Selena: Changing The Past

Chapter: 28

The serenity of the night is always described as pulchritudinous for many people. The endless darkness that painted one side of the world as the pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky.

Yet, despite the occasional barking of faraway dogs, the night is always as divine as it will ever be. A great scene to be in as you tuck yourself in bed and let darkness engulf you.

Something everyone, or some, is doing right now as darkness has fallen in Texas. Everyone but some. And one of them is none other than the lead singer of the band.

Selena lay on her side, eyes open, steady breathing, staring at her nails that were done a couple of days ago. Her nails were mesmerizing to stare at; stained by a wine-colored hue by L'Oreal.

She couldn't help but admire the color - it fit her style. Selena had a unique way to dress, and it paved the way for her to become a fashion designer. Even if she became the number 1 singer in the world, her dream of becoming a fashion designer was perpetual.

However, that wasn't the time to be thinking about that. There were other problems aboard. And one of those problems was how she was having difficulty sleeping.

It was peculiar. Almost all the time, she would let darkness overtake her, getting a good night's sleep to wake up refreshed and ready to start the day.

Switching to a different position, she lay on her back, staring at the ceiling of Big Bertha. Selena hoped that would have helped her in feeling sleepy, however, it didn't.

A sigh escaped her lips, starting to feel slightly frustrated with her current state. Instead of letting it turn her mood sour, she decided to drift her thoughts somewhere else.

Her mind instantly went to a memory she will cherish forever that happened early

°°°°°°°°

Earlier in the day, the band had set out on the road again after their small vacation ended. Their next performance was located in Austin - a place filled with amazing people that welcomed them with open arms - the proof of her popularity that was starting to increase by a margin.

A sight that made her heart swell and her love for her fans increase further. She adored everyone.

As Big Bertha approached the city, they could gaze as the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.

Decided to stay the night inside Big Bertha, as usual, the members all played around the bus. Some stayed in the bunker area and others in front of the bus.

Pete, Ricky, Suzette, Chris, and Marcella enjoyed hanging out in front of the bus. Holding conversations about random topics while Abraham sat in the driver's seat, reading the newspaper.

Selena, like always, stayed with Alex in the bunker area. The duo mostly spends the time talking, laughing, or in this case, drawing. A hobby that she introduced to him.

Alex was never a big fan of drawing and there were many factors to why. The main one was how he sucked in drawing. He can't even draw a stickman if his life depends on it.

Yet, Selena encouraged and complimented his drawings, much to his delight. As time slightly went by, there was good progress in his portraits, not a huge difference, but at least better than he was in the past.

Alex likes to draw guitars; such as a Stratocaster and a Soloist. Adding to it, he enjoyed sketching buildings, and his favorite, the moon. There was a special reason why he adored the moon.

As for Selena, she loves sketching dresses, suits, clothes, and anything related to that. She had a fondness for drawing the attire and then turning it into reality.
