Hi everyone! This is my first fanfic so I really hope you enjoy! ^^
-After the competition, Hailey is realizing she's slowly falling for Jake, but what about him? Will he realize that the girl he loves isn't Daisy anymore, or will he be stuck betwee...
It was dark. And cold. I wasn't even sure where I was. Suddenly, the lights went on, warming up the room a little, and I realized I was in some kind of a.. theatre? There were lots and lots of people around me, cheering towards the empty stage. Suddenly, a well-known melody started playing and a reflector pointed towards a male who was standing there. I couldn't recognize him. He was so familiar, yet so.. unrecognizable. I had to get closer. I was easily walking through the mass, knowing that all crowd's attention was directed towards the guy. Once I reached the first row I saw..
Jake?!!
He was in a golden tuxedo, wearing golden jewelry and holding a microphone. He was just.. shining.
"When marimba rhythms start to play, Dance with me.. Make me sway~"
Not even the first lyrics began when some girls in the front already passed out.
"Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, Hold me close, Sway me more~" he continued, enchanting everyone present. Including me.
"Like a flower bending in the breeze, Bend with me, sway with easee~ When we dance, you have a way with me, Stay with me, sway with mee~"
Once he finished that verse, Jake held out his hand towards me. At first, I was confused, but the moment he winked, I somehow knew it was meant for me. I didn't hesitate and deftly climbed up on stage, now being next to him. He gently embraced me, and we started dancing slowly.
"Other dancers may be on the floor, Dear, but my eyes will see only youu~.."
I swear I could see my own reflection in his brown moonstone eyes.

"Only you have that magic technique, When we sway, I go weaaak~"
He took my hand and made me do a few spins, but before I got a chance to get dizzy, he grabbed my waist and continued chanting the audience.
"I can hear the sounds of violins, Long before.. it begiiins~ Make me thrill as only you know how, Sway me smooth, sway me noww~"
Our performance reminded me of when we danced yesterday to the sound of street violinist in the park. Wait.. was it yesterday..? Or, perhaps 2 days ago..? It didn't matter at the moment. I was enjoying his swift and smooth moves. Oh, if only we could stay like this forever.. I was enjoying my little thoughts, when my bubble was popped with Jake's sudden change of tone. Gosh, did he sing beautiful..
"Like a flower bending in the breeze, Beeend with me, sway with easee~! When we dance, you have a way with me, Staaay with me, swaaaay with me~!!"
Everything was silent for a slight moment. After little quietness, everyone cheered, clapped and whistled so much, I thought the place was going to be struck by an earthquake. And at that second.. he turned his look to me. And whispered..
"Hailey."
Mesmerized, I drunkenly replied:
"Yeah?"
It seemed like he wasn't planning on responding, nor to say what he wanted to. Instead, he quietly continued to call me, but each time a little louder.
"Hailey.
Hailey!
HAILEY!"
...
"Huh?" I opened my eyes and sat straight. I was.. in my bed..? But.. how?
Zander was sitting beside me, looking pretty anxious, which was actually normal. He always looked at me like that.
"Hailey! You were mumbling something in your sleep. Is.. everything alright?"
"What..?" I was still confused after the show with Jake. Was it all just a dream..?
"I could hear you talking in your sleep from my room! Are you okay?"
"Zander.. I.. I just had a bad dream. Nothing special."
"Are you sure?" he raised an eyebrow, as he was trying to pull out something from me.
"Of course I'm sure!" I was whispering the entire time, because, from some reason, my throat was really sore. I guess I really spoke in my sleep.. "And you shouldn't worry about such things when you're sick! I mean, really? Me talking in sleep?!"
"I'm just making sure you're fine!" Zander answered in a hushed tone, but it was obvious he was already annoyed.
"Well.. now you see I'm fine. Will you please go back to sleep?" I tried calming him down, because I really didn't like seeing him anything other than happy when he was ill.
My brother sighed and nodded. He coughed a little and exited from my bedroom. I lied down and checked my phone. It was 2:06 AM, and a day after my and Jake's walk in park. Phew. At least I wasn't going insane..
