"London?" she asked, I nodded.
She wrapped me in a hug. "CALEB, CALLIE, ETHAN, SUMMER AUTUMN" Brooke yelled.
She helped me inside and down ran her five kids, they were all way older than me. Summer and Autumn were 33, Ethan was 32, abd Caleb and Calle were 33. They all had wives or husbands and they each had kids.
"Guys and girls meet your sister, London" all of them hugged me again.
"Hey" I whispered.
"Do they live here?" I asked.
"Oh no, they're just visiting, their kids are all in dance and their wives or husbands are either working or at the studio" Brooke said.
"Wow" was all I could say.
"Do you want to go meet them?" Callie asked, I nodded.
"Yes please" I said.
"I'll drive you" Brooke said. I smiled.
"Thank you" I said.
When we arrived at the ALDC (They moved it to LA) I climbed out after Brooke. We both walked inside, I was nervous.
We walked inside Studio B and there was about 7 girls dancing.
"Hello Amanda" Brooke smiled.
"Stop dancing girls" Amanda instructed.
"Everybody this is my daughter London" Brooke said.
"London this is Abby, she is 14 and her twin Amy. This is Jasmine she is 12 and her twin Jennifer. This is Kaley and her twin Katherine, they are 13. And last but not least this is Isabelle she is only 10" Brooke introduced.
"Also we have a boy named Lewis, he's new and he'll be here tomorrow" Amanda said.
"Do you dance?" Amanda asked, I nodded.
"Well let's see what you've got" she said.
I smiled and threw my crop top off. I did my solo I had to learn for comp this weekend.
"Oh my goodness you are amazing" she gushed.
"Thank you" I smiled.
"Are you home schooled?" she asked.
"Yes, actually we are starting to film this TV show next week" I said.
"Wow I have my own TV show, actually they are filming this, but I'll have them edit this part out" she said, I nodded.
"So London how would you like to come to this studio, I make stars you know" she said.
"And you can live with me" Brooke said.
"I-I don't know this is a lot to take in" I said.
"I know it is sweetie but just consider it, I missed 14 years I don't want to miss anymore" Brooke said.
"Almost 15" I corrected her.
"Yeah I know" Brooke sighed.
"Please London, I want to get to know you" she said.
"Brooke, I mean Mom I'll consider it" I said.
"Please do" she said.
"Who have you made into a star?" I asked Amanda.
"I make Broadway stars" she said.
"I make Rockettes and actresses and actors" she explained, I nodded.
"Some people have even gone to the Joffrey Balley school" I smiled, that's my dream school.
I turned to Brooke. "I want to come here" I said, she smiled and wrapped me in a hug.
"Want to compete this weekend?" she asked, I shook my head no.
"I'll start next week" I smiled, she nodded.
"What?" I turned around and saw my family and dance team.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"We came early so you could practice with your team and Amanda is letting us use an empty studio" Paige said.
"Guys I'm sorry" I said.
"Save it what happened to family and friends"
"What happened to nobody comes before this dance team?"
I looked at the hurt faces on all my friends and family.
"Well answer this one question how would you feel if you realize your whole life had been a lie, that your parents aren't really your parents?" I asked, silence.
"Exactly, none of you know what I am going through, but guys I still love you more than anything, I just need to be with my real parents now" I said.
"I'm so sorry, I love you all I really do, but I need this" I said, my friends and family engulfed me in a hug.
"We aren't going to this competition anymore" My old coach said and walked out.
"Goodbye" The rest of my family and friends walked out.
"Amanda I'll be back in a week" I said, she smiled and nodded, I walked out of the studio with Brooke.
"Brooke, I mean Mom where's my real Dad?" I asked.
"He's in the army and London you don't have to call me Mom yet" she said, I smiled.
When we arrived back at her house, we both walked inside, I saw some guy in an army uniform standing there.
"No fucking way" Brooke yelled, running and jumping on the man.
Just then two little girls, who looked about 8 ran down yelling Daddy. I smiled, they must be her other two daughters.
When they all finally let go, I smiled. "Nolan, this is London" Brooke said.
"I can't believe my eyes" Nolan ran and hugged me.
"You have grown so much" he said.
"London meet your other sisters, Mia and Mya, they're both eight" Brooke smiled.
"We have to go to dance" they yelled.
"Sweetie your Dad just got here" Brooke said.
"I can take them" I volunteered.
"Thank you so much" Brooke said.
"It's not a problem and I'm just going to watch them a little while" I said.
"While you're gone I'll contact Paige and tell her to send down the rest of your stuff" I nodded and walked out of the house.
I walked my two sisters to dance and they ran into the dancers den. I walked into Studio A, where Amanda was teaching the elite team and other students.
"London you're back already?" Amanda asked.
"Well I was just dropping Mia and Mya off, I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude" I said.
"No it's fine, do you want to take classes today?" she asked.
"I would love to" I exclaimed.
I ran into the dancers den and threw my clothes off, revealing my dancewear.
