BBRAE one shots

think of me

High school AU. No powers.
This will be a long one shot.

" Rachel are you ready." Mr. Johnson asks. It was the day of the chorus recital. Since I was the highest soprano in the chorus, I was chosen to sing Think of Me. I was in the same white dress, that Kristen wore in Phantom of the Opera. My hair was in a bun with a single diamond comb. I was extremely nervous, because my best friend and crush, Garfield Logan, was gonna be here tonight, much to his girlfriend, Terra's, dismay. I take a shaky breath and nod. " Don't be nervous Rachel. You have prepared for this. I know you can. Now my dear, take your place." He says. I take my place in the center of stage. In front of the curtain, I hear Mr. Johnson introduce me. " Good afternoon Jump city High. We have a wonderful show for you tonight. So up first we have 2 wonderful young students singing think of me from the show The Phantom of the Opera. Here is Rachel Roth and Wally West." He says. The curtain opens and I hear a few people snicker. I take a shaky breath as the music starts. I begin to sing.

Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while
please promise me
you'll try.

When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me ...

We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea
but if
you can still
remember,
stop and think
of me ...

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been ...

Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.

Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.

Recall those days,
look back
on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you ...

Wally:
Can it be?
Can it be Christine?

Wally:
What a change!
You're really
not a bit
the gawkish girl
that once you were ...

Wally:
She may
not remember
me, but
I remember
her ...

I pick up on the song once again.

We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea
but please
promise me
that sometimes
you will think

The room is filled with cheers, particularly from Gar, Kori, Victor, Jenna, and Karen. Terra just remained silent. Wally takes my hand and we take our bow. We walk off stage. I get out of my dress, but keep my hair up. The comb belonged to my mother. It's my last gift of her. I walk out to the lobby of the auditorium. I'm scooped into a hug by all of my friends. Well except for Terra who just glared at my. " Rachel I had no idea you had such a beautiful voice." Gar says. Terra scoffs. " She wasn't that good." She says. " Are you kidding me. She was beautiful. Your just jealous." Gar says. " Ugh. I can't believe you are defending her from me. She is a worthless piece of crap." Terra says. " Oh I'll tell you why, because I love her. She is way better of a person than you will ever be. We are done Terra." Gar says. Terra glares at me. " This all your fault." She shouts. She slaps me across the face and yanks my comb out of my hair. I stand up straight. " Give me that back. That was my mom's." I say, holding back tears. She smirks and puts it on the ground. I gasp as she lifts her foot. I scream for her to stop. By this point, a crowd is forming and administrators are trying to get to us. Before I can move, she crushes the comb with her foot. I scream and push her away from it. The comb is shattered. I pick up its remains and begin to bawl. The last gift I had of my mother is gone. Garfield comes and puts his arms around me. Mr. Johnson pulls me up and to his office. I clutch the remains of my comb. " It's gonna be ok Rachel. Terra will be punished." He says once we get to his office.
