Emilia’s Mum
“That’s great darling,”
Emilia’s Mum
“your father and I miss you very much.”
Emilia
“But I moved here because I have to be a star.”
Emilia’s Mum
“I know darling, just a bit sad to not have you around.”
Emilia’s Mum
“We’ll always take you back with open arms, remember honey.”
Emilia
“Yeah mum, I have to go love you.”
Emilia’s Mum
“Oh ok, love yo-“
J stares from across his window, trying to make out what was being said.
J
Why talk in a dance studio?
Store Clerk
“Is that all sir?”
Store Clerk
( He never gets more than this.. it has to be bad for his health. )
Store Clerk
“That will be $9:45.”
Store Clerk
“Um sir, can I ask you something?”
Store Clerk
“It’s just that.. You never buy anything but a can of spaghetti and water every few days.”
Store Clerk
“That can’t be good for you.”
Store Clerk
“No I guess, but you could answer.”
J
“I don’t have an answer.”
J
“Thank you for your service.”
J then began to travel back to his apartment
But with a quick glance he makes eye contact with someone from across the street
It seemed she had a giggle at that
He took a deep breath and continued upstairs to his room
He sat in his room and became curious
What was it about this girl that made his heat beat faster
He cracked his blind down slightly
So elegantly dancing across the floor
her hair swaying to every movement
he quickly let go of the blind and took a breathe as he felt himself blush
What kind of magic effect did she possess?
Episode 2
J was having trouble getting to sleep as per usual
his mind began to wonder about the dancer not so far away
He cranked the blind to peek to the outside
To his surprise the lights of her apartment were on
And why would she have the window open at this time of night?
J decided to snoop in on the conversation
Slowly opening his window
Emilia
“I don’t know what to do Belinda!”
Emilia
“She’s is way better then me!”
Emilia
“She’s gonna ruin my career..”
Belinda
“You’re an amazing dancer!”
Belinda
“I’m sure you’re over reacting..”
Emilia
“No I’m not! She’s gonna win and I’ll have to move back with my parents as a complete failure!”
Her eyes began to tear up
Belinda
“Just keep going i’m sure you’ll overcome this.”
Emilia
“...Look her up, her name is Selene Lance.”
Belinda does what Emilia saids but so does J
Emilia
“See! Admit it! She’s better then me! She’s a winner and I’m a failure!”
Tears were flowing down her face
Selene Lance ~ 24 ~ Up rising star in the dancing community ~ Known for her performances in the theatre last year ~ It is said she is getting back in the competition game now ~
J
( How could this women hurt her so deeply )
Belinda
“Emilia please pull yourself together, it’s getting late I have to go.”
Emilia
“Yeah I get it.. Um, see ya.”
Emilia sat against her wall wiping her tears
J was in line for a coffee at a small cafe close by
J
“One iced coffee please.”
Cafe Worker
“Coming right up!”
She was so much prettier up close
Emilia
“I knew it was you!”
Although he noticed her eyes were puffy and swollen
Emilia
“It’s good to finally meet my neighbour.”
Emilia
“Did you ever want to hang out sometime?”
Cafe Worker
“Sir, your coffee is done.”
Emilia
“What were you saying?”
Episode 3
J sat at the end of his bed
Him and Emilia had set up a time to meet downstairs
The sun was going down and the stars were rising
J adjusted his tie and headed downstairs
Emilia
“There you are, I couldn’t see you at first.”
Emilia
“..Why are you hiding behind that bush?”
She lets out a laugh making J smile
J
“I was just waiting for you is all.”
Emilia
“Well are you ready to go?”
They arrived to a restaurant
They have a table for two
Emilia
“So, what are you doing in london?”
J
“I’ve been here since I was little.”
Emilia
“So where are your parents now?”
J
“You like to dance right.?”
Emilia
“Yes! Oh my it’s everything to me!”
J
“When did u start dancing?”
Emilia
“I’m hoping this will be my big break and I’ll be seen by the world.”
J smiles to himself as he sees Emilia’s face light up upon talking about her passion
and then all of the sudden
Emilia
“I- sorry! I’ve just got a lot on my mind tonight..”
Emilia
“...Well in order to pursue my dreams I have to win a competition.”
Emilia
“But there is this girl.. She’s much more advanced than I am. It’s most likely she’ll win and I’ll have to move back hone as a failure..”
J
“You are no failure Emilia.”
J
“I promise everything will work out.”
Emilia
“You seem like a good guy J.”
Emilia
“Let’s meet again on another night.”
Emilia
“For now I think I’m going to go home, get some sleep.”
J
“Oh ok, I’ll talk to you soon-“
Suddenly Emilia surprised J was a quick kiss and a stride away
He then tried to compose himself as he was blushing
It was late as J watched the ceiling
He replayed the night over and over again
thinking of every little detail about her
the way her lips folded as she smiles
her eyes fluttering releasing tears...
Crying tears because of those who bring her pain
because of that person to make her feel like a failure
J
“I will never let you feel pain again Emilia.”
J
“I promise, till death do us part.”
