As she entered the school's auditorium she texted Liam as she said she would have.

Charming: I'm here. I'm really nervous.

Immediately after the text was sent her phone rang.

"Hello?" She answered shakily.

"Hello Beautiful; you're going to be great, don't worry. I know you've got this; I believe in you. Just do what you always do; get lost in it."

Exhaling slowly she nodded, "Okay, okay. Get lost in it; got it. Thanks Charming."

"I've got you. I'll see you after the show Beautiful. I've got to find a good seat before it's all gone."

"Okay, thanks again Charming and I'll see you then." She replied before peering through the back drop of the stage; where she had walked to while on the phone with Liam.

Looking around she took in the transformation of the auditorium. Every wall was decorated with a different color scheme yet they blended wonderfully.

On the first wall to the right of the entrance was a black and pink theme with a pink flower in a glass bottle being the main focus in contrast to the black background. This was followed by a photo of a microphone with blurred lights surrounding it.

On the opposite walls, a music sheet laid on the keys of a white piano on the first one and the other portrayed the elegance of a ballerina adorned in a white and gold tutu as she pirouetted.

As she drew her eyes away from the walls she was suddenly overwhelmed as she finally took notice of the much filled and still filling auditorium.

After a little searching her eyes zoned in on her group of friends but what shocked her a bit was seeing Liam and Daniel sitting together.

This should be interesting. Who are you, Charming? She thought as she bit her lip while turning towards the stage crew.

"Hey I'm Alexis Jones, do you know when I'll be performing?" She inquired from a member of the stage crew whom had the name tag Jade.

"Alexis...yes; you're the fifth performer. I wish you all the best!" She exclaimed before hurrying off.

"Thank you," she mumbled.

Feeling a bit light headed she began some breathing exercises as she walked slowly back and forth. This however didn't seem to be helping as she felt as if her black crop top and matching black shorts tighten on her body.

"Breathe, just breathe." She heard as she felt a pair of muscular arms wrap around her tiny figure from behind which sent a hot tingling feeling up and down her spine.

Pivoting in the stranger's arms of whom she was now face to chest with, she looked up, only to be mesmerized by a smiling Liam.

"Hello Beautiful." He whispered to which her heart soared before plummeting just as quickly.
