"You were meant to me mine! I am all that you need! You carved open my heart, can't just leave me to bleed!" We were rehearsing 'Meant To Be Yours', and I really felt comfortable. Ever since the incident with Jack, I'd always felt right when I play JD. He seems like the villain, but he's really the hero. I know it. "VERONICA!" I scream, pointing my gun at the 'door'.
"Open the, open the door please." I jerk the gun, shaking. "Veronica, open the door!" I look away from the closet as I whine, "Veronica, can we not fight anymore please. Can we not fight anymore?"
"Veronica sure, you're scared, I've been there, I can set you free! Veronica, don't make me come in there. I'm gonna count to three," I growl. "One. Two. FUCK IT!" I pretend to shoot the door and run inside. When I see Eliza, pretending she's hung herself, I feel a tug in my heart. But, god, seeing her like that actually brought tears to my eyes. My voice cracked a I whispered, "Veronica…" As I sang my parts, I had to force the lump in my throat down.
We finished and the director yelled, "CUT! Good job, everyone. Okay, that wraps up rehearsal today. Everyone get home, and rest your voices. I need you all ready for opening night tomorrow."
As I remove my trench coat, I remember how quickly the last month has flown by. Jack was sent to jail, we've been rehearsing, and my relationship with Eliza has been flossing. After Eliza found out that Jack called himself in, she seems to have relaxed. She would allow me to get closer to her, I always respect her boundaries, of course, but we've gotten closer.
"Hello, cutie," Eliza sings as she skips up to me. She's removed her costume and had on a beautiful black, lacey dress on. As I look at her, i feel myself thinking about how good it would look off of her. "Ready for our date tonight."
"Our first official date." I'm wearing a button up white shirt under high waist black pants and a bow tie. "You ready?"
"Sure, soon as you tell me where we're going."
"Dinner and a movie, of course." I've set us up to go to my favorite burger joint and a replay of an old movie. A very special movie. "How does that sound, darling?"
Eliza takes my hand and kisses my cheek. "Sounds amazing."
I sqeeze her hand, enjoying her soft skin touching mine. "Then let's go."
