My Dearest | JANTHONY

Chapter 32

Jasmine POV
I walk into the theatre depressed the next day. I told only few people what happened, Pippa Renee, Daveed, Christopher, Oak, Jonathan, Alysha, Carleigh, and obviously Lin. So maybe I didn't tell a few people. They all helped me through it, and they're all going to talk to Anthony. Except for Carleigh, who didn't reply, weirdly. She always replies.

I flop down in my chair in front of my mirror in my dressing room. "Jazzy!" Pippa exclaims as she bursts into the door. She rushes to my side. "Are you okay?" She asks.

I was doing fine, but you know that feeling when someone asks if you're okay, and you are, but when the words come out of their mouth, you're not? It's happening now.

"No!" I exclaim as I collapse into her arms. "Honey." She says as she strolks my hair like normal.

"How about, we get ready for rehearsal and go out and hang out with Daveed and Oak, you always love that!" She suggests.

"Is A-Anthony with them?" I quiver, wiping my tears with the back of my hand.

"I already checked. He isn't." She says, lifting me out of my chair.

I smile in response. We get our hair and makeup ready, our costumes on, and head out. Renee is out today, but Alysha is filling in for her. It's sad that Renee's gone, but I still love Lysh!

"Hey Jasmine." Daveed says as gives me a warm hug. Oak does the same. Pipppa, Oak, Daveed, and I all hang out in the guys dressing room. We share a lot of laughs, and snapchat videos. Still no sign of Carleigh and Anthony.

It's time to start rehearsing, so we start with 'Yorktown'. We're a little ways in, until Anthony and Carleigh walk down the side asile holding hands.

I look around and everyones condused, especially me. "Sorry we're late," Anthony hollers, "We were busy taking all my stuff to Car's apartment." Carleigh smiles and says, "That's right, Ant."

Car and Ant? Like, Jas and Ant? This isn't true. Everyone turns their heads to look at me, and I don't know what to do. So, I just whisper, "You hypocrite."

Aparently I didn't say it quiet enough, because Anthony asks, "What?"

"You hypocrite!" I say louder, pointing at him, "You played the victem card when Mason and I kissed when we broke up. You emplied that shouldn't be with anyone else when we we just broke up. And it's been a day, and suddenly we can date other people?"

"Jasmine, please, you-" I cut Anthony off by shouting, "I'm talking now. You never come near me again unless it's for the show. Because that's the only thing I care about. Not a stupid relationship or breakup, but my career. You're the most horrid person I've ever met, Anthony Ramos Martinez. Never talk to me, or text me, or touch me, or come by my house when you get your heart broken." I hiss.

I run backstage. Everyone is stunned. I hear Oak shout, "Out Ramos!"

I run into my dressing room and collapse on the ground and start bawling. Soon someone comes in and says, "Anthony's just acting like an a**hole." It's Pippa. She never swears.

"Mhm." I chuckle, wiping my tears with the back of my hand once again. "I think I'm gonna sing a song about it again like I do all the time like I usually do." I laugh, poking fun at myself.

"Me too." Pippa smiles, hugging me. "I honestly thought Anthony was the one, ya know? I guess I don't have luck in the love department." I shrug.

"Jasmine, any guy would kill to have you! You're gorgeous, and funny, and talented, and just an amazing person. Screw Anthony!" She comforts, "Jamsine-Caphas Jones, you get out there for Say No to This and show everyone what you're made of!"

I nod and shout, "Yeah!" I stand up, quickly change into Maria, and walk out with Pippa. "You look stunning." Pippa remarks.

"Thanks." I say. We hold hands all the way to the stage. Lin whispers in my ear, "You don't have to do this. Anthony refused to leave. So really, you don't have to do this."

"I want to. Play Say No to This." I demand. Lin grins and says, "Gotchya."

The first few chords start, and I give myself a pep-talk. My part comes on, and I get through the first part. Now, it's time for the more challenging part.

"If you pay, you can staaAAAAYYYY!" I nail the high note, and I hear Pippa trigger a bunch or applause by going, "Whoo! Atta girl!"

I smile and the songs over. Lin gives me a hug, Leslie gives me a fist bump, and Daveed and I do our complicated handshake.

We laugh and he ruffs my hair up. I've had a horrible day, but my Hamilton family made it better. Now I just have to avoid Anthony for like a year.
