Paralyzed Heart

Showtime? Not so much!

***Ending of the last chapter***

"There's a lot of things you don't know about me, Jakey."

He let out a little laugh and we walked to the auditorium together.

Mia's POV

The final rehearsal went smoothly, without any laughing fits and insults until the kissing scene.

"I can't do this.s" I whined and everyone tried convincing me because Mr. Fitz nearly fainted due to this problem.

"Dude, it's just one kiss! Why are you making such a big deal out of it?" Rachel added.

"Easy for you to say!" I snapped.

"Please, Mia." Mr. Fitz pleaded. I looked at Jake and he had his hands in his pockets while leaning at a wall, not giving a damn about what was going on around him. I was about to speak when he suddenly interrupted

"Guys don't force her. All of you know she'll have to do it when the time comes." He looked at me and gave his signature smirk.

Asshole! I swear I'll kill that guy one day!

"How do I know for sure that she'll do it?" Mr. Fitz asked Jake while I just stood there, trying to think whether running away would be a good idea or not.

"Last time I checked, you have the authority to control her grades sir. I don't think destroying her result would be too hard for you."

Did he just? Screw you, Anderson!

****Day of the play****

I changed into my dress, it was a white gown with golden swirls. Thank god Mr. Fitz agreed to alter it and cut down some frills! Surprisingly it turned out to be beautiful and elegant. I did light makeup and tightly curled my hair.

"Oh my god! You look gorgeous, Mia!" Rebecca looked at me impressed and I gave her my best smile.

"Was Lady Capulet actually that hot?" I complemented and she flipped her hair dramatically.

"Guys, have you seen my heels?" Rachel came out of no where looking extremely sexy. She wore a red velvet dress and had dark makeup on.

So that's why she borrowed my red lipstick!

We were all backstage and after drooling over Rachel's looks, Rebecca went away to find her heels and I was left alone. I could here the people gathering in the auditorium. I lightly flipped back the red curtain that seperated me from the crowd and found a massive number of people, among them were my mom and Aunt Lessie. I wasn't surprised to see all those people because our school had put up posters of our play all around town. Jake and I had spent hours posing for them! I applied one last coat of lip gloss when a group of camera men came back stage.

Ugh, mom's paparazzi!

I don't understand this shit, my mom is the one whose the fashion designer, why make my life miserable? I smiled for a few pictures when Jake came along. We posed for a few pictures together and then the stupid people started asking queations.

"How does it feel to work with the daughter of the most famous fashion designer?" A dude in a black shirt asked Jake.

"Well, it has been a tough couple of days but she's got me going." Jake answered with his charming smile. He is awesome with paparazzi!

"So, Mia. What do you have to say about the son of the most influential and successful bussines women?"

"Um, he's funny, he's really talented, annoying sometimes but amazingly cute!"
