One more week. One more week to determine whether I'll make it past nationals. For the past 3 years, I've been playing piano for 5 hours straight, every single day, determining to go all the way to nationals and win. The love of my life, Kento, had been by my side since the beginning. He's supported me all these years and that's what kept me going. He'd visit every single competition I attended, all except for this one:

"Kento-kun! I'm finally going to nationals now!! I said to Kento, running towards him with the nationals invitation sheet in my hand.

Kento immediately jumped off of the leather couch in excitement and squeezed me, "Y/N-chan that's great!! When is it?!"

I answered, "Next Thursday! I'm so nervous! I'll have to practice even more now!"

Just then, he pushed away from the hug and that bright smile flickered to a dark frown, "Y/N-chan... Thursday's the first day of Sexy Zone's 5th anniversary concert tour. Can't you reschedule?"

I looked at him in shock, "What?!
No it's impossible! It's a national organization that manages this not me!"

"But there's millions of hardcore fans wanting me on that stage Thursday!" Kento replied, which raised my anger bar.

"Kento-kun, are you saying millions of strangers are more important than me??"

Kento seemed to feel the same way, "Of course not! But it's my job! They payed good money for this!"

I was done with him, "Okay, I get it now... your job is more important. Just remember, if I win it won't be any thanks to you."

And he was done with me, "I was planning on announcing our relationship at the first concert, but apparently you get upset over the smallest things, I don't even think this relationship is worth it!"

"FINE"

"FINE"

We stormed into our rooms and slam the doors shut. IF HE ONLY TOLD ME HE LOVED HIS JOB MORE THAN ME, WE WOULDN'T HAVE STARTED DATING IN THE FIRST PLACE!! Although I was mad, tears were streaming down my face, because I still loved him, even if he might not have loved me. But I have to go Thursday. My friends and family are depending on my win, even if my boyfriend isn't.

Today's the day. I walked into the concert hall with the number 12 hung around my neck, notifying everyone that I was a contestant. I wore my lucky dress, the long purple one with a cute pattern below the waist. It was the dress Kento bought me, the first gift to express his love to me...

I sat at a nearby bench in the waiting room, closing my eyes and moving my fingers the way I would on the piano, imagining being on the stage, with the tv camera broadcasting my movements and sounds all over Japan. Just thinking about it makes me want to have a nervous breakdown. If Kento had come, he could've made everything all better... just his presence would've calmed me down, but the fight last night just made it worse.

"Contestant number 1 please come to the stage."

I watched on the mini tv as what looked like a girl in her mid 20s walked on stage with a smile on her face. I wish I had the confidence she had. There were now 11 people left in the room, discluding the security guard standing by the door. I stared at my number. Number 12. That probably means I'm the last person to perform. I watched number 1 play smoothly and gracefully. She was so calm she was almost like the ocean. There's no way I can win against her, let alone anyone here.

I watched as number 11 came back in, the sigh of relief on her face.

"Contestant number 12, please come to the stage."
