Heartthrobs and Secret Admirers (A Lippa FanFiction)

Chapter Twelve: The End of Vacation

Pippa's POV:

It has been five months since I left for LA, I was supposed to come back last month but there were a few unexpected circumstances. I've been back for about three months and surprisingly Lin isn't back from his vacation yet. He was supposed to be gone for only a month.

There is so much I need to tell Lin. I'm ready. There may be one big reason why, but that's not the point, the point is I'm ready. This is just a sign pushing me to Lin.

I was disappointed to come home and find that Lin hasn't returned from his one month vacation. I checked his twitter to see if I could find where he was but nothing. Lin has been off twitter for five months, surprising. I thought about calling or texting him, this is too personal to say on the phone or over text, I have to tell Lin in person. Bug when will he be back.

I just want to run into Lin's arms and cuddle all day in bed. I want Lin to tell me everything is going to be fine and that he will protect me. I want Lin to tell me he will take care of us. I want Lin.

I haven't been up to much since I got back, acting wise. Amelie made its way to Broadway sooner than expected, I did opening night and performed once a week until my situation progressed. Even though I wasn't the lead for the Broadway run I recorded the cast album. I hope Lin has listened to it. There is one song that makes me think of our relationship when I sing it, Stay.

Today I am going to the theater to vist who is left at the theater. Leslie, Chris, Oak and Daveed are gone and tonight is Renne's last show. Everyone from the original cast is coming to celebrate, everyone except Lin. Since I haven't had anyone to walk with I got back into biking around New York, it might seem dangerous but it's fun to ride through the city.

I stop at the corner store to get a snack before walking to the theater. A jar of pickles catch my eye, I grab two and make my way to the cashier. "Hey you're Phillipa Soo! I love Hamilton, I guess you can call me HamilTrash." I smile politely handing her the amount I own her. "I'm glad you enjoy the show. Thanks to Lin's great writing it has been a big hit." The young girl hands me my change. "When is He getting back from vacation, the Linnamon roll has been gone for like ever." The girl catches on to my confusion of the phrase Linnamon roll. "Linnamon roll is like cinnamon roll but its Lin. It's just this meme that us theater kids use." "Oh, that's cute. I'm not sure when Lin gets back."

Disappointment spreads across the girls face, nut quickly turns to a smile. "Oh, I thought you guys were like best friends. Well it was nice meeting you. Have a hamtastic day, cinnamon roll." I thought Lin and I were best friends too, I guess five months apart really changes things. "Thank you, you too." I laugh as I take my jar of pickles.

Once I get out of the store I place my jars of pickles in my backpack and ride to the theater. I notice some fans stage dooring. I truly love my fans but I've been trying to stay out of the public eye lately. I pull my helmet down to cover my face as much a possible and text Renee to ask for help.

Pippa: Can you help distract the fans so I can get inside? I'm still not ready to face the public. Sorry for the inconvenience

Renee: Of course girl! I'm here to help you no matter what.

A few moments later Renee burst out of the stage door along with Daveed, Leslie, Christopher and Oak. While the fans are taking selfies with everyone I sneak inside without anyone noticing me.

Shortly after the rest of the crew shows up. We all catch up for a while until Jazzy Renee and Anthony have to get ready for the show.

The show was great, everyone gave it one hundred and fifty percent and quite uptown was one of Renee's most emotional performances I have seen. Everyone decides to go out for drinks at Marie's Crisis.
