Chloe's POV

I smiled as I looked at myself in the mirror, I was dressed in my costume for the group trapeze act. It's styled sorta villain/superhero like , I'm the queen of hearts

*Chloe's outfit above tho she doesn't have a crown*

I loved my costume, I felt so amazing for some reason, holly was dressed as the evil queen, while Mitch and jack are superheroes, Mitch is superman while jack is ironman. Basically our trapeze act was holly and I running from them, my makeup and hair was still done the same way. The group trapeze act was the last preference of the night, sense the net has to be set up for it. The net was in the middle of being set up now, I stuffed up in rehearsals what if I stuff up now? In front of Ryan. I take a deep breath as I take a sip of water, it's fine. I've done this a thousand times.

"deep breath in, deep breath out" I tell myself as I calm myself down, why was I so nervous to preform in front of Ryan? Maybe because I don't want him to think I'm an idiot

"Chlo you okay?" Mitch asks coming over, I shake my head as my breathing gets heavier

"No" I whisper nervously

"Hey Chlo calm down, what's wrong?" He asks,I sigh as I shake my head

"I'm going to stuff up" I say nearly in tears, he watches me for a second confused

"Chloe, you've never worried on this stuff before" he tells me confused, I get why his confused. I'm never nervous

"I know, but r-Ryan's out there. If I stuff up he will think I'm an idiot" I stutter when I say Ryan's name, he smiles at me

"Chloe has a crush" he says excitedly as if he was a child, I sigh and roll my eyes

"No I don't" I whispered as I push him, he laughs

"If you didn't you wouldn't be so nervous, now we are wanted up on those beams soon so what can I do to help you feel better?" He asks making me shrug, I honestly had no clue on how to calm my nerves. I was so worried I'd stuff up and make Ryan think I'm an idiot, I didn't know how to calm down.

"Chloe you are amazing at what you do, go out there don't even think of him being there and be the best you can be" he tells me making me nod, I could do this, can't I?

"Ladies and gentlemen!" I hear my fathers voice, Mitch holds his hand out to me.

"Come on I'll help you get through this, as will the others" he says making me nod as I take his hand, I took a deep breath as we met jack and holly at the curtain

"For our final act I give you our group trapeze act" my father finishes making the crowd clap, holly and I go out first.  Sense we are the evil ones of the act, I smile nervously as I look over at Ryan.

Once I laid eyes on him it was like it was just him and I, I felt like we were practicing. Him and I up on the beam, I smiled as I climbed up onto the beam. Holly climbed up as well, the boys climbed up onto the other beam.

Ryan's POV

I watched as Chloe walked out in a queen of hearts costume, she looked absolutely adorable. Their act started and it was basically the boys chasing holly and Chloe as the swum around, soon Chloe let go of the bar and grabbed onto jacks hands as he hung by his legs, he swung her back then towards the bar again. Chloe lets go of his hands flips then grabs onto the bar swinging over to the beam, before holly does basically the same thing with jack, i can't imagine how strong these guys are. Hold themselves up plus a girl.

Soon enough their act ending with jack and Chloe on one beam and ally and Mitch on the other, Mitch jumps down. flipping in the air before landing on the net, he gets off the net as Holly jumps down. Spinning in the air before landing on the net, as part of the act Mitch pulls her gently off the net and wraps a cloth around her hands as If tying her up. I laugh as jack and Chloe start having a fake fight, he pushes her off the beam but I can tell Chloe jumped. Mitch pulled her off the net as everyone laughed, soon jack jumped down as Mitch tied Chloe's hands together

"And that is how you catch two queens!" Mitch yells making the audience laugh as they clap, I can't help but smile as Chloe laughs.

"These are tied very loosely" holly states before slipping the rope off her wrists and running, making jack go after her as he yells after her. The crowd laughs as holly waves before running out back. Jack waves as he follows, Mitch looks at Chloe and she stands up straight. Holding back her smile

"Your not about to" Mitch starts but stops when Chloe gets her hands untied

"Peace out" she says running as well, she waves to the crowd before running out back. The crowd continues to clap.

"Chloe!" Mitch yells and chases after her, I laugh as Bella and Charlie clap big smiles on their faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen I hope you enjoyed tonight's performance! We hope to see you next time at the hosterman circus!" A voice says and the crowd claps, that just wrapped up the show.
