That which we believed

Part 9

      The music started to sound. We stood on the 1st row. It's like I could feel the drummer's pounding deep inside. I was trembling myself, because of the strong sound waves, leaving the column that found right across from me. There was something bothering me. I've been staring at you for hours, trying to see Anna. But I didn't find it. I regretted my act.

-Are you ready:-The group's soloist asked us.

All they called in euphoria. I followed their example, although I didn't know what we really needed to prepare for. I just answered my own question soon. Everybody pulled their phones and hooked up their flashlights. People raised their hands high and moved them, leading the rhythm of the song.

-Now I'm going to call one of you here on stage:-Call the soloist again.

The cries of the mob gave him no chance to continue.

-and he's going to tell us who he wants to dedicate our next song to.

A million hands have risen up in the air. The projector was making circles over our heads.

-You:-said one of the members of the group.

The projector stopped moving. The crowd of people didn't allowed me to see the chosen one. People were pulling away making way for someone. A girl slowly climbed up the stairs to the wall. Her posture was talking to her instead. She was showing her confidence. When I turned my face to the audience, the blood stopped flowing through my veins. That was Anna.

-Well, honey:-said the Susheet, putting one hand on her shoulder.

It's like the blue and the eyes were trying to keep their eyesight open to find someone. Her lips were flabby and they acquired a very red color. Her forehead was mistaken and the cheeks were slightly raised. She seemed tense.

-Well, who do you want to dedicate our song to:-Ask her with a smile.

-I want to dedicate it to a boy:-he sounded confident:-the most eager and annoying person in the world. To the man who does not believe in love and happiness.

The audience was focused on her. I closely followed her every move, I sharpened her hearing for every word she had. I looked amazed, because I did not yet understand whether all this applies to me.

-Hopefully, this song prompts him to change.:-smiled satisfactorily.

Our eyes met. It's like obstrelvah her with laser beams. I was so furious. And she didn't do anything but smile and play with my nerves. I had my eyes in hers. I felt a slight trepidation, but I didn't pay attention.

-Can I get off:-asked, sounding so majestic.

-Yes:-replied the soloist, making and hand gestures.

Anna's point of view:

I was coming downstairs. They were slightly wet because of the rain. I just lifted my leg to get off the next step, but I felt a sudden and surprising trembling in the leg. The instability has gripped my body. I knew that at any moment I would fall and my collision with the earth would be quite painful. I had no time to resist gravity, which attracted me more and more. Cried. The fear made me close my eyes, but when I did, one hand was wrapped around my back. I still I felt afraid to open my eyes, but the serenity that I felt made me do it. After I recognized the man standing above me, I instinctively jumped. It was like I was burned.

-What there is to not be frightened:-asked me laughing

-Now you're trying to get back at me, right:-I was quite serious

-I'm saying, "Answer me, like a little child."

It sounded so innocent.

Well, it's not going to happen:-you told him and I took off
