Being a ballerina takes a lot of hard work and endurance but being me takes much much more....... Weeks passed by turning into months and before I knew it, I was practicing for the last time because the first competition was tommorow, everyone was so excited including me, we could only invite three people and I invited my mom and nichole, they both told me that they'll be there, I tried Inviting my dad but he never picked up his call and his shop was always closed when I went there, Anna and connor were already invited by chloe, I didn't talk to connor after that day, honestly the pain of him leaving me made me slightly mad at him

"Yeahhhhhhhh, we look perfect, we are definitely going to win that thing, Tracy good work just focus and practice when you get home okay? " mrs belle said and I nodded with a smile and left first, I went straight home and took a shower and laid on my bed...then my stomach started to growl in hunger and I decided to ignore it but when I couldn't take it anymore I pulled out my syringe and injected myself, my mom bought it for me years ago when I first had bulimia , she said if I can't eat at least I can inject the food into my system, it hurt but it's better than starving to death, I laid on my bed and prayed to God to take this stupid bulimia away and that I would perform well tomorrow .

We arrived at the competition and the six of us stared at the place in awe... it was beautiful and huge, it was a little far away from home but it was amazing nevertheless, Mrs belle has probably been there lots of times because she didn't even look thrilled by the buildings beauty, we walked in and a dark skinned beautiful lady walked towards us

"Mrs belle's dance academy i assume?" she said

"Yes I'm Mrs belle, the teacher " mrs belle said and the lady smiled

"I'm Tara and I'm the coordinator and you people are slightly late, the competition has already begun " she said taking us backstage and we followed "You guys will stay here till its your time to perform " she said with a smile before walking away, there were many other dance schools backstage, they all looked ready and prepared, I decided to take a peek at the stage and my heart skipped at the number of people seated watching ....and the judges didn't look so nice either, the school that was performing were good but not so good

"Tracy go over to that corner and rehearse" mrs belle said pulling me away, I smiled and went to the corner away from them and started rehearsing, my heart was beating so fast, I was scared but I swallowed it up and started practicing, I practiced for some minutes before coming to sit with mrs belle and the others

"Your on in three minutes " tara said and we nodded, it was clear that all of us were nervous, including the almighty chloe... in waiting I picked up my phone and called my mom

"Hey mom, we are about to perform are you here yet ?" I ask excited

"Tracy I'm not coming " she said and my heart sank

"Why . ....but.... but you promised you'll be here, your my only family you need to be here "
I say and my lip quivered

"I don't need to do anything tracy, I'm busy I'll talk to you later " she said and cut the call

"Your on in a minute" tara said, then we started changing into our costumes, I stopped when I noticed my shoes where missing, I was a hundred percent sure I brought them

"Where are you? " I say and empty my dance bag, that's when I saw chloe giggling
"Chloe did you carry my shoes "
I say more than ask and she shrugged
"Give them back...now! " I say slightly yelling and standing up to face her

"Your up " tara said and my heart raced

"So sad,what to do? you can't dance barefoot, but don't worry.... I'll take the solo " she said walking to the stage
