The Light At The End Of A Dark Tunnel

Chapter 23 ~ "Rehearsal"

3 Days Until Christmas...

*sigh*

"And...you go there and stand under the mistletoe...", instructed Mr. Ferguson...who was our drama teacher, dance instructor and school musical director, "Peter...join Emily under the mistletoe...", Peter--I mean, Ben entered the stage and walked under the mistletoe, "And... now... Evalynn...enter the stage and disrupt the scene...", wait what?!?! Who's Evalynn?! Oh noooo!

Sarah...

URGH! WHY IS SHE EVALYNN?!?! "...and END SCENE! SCENE 51 START!", screamed Mr. Ferguson. "So... Evalynn...Say your line:..", and then, Evalynn---I mean, Sarah...smirked at me and said in a British accent, "Oh, Peter... Why are you dating my sister of all girls...?", and Ben bellowed, "SISTER?! BUT---", Ben also talked in a British accent, "BUT...That's impossible! There must be a mistake! Emily, you never mentioned a sister!", and it was my turn to talk in a British accent, "But, Peter! I did! I had mentioned a sister name 'Eva'! Don't blame it on me!", and...

Wow... catfight...

"Well", smirked Sarah,"You can't have two lovers, Peter!", and that's when something caught my eye... a shine from her pocket... a shiny spike in her pocket...with a wooden handle... is this part of the script?!?! "Remember what I told you, Sarah, dear! No harm in stage! Through her arm and Yvette! Sink onto the floor and act dead!"...

Okay, so it IS part of the script...That's great! That's fantastic! Save me, Daddy...

"What are you doing?!", I said, shocked as she pulled out a knife, I can't believe this is my line...! "Peter... you can't be dating my sister! We had a promise that we'd never be apart! We'd die on the same day, on graves so close they touch! I can't let you have that with my sister!", and... "No!", Ben cries, "Evalynn! Don't kill her! I don't love you anymore! I love Emily! Wh-Why are you doing this?!", and Sarah stuck the knife between my arms and body...Phew... I did not get stabbed...

Oh right! Play dead...and play line!

"Why-Why...would you do this...Eva...Lynn...?!", I stuttered...I quickly fell to the floor.... Phew. Good thing that this is only acting! I would cry in this state! "So, now! We can be together, Peter!", Sarah giggled her line, but then, Peter knelt down before me and cried fake tears... it looks so real...yet...fake....

"Emily! I didn't want you to die! I love you... I love you...", and he kisses me hard on the lips...

Oh, I get it... Kiss under the mistletoe! While Emily's dying! Great play, Mrs. Mandrake!!!!!! Ugh. "AND CUT!", boomed Mr. Ferguson. I quickly got up and ran off the stage but Sarah stopped me, "You're lucky that it's only a play...Yvette..."...

...

Whatever you say, Sarah...

I quickly got out off my costume and quickly ran to the hotel... looking at the TV...which had nothing on... the static was horrible. I just lay on my bed.... I can't wait for Christmas...

I wonder what happened to Dad and Mom...did Mom and her husband get a beat from Dad? Did Dad get a beat from Mom's new husband? It's best not to think about it... I hate Mom... she put me through this torture...

*sigh...

Life is really cruel...
