The Life Of Unwanted Jonases
Chapter 7
**Alex's POV**
After we ate lunch with the boys, the final bell rang and I grabbed my backpack and my other bag. What was in the other bag? My dance shoes. Tap, ballet, and jazz. Dancing had been my way to just escape my life. It's been working. I walked out of the school and began walking down the next few blocks to my dance school.
Aaron ran to me.
"Hey Alex. Wanna go to the movies Friday?" Aaron asked.
"Um, no, I can't."
"Oh, maybe some other time then." Aaron frowned and slowly walked away.
I had an idea. "Wait, I'll go with you." I replied.
"Awesome! Pick you up at 8!" He grinned and left.
I sighed and walked over to the school. When I got in, I put on my ballet shoes and put my Martina McBride CD in. I turned it to my fave track, "Do It Anyway". When the song started, I began dancing. The song played. I mouthed out the words, the words that reflected my life.
You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love em anyway
God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway, yeah,
You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway, yeah, yeah
I sing
I dream
I love anyway, yeah.
Around the next-to-last verse of the song, I dropped to my knees to finish my dance. Tears poured out of my eyes. I knew I was crying because of my crappy life. No parents, no brothers. They're there in body, but not in their old happy personality. Jessica is my only family. And I swear to God, soon, we will escape this.
