Chereads / Phantom Dancers / Chapter 11 - A Dreamer

Chapter 11 - A Dreamer

"Dude my sister is a frickin prophet or something."

"Why what happened?"

"She knows the reason I don't dance in front of people anymore and she seems to know my secret."

"Yeah... that might not be because she's a prophet." Brady replies awkwardly.

"What do you mean?" Jordan asks confused but with tones of anger while speculating what he means.

"I may have told Lydia stuff I got from your diary." Brady tried laughing it off.

"What the hell! Why did you do that?" Jordan now was completely angry.

"Because out of everyone you and I know. We both know that you listen to her the most. We all know how much you love dance so I was hoping she could get you to dance again."

"You know why I stopped dancing in the first place."

"You need to forget about Colby. He's long gone you need to move on. I know what happened then but also now is not then. If you dance for the sake of your love for dance maybe you'll see that. You need to remember you were dancing before you met him, you were dancing while he was around so why did you stop when he left." Brady took a deep breathe.

"I may have been dancing since before him but he was the one who made me feel like I was good at it. If he's gone who will encourage me?"

"I will. Lydia and Natasha too. Even your parents. Maybe your classmates once they see how good you are. You might get fans or become famous for it like you've literally always wanted. But you can't be famous for a talent people don't know you have. You have to expose yourself. Show the world who you are then make them remember your name."

"Remember when I first started dancing?"

"Yes, remember how you literally paused the movie and put it on in slow motion just so you could learn to dance as we were watching tv. Remember the feeling dance gave you the first time you preformed for people. Remember the time you danced before Colby."

"But what if I start only thinking about how Colby was there during all of my practices or something like that?"

"Then dance to make him regret leaving us. Leaving you. Dance to prove to yourself you don't need him by your side to be you. Show him you are still going strong. Do you know what you are?"

"What am I?"

"You're a dreamer. You're a dancer. A dancer with a phantom of a dream."

"You are the Phantom Dancer." Lydia walks in just in time to hear the last part.

"Lydia!" Both boys said surprised.

"Will you dance again?" Both Lydia and Brady look at Jordan, waiting for the answer to Lydia's question.

"Make me an outfit design that fits my new name I guess. I'll have Sidney make it. Maybe I will dance again but I need confidence first. So I'll hide my identity until I know people's true thoughts on "The Phantom Dancer" and if that gives me the confidence I need maybe one day I'll reveal myself."
