Ophelia was now sitting in the dressing room with Ashlyn and Fallon, the three girls conversing about the play when Gina walked in. "Oh." Gina said, looking at Ophelia with surprise. She didn't expect the girl to be in there. "I should give you some space, shouldn't I?"

"No, not at all." Ophelia quickly said. She smiles reassuringly at Gina. "Gina, don't worry, okay? I'm not upset with you about what happened yesterday."

"Okay." Gina nods. "Sorry, I just felt bad and felt like I should give you space."

"Everything is fine between us and no space is needed." Ophelia smiles. She gestures to her to join her, Fallon, and Ashlyn. "So get over here and hang out with us."

Gina glances at the other two girls hesitantly as if she was asking them it was okay for her to join. Ashlyn and Fallon both nod and smile at her. Gina smiles and walks over to the three girls, taking a seat by them. "Okay," She sighs. "So I know now probably isn't the best time to say it, but my mom got a job in Luoisiana and I've never lived in Louisiana before, so I think I'm gonna join her."

Ophelia and Fallon share a surprised look while Ashlyn looks at Gina with an upset expression. "You're leaving?" Ashlyn questioned.

"It's not what you think, I just-"

"Please tell me you're not leaving because of me." Ophelia interrupted her, looking at Gina worriedly.

Gina chuckles lightly. "No, I would never leave because of you," Ophelia sighs with relief and Gina smiles at the three girls. "Or any of you girls." She takes a deep breath. "I did something last semester that nobody knows about."

"I actually know about the secret understudy plan with EJ." Ashlyn spoke.

"Um, we didn't." Fallon chimes in, pointing at herself and Ophelia. She glances at Gina curiously. "G, what happened?"

"We both just planned to try to get the leads of HSM last semester. That's in the past now." Gina shrugs. "But that's not what I'm talking about. You know how when the plane is going down, people confess things because they know they'll never see you again?"

Ashlyn, Ophelia, and Fallon share a look before they look back at Gina. "We've heard of it." Ashlyn responded for the three of them while the other two nodded in agreement.

"Guys, do you remember on opening night when you couldn't find me after the show?" Gina asked.

"They told me you were getting something you needed." Ashlyn responded.

"Yeah," Gina chuckles lightly. "I suppose I was."

"Gina," Ashlyn speaks softly, looking at her with furrowed eyebrows. "What happened?"

**flashback**

The opening night of HSM Luca had confessed to Gina his feelings for her with an original song. And he was on cloud nine when she said she felt the same way. But the thing is, Gina was leaving which meant that they wouldn't be able to be together.
