Chapter 14 (AAAHHH!)
Once I heard my alarm going off, I sat up and pressed the snooze button. Today was the day. Oh God. I unwrapped myself from the blankets and put on my purple robe. I walked down the staircase and to the kitchen. Like I predicted, Cassidee was in the kitchen, making me my special breakfast. Every time I had a big, important concert Cassidee, being the awesome sister she is, would make me a delicious healthy breakfast. I smiled.
"Good morning," I said. She turned to face me and smiled.
"Oh hey lil' sis. I was going to give you breakfast in bed. It's almost done, go watch TV. I'll call you when it's done," she said. I nodded and rolled my eyes. I walked to the living room and plopped down on the couch.
Half an episode of NCIS and Cassidee was finally finished with the food. The aroma of pancakes, toast, scrambled eggs, and bacon filled my nose. She sat the plate down with a glass of Sunny D.
Once I finished my breakfast, I went back to my bedroom and looked at myself in the mirror.What should I wear today? Then there was a faint knock on my door.
"Come in," I said loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear. My door creaked open and my jaw dropped at the two people in my door way. They were my mom's professional hair stylist and her fashion designer. Mom's hair stylist has done from Victoria's Secret models' hair to England rotalty's hair. And mom's fashion designer has designed many amazing outfits for celebrities.
"Darling I haven't seen you since you were ten! What a beautiful young lady you are," Mom's hair stylist, Jasper said. I blushed and hugged him.
"And we hear you have a big concert today," Lucie, the fashion designer said.
"Yup and I'm so happy you two are here!" I said as I walked over to Lucie to give her a big hug. I have known them since I was born and they were like family.
Lucie told me to go to take a shower and I did. I dried off and put on my underwear and bra and then wrapped my robe around me. I sat down in front of my vanity desk with mirror while Jasper started working on my hair.
When he was done my hair was curly and perfect. I smiled at the sight and gave him a hug. Then I sat down again and he did my make up. He put water proof mascara (just in-case I start crying), eye shadow, eye liner, lip stick and lip gloss. Jasper says I look better without make up so he didn't put much on. I smiled at myself in the mirror and then walked to the walk in closet with Jasper and Lucie.
Lucie picked out a white tank top and skinny jeans with a leather jacket. "Simple but chic!" she said. I laughed and smiled.
Once I was ready, we all went to the concert. "So where are you two going to be sitting?" I asked when we reached the stage.
"We are going to be in the V.I.P. section. Good luck darlin'!" Jasper said. I rolled my eyes and met up with Cassidee, Evan, and Jesse in the back. They were still getting ready and I took my time to prepare myself. I pushed the curtains to the side a bit and looked at the crowd. Wow. There's gotta be like three thousand people here! Oh my god. I can't do this! I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Jesse. He looked at me in the eyes and nodded. It was like a silent way of telling me that everything will be okay. We did our routines before a concert and we all smiled.
I laughed and Evan and Jesse headed on to the stage. As soon as Evan and Jesse got on stage the crowd started cheering. Cassidee and i grabbed our mics and came on stage. The crowd went crazy and Cassidee sang first.
We sang Here We Go Again, Get Back, Edge Of Glory, and La La Land. The crowd was screaming their lungs out and I smiled. My throat hurt a bit because of all the high notes but I still continued to sing. I walked over to the mic stand and put my mic in it. "If you all don't mind I'd like to slow it down a bit," I said. The crowd cheered and my smile grew. "Well this is a new song and it's about lessons. We learn a lot of lessons in our life. Some are easy lessons, some are hard. Some we learn early in our life and sometimes we learn them too late. This is a song about a lesson I learned too late and it hurt someone I loved. This song is called 'Back To December and I hope you like it." The crowd cheered and Jesse counted us off. Evan started playing and Cassidee joined him.
"I'm so glad you made time to see me. How's life, tell me how's your family. I haven't seen them in a while. You've been good busier than ever. We small talk work and the weather. Your guard is up and I know why.
"Because the last time you saw me is still burned in the back of your mind. You gave me roses and I left them there to die. So this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night.
"And I go back to December all the time. It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missin' you, wishing I'd realise what I had when you mine. And I go back to December, turn around and make it alright. I go back to December all the time." There was a brief pause where only the instruments played and started singing again.
"These days I haven't been sleeping. Staying up, playing back myself leaving. When you're birthday passed and I didn't call. Then I think about summer all the beautiful times. I watched you laughing from the passenger side and realised I loved you in the fall.
"Then the cold came. The dark days when fear crept into my mind. You gave me all your love and I all I gave you was goodbye. But this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night. And I go back to December all the time. It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you wishing I'd realize what I had when you were mine. I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind. I go back to December all the time." Then it was only the guitars and the drums playing.
"I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile. So good to me, so right. And how you held me in your arms that September night, the first time you ever saw me cry.
"Maybe this is wishful thinking. Probably mindless dreamin'. But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right.
"I'd go back in time and change it but I can't. So if the chain is on your door. I understand," I sang. My lip started to quiver and I felt tears in my eyes, just thinking about Ross. "But this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night. And I go back to December. It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, wishing I'd realise what I had when you were mine. And I go back to December, turn around and make it alright. I go back to December and change my own mind. I go back to December all the time.
"All the time." Crowd roared as we finished. I smiled and looked around the room. Where's Ross? My smile faded but I sighed. I plastered on a fake smile and thanked and waved to the crowd. I walked back to the back stage and mom, dad, Jasper, Lucie, Cassidee, Evan and Jesse tackled me with hugs and told me how great I was. I forced a smile and hugged all of them.
"Aw honey you did a great job! You killed it!" Lucie said.
"Thanks. But he wasn't there." I said. Mom and dad poked me and pointed. I followed where mom was pointing and I gasped.
There in the doorway stood Ross Lynch, in a tux, holding a bouquet of roses. I smiled and ran over to jump in his arms. He came!! He actually came. "I came here to tell you something," he said.
I wiped away the tears and jumped off of him. "I love you Penelope," he said. I smiled and jumped in his arms again.
"I love you too, Ross," I said. We looked into each other's eyes. My eyes fluttered close and our lips touched and we kissed. This is really happening? I'm kissing the love of my life and he told me he loves me back!!!
