Go live your way Part 2

Ohne Titel Teil188

The time until Saturday passed quickly. Both boys and Zoe noticed that Mia was nervous. She refused to be picked up by bus, she wanted to go with Alvaro and the others.

Knowing the location, she went to the changing rooms. Lupe had announced loudly that she would not be there. Of course, she hadn't skimp on comments. But Mercedes would be there.

She was alone in the locker room. She went through the song in her mind. Again and again. She knew him inside out. She scolded herself for being scared. She had always found her strength. As Alvaro said, even when Lupe gave her the paternity test before her performance. There was a knock.

When she opened the door, Juanma was standing in front of her. He just looked at her and took her in his arms. "So bad," he asked. Mia said nothing and returned the hug. "Worse?" he said with a slight grin and pushed her away from him. "Hey the song is breathtaking, you're breathtaking and you and the song together ... I don't have the words. You're going to rock this thing today."

"What if I blackout again, or stumble, or forget the text?"

"Did you ever forget the text? Did you ever you stumble? And the blackout? You saved it well. Mia, you are my rock when I'm on stage with you. One look at you is enough and I feel myself better. Your hand in mine when I sing my father's song makes me grow beyond myself. And now, Mia take this strength for you. I'll stand downstairs and look at you. Alvaro will be right next to me and adore you. And I swear he'll cry with emotion after your performance. "He grinned at Mia and Mia had to laugh.

"Well, I like that better." He took her in his arms again. " Do you need help?" asked he. "No, but please just stay here." Juanma nodded and she continued to get ready.

When she finished she turned to him and said "What are you saying?" "I hate to repeat myself, but I can only say breathtakingly."

Mia smiled and took him in her arms. "Thanks Juanma. Will you still go up to the stage with me?"

"Of course." said Juanma "Alvaro and Zoe are waiting there too." Mia smiled again. She took Juanma by the hand and went with him to the stage. Alvaro took her in his arm. He smiled at Juanma and mouthed a silent "thank you".

Juanma went to Zoe and said "Leave them two a moment" then he pulled her to the audience area.

"Everything ok" asked Alvaro. "You sent Juanma, right?" she asked while she nodded. "I'm sure he would have come by himself, but yes. I thought he was the only one who knew what you were feeling. And your connection ..." "Thank you. He really helped me."

"I knew that. And now go in, they announced you. Go on stage and have fun"

He kissed her and let go of her hand.

She curtsied towards the audience. The first tones rang out and Mia closed her eyes. There she was, her mother. She was right in front of her and whispered "Come on my little one"

She found the first words all by herself and the song went through by itself. She saw Ramiro, she saw Isabel, who hid her face briefly on Ramiro's shoulder. She saw Juanma with his thumbs up and smiling at her, Zoe winked at her and Alvaro ... Juanma was right, Alvaro had tears in his eyes. She perceived these impressions, but could only remember them later. When the song ended, she bowed to the thunderous applause of the audience and held Alvaro's gaze.

When she got to her locker room, Juanma, Alvaro, and Zoe also showed up almost immediately. Alvaro took her in his arms. He gave her a long kiss and said "I don't have the words to describe it." Juanma gave her a squeeze too and said, "I kept my promise, you made Alvaro cry. "He and Mia laughed." What do you mean with  promise ". Zoe and Alvaro said as if from the same mouth.

"I told Mia that you would be a softie with this song" laughed Juanma.

"How many are left until the points are awarded?"asked Mia

"Two , of which the first should be ready soon." said Alvaro. "We'll stay here until you have to get out," said Zoe.

She didn't have to wait very long. There was a knock and she should be ready. Alvaro, Zoe and Juanma accompanied her to the stage. Antonio was back, singing one of the other solos. "Hey there you are again. Mia right" he said and smiled at her. Mia nodded.

They had to go in and Antonio wanted to take her by the hand. Mia pulled her hand away. She gave Alvaro a quick kiss and smiled at Juanma and Zoe, then went inside,

The moderator said a few more words about the soloists and then said "The highest or lowest points first." The word "highest" was heard the most and the moderator said "Ok, so the highest points ... and I hardly dare to say it ... the soloist from the school of St . Maryyyyy has with 10 the most points. Miaaaaaa Carceres "

Antonio, who had held Mia's hand tight just before the announcement, let go of her hand and took her in the arms. He was just behind Mia with 9 points. He looked at Mia and congratulated her.
They jumped both in the air.
When all the points were mentioned, the moderator said "Do you want to hear Mia again". The audience clapped. He gave the micro to Mia and Mia said "Yo Soy quien soy". When the first notes were played, Mia began to sing and enchanted the audience a second time.
