Let it hurt Let it bleed

Chapter 54

"Sierra wake up!" I heard someone say. I slowly opened my eyes. "Why are you on the floor?" Summer asked then I remembered everything that happened last night and started crying again. "Sierra, are you okay?" She asked and I shook my head. "Why? What happened?" She asked "dd Dad got everything I had that was from Ramin and burned it in front of me. He took my phone, told me I could never see him again and he beat Ramin up. Aand he said if I ever see him he will make it even worse." I sobbed "Well at least you can see him at school" she said but that made me cry even more as I shook my head "no they put me back into homeschooling I'm taking all my tests here ss sss summer ii iim never gonna see him again" I said and she hugged me I was still crying "it's ok Sierra" she tried to calm me "it's not okay all because we showed each other our love we can't see one another summer it's not fair" I sobbed into her arms ''I know Sierra I have to go or I'll be late" she said and let me go and walked out of my room I went downstairs to get some food I didn't feel like eating what was the point All I could do now was cry and study. I don't think I'd be sleeping or eating. I mean it would be useless. School isn't my life.

 I just got my Science book and started reading it. It kept on reminding me on how he would help me with my science homework and help me stay awake in every class which made me cry. "Sierra, can I come in?" My mom asked "yeah." I said softly. "Umm.. your musical theatre teacher called and told me you had to do your performance as your exam then you'd come home and take the rest at home." She explained. "So I'm going to school?" I asked "After Lunch, just for musical theatre. I'll be waiting in the parking lot. I told your teacher that as soon as you finish the principal will bring you to the car." She said. I nodded "mom my partner hasn't changed has it?" I asked "no honey that was the one thing I made your dad keep the same so you wouldn't go insane" she said "thank you" I said through tears and hugged her my next class was maths which I also couldn't stop thinking of him in and how I'd rest my head on his arm and he'd adjust making sure I was comfortable enough to stay awake but not really focus on the lesson all day in each lesson at home a memory came to me of what we would do in that class I had just finished English when my Mom called me for lunch 

That's when I realized we never even practiced it. I hope it would go well, I mean I memorize the steps in point of no return in the movie so I guess we'd do okay. I prepared myself as soon as my mom told me I would go to school for one class. I ate lunch then we went in the car and drove to school. "Thank you for this mom." I said "you're welcome honey." She replied then I went out of the car and straight to the classroom. I spotted Ramin who was looking lost. When he met my eyes he immediately smiled.

 "Sierra, you're here." He said. "Just for this subject." I said sadly. "Oh." He said. "We didn't practice for this." I said. "It's okay, let's just go with the flow." He said "are you sure this will go well?" I asked him and he nodded his head. We were the 5th performer. The other pairs performances were very quick so I got nervous once the fourth pair was performing. they were really good their chemistry was Perfect but somehow still seemed artificial then our names got called and I got nervous as I saw the set being placed on the stage I got more nervous because we were doing the movie version not the stage version or we were combining the two I wasn't really sure what was going to happen hopefully we'd just play off each other we got into costume and all my marks had gone which was good this dress was low cut though but it fit the song I got into my position and the music started

At first I was nervous about singing because I would be the one starting it then Ramin would enter in a while. Just hearing his voice gave me the strength to push through with the song and give it my all. My voice was shaking at the start of the little solo but as soon as he started to sing I was instantly calmed I looked into his eyes longingly as he sang then came behind me and gently grabbed my neck which was a decision he made on his own part he kept me in that position for a verse then switched it so he lead me holding his hand Once we finished walking to stage right he handed me a chalice which I didn't know he had. I held it with both of my hands and pretended to drink from it then wiped my lip seductively. As if I knew how that would look. He immediately grabbed my arm then we started moving backwards then he spun me around. He slowly moved to stage left leaving me behind. 

I walked to the table and got and apple. I went to a chair and started rubbing the apple on my dress to clean it. Still singing he snatched the apple from me before I could take a bite and placed it on the table before sitting behind me and slowly moving his hands up the dress I escaped him before he could touch them and started to sing with more confidence than I knew I had in me I took two steps backwards so I was leaning on the table then I got behind him he raised his hands and I laced my fingers in between them I moved our arms to the right, then left and moved both our arms open. After I placed my arms on his shoulder then ran to the other side of the table but felt him grab my arm and pull me to the middle of the stage. We stood there singing our lines. I acted as if I was thinking of something to do. Then removed the cloth covering his face. 

I looked at him and saw that his eyes were full of lust. he started singing the final verse of the song which was the first verse of all I ask of you I had to control myself we were on stage for god sakes then he got to the inevitable line "Christine that's all I ask of" then I ripped his mask off and dragged me off stage my breathing was heavy from the number and both our eyes were full of lust as we looked at each other and moved slightly closer he held my waist his hands burning through my skin as the fabric of the costume was very very thin
