Chapter 35

I walked over to the piano and sat on the stool. I skimmed my fingers over the keys of the piano, before I started to play.

Then, came the singing.

You trembled like you'd seen a ghost
And I gave in
I lack the things you need the most
You said where have you been
You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide
I wonder why
I remind you of the days you poured your heart into
But you never tried
I've fallen from grace
Took a blow to my face
I've loved and I've lost
I've loved and I've lost

Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
It will never be the same

You left my soul bleeding in the dark
So you could be king
The rules you set are still untold to me and I
Lost my faith in everything
The nights you could cope, your intentions were gold
But the mountains will shake
I need to know I can still make

Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same

And as the floods move in
And your body starts to sink
I was the last thing on your mind
I know you better than you think
'Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
So watch them fall with you, in slow motion
I pray that you will find peace of mind
And I'll find you another time
I'll love you, another time

Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same

As I finished the last lyric and last note, I looked at the judges. I stood up.

The judges just looked at me. They didn't say anything. Silence, was all I heard.

Finally, one of them, the woman, cleared her throat and spoke.

"Thank you, Mrs. Woods. We will get back to you in a couple weeks." She smiled.

As I walked off stage, I turned my head to get one last look at them. Each one of them had wide eyes, speaking to the woman very quickly.

I hope that's good.

I walked backstage and opened the door. Harry turned his head to look at me quick. He stood up and walked over to me, smiling.

"Anne, that was fucking amazing." He ran is hands through his hair.

I just nodded and smiled. I'm glad he liked it.

"Let's go celebrate." He said, and grabbed my hand, walking out the door.

That's when I got worried.

"Where are we going to celebrate?"

"We are going to a club." He said, and with that, he let go of my hand and walked to the car.
