It was night two of 'The Nutcracker' and you had no more nerves. That was normal for you, the first performance always had you the most tense but afterwards, you'd be fine. Before the doors were even opened for the public you were talking backstage with Andre and Elora. You thought about telling them how Atsumu Miya drove you to your car yesterday.
Not that it meant anything but it was appreciated. You knew that if you told them they'd jump to conclusions and you didn't wanna hear any of that. "I'm so excited for this performance I have to do so much better than yesterday's," Andre said while applying powder to his face.
"I can't wait to meet your family Andre," you said excitedly, "We do get to meet them right?" you add on with furrowed brows. "Of course, my sisters have been looking forward to meeting you guys."
You and Elora exchanged smiles at his words and then the brunette girl stopped and widened her eyes. "That reminds me, Y/n, my parents asked if you wanted to join us for dinner after the show," she told you and your heart felt so full.
"That's really sweet Elora, but I'm probably gonna go home and call my dad and talk to him about the show like normal." you smiled apologetically. "It's okay, I'll let them now. They're still going to be excited to see you."
Unlike Andre's family, you had met Elora's family a few times. They had been able to come to all of her shows because her family was wealthy. They owned some company in Canada, you weren't sure what it was for but whatever it was, it sure made them a lot of money.
"Alright everyone the doors are opening let's get moving!" Emiko came backstage clapping her hands and shouting to inform everyone. At that, the three of you quickly left Andre's dressing room and headed to the left stage.
The performance went on the same as yesterday except a few dancers made mistakes--you were an exception to that thankfully. But you knew that those who made mistakes would be getting an earful from Emiko tomorrow.
When everyone walked on stage to bow at the end of the performance Emiko pulled you aside and asked you to go by yourself last. You were confused by her request but didn't question her and waited your turn. Finally, when your turn came you walked with your held high across the stage before facing the audience and bowing.
The applause was loud and you were smiling from ear to ear as you stared out into the audience and that was when you saw him in the front row. Your eyes locked with the e/c eyed man in the audience and your eyes started getting watery. Your dad was sitting in the front row, a bright smile on his face and a bouquet in his hands.
You started breaking down in tears and dropped to the ground to bow to your dad and the applause went on for longer. You were sobbing into the ground now and you felt the presence of people come up behind you and someone kneeled beside you.
