MISS NOBODY STRIKES BACK

A heart felt encounter

My life seems to be getting better because of Ivan. Everything is perfect for me now, and I am happy again to have someone who truly loves me. I am just so happy with how everything turned out.

I have decided to go back to singing since I am no longer being bullied in school. I am not just going to start singing in school; I am planning on making singing my career since it is something I love doing and am good at. When I told Ivan about it, he was so happy that I had the courage to sing again after all I have been through.Ivan advised that I join a band outside of school so I could continue to sing even when school was closed, and I liked the idea so I agreed to it. Ivan and I decided to start looking for a band group that was close by in the environment. Ivan didn't want me to go somewhere far; he said he can't stay for long without me, so I need to be close by so that anytime he misses me, he can come see me. I really liked this idea because I knew that if I went far, I was going to miss him all the time.I finally found a band group that I really wanted to join because I heard a lot about them. I really wanted to sing with a group like them because people said a lot of positive things about them. However, I was not sure if Ivan would like me to join because it was a bit far from where I live. To my greatest surprise, Ivan was okay with it when I told him. He said if it's what I want, then he also wants the same thing for me. I did everything I had to do and waited for the day of the audition.Ivan woke me up very early with his calls on the day of my audition. I got up, got dressed, and waited for him at the gate. Shortly after, he arrived, and we left for the audition. The venue was filled with people, confirming that the band was indeed popular. There were a lot of auditioners, and I was feeling a bit nervous. I just hoped that I would qualify to join the band. It was about time for the audition to start.All the auditioners were asked to move into the conference room. Ivan hugged me, wished me luck, and then I went to the conference room along with the other auditioners. We were all given numbers indicating the order in which we would present.

After a while, the audition started. Many auditioners performed exceptionally well, and I started to doubt if I could qualify because everyone was giving their best effort.

Finally, it was my turn to be on stage.I walked slowly as I approached the microphone at the front of the stage. I introduced myself and answered a few questions that were asked. Then, one of the band members, who seemed to be the band leader, asked me to sing. I began to sing as I had come prepared. The song I chose was one that I had been taught by someone whom I had truly loved in the past.

Suddenly, the band leader moved forward and joined me in singing the song. As he approached the stage, the lights were turned on, creating a captivating scene.Immediately, as I caught a glance of him, I stopped singing, and tears started to roll down my eyes. It was Dan, my first love. I was taken aback by his presence.

How could this be? Why is he here? I asked myself as I stared at him in disbelief. Overwhelmed with emotions, I rushed off the stage and ran to the restroom, where I wept for some time. I still held so much love for Dan, even though he had abandoned me and left without saying a word.I took a while crying in the restroom, then I gathered myself and came out. To my surprise, Dan and Ivan were standing right in front of the door.

I felt torn and unsure of what to do next.
