His Shining Star

8

It was the curtain call... the entire cast went in order of role. The ensemble lined up. Sebastian and I stood back stage behind a line of cast members.

"You killed it." He reassured me.

"Did I? I felt like I was going to be sick the entire time." I admitted.

"No one can play Wednesday like you did." He complimented.

"Stop being such a flirt." I teased as Idina and Dominic head into stage doing their final bows. Sebastian and I were next.

"Ready?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Let's do this." I smirked as we both walked onto stage with locked hands as the crowd roared. Sebastian bowed and I curtsied. The entire cast grabbed one another's hands and began to bow in unison. I just smiled as I took in the applause. I locked eyes with my glee friends. The entire glee club were a few rows back. I made sure to reserve their seats. I even bought one for Finn.

After the final curtain call, I made my way backstage to change and quickly get ready for the dinner. I looked in the mirror, and saw my reflection. My phone vibrated. I picked up my phone and saw that Sebastian sent me something. I unlocked my phone and saw he sent an old photo of him and I from back to after my very first show in West Side Story back at McKinley. I remember we took this phone after the show. I just smiled like an idiot. My heart skipped.

"There's my amazing actress." Jason startled me as I turned off my phone.

"Hey," I grinned as I hugged him and planted a peck on his lips.

"You did absolutely fantastic." He grinned.

"Thank you," I smiled.

"I bought these for you." He had a huge bouquet of roses. "Only for the best for such a beautiful lady."

"You didn't have to." I blushed.

"I want what is best for you." He nodded.

"I love you." I kissed him.

"I love you most." He grinned. "Alright, I'll let you change. Quinn told me to come in here and tell you to hurry up." He chuckled.

"Be out in ten." I nodded as Jason shut the door behind me.

I quickly changed out of my costume into a pair of jeans, blue sweater, and my coat. I slid my hair in a pony tail and wiped off my stage make up. Then, I put a little bit of natural make up so I didn't look so tired. Once I was ready, I hurried out with all of the flowers and cards I've gotten. I'll open them later after the dinner. I got into the front seat of Jason's car after I set everything in the back seats.

"Quinn has sent me the address earlier. It's not too far." Jason added.

"Sounds good." I nodded.

"Are you alright?" He asks.

"Just a little exhausted, but I mean, it's okay I guess." I shrugged.

"I can read your mind." He points out.

"What am I thinking then?" I furrowed my eyebrows as he began to drive off to the restaurant.

"Okay I can tell something is up. Not necessarily read your mind." He points out.

"I don't think being on some broadway show should deserve all of this extra attention. I mean you are doing good by serving in the military."

"Honey, I think you are just trying to avoid a party. If I know you like I do, you don't want to go." He brought up.

"How did you know?" I gulped.

"I mean, your dad has told me some things." He nodded.

"When did you and my dad become such good friends?" I gave him an odd look.
