Life's Gone Crazy {Hamilton}

"Deep breaths-- Mia! I need help!" London cried out holding me in her arms. I was shaking and I felt terrified. I didn't even know why. I just remember waking up screaming. Mia ran over from where she had been talking to someone and kneeled down next to London, I could barely make out her figure through my tear-filled eyes and she held me in her arms.

"Shh, shh. Deep breaths. Slow your mind." She started singing, "close your eyes and slow down, slow down. Take a moment to, rewind and find what makes you smile.."

"Deep breaths. Slow, slow your mind~ Relax and take a deep breath. So slow down, go back in time and take a minute to stop crying. I got you, I'm holding you. Take a breath and rewind. No one can, hurt you now. You'll be fine." She ran her hand through my hair and by the end of the song I was calmed. She sighed.

"Relax Blasko. I'll be back." She smiled and got up, going back over.

"I've never heard that song before.." London mumbled.

"Mia had slight anxiety and she had awful nightmares." I explained, "so, Jasmine, Anthony or she might've wrote it to help her relax, or other people. She might release it on her new album."

"She does so much. Singer, Actress, role model. How does she do it?"

"Lin. He's her manager." I got up and hoisted London up with me.

"Mr Miranda? She's talkin to him in there."

"Oh cool."

"Have you noticed how, thin, she is? And the burn scar behind her ear?" London sighed.

"She lived a good childhood, yaknow what. The school library has her Biography. I did my biography project on her. Read it." I laughed, "actually wait!"

I dug through my bag and found the small grey book with Mias head tilted up. It was labeled SORRY! In a fancy font with her name at the bottom showing she wrote it. I handed it to London and she laughed.

"Thanks." She opened it and we sat on the bed

"Prologue: written by Jasmine." We read to the second chapter by the time We had to go to school. We went into Maths class and Mr Gordon stood there, he was shuffling through some papers.

"Ah! Good morning girls! Come in come in! We have an assembly soon so drop your books off and head to the Auditorium." I nodded and gave him a high five as we left. He was my favorite teacher. He was always happy and excited, never failed to make me smile. We entered the auditorium and sat in the back. Then they called all drama students who knew the musical Hamilton to come onstage. I grabbed London's hand and waved at Yvonne and Tyra as we passed them. We went backstage and stood next to each other on the center high-rise. Then everyone who didn't go on stage left.

"Raise your hand to be.." she went down the line of characters and I waited until Angelica and shot my hand in the air, luckily for me she chose me and London got to be Eliza while a friend of mine, Emma, was Peggy. She kept sharing nervous glances with her friend Youna who was Lafayette. We began by just singing the cast album, but by Schuyler sisters people had Mics on their faces instead of handhelds so I started dancing along to the music and soon so was everyone else. By the time we got to the second act it was Third period and there was no stopping us. Teachers in the audience smiled, laughed and sang along. All the sudden I heard the music for congratulations cue up and I smirked with a mental victory. I turned to the guy playing Alexander, he was a senior about my height. He was super chill too, but he played Alexanders role with such passion. And I pushed him around, circled him, rolled my eyes, did what I thought Angelica would do in this situation. By the time we finished it was fifth period so we all went to lunch, laughing, talking and exchanging phone numbers, snapchats and Instagrams. I realized that this was basically the cast of the Drama club and I got more excited by the second.

Here we go, one week after my moms death.
