It had been 3 weeks. Three weeks since I had woken up, three weeks since I had escaped the past forever, three weeks since I had to practically stay in bed and do nothing. I was currently facing the high school doors, that, in my opinion had never been bigger. I took a deep breath and gave a squeeze to the hand I was currently holding, Jack's...
In this three weeks I had found out that the singing competition had been delayed for today, therefor allowing me to participate as well. The principal had smiled when I asked him how that happened and just said that I was more special than I thought. I bit my lower lip and looked up at the tall brunette.
"You ready?" He asked, his voice kind just as usual. I gave a firm nod and made the fist step towards the door. As I pushed it and entered the school, I was engulfed in hugs. Most of the people I didn't even know, but they knew me. They all told me they were happy I was back and though I knew they didn't know too much for me and neither cared so much I was happy they actually remembered me.
The day went by unnoticed almost, just the same routine every class, every break: greet, accept the usual 'I'm glad you're back' and move on. The end of the day announced the contest. And as it got closer and closer I was getting even more nervous about.
I hadn't practice once, not to mention I barely read the lyrics. It was an original song but I could still sing off key. And no, I did not want that. The whole thirty minutes I had left backstage had flew by and I heard my name being called. Loud applauses were heard at the mention of 'Kim Crawford' as I shyly made my way to the middle of the scene, where the beautiful piano was laid. The microphone was just right and I didn't feel like talking so I pulled my songbook out and pressed the first note. After that, it all gone simple.
Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as it's ending,
like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel like, there's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glassLike I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while I bleed
All my windows, still are broken, but I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Go run run run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear yeah
Go run run run yeah it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glassLike I'm made of paper
Ohh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

There was a long moment of silence and everyone was staring straight at me. No one dared to make even a simple, unnoticeable move, actually, it looked like no one breathed... Then the silence disappeared. In its place Loud applauses erupted, coming from everyone... And anyone. I smiled widely at the positive response of the crowd and easily made my way out of the scene, making sure I looked one more time at the enthusiastic crowd. I had no idea I was that good, but judging by the still hearable applauses I must have been. I smiled to myself and went to get my few things, letting the present or speak and the show going on. As I reached the bench where my bag laid, a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around my waist, pulling me closer to the well known person.
"You were great up there." A voice said sending shivers down my spine. I turned swiftly to look at the beautiful brow eyes I had fallen in love with before smashing my lips on his. I smiled during the kiss, knowing I was done being sad, done being afraid. We pulled away and soon enough our big group reunited, everyone congratulating me.
"Kim! You were great!" Mika said in her wired accent that I had grown to love.
"Great?!" Grace exclaimed, cutting her off. "Kim, you were incredible! Wonderful, Magical.." I cut her off, knowing she would just go on and on and on. "Thanks, girls!"
"Kim, your voice was so majestic." Milton said, allowing Julie to continue.
"Yeah, like you really felt every single word you sang."
It was true. I had written it in the past days, putting all my emotions into it, letting it all out in that single song.
"It was impressive, really!" Eddie added and I smiled at all their compliments.
"Yo, who's hungry!" Jerry asked and everyone but him erupted in laughter.
"What? What did I do?" The latino asked confused, as usual. I shook my hand and grabbed Jack's hand while heading to the school entrance.
"Well, are you all just gonna stand there or are we going to eat?" I asked half way to the door.
Everyone soon followed and we all went to Falafel Phil's. Somehow that stinky, gross food actually made us all have fun and just laugh. I didn't know if I was going to win or not but all I knew now was that I no longer had to worry about my life.
Yep...I know... Almost 6 days... AGAIN... But! I have a tiny little surprise for ya all in the next(and last) chapter... But until then...
