Beating.

It got louder and louder with each second that past on the clock. Making it's way towards almost 7 o'clock, that was when Esme would begin her show and hopefully not make a fool of herself.

Her mother made sure she was all set and ready to perform before heading over to a booth not to far away incase anything happened.

Three minutes until seven and Esme's heart was thumping like the sound of a thousand galloping horses on the beach. She tried to steady her breathing as much as she could, breathing in and out gently and steady.

Finally, 7 o'clock rolled around and it was time to put on the performance of a life time. Or well...Esme's life time.

'Let's make this fleeting moment last forever
So tell me, what you waitin' for?
I'm gonna keep it frozen here forever
There's no regretting anymore

As Esme looked out into the distance, she thought she saw a familiar face, but couldn't exactly decipher who it was. Her eyes closed once more as she tuned in the music and found the right pitch once again.

It's worth to wait, even so far away
I'm making the night mine until the day I die
No light to break when you're hangin' by fate
You know what it feels like when you're dancing blind

Everyone was staring at this beautiful, young girl who had the voice of an angel. Elizabeth took in the serenity and soulful noise that her daughter produce from just her voice and lungs. Everyone was under a complete spell without even noticing it.

All alone just the beat inside my soul
Take me home where my dreams are made of gold
In the zone where the beat is uncontrolled
I know what it feels like
Come on, make me feel alive!
Feel alive...

In the back, leaning against a pillar was one of Esme's class mates. Someone who she tried so hard to read and get to know, but to no avail would he let his guard down for anyone. Esme's heart was beating like a steel drum, but it was more euphoric then nervousness now.

Meet me under shining lights
I've been waiting right here all my life
Feelings you can't deny that you're living
Open up your eyes
And I just wanna sink into your crazy laughter
Come on make me feel until the pain don't matter
Every second here makes my heart beat faster
Finally think I found what I'm chasing after

The way that Esme's soul felt in that moment made everything she felt suddenly..disappear. She wasn't thinking of her father or the people at school who made her feel unwelcomed. She felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders, and she could finally express herself in the only way she knew possible.

All alone just the beat inside my soul
Take me home where my dreams are made of gold
In the zone where the beat is uncontrolled
I know what it feels like
Come on, make me feel alive!
Feel alive...
Come on, make me feel alive!
Feel alive...
Come on, make me feel alive!
Feel alive...'

As the music suddenly came to stop, one by one everyone started to clap for the young 14 year old artist in the making. Her voice was angelic and made the night blissful for everyone once again. Even in the back, there was a impressed Warren Peace who had to soon return to the dishes and bussing that had piled up from lack of attention.
