just my luck.

It was like my heart had stopped beating. Everyone around me cheered and hugged. Deb was jumping up and down with joy, and the girls were crying. I couldn’t move. My brain had forgotten how to make everything work. You did it baby was all that was playing through my mind. You actually did it.
I couldn’t take my eyes off Reece. He was crying, and it took a lot for him to cry. I could tell that he was proud of himself too. He looked at me. I love you so much, he mouthed. I broke down into tears, crashing to the floor. Everything was just too overwhelming for me. Had he really just won The X Factor, or was I dreaming?
It’s a nice feeling when the person you’ve loved and supported for such a long time finally achieve the goal they set out for themselves, when they finally start living their dream. You feel like things are starting to look up.
