Chapter 1

Ballet was my escape. I would twist and twirl and do fouettes en tournant, pirouettes, and arabesques till my mind could think of nothing else. I would only work on the next turn the next step. Don't think about what will happen when I would get home. Don't think about how your mother will pretend you don't exist so that she doesn't have to acknowledge what will happen at night. And definitely don't think about what will happen at night, how your step father's hands will wander where they shouldn't, how his heavy breath will stink of alcohol, and how your body will jerk every time he will slam into you. STOP!

Urgh. I come to a stop and slide into my stretches, I have been apart of the Russian Ballet since I was 16, I was now 18 with my birthday right around the corner. I was a so called 'prodigy'. Yeah right. More like ballet was my life and the only out I had so it's all I would ever work on. And now my 'dear loving' mother wants me to come home for the holidays, saying my little sister misses me and how I've been so distant lately.

Ok, so I miss my little sister as well, but I highly doubt my mother cares about me being so distant lately. Which means they're probably having my grandparents over and need me so we can pretend to be one big happy family...as if. But she threatened to tell the Russian Ballet instructors that I was sleeping with a teacher, which I'm not, but even a hint of such a travesty would get you thrown out with no backwards glance. As I had just gotten the lead role in our two most recent performances and was being considered for the summer performances of the red shoes I had to have a spotless record. Which she knew.

So I would go home and play nice but I have saved enough money to get a hotel room which I insisted I use as I want nothing to do with my scum bag of a step father. Either way I was only staying one night then it was back to Russia for me, thank goodness.

AN: Short and not so sweet lol either way I'm uploading next chapter as well so I hope I haven't scared you away yet
