Today was the morning if the show.

Frank swore he was sweating through his shirt. He was so nervous to see Hazel. On his way to her shop he stopped at a flower shop and bought her a pink rose.

He stopped into her shop to see her come from the back room in a stunning blue floral dress with shoes the color of her unatural- but beautiful- golden eyes. Her curly caramel hair was pinned up in a high ponytail with small curls framing the sides of her face.

Beautiful.

"I- uh- got you- um- this rose," he stuttered. His ears started burning up like they always did when he was nervous.

Hazel blushed.

"Why thank you Frank," she said as she hooked her arm through his, sniffing the flower, "its lovely."

Frank loved her slight southern accent. It made his skin tingle.

They headed into his car and drove down to the theatre. They bought a pack of candy each and headed to there seats front row. Clarisse, Chris, Silena, and surprisingly Charles Beckendorf, Silenas new fiancé, all came ten minutes later.

"Hey guys, um this is my, uh, date, Hazel Levesque," Frank stuttered.

"Hello," Hazel extended her hand, one after another they all shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you! I'm Silena, this is Clarisse, that is Chris, this is my fiancé," she jut out her left hand and showed off her ring,"Charlie."

Beckendorf was about two feet taller than Silena and Hazel, like Frank, and had an athletic build, like Frank, but other than that the two men had nothing in common.

Charlie was a construction worker, Frank played football. Charlie was African with skin as dark as Hazel, Frank was so pale he was almost a ghost. Charlie was confident, and Frank was awkward.

Yep as different as can be but the two were best friends really.

"Nice nickname, Charlie," Frank snickered.

"Hey only Silena can call me that Zhang,"

Chris whispered something in Clarisses ear, her expression hardened and they sat down.

A blonde woman came in with a blond male. Then another blond male who looked remarcably like the first came in with a black haired man.

The first blond sat next to Frank, then the woman, then the black haired man, then the second blond. All were about Franks age, all were slightly familiar.

The lights dimmed and the orchestra started the intro music.

Frank saw the black haired man turn and look at the blonde woman a few times, he seemed confused but not at the same time.

His expression seemed to go with the song that was being sung I Dreamed a Dream.

Hazel was applauding loudly and crying softly after that performance. Frank handed her a tissue and daringly put an arm around her.

She didn't resist.

The man turned back to the stage again applauding the song.

Frank decided to forget about it.

The show went on. By the time Fantine died Frank and Hazel were both in tears. Charlie was fighting them back.

Frank noticed the man turn again, this time he was looking at Frank in disbelief, Frank just nodded and gave a slight wave. The man turned back with his jaw slightly opened back to the stage.

Frank heard Silena singing along to On My Own but he couldn't help but notice the blond man next to him gasp then scowl at the performer.

Frank thought her performance was excellent but the man obviously didn't. 

When Eponine died the man was smiling but he and Hazel were once again in tears.

It turns out the second blond man was also in tears.

Thr show had ended with a standing ovation from the audience.

It turns out the four people next to Frank also managed to get backstage passes.

And thats when the chaos started.
