Take a Chance

My POV:
Being one of Justin's backup dancers, I always felt like, well, backup. Whenever I saw him all I could talk about was work, and the dance routines. I am so lame! I have always liked him but he keeps giving me mixed signals. For example, one night after a concert I was hanging with the other dancers, he came up and asked if he could talk to me alone. I thought "Oh boy this is the night he is gonna make his move" Nope. I was wrong yet again. He said "Great show tonight. But your entrance was a little weak for "Love Me". You were kind of flimsy. Sharper movements and it would have been perfect."
"Oh. Right. I guess I was not feeling it tonight. Thanks for the feedback. I'll try harder next time. Maybe you and me could work on it sometime?" I said trying to hide the fact that I was really disappointed.
"No sorry kiddo can't, really busy, you know the usual stuff."
I didn't really like that nickname. It made me feel so much younger than him. It also made me feel really weak and kind of unimportant but what was I going to do. I could not tell him how I felt because what if he didn't feel the same way, but I couldn't stand not telling him the truth. So I said "Oh. That's okay. I understand."
"I knew you would. You are just awesome like that."
I walked back to the other dancers and they acted like nothing happened. They saw the look on my face and knew better than to ask. They talked for a while longer and then we all headed for the buses on our way to the next location. It's a good thing Justin and I are on two different buses. I don't think I could stand to see him.
Justin's POV:
"What happens if I tell her? What happens if she doesn't feel the same way? What if she turns me down? All these questions and no answers! This is torture!" I thought to myself. "Her smile, her eyes, her laugh. She is perfect and I am to chicken to tell her how I feel! I bet she hates me. I came across like such a jerk, back at the concert!"
As we drove on, it was all I could think about." I would give her everything. She was only a bus away." Just then my mom walked into the back room.
"Honey I thought you were sleeping."
"I just can't fall asleep."
"Is something on your mind? You want to talk about it?"
"Well there is a girl that I like, and she is really great. But I don't want to tell her anything, because I don't want to look like an idiot if she turns me down."
"Well hun' if you really like this girl you will tell her how you feel."
"Okay… I will… Later though…"  She walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. I was not really looking forward to telling her. I was just fine crushing on her silently.
Still Justin's POV (Early Next Day): I fell asleep thinking about how I was going to ask her out on a date, and came up with a solution in a dream. I was going to call her and ask her that way if she turned me down, I did not have to see the look on her face.
My POV:  (next day)
Luckily we didn't have a show so I spent my afternoon spending time with my best friend. I always missed her while I was on the road but while she was on Winter Break I found time to bring her on tour. We spent the day on the bus and talked about what was going on at my old school. I guess time flys when you are having fun because before we knew it she had to go back to her hotel. When she left I got into my pajamas, and started to watch a movie.
Sometime around 8:30 my phone rang and Justin's picture showed up as the caller ID. I heisted at first but I realized that he wouldn't be calling unless it was of some importance.
"Hello?" I started
"Oh hi… uhhhh….. uhhhh" I heard Justin stutter. The phone made a small clicking noise, and the line went blank. "Well that was strange" I said to myself. I finished my movie and went to bed.
Justin's POV:
"Why did I hang up??? "Why did I stutter? That's was sooo stupid!!!" I said "Oh forget it I will just talk to her after the concert tomorrow!"


My POV: (Next Day After Concert)
We had an awesome show. The vibe coming from the audience was amazing! We were all standing around back stage patting each other on the back for a show well done. Scooter made an announcement and that's when it happened. Justin wasn't standing to far from me, and he was inching his way closer. I didn't really pay attention, but before I knew it Justin had grabbed my hand spun me around and kissed me right on the lips. I tried to push him away but his grip was to strong. I was stunned at first but I relaxed and just let it happen.
