My Understandings. (Of Mice and Men love story.)

Sit and Listen

Pretty soon the day of our preformance rolled around. 

Mr. Johnson decided we are singing 'Dont Stop Beleving.' 

I flattened out my dress in the mirror of the hotel. "You look stunning." Gielle said twirling my  hair. "Thanks so do you." I smiled looking at her long blonde hair, falling to her waist. 

Her red dress fit her well, and her black heels made her taller than me. There was a knock on the door then Mr. Johnson came in. "You girls ready?" We all nodded then went outside of the room. 

Shay and I had the solos. We were running down the hall way of the hotel. "Abiagil go to the main stage with Shay." Johnson said as we reached the other classmates. "C'mon." Shay said grabbing my hand. We ran to the stage outside of the hotel. We slipped through the curtains. 

After we caught our breath Shayley turned to me. "You look stunning." 

I Blushed. 

"God I cant control myself when you do that!" He said. He kissed me. "Thanks." 

"CLASS GET IN YOUR SPOTS!" Mr. Johnson yelled. Shay and I took center stage. I fixed my mic to be level with my mouth. "Introducing Valley Sky preforming Dont stop beleving!" The announcer yelled. 

Shayley: 

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

 Abigail:

Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

Both:

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

Chorus:

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searching in the night

Streetlights people, living just to find emotion

Hiding, somewhere in the night.

Working hard to get my fill, 

Everybody wants a thrill

Payin' anything to roll the dice, 

Just one more time

Some will win, some will lose

Some were born to sing the blues

Oh, the movie never ends

It goes on and on and on and on

Chorus:

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to the feelin'

Streetlights people

Don't stop believin'

Hold on 

Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to the feelin'

Streetlights people

 The whole class took a bow. 

After the other schools preformed the head judges spoke with all the soloists. 

Shayley, Me, these two girls Jenny, Bridget, this guy Mark,  and this girl Rachel. 

"I want all of you to practice because all of your voice are spectacular." The oldest looking man said. 

"Thank you." We all said all at the same time. "You two the most. I dont want your voices to give out." He said pointing to Shay and I. "Okay well. Get plenty of rest. You all have a big day ahead of you." He smiled. 

Shay and I walked out holding hands trying to catch up with the class. Rain suddenly poured ontop of us. "C'mon." He said pulling my arm. "Where are we going?" I asked as we roamed the streets of Toronto. "You'll see." 

Suddenly a airs of arms grabbed me and ran with me down the street. "ABIGAIL!" I heard Shay scream. "LET GO!" I screamed trying to pry the unknown man's arms off of me.  He put his hand over my mouth and continued running. "ABIGAIL!" I heard Shay scream again. I tried to scream for him but all that came out was "SHDFGBVJCDSA." 

I kicked the guy the was holding me in the stomach. His grip loosend. I kicked him again. 

Pretty soon he let go. 

I ran as fast as I could to Shay. "SHAYLEY!" I screamed. He grabbed me in a hug then we ran back to the hotel. "What just fucking happaned Abigail?! Did you know them!?" Shayley screamed at me. "Dont fucking yell at me!" I yelled back

He was obviously freaked out. "I just dont want to loose you Abigail." He whispered. "Just be careful ok." He said. "What are you two still doing in the hallway, get to your rooms." Mr. Johnson smiled. 

I walked off leaving shayley by himself.

Once I got to my room, everyone was staring at me. "What." I said. "We saw what just happened through the window." Gielle said. "Woopdey fucking doo." I said getting clothes and walking to the bathroom. 

I turned the shower on and got in. 

-FLASHBACK-

"GET THE FUCK OUT BITCH!" Max screamed at me. "Max-" I started. He raised his hand and backhanded me across the face. He was too high to realize what he just did. I stood up with my hand on my face. "Get out." He said. I threw the first thing I could find at him the walked out. "Fuck you Max!" I screamed flipping him off. Pretty soon his best friend, Lux ran after me. "Get away from me Lux." I screamed. "Just let me take you home, Its too cold for you to walk." He said trying to calm me down. 

-END OF FLASHBACK.-

I got out of the shower and dried off. I slipped my clothes on. Once I got out there I saw Shayley standing in the middle of the room. I sighed. "You here to yell at me again?" I crossed my arms. "No.." He said. 

"Well what do you want then?" I asked. "Im sorry for yelling at you Abigail." He said. "I just .. I cant loose you. I love you so much." he said. I looked down. He lifted my chin up and kissed me. I hugged him. "I forgive you." I felt his embrace tighten. "Okay Shayley that was 20 minutes. Out." Mr. Johnson said peeking his head in the door. "Bye baby." He said kissing my cheek. "Bye."

"YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE!" Gielle yelled. I smiled then looked down. "Thanks."
