SECRETS - DIZA ONESHOTS

9. FORBIDDEN (pt.3)

Previously...
"Cause I love you"
I pause with no reponse. I turn around and she's already gone.

Was it just a voice inside my head?

Liza's POV
I drive home as it's getting dark. My mind replays what happened earlier over and over again. I shouldn't have done that. I should have just gone home and not have that dance with him, but something about him was just hard to simply walk away and ignore. Something about him is so.... attractive?! Wait, but why did he... DOES HE LIKE ME? Hold on... let me do a little math.

OK THAT BOY LIKES ME!
Why Liza.... why did you push him away like that? WHY??? You just let that chance slip right out of your hand. WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID? WHY DO YOU KEEP PUSHING AWAY PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOU?
The moment I got home, I immediatly run upstairs to my bedroom.
"Hi honey, how was the practice for the play?" My mom asks from the kitchen
"It was... cool mom" I stop running, a smile appears on my face
Stop it Liza, you didn't enjoy it!
"Get changed and we'll have dinner ok?"
"Ok mom"
I reach my room and slam the door shut behind me. My back slides down against the door, I pull my knees to my chest. I breathe heavily.
Ok stay calm Liza!
I pull out my phone to call my bestfriend, Gabbie. She had to move back to her hometown two months ago. Of course, since she's my bestie, she knows how I feel about David.
Gabbie: hey liza what's up
Liza: nothing much, my life's just falling apart

I say and add up a awkward laugh. Gabbie chuckles

Liza: no but seriously
Gabbie: oh ok.... what happened?
Liza: I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but uhm... I think David likes me
Gabbie: MAN I KNEW IT'S GONNA HAPPE.... wait is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Liza: I don't know that's why I'm calling you
Gabbie: ok tell me what happened
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today it's the day. My last performance. Gotta make it worth!
Mom says my whole family is gonna be in the audience, cheering me on. Yes, my Dad and my big sister, Zoey is coming home to see me perform.
I bet today it's going to be really awkward when I see David, but you know... the show must go on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's lunch time. I've finished my lunch and decided to go to the bathroom to fix my make up.
That's when the door flings open. A blonde cheerleader walks in. It's Stacie! I don't say a word.
"Well, Elizabeth.... did you have fun at school yesterday, when everyone had left and there were only you and...." She says in an evil tone and stops at mid-sentence. Her words send goose bump to my body. I know who she's talking about
As she notices I still keep my mouth shut, her disgusting hand starts to play with my block of chocolate brown hair I just curled this morning. I start to get annoyed.
"Elizabeth... you're making harder for both of us. DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPLAINATION FOR THE KISS BETWEEN YOU TWO YESTERDAY!?" She suddenly yells which catches me offguard.
"I..." I stutter
She raises her hand and slap me in the face. My head hangs to a side. The sound echoes across the room.
"Don't act all innocent and stupid. You know that this school has security cameras right?"
"Stacie, I told you I have nothing to deal with this boy. And we DIDN'T KISS FOR GOD SAKE! I don't have any feeling for him. I SWEAR!"
"OK THEN PROVE IT!"
"How...."
"I guess since you're a good actress,...."
The bell rings and it cuts her off. She releases my collar and grinds her teeth.
"You'll see...." She flips her hair and walks out the door

First of all, Stacie is dumb asf.
'Cause second of all, how hard can this be?
Third of all, since when she cared so much about this?

"Remember, mess it up and you won't be able to step foot on stage!"
I hear her voice echoes from the hallway
"Deal!" I raise my eyebrows and say to myself.
I sigh as I look at the mirror. Damn it! That b ruined my highlighter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk out of Chemistry class to hear yelling and cheering in the school yard. I run outside to see a huge crowd. I try to get into the crowd and surprisingly everyone parts aside for me. I see two boys fighting. No... more like a boy is hitting another one, hard! On the ground it is .... David. I look to up and see Stacie from the other side of the crowd, crossing her arms, smirking at me. The boy who is hitting David is clearly bigger and stronger than him. David groans out as he's in pain. My heart aches at this. I have to do something.
A strange girl who stands next to me asks
"Is Jacob your boyf?..." She points at that tall dude
".... He continuously said that while hitting him"
I haven't said a word when I hear that dude yells out again while punching David.
"Who you think you are hah? Lisa is MINE"
Lisa?
David doesn't say a thing, but I can tell by the look on his face, he's being torn apart. He knows who Jacob's talking about.
A light bulb lits up above my mind.
Did Stacie set this all up?
"STOP!!!" I scream
I walk over to the two man and grab Jacob's muscular arm.
"Babe. I'm ok! Let's go"
God that is the worst acting skill ever!
That dude looks confused more than ever. He stops, obviously, as he doesn't know what to do next. We walk away as if nothing happened. I turn my head one more time to see David silently cries.
Please don't say he believes all of this!
It's the afternoon and it's a hour or two before the play begins. I wonder how David is doing. Oh and about Jacob, we immediatly walked away from each other after we managed to find an empty space without saying a word. Why? Cause I couldn't just tell him 'HEY DUDE! I LOVE DAVID. DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!'
Oh I need to go to the dressing room to get ready now.

There are a lot of people in the dressing room. The dance is the first performance which I'm in. I hurry myself and put on my denim shorts, my black crop top hoodie. I lace my white Converse and sit infront of the mirror to do my makeup. That's when Stacie walks in.
She looks at me through the mirror with her evil eyes. I try to ignore her and mind my own business.
"Girls, 10 more minutes until showtime" A teacher walks in
We all stand up and follow her to the backstage.
"Ready guys?..." Mr. Gale asks us
"....Off you go!"
We all hurrily walk out on stage. The light is dim so nobody sees us. I stand next to Stacie, like always.
Here we go...

Blink!
The performance ends
Everyone stands up and cheers
You feel like the volumn of the crowd settles down when...
Blink!
You turn your direction to the tormentor
He's right there, cheering and smiling at you
You feel like the room is spinning slowly
Blink!
He disappears...

"Liza, let's go!" A girl hits my shoulder and brings me back to reality
I run off stage, straight to the dressing room.
BAM! I bump into someone...
"Sorry" I mumble, don't even bother to look up to see who that is.

It's him

"Hurry up Elizabeth!" My drama teacher demands
I nod and get into the dressing room.

Blink!
You're on stage.
Blink!
He's right next to you....
And somehow makes you feel like every normal practice session you had with him.
Everything feels so relaxing that....
Blink!
You turn to the audience and nobody's there. It's just you and him. Standing beside him makes all of your worries disappear.
You feel like nothing wrong happened between you and him, AT ALL!
It's silence
Blink!
You're back to the reality....

It's silence?
Now everyone is staring at me. What did I just do? I turn to David who is also staring at me. Did I just freeze and forget my line? Was I busy daydreaming right on stage. What tf is happening? What am I supposed to do? I turn to David who is also staring at me. He is raising his eyebrows and mouths:
"Say I. LOVE. YOU!"
Oh yeah crap! Needless to say that phrase is scripted, not like I'm in lov.... Wait....

Screw it!
Blink!
We kiss
