Until I Saw Her

Dressing Rooms

Renee's POV

I am laying in my bed...
Starring at the ceiling...

Asking the question again:

"What. Just. Happened..."

Memories came rolling in my head:

I stood by the balcony looking out...

I looked at the sunset that calmed me down. I am still shaking...

The sun had set and the NYC lights turned on...

I looked around seeing all my neighbors. The laundry women's lights are off..maybe she's sleeping and the cat is gone.

I look down at my other neighbor.

I saw him in his kitchen he looked at something or someone but i couldn't make out who or what he was looking at.

I asked the question again

"What. Just. Happened!"

I got cold and turned around, climbing through my window...

I went to change and go brush my teeth.
I went to my bed and stared at the ceiling

I am back to reality...

Still staring at the ceiling.
I can't sleep...
I stood up and brought my knees to my chin.

I looked out my window...

I starred at my phone.

I think I will feel better if i call Lin...

I got his number from Andy, our music composer...

I took my phone and tapped on his number.
I was a little scared I will interrupt him-

"Lin-Manuel Miranda whose speaking?"

I took some courage up and spoke to him. "Hey Lin... um I just want to know if your ok or else i won't sleep peacefully tonight..."

He sounded happy yet surprised hearing my voice:

"Renee!? Hi! Um...Yes you don't have to worry its just a scar it will go away eventually..." he laughed a little.

But I was still worrying: "You sure Lin? I feel really bad."

"Of course Renee! I am fine! And don't feel bad please or I'lĺ feel bad."

I breathed i sigh

"Ok...Then i won't bother you to long have a goodnight!"

"Goodnight!"

Just when i wanted to hang up I sat the phone back to my ear saying:

"Oh Hey Lin! Um...Thank you..."

He was a little silent but then responded:

"No problem Renee...Good night."

I smiled

"Good night Lin."

We hang up.

I put my phone back and tried to sleep. But without a struggle i finally fell asleep...

I woke up 5:00 am

I stood up... I felt a cold wind blowing in from my window.

"Wow its cold, better change my dressing attire.."

I went to my closet and got other clothes:
