Hi! This is my first Dirty Dancing story, I do however have Outsiders fanfiction if you'd like to read that. You probably won't want to read that tho cuz I can't write very good! Anywho, I don't own Dirty Dancing and/or any of its characters. I do own Josh, who really isn't important right now, tho. Oh yeah, I'm not sure how much older Lisa was then Baby so I'm making her be two years older!
What if Baby and Johnny didn't stay in contact after the Housmann's left the Kellerman Resort? What if they didn't see each other for another three years? What would it be like when they met again? This is my story of how everything worked out and how it didn't work out.
****Baby's POV****
It was the summer of 1966. The summer we were going back to Kellermans. It had been three years since I was there, three years since I had fell in love, and three years since I had talked to Johnny Castle. Johnny Castle had been a dancer at the Kellerman's Resort and I had did the unforbidden with him. I had fell in love with him. Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to going to Kellermans.
I had been trying to avoid the fact that we were going to the resort until it crept right up on me. Everytime I thought about it my stomach started to do flips and my head started to hurt. It wasn't that I didn't want to see Johnny, I was just afraid of seeing him. Had he forgot about me? Would he even know who I was? Would Johnny even be there still or did he find another job? Maybe he opened a dance school? Or maybe he moved to broadway?
"Baby!" I heard the screeching sounds of my older sister, Lisa's, voice and I turned around. She was standing there, brushing her dark hair and looking in a handheld mirror. It was hard to believe that she never did outgrow the stage of staring at herself.
"What?"
"Wow, you can hear!" I looked at her, confusion filling my face. "I've been saying your name for the past minute and you didn't even glance at me."
"I'm sorry Lisa." I shook my head and sighed. I was wrecking my brain to much by worrying about Johnny. I'd just have to wait until I reached Kellermans to find out what was going to happen, besides I had a boyfriend already. "I was just thinking."
"About Johnny?" She wondered childishly. I laughed a little. Here she was a twenty-two year woman wondering if I was thinking about my ex, if that's what you would call him. Then again, it seemed funny to me that my family still called me Baby when I was twenty years old.
"No. Not about Johnny, about Josh." I lied. I hadn't thought about Johnny as much as I was now then I had in the past two years. I guess it was just the going to Kellermans that brought back old memories. Memories of dancing, memories of Johnny, and memories of being in love.
"Are you guys ready to go to Kellermans?" My dad came over to the car and put his luggage in the back and frowned when he saw the look on my face. "Baby, is something wrong?"
"No, daddy." I faked a smile and crawled into the backseat of the car along with Lisa.
"Are you going to miss Josh?" My dad wondered. "Is that why you look so upset?" My whole family, including Lisa, liked Josh. Surprisingly Josh had went out with Lisa first but then dumped her when he met me. He had asked me out and I was skeptical at first seeing as he actually went out with my sister. Once I said yes though,I realized that he was really cool and smart, and sweet, and funny. The only thing wrong with him was that he wasn't Johnny.
"Daddy, I'm not upset. I just," I searched frantically in my mind to come up with a lie. I couldn't tell him that I was thinking about Johnny. Even after we had danced together at the end of season my dad didn't like him very much. "I just have a headache. That's all. I'll be fine."
I leaned my head against the cold window and watched the rain slide down it. Wasn't summer supposed to be the season of heat? The season of sun? This summer sure wasn't. It had rained for three days flat so far and it was still raining. The raindrops made a satisfying pitter patter noise on the hood of the car as they practically beat the car to death.
These weren't little raindrops. They were raindrops like the ones that Johnny and I had encountered when he took me to the forest to get my balance on a log. I thought trying to get my balance on that piece of wood would be the hardest thing I'd ever have to do, but it wasn't, and now I know that.
These raindrops were like the ones that we had also encountered when we were going to the lake to practice the lift. The lift proved to be even harder then balancing myself on the log. At that point I thought the lift would be the hardest thing I'd ever have to do but now I know that it wasn't.
The hardest thing I'd ever had to do was leave Kellermans in 1963. I would have gave anything to stay there. To stay there and lay in Johnny's arms. To stay there and dance with Johnny. To stay there and feel Johnny's sweet lips on mine and to feel his warm touch on my face as he lightly grazed my cheek when he kissed me. Anything. Yes, I would have gave anything in the world to stay with him. I would have gave my last breath.
Something in my mind kept telling me, 'Frances, it's your second chance to be with him. Take it.' But, I just kept ignoring it. My second chance. My second chance for what? My second chance to be hurt? My second chance to have everything I've ever wanted only to see it ripped away from me?
No. I truly believe that there are no such things as second chances. If things are meant to be you don't need a second chance. Many people would say that I'm lying and being a loser for not believing second chances. And maybe three years ago I would have thought that too, but when I lost Johnny I lost a part of myself.
A/N~ That's the end of this chapter!! Tell me what you think please!! Did it suck? I personally think it sucked a lot!! I do have a plan for this story but I'm not going to continue it if it doesn't get reviews so yeah!! Is Baby out of character to much? Or is she ok?
