Performance is everything (on hold for a little)

Day 2/3 competition

Octavia p.o.v 

This morning Lilly and I were called into studio A to learn our duet which I'm excited about. "Morning girls." Abby says "Morning." Lilly an I say "So your dance is entitled 'the flag' you have to be very very precise and in sync otherwise it's going to be a disaster. Lilly this is going to challenge you I want to see you keep up with Octavia and she doesn't take no slackers." we both nod our heads but she's staring at Lilly like 'don't mess this up otherwise I'll have your head'.

"I'm excited to learn a duet with Octavia, but i cant miss this up Octavia has an unbeatable record with duets they have never lost so I'm hoping I can be apart of that." Lilly says to the camera with a smile on her face "I know you can do it, Aphrodite and Octavia know you can do it. so stop worrying." Stacey says

"Lilly better not mess this up, I want her to prove to me that she can keep up with the best of the best and that's Octavia. Lilly she has the talent but she's been making mistake after mistake, and dancers at the Abby Lee Dance Company don't make mistakes." Abby says 

"I've got faith in Lilly she needs to have confidence she's been lacking in that department, so I'm hoping after this dance she has it back I also wonder her knowing that Elliana is back is going to push her?" i say "I'm hoping that she doesn't get overwhelmed with dancing with you. Your just nuts when your dancing." Mom says 

"Lilly start centre stage, Octavia stage right run to her one hand on the stick lift it up then smack bang on the ground then throw it backwards. Since there is a height difference Octavia stand behind her i want you to snap her head up then shoulders back. Good now Octavia i want you to take your right hand and stab her in the chest Lilly place your hand on top of hers, take a right step towards the audience in sync turn to the side." 

Now go both go into a back bend so Octavia your going to need to get lower if possible? nice" around 15 minutes later "Now this needs to be on point  there needs to be a space between yous Lilly move over to the left a little more good, I want you both to pirouette now on the 3rd spin both bring up your right leg for 2 spins and you should both be facing the back, now go." 

out of the corner of my eye i see Lilly fall out of the turn and slip she lands on her hip i wince. " Lilly oh Jesus that's what happens when our no paying attention. " Abby says I wave Stacey down as Lilly is in tears "Octavia go with her grab an ice pack and make sure she's okay." Abby says while Stacey picks her up 

Aphrodite p.o.v

Sitting in 'mommy jail' in our usual spots we're all watching Lilly and Octavia  learn the duet. "Stacey do you think that Lilly can keep up with Octavia?" Joanne asks this bitch always ready to start shit. "I know for a fact that Lilly can keep up with Octavia thank you very much Joanne." Stacey says 

"I know she can as well i just hope she doesn't put to much pressure on herself." I say  all of a sudden we see Lilly land on her hip, I take in a sharp breath  'Oh my god' 'Is she okay' 'Jesus' the other moms says Octavia waves Stacey down to get Lilly. 

"I hope she's okay otherwise someone else is going to have to fill in her position for the duet." Ashely  says  "Yeah maybe I know Sarah  would be ecstatic  to do a duet with Octavia i mean who wouldn't." Michelle says "I just hope Lilly is okay and able to dance so hopefully it doesn't come to that." I say  "So are you saying that our girl aren't good enough to do a duet with her." Ann arks up Jesus 

"No they are good enough to do a duet but Lilly and Octavia have been wanting this since the season started. So don't try and put words in my mouth you don't like it when the others do that thank, you very much" I say these women are frustrating me to no end. Stacey finally comes back "How is Lilly ?" I ask out of concern "Yeah she's fine, hips a little sore but she'll be okay to do both dances." Stacey says I want to smirk and look all smug but i can't.
