Another Love Story

Chapter Fourteen: Performance

I had walked into the house and instantly it smelled just like a bar.

"Hello? Is Jake's dad around," I spat as a man had came up to me and pinned me on the wall. He smelled of rancid alcohol.

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE," he had spat in my face.

"I am Jake's girlfriend. I have come to collect his car," I had been really relaxed.

"Oh so your the little brat who took Jake from me well how do you like this," he had dug deep into my skin with his cigar and had pressed it all over my skin which really hurt but I just smiled.

"Can I please have the keys," I asked very kindly but he didn't want me to ask that. He started lunching me hard leaving bruises on my skin and cigar burns he then bashed a beer bottle on my right arm which hurt a lot more than the cigar burns but I pulled through and smiled and when he wasn't looking I took the keys snd drove the car back to our house.

"Oh my goodness Britney are you alright no offense but you look horrible," Jake had looked closly at my arm and had freaked.

"It's okay Jake. Everything will be great. I have a concert tonight and I need to go to the concert early to meet with Mrs.Smith and I'm sorry but it's top secret. But don't worry once we get the topic covered I can pick you up," I smiled but he just politly told me.

"Let me know when I can come. I will walk. Just text me wih this number," Jake had grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote down his number.

I had actually went to a salon to get my hair cut. I had actually had$40 dollars in my wallet which was just enough to cut it and curl it at the end. Once my hair was finished I had driven to the school to meet with Mrs.Smith.

"Hello, Mrs. Smith," I had smiled at her but she was stunned by my hair cut.

"That hair is fabulous," she looked absoultly dumbfounded. "Oh I also have a huge suprise for you follow me," I had followed her to her closet to find she had a replica of Snow White's dress!

"Oh my goodness you didn't have to do that," I was so excited to try on that instantly I rushed to the restroom to try it on and it fit perfectly. Almost like this dress was my destiny.

"That dress is so... oh my gosh what is that," she had freaked to find my arm covered in cigar burns, bruises, and glass shrapnel. There was also one right by my eye.

"Oh I'm sorry it's just someone needed me to run an eren and it just turned into a melt down," I had smiled at the end.

"Look I don't think we have enough make up to cover this up. Do you think you will be okay with your apperence with everything," she seemed concerend but I wasn't worried about it. I had just texted Jake to show up and with that sent the show started but I wasn't in it just yet. The good news was just as I was walking in Jake had found his way into the building.

"Lady's and Gentlemen, please welcome our very own princess, Snow White," Mrs. Smith was so eager but the other parents were aggetated that their daugther didn't get a princess solo.

I had stared at Jake as I started the dialogue between me and Mrs.Smith until the song started.

"Some day my prince will come
Some day we'll meet again," I had started but Jake had slowly cam closer to me and we just started waltzing as I sang the song and finished and at the very end he bended me over and kissed me. However, the auidence did not find it as amuzing. They started throwing trash at me and Jake but I had ignored them and had told Mrs.Smith I was going to change out of the dress.

"You can keep it," she smiled.

"WHAT!?!?!?!? NO WAY!!!!" My eyes were as bright as a middle schooler who had just heard the news that school was cancelled.

"Yes I insist," she had hugged me and then continued. "Even though the parents hated it I though you did an amazing job,"

"Thank you so much," me and Jake had left the school and had went back to home.

"You were outstanding!" Jake almost shouted when we got home.

"Even with the bruises," I felt really bad about getting them but I was helping Jake so it was definitely worth it.

"I don't look at your bruises. I look on whose in the inside and tonight I found Snow White," he had kissed me several times and then lifted me off to bed.

"Good night Snow White," he had tucked me in and kissed my forehead.

"Good night Prince Charming," the joke just now started to sink in.

"Ohhhhhh that's what you meant earlier," he smiled and then fell asleep and just a little bit later so did I.
