Chapter 9

"Dress tech." Cameron shouted towards the living room. I looked at him from my seat at the kitchen table, he glanced at me, just waiting,

"Time?" Max replied, Cameron smiled.

"Noon." He replied then came to sit opposite me to finish eating his breakfast,

"Rehearsals over then?" I asked, Cameron nodded slowly to me.

"Show opens the first week of December." He said, I nodded back to him.

"And the run?" I queried as I flicked the lid of the shake bottle open and closed, Cameron sighed.

"Are you okay?" He asked, I shrugged.

"We got put into a list. Kian sent me it" I said, Cameron laughed so I looked directly at him, he covered his mouth.

"Sorry, I was just having school memories." He said, I frowned at him then shook my head.

"I'm a pretty sorry number." I said, Cameron smiled.

"I usually came ninth out of twelve." He said, then raised an amused eyebrow back at me. "Your placement on a list doesn't define your worth." He said, I shrugged again. "And you've had a pretty crappy term, no?" He said, I nodded, because I really had.

"Don't tell Max." I said, Cameron frowned at me,

"Why?" He whispered, so I looked down,

"I don't want to disappoint him." I muttered, Cameron nudged my hand with his,

"You Jacob would never disappoint Max. Max is the proudest of you I've ever seen. You got into the National Ballet School, and that is amazing, oh and he's also usually pretty proud that you can dress yourself, feed yourself and go the toilet on your own." He said, I laughed.

"You guys didn't get me through toddlerhood." I said, he smiled back at me.

"No, but Max loves you so much he might as well have birthed you himself." He said, I looked into my bowl to smile, then up as Max came into the kitchen.

"You said noon, right?" He asked, Cameron nodded back to him. "Dress tech." He repeated, Cameron nodded again,

"Come sit, eat something." Cameron said pointing at the chair between us, Max sighed. "Sit. Eat. There's nothing to do, or nothing that you can do." he said, then laughed, "I love your neurotic self but... To an extent."

"I'm not neurotic." Max said pointing at his chest as he sat down,

"I'm on Max's side here." I said, Cameron laughed loudly.

"Well, I'm not surprised." He stated, I laughed then bit my lip.

"Oh, you made him laugh. Bonus points." Max said, Cameron winked back at him.

"Can I come to your rehearsal?" I asked looking between them, as they looked at each other. "Just to watch." I added, Max spoke to Cameron with just his expression, I still hadn't completely cracked their expression code yet.

"Yes." Max said, "it might be good for you." He added, I nodded to him then drank from the shake bottle.

I sat between them in the stalls as their director sat on the end of the stage, he spoke exactly like I imagined a theatre director would, he spoke as if he had a dream. All that he was missing was a silk scarf and a melodramatic backstory.
