Beautiful Tyrant

Chapter 7

So it's been a week since the huge party and something that not most people didn't know was that I was a singer in chorus. Only a select few knew about it and today was an audition for a solo part in a song we were singing for our spring concert. I was so nervous for it because I have been trying to get a solo part since middle school and I haven't yet. Music is a big part of my life, both of my parents were in choir and almost all of my family were in choir. It's in my blood. Dean knew I was in chorus but he didn't really understand how much this solo part meant to me. 

I went up for my audition and there were several other girls up with me and they were all better than me but I tried to stay positive. I heard a few girls sing before me and it was just gorgeous. 

*In Lydia's thoughts*

"I've got no chance of getting this part. I can't beat these girls."

Then it came to me. I was shaking, sweating, and I could just feel my muscles tensing up when the teacher said my name. She gave me my starting note and a chord to go under me. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't keep myself from shaking. My knees were buckling, muscles were tensing, mind was racing. It felt as if all my thoughts were cars in a race trying to win which one would be thought of first. Then within a split second the thought of Dean popped in my head and I felt a slight relief in my body. This all happened within a few seconds and in another half second I was singing. To be honest I blacked out for a quick second and when I became conscious again I was finished. 

Everyone said I did so good but I didn't really believe them. After hearing all of us once, she asked to hear me and a few other girls again. Of course I think that this is a good thing, however it would prove no significance. She heard us all a second and third time and then she told me and two other girls to go sit down and with those few words my heart had been broken once again for the millionth time. I tried to keep myself from breaking down in tears. But honestly at this point in time I was used to disappointment.  

The bell rung and as I walked out the door I slammed it against the wall and when I looked up I saw the most wonderful handsome man standing there waiting for me. As I went up to him he says,

"So how'd it go?"

"I didn't get it."

"Oh well you will get'em next time baby. I just know it, and even if u don't I know that you are the most amazing, beautiful, and incredible singer I know."

"Thanks honey but what's the use in trying anymore? I've been trying since 6th grade and it's my senior year."

"Yes baby it's your senior year that's exactly why you have to try at least one last time. And this time give it your all and show them that they were wrong to not give you the parts all those years."

"How do you always know how to get me motivated?"

"Because I know my loving and stunning girlfriend enough where I can make her feel anyway I see right."

"Yeah and I can do the same with you."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

That day also happened to be 2 days before spring break so everyone was hyped up for that. The next day it was a day before spring break and to be honest no one was paying attention to anything other than the clock. 

As Nancy, Myriam, and I sat in class we watched as the people around us made there plans for the next week. So I decided to text Dean to see what he was doing.

*typing sounds from Lydia's phone*

Lydia: "Hey honey"

Dean:"Hey babe"

Lydia:"What you doing?'

Dean:"Lunch"

Dean:"You?"

Lydia:"Boring chorus."

Lydia:"So question."

Dean:"Answer."

Lydia:" What do you wanna do for spring break?"

Dean:"Oh ya that's coming up ain't it?"

Lydia:"Lol ya."

Dean:"Well our 4 month anniversary is like 4 days."

Lydia:"True"

Lydia:"Oh ya you're planning it this month."

Dean:"Ya I am"

Lydia:"So what are we doing?"

Dean:"IDK yet"

Lydia:"Ok? Well we don't have to do anything"

Dean:"Oh no we are definitely doing something."

Lydia:"Ok only if your sure you wanna do something and spend your money on me."

Dean:"Are you kidding me of course I wanna do something and I couldn't dream of spending my money on anyone else"

Lydia:"Are you sure?"

Dean:"Yes if course"

Lydia:"Ok honey"

Lydia:"I love you."

Dean:"I love you too."
