh and clean" Jill laughs
"so what do you wish for this week?" Jess asks

"just a good week with everyone, hopefully we have some really good dances and i also hope that Abby doesn't scream at any of us" Maddie says

"that's easy wishes" mom says

"very easy" Jess says

"and it will be nice going into the last week we could be on our absolute fabulous behaviour" Holly says

"we need to tell the mini moms that" Kendall says

"well they're nit really apart of the team" Holly says

"we just need to ignore them just saying" mom says

we go on in and go stretch in the dancers den

"i have a rule we can't cry until the competition" Kenzie says

"okay bet" i say

we all laugh

|Pyramid|
"okay let's go pyramid time, we were at Sheer Talent at francers California the only group routine that won were the minis" Abby says

we clap for the minis

"i thought it was fun i thought it was sassy so we're gonna do headshots tomorrow"

"so if you're doing headshots for the minis does that mean that they're a team?" Jess asks

"well they could be" Abby says

"but i don't think they can fully replace us because we were the originals" Maddie says

"we aren't trying to replace anybody though" Sari says

"so you think we just shouldn't replace you we should just throw in the towel cause you're throwing in the towel?" Abby asks

"she's not throwing in the towel? Maddies not throwing in the towel" mom says

"no no you don't whatever you want it's your team i'm saying like" Maddie starts

"she's saying and i agree there will never be another Maddie, Kayla and Mackenzie or Melissa like never" Jess says

"but there's other stars life goes on had Melissa had any one of her kids at the five studios within my studio these three kids
wouldn't be here right now i am the vehicle to get these kids from their average middle humdrum lives in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to the great white way and i did that" Abby says

i bite my lip

"on the bottom of the pyramid Brynn, you got third place"
