I completely wormed around the whole question. I had no idea what I would be doing in the next hour, how could I know anything about my future?

"I would rather not think about it" I shrugged my shoulders while swinging my legs back and forth. Lin could see me physically trying to get out of the question.

"I just want to be with you, every step of the way" He gave me a pat on the back and a goodnight hug.

I curled up with a blanket on an empty bed in the guest bedroom. I thought of the day's events.

Under the thick slumber...I thought of the talk with Nick. He talked to me, and we danced. That was something to dream about. And It happened.

My slumber was cut short when I woke up in a frenzy at 7 AM. Yelling from the other room, I slightly cracked open the door.

It was Jasmine and Anthony. 

"You took her from the party and vanished. No one knew where she was"

Jasmine was furious, throwing her hands up in the air at Lin. Oh, dang. Did Lin not tell Anthony and Jas? He just stared at the ground, thinking about the night before: once again "kidnapping" Gracie.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Lin!" Anthony was in a rage, I had never seen him like this: a furious Anthony

"I'm just saying if you hadn't been dancing so inappropriately. She may not have left the room" Lin looked up provoking him, putting his finger on Anthony's chest.

I thought to myself. 'I have to do something'. The argument didn't stop there.

"Look, She is fine..." Lin was so chill, walking around in his flannel pjs and Star Wars shirt. He started walking toward the door of the guest bedroom, The only thought I could think was to fake sleeping.

As he opened the door, I lay fast "asleep"

"Ok...I guess I worry too much..." Jasmine said, suddenly feeling like she had overreacted. She had relaxed, seeing me asleep, calmed her. Anthony was still very tense but let go of his anger.

"Hey, honey, it's Jazz. "

"Hmm." I fake woke up again.

"Baby girl. It's time to go." Anthony seemed to calm down.

"Um. Okay."

I grabbed my backpack and exited but not before Anthony could have the word in.

"Just try not to kidnap my kid, all the time" Lin just laughed Anthony off, But he was very serious.

Jasmine and Anthony had the day off, which was spent on a "date". A family date. We had to go to Stardust.

We went to a restaurant had a fabulous dinner and discussed Christmas plans.

"It's our first family Christmas. I think we could stay home and watch those fake Christmas movies. How about that?"

"Yeah, that sounds great. What do you think." Jazz looked at me.

"Sounds great."

"and what's on your list?" Anthony questioned me.

"Well. I've never really had a Christmas."

"Well...You are having one this year."

I laughed, "I don't know a surprise."

Soon enough the dinner was done and we all spent the night putting up the Christmas tree and listening to Jazzy's favorite holiday music.

"Gracie, we are going to be late." I heard Lin's voice from the apartment walkway.

"I'm coming!" I yelled, rushing through my room and zipping up my black booties.
I looked into the mirror at my blue dress. Of course, It had to be 'Eliza' blue, I had to switch it up from 'Angelica' pink.

"I'm ready." I walked out, "Wait never mind. Hold on."

"Really? How long does it take for a girl to get ready?" Daveed responded.

I rolled my eyes and went back to my room to grab a fur coat out of my closet.

"Now I'm ready!" I walked out strutting myself.

"She is all grown up," Oak commented about me fake crying.

"Hush! She is only fifteen. " Anthony said.

"Alright. Picture time." Jasmine said in a proud mom's voice.

We posed like we were in a fashion show. Lin and Anthony on one side of me, and Oak and Daveed on the other side of me.

After that, We had to get going on our way to see She Loves Me. Once we got to the Theater, We took our seats in the front row.

I shamelessly took selfies with my She Loves Me. I pointed to the character of Arpad Laszlo, A.K.A  Nick Barasch.

Soon, the show started and within seconds Nick was on stage. I licked my lips, staring at him. To that action, Lin rolled his eyes.

During intermission, I had to spill all of my thoughts.

"Nick was fabulous and perfect." I leaned back in my chair.

I heard whispers all around me, "Is that Lin Manuel Miranda?"

"That's most of the Hamilton cast, down there."

We chuckled at people noticing us, It was kinda cool. Kinda annoying. Kinda Cool.

During Act 2 of the show, Nick had a solo song and it had a lot of words that was fast in it. I would have messed up every word of that song in it. My boy, Nick, he didn't.

After the most amazing show ever finished, We got to go backstage and it was so cool.

"That's my girl, Gracie!" He ran to me, as soon as I got backstage. He hugged me, pulling my body closer to his. Then, he kissed me on the cheek.

"I loved the show! You were so good." I said as Nick fiddled with my fingers, smiling back at me.

"Awe. Thank you, I kept on thinking about if you were going to come to the show tonight."

"I told you I was! " I put our fingers interlaced.

"I know, Gracie! I don't know, things come up sometimes," His little self-doubt was so cute, "Where is Lin, and the rest of Hamilton's gang?"

I chuckled at him, "I believe 'Lin and Hamilton's gang' are talking to Zachary Levi!"

"Ah, do you want to go upstairs? I can show you my dressing room. If you want."
