(Totally am not watching Step Up while writing this)

They say dreams are only a way to avoid the responsibilities you normally have in life.

My mother used to scowl me for dancing in my room instead of doing my homework.

I remember thinking about how I would bow after a huge performance on stage. I practiced in the mirror.

Now. I was sitting on a rock. Looking at the ocean. Tearing brimming my eyes. I put everything I had into a audition. I needed that spot. It was into a dance school. It was my chance. I was rejected because they were worried about my health. I have had three surgeries for my left knee. And the doctors said I should quit dancing. So the school said no. I glanced down at my phone.

Y/N. How did the audition go?

I heard from your mom the news. Are you okay?

Best Bruh<3

Obviously you aren't. Where are you you aren't home. Your mom told me to search for you.

Bambi. Where are you?

Bambi was the weird nickname my best friend Shawn gave me back in elementary. I sighed and set my phone down, deciding ignoring him was best. I glanced down at my little shoes I didn't even change after my audition. I just walked out. Texted my mom the simple 'no' and left. That's when angry came to me. I got up. And started to dance.

'We don't want you to get hurt'

You will send men to get shot in war. But not let a girl do what she loves! I thought. and kicked in the air. I spun and twirled. But I might get hurt?! Oh honey me getting hurt is the least of my worries. I ran and jumped. The short feeling of being free. Wind rushing past my face. I landed and spun. Soon. I was put of breath. I stared at the ocean.

"You were always the best dancer," I heard from behind me. I didn't say anything knowing who it was. I sat down still facing the blue scenery. I felt a presence sit next to me. Silence captivated us at first. I gulped the threatening urge to cry away. "They are stupid for not wanting you. Y/N," He said. I didn't reply. I didn't dare look at him. "Come on.. Bambi. I know you want me here. You wouldn't have come to the spot only I know about if you didn't," he said in a plead. I turned to him.

"This was my one shot Shawn. No school will take me if the school I tried for tells them all. Which they will. I'm done," I said. Stop tearing up Y/N! Keep your cool!

"Y/N. I'm sure someone will take you. And there is other ways to do dance even if it isn't professional," Shawn explained.

"This all I worked for. I have to have this Shawn!" I stood. He stood with me. He grabbed my hands as I started to breath heavier. "This is all I know Shawn," I said.

"You can still dance Y/N. You can do anything," He said softly. I glanced at him. Then he smiled his normal goofy smile. "Dance with me?" He asked. I rolled my eyes, a slight smile appearing. "I knew I could break you," He grabbed my hand and spun me. I laughed. He let me twirl and pulled me back into his chest. I bit my lip and hugged him.

"Thank you,"

"Anytime. Bambi,"
