HSMTMTS

Over the next month rehearsals grew hectic. It was everyday after school, even occasionally a few hours on Saturday too. I grew accustomed to the nervousness I still felt around Peter during practice but I got use to it after a while, trying to focus on EJ or my friends instead. I wasn't going to let my old self complicate things for the new me during this production. 

Things were a little tense between EJ and I too, ever since he dropped the L-bomb... I kind of bee avoiding him a little apart from practice. We began hanging out less and less, the both of just claiming we were too busy or too tired to catch up. It honestly worked for me while I sorted my feelings out. 

So seeing as I was... kinda avoiding EJ, I may or may not have made a quick dash to the theater room when I saw him down the hallway. I lent my back against the door and sighed in relief, grateful for not running into him yet. A faint melody was coming from the stage so I moved closer, the sound of the piano keys filling my ears. Unfortunately, the girl, who I learnt a few weeks ago to be EJ's cousin, spun around so quickly in fright.

''I am so sorry, I didn't know anyone else was in here'' I apologized, sending her a smile. She sent a stiff one back and began packing away her things.

''Wait no-''

''I can be gone in like 7 seconds, 6 if I don't zip my bag...'' She stopped once she felt my hand on her shoulder, stopping her.

''Please don't, what were you playing?'' I asked nicely. She glanced up and sent a shy smile back, turning to face her music notes.

''Oh, that. It's um.... Miss Jen asked me to compose a song for my character. It's probably way too much. But I'm playing Miss Darbus, the teach...''

''I know who you're playing, Ashlyn. I sat across from you at the read-through'' We both nodded.

''Besides, your EJ's cousin'' I smiled. She frowned and quickly glanced away, shaking her head frantically.

''We don't have to talk about EJ'' She said, growing nervous again.

''Okay... what about that song then?''I asked with a hopeful smile. She sighs but nods her head, placing her slightly shaky hands over the keys. She began to play, a sweet melody sound drifting through the air around us. It was beautiful.

''Seems like a part of me will always have to lose... Every single time I have to choose... Swore that it felt right, but was I wrong?... Is this where I'm supposed to be at all?... I don't have the answers, not today... It' like nothing makes the questions go away...'' I couldn't help but to smile, loving the sound of her voice and the song. I bit my lip as I continued to listen to the lyrics, finding myself now leaning against the piano.
