Chapter 14- If I loose My Self --

Previously on TNITTJP

She sat on the piano bench, wearing a new dress. It wasn't like the normal ones Annabella wore. But it was perfect. It fit snugly, everywhere, and ended just at her mid-thigh. The straps covered her shoulders, and cupped around her neck. A dress that showed all her curves, but none of the skin. Her legs and arms, the only thing exposed.

Her song tonight, was a nice song, not to sad, but not something out of her slower comfort zone.

High pumps, dark blue, to match the dress. Her hair done, and contacts in. She was fit for royalty.

Annabella smiled brightly. As the curtains opened, and the brightness of the stage lights blind her.

"I stared up at the sun,

Thought of all the people,

places, and things I've loved. "

My fingers slid over the piano, and the guitarist, added to the song beautifully. I thought about the song, and how close the words were to me. Then I thought about, Payson, and Bud. How many times they were next to me.

But most of all, I thought of Tyler, and how much he gets under my skin. I smiled, as I continued the song, cheers greeted my endings. Neither Payson nor Bud could make it today. If they showed up to often, it would look odd. That 'Ella' Never accompanied them.

I made my way off the stage, talking to the many faces that congratulated me. But something I noticed more than that, was that many people, well, many guys. Sent me creepy looks. The dress, was appropriate. But under all the gaze's I still found myself uncomfortable.

This is why I had decided to dress baggy and comfortable, once I returned to school. I no longer appreciated the looks of awe, from people. Now, it gave me a slimy feeling. As if their eyes would burn my skin.

I walked to the bartender. After singing, my throat always felt dry. And I still found myself excited, for Julliard. My acceptance, and first years tuition already paid for. And the fact that Scarlett, dropped the charges, didn't put a whole in my savings.

"Water please" I ordered, the bartender nodded, and went to get the water. As I thought again, on how much I was in debt of, Tyler, for helping me get out of it. I wasn't sure, that me pretending to be his girlfriend, was really fair. I mean, he was giving a lot more than he was getting. Or was he? What weird hoops would I have to jump through?

The bartender reappeared with my drink. Also, he handed me my napkin. Wait, Why in the world world would I need a napkin.

"Thank you." I yelled over the music to the bartender.

"It was an honor. I put something for you on the napkin." His eyes slid down me, and I shivered in disgust. I looked down at the napkin in my hand, and saw a phone number written on it. I rolled my eyes.

"Really?"

"Hey, I'm not asking for a commitment. Just a good night. I'm okay, with being used." He said smiling. I scowled at him.

"Were your parents siblings? Or are you just challenged?" I asked angrily. How rude, did I look like the kind of girl who would do that?

"Okay, Okay, I know where I'm not wanted. Was that all you needed?"  I nodded stiffly, before drinking my water, and leaving the glass there. Restlessly I began walking around.
