Just A Normal Birthday Party...

Chapter 17: Just A Show.

Nate (Natewantstobattle):

I wiped away the sweat as the musical finished up. "And cut!!!" I hear Nova say, and I immediately plop on one of the nearest chairs backstage. "Now, everyone except Matt and Nate please go back to their seats." My heart skipped a beat after she said that. Matt was feeling the same way as we both met eyes with Nova. "Okay, so now, I want this to be a surprise. Since you're going to perform next," She pointed to me, "I thought that you would like to relive the haunting moment." Even though she didn't explain a single thing, I knew exactly what she was talking about.

           "Definitely not, Nova. You really think Matt and I want to live our nightmare again?" I say at Nova, as she put her head down in shame. "You think I have a choice? The reason why I even made this whole 'Music Madness' concert, is because my mom is bored. She wants people to suffer. She forced me to kidnap your friends so she could have more friends to play with, and more shells for servants." "Shells for servants?" Matt and I say at the same time. "Will can explain, but I promise, my mom is killing me inside. She knew that I wasn't gonna listen if she left me alone, so now she's back." Matt shudders, but I was confused. He glanced at me, but immediately looked away. "Oh, this probably has something to do with his stab..." I think, remembering that whole fiasco.

"Well Nova, I don't care if your mom is controlling you,but Matt and I are not gonna show everyone the horrible things we've felt. Don't you know that Matt is still trying to heal?" I say, pulling her from the stage and into the curtains. "I wasn't asking if you wanted it. I just wanted to let you know that you were gonna do it." Nova says, her eyes changing color. "Please, Nate, let's just listen to her.. Please..." Matt gripped my shoulder in fear. I turned to face him. "Matt, you're such a scaredy cat. Don't keep hiding from the truth. I know you don't want to do it either.." I say. "I know!! But she's the one that brought me this horrible past in the first place!!" Matt shouts, losing his calmness. I turn to apologize, but he already went deeper backstage. I sigh, and Nova laughs. "I'm not gonna leave you guys alone again. I'm gonna make sure you die, for real, this time." Nova says, gripping my wrist to the maximum, like she was trying to stop my blood circulation. I try to pull my hand, but that just makes her squeeze more. I wince, and she grins. "Say one word to the audience, and Matt will be," She snaps her fingers. "Gone." I whimper, as she drags me to where Matt had ran off to.
