Illusions of love

~The show must go on~

•Vanessa POV•

I sat there for what felt like years. Crying my heart out. I felt dead. I wanted to be dead. This was all my fault. I should've forgiven him. Wait, no I shouldn't have, he made me cry. Ugh, Jack I need you right now.

I suddenly heard my door knock.

"Vanessa open up." It was Henley. She kept pounding on my door. I didn't get up.

"Vanessa, it's important," she yelled, still banging on my door. I moaned and got up. I opened the door and saw Henley, Daniel, and Merrit. Daniel was holding a camera. They all walked in and hugged me. I pushed them away quickly, as I didn't want to cry more.

"Honey, we are so so sorry about Jack," Merrit said. I didn't say anything.

"But we need to do our show," Henley said.

"It's what Jack would have wanted," Daniel said. My eyes started to water when I heard Jack's name, but i fanned my eyes to stop the tears.

"We have to listen to The Eye Vanessa, and they said we have to do our show, no matter how you feel," Henley said. I got very defensive.

"Do you guys realize that Jack is dead!? I don't care what The Eye says, we aren't doing this show! Not without Jack!" I said, throwing myself on the couch. They all stared at me 'till Daniel spoke. He sat down next to me.

"Vanessa, I have known you for practically my whole life. Deep down, I know you want to do this show. We can't do anything about Jack. This show needs to happen. I need you to pull yourself together, reach down inside of you and put on a smile," Daniel said. I stared at him like he just punched me. But I looked down and spoke.

"Fine. For Jack," I said sniffling. I got dressed, and did my makeup so my eyes weren't baggy. I put in eye drops so they weren't red. We all sat on the couch and Daniel put up the camera.

"What are we doing?" I asked looking at Merrit.

"Well we do need to tell people about our show," he said. I knew he meant people as in the FBI.

"Vanessa all you have to do is smile and say a few words, we didn't want you to choke up," Henley said. I almost cried at her saying that but I held it in. Daniel pressed record and sat down.

"Jack wanted to be the most famous magicican that ever lived," Henley said.

"And I can't say he acheived it, but I do hope wherever he is-," Daniel said. I interrupted.

"It is full of magic," I said. They all looked at me for a split second, not knowing I would chime in like that.

"The point of why we are here is to say we are not," Henley said.

"We can not quit now," Merrit said.

"We have started something bigger than all of us, we have to finish it," I said.

"Remember the name Jack Wilder when you see us live," Daniel said.

"5 Pointz, Queens 7:00," Merrit said. Daniel got up and turned off the camera. He posted it to Youtube right away.

"Lets go to our show," Daniel said. He grabbed the camera and we all walked out. I was the last to leave. Before I closed the door, I cried one last tear, wiped it, and walked out.
