Some Day
_______
The click of my shoes on the stage makes me realize just how nervous I am. I look to the wing and see my family there, giving me encouraging looks. I meet the eyes of my older brother. The one I could always turn to in a time of crisis. His shiny police badge winks at me under the bright light of the sun. He smiles at me, giving me a mock salute. I almost laugh out loud at this.
'Go' he mouths, making shooing motions with his hands. 'Alright, alright!' I mouth back, taking a deep breath.
I walk to the center of the stage and face out into the audience. I look into all the eyes of the people that have come to enjoy the fair. A soft, autumn breeze flows through the air, ruffling my hair. My lungs feel like they're on fire but I take a deep breath anyways, adding to the flames amongst my insides. The band, which consists of five guys from my school who could just barely carry a tune, start to play my music. Off key as it is, it gives me a little push, making me start counting the beats.
A second before I open my mouth, a cry comes from the sea of people below. I look into the crowd and see a woman on the ground, crying for a child that has been gunned down. A few more cries come and soon the whole place is in chaos. I am paralyzed, glued to my spot. The band had long since abandoned their instruments, only thinking of safety.
A bullet whizzes by my head, making me stumble backwards. I am about to hit the ground when someone catches me. Relief fills me when I see that it's my best friend, Danny. He looks terrified. I feel terrified. "Sophie!" I hear my brother call. "Soph, come on. Jesse needs you" Danny pleads. I nod, not knowing what was going on. Danny looked pained. "What's wrong, Danny?" I asked, letting him pull me along. "Not now, Sophie. Jesse will explain" he says, starting to run. My feet ache, probably because of the heels I had chosen this morning but I keep running.
We finally make it to Jesse's car where Danny and I fling our bodies into the backseat. Being a squad car, there was a black metal fence in between the front and back. "Jesse, what the hell is going on?" I ask, trying to calm down and not burst into hysterics. "Sophie....I need you to stay calm. Those were some people that the FBI have been trying to put into custody for quite some time" he says to me. "Okay? What does that have to do with me? Why do I need to know that?" I question, curiosity overcoming my fright. "You see......they were after you. Sophie, they want to kill you" Jesse says, looking in the mirror. My mouth hangs open in utter disbelief.
