You wake up to the smell of bacon and eggs your favorite. You check you phone. It's 5:35 A.M you don't have to be at work until 8:00. You decide to get up, and see what Jesse was doing.

"Good morning sleepy head." Jesse says as you walk in.

"Good morning what are you cooking?" You ask as you lean against the cheap granite countertops. Trying to get a view of what she was doing.

"Bacon, eggs, and pancakes.. Jeff is coming over so I wanted to make his favorite."

"Jeff..as in your ex boyfriend Jeff?" You asked sarcastically. "I hate him." You mumble low enough she doesn't hear.

"Yes that Jeff.. He and I are getting back together. Well, I hope after he sees how much I miss him, an-"

You cut her off "That asshole cheated on you, and you WANT to get back together?!"

Silence overcame the room as she continued to cook, and you just stared at her waiting for an answer.

"He technically didn't cheat." She finally said breaking the silence.

"I'm so done.. When he breaks your heart don't come crying to me!" You yell back out of frustration. You go to your room, and slam the door shut.

You grab a pair of jeans, and a loose fit black t-shirt. After getting dressed, you put your hair in a messy bun. Then you slip on your black flats. You look yourself over and grab your things, and leave without saying a word to Jesse.

You look down at your phone it was 6:05 and you were starving. You walk around the block to a small donut shop, and buy yourself a small cappuccino along with two glazed donuts. You don't stay because you want to be at the theater early. So you call for a taxi and it drives you to the theater.

When you get there you're surprised the back isn't locked and you walk in. No one is in sight as you continue your way into the main theater. You set your things down, and walk onto the stage.

This was your dream.. All your life all you've ever wanted to be was someone important.

To stand on this stage and to make them feel. You wipe away the tears that managed to escape from your eyes.

"I'm here.. I'm actually here." You whisper to yourself.
I may never get this opportunity again.

You think as and idea popped into your head. You look around once more to make sure no one is around before continuing.

'Stars shining bright above you..Night breezes seem to whisper I love you..'

You begin to sing Doris Day's song "Dream a little dream of me" one of your favorites.

'Stars shining bright above you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree..
Dream a little dream of me.'
You continue as your voice seems to carry through the big empty theater.

You hear a faint whistling noise in the distance, and you start to think you had just imagined it. Until you hear clapping. Then a familiar voice yelling.

"WOAH Y/N! Encore.. Encore!!" You hear in between claps. In the distance you see a figure, but you don't no exactly who it is. As the person gets closer their claps seemed to only get louder and more intense.
Then you finally realize its Sarah.. Sarah Paulson. You haven't talked to her since your first day when she gave you her number. You can feel the embarrassment flooding over your entire body. You wanted to run but you couldn't your whole body had went stiff in the midst of it all. Sarah was only 3 feet from the stage now.

"Sing some more for me!" She says in the most excited tone you've ever heard.

"I didn't k-know any-o-one was h-here." You respond with shock written all in your voice and on your face.

"I get here early sometimes.. Now sing please!" She pleads again with even more excitement this time.

"I don't sing in front of people.." You say as you finally get the courage to grab your things, and walk off the stage then the back.

'Sarah fucking Paulson complimented you.. And you blew her off.' Was all you could think about the rest of the morning.

*later that day*

"So Y/N I heard ya' can sing," Faith says as you two set up the different lights.

"Who told you that?" You ask even though you know exactly who told.

"A reliable source that's all im sayin'." She responds with her thick southern accent.

"Whatever!" You blow her off. "Where are you from?" You ask in attempt to change the subject. You never liked to be the center of attention.

"I'm from Memphis, Tennessee!" She answered proudly as you two finish up the wiring from the lights.

"Wow," You gasp. "You're a ways from home."

"Yes ma'am I am, but I love it he.."
She was quickly cut off by someone's yelling below you. You both look down to see Sarah with an older woman and they're fighting.

"You know what Cherry-I'm DONE." Sarah yells. You look over at Faith and she looks over at you.

"Cherry Jones?" You both say in unison then you turn your attention back to them.

"Whatever.. You're nothing without me." Cherry yells back and quickly ran out of the building.

You didnt care about her though. All you wanted to know was if Sarah was
alright. You tell Faith you were going to see what was going on, and you went down the ladder you two were standing on. You weren't even sure what you were going to say, but you knew you needed to say something..anything. You made your way over to Sarah who was now gathering up her things to leave.

"Hey," You address her softly.  "Are you okay, Sarah?" As you get closer you can hear faint sniffling coming from her direction.

Sarah quickly turned around to see you. Her expression had seemed to completely changed from sadness to anger.

"I'm fine," She finally answered then turned back around, and finished up what ever she was doing. "See you Friday y/n." You hear her mumble as she walks out the back doors.

You gather up your things, and look at your phone it's time for you to leave anyway.. All you can think about is Sarah.You feel terrible that you can't help her. When you get outside you see the woman Sarah was arguing with, and you realize it was Cherry Jones.

"Hey Cherry!" You yell, running towards her. You weren't sure what you were doing, but the next few words that came out of your mouth would change everything.

(Hope y'all like it so far )
