As I opened the door,
I heard some one say, "So there you are young lady!" and my worst fears were
confirmed. My parents had come to Kel's after I didn't show up and they were
still waiting for me. I stepped inside and said, "Hey guys sorry I'm late did I
miss anything?" Obviously that was the wrong thing to say because at that they
freaked out even more yelling and saying stuff like, "Miss anything!! Yeah you
missed something!!" and "Young lady I'm so disappointed in you!!" and after
that it was pretty much what you might expect if you do something wrong and
your parents catch you. Finally Dad said, "Libby, your Mom and I have decided
that we are leaving 2 weeks early because of this, which is the day after
tomorrow, and that in the remainder of the time we are here you will stay in
the apartment no matter what!!" Then Mom added as her worry-wart self, "Unless
the building is on fire then you need to leave immediately, oh and I want you
to go study the fire escape map that I have prepared just for this occasion
since I know...." at that point my dad interrupted and said, "Honey, it's okay
it isn't going to burn down!!" "Okay then" she said hesitantly after a minute.
I stood there for a minute then I said, "Okay." And turned to go to my room. My
dad called after me, "And don't even think of sneaking out!!" "Awww," I replied,
"Oh alright." I went to my room.
The
next day I asked Kel, "Hey Kel why are mom and dad staying an extra day?"
"I cant tell you that it is gonna be a
surprise!" "Oh…. okay" I replied all the while thinking about what I could be
that was keeping them and extra day. I set it to rest and worked on a plan to
get out of the house and see Cooper. I thought about asking Kel then I thought
against it, if she found out that I wanted to go see Cooper then she would tell
mom and dad for sure. She was the one who told me not to see him in the first
place so she wouldn't help. Then I thought well maybe I can sneak out after Kel
left for work I headed onto the kitchen and Kel said, "oh and if you were
thinking about sneak out I will be checking up on you all day from work."
"Well
then im stuck!" I replied
"You
don't have to be!" Kel said surprising me.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well," Kel started, "I've decided to pay you
back now and let you out of the house!"
"Yes!!" I shouted and danced around the room. I went to my room and got my bag
and said, "Okay Kel lets go!" "Oh no, "she replied, "I'm not taking you
anywhere!" "What!" I asked, "I thought you said…" "NO I didn't say I would take
you anywhere but you can call somebody to come and get you!" "Oh yeah I will
call Lucas." I said. And went over to the phone and started dialing.
I got Cooper, "Hey Cooper!' I said, "Its Lib,
I've got some bad news."
"Oh
no!" he said, "What is it?"
"Well
I'm grounded cause of last night!" I replied
"Ahh…"
he started but interrupted and said," its okay Kel is gonna let me out if I
don't tell mom and dad about her and Jonathan! But…. you have to come and pick
me up if you want me to come practice for tonight!" "Okay," he replied," I'll
be right over!!"
I hung up the phone and went to go tell Kel.
A
few minutes later Cooper was there on his motorcycle and I was off to practice
for the best night of my life!
I
worked until 1:oo that day and then I went back to Kel's apartment and slept
for 2 hours until Lucas stopped by. He woke me up and told me that Jonathan
needed me to come down there immediately. He told me the problem, the other
costume designer said that the only red toe shoes that they had were in Jody's
size. And they had checked around town and nobody seemed to have any. I asked
Jonathan were Kel had gone and he said, "ummm…nobody can seem to find her."
"WHAT!!" I yelled, everyone turned and looked at me. I smiled stupidly and
said, "Sorry everyone,' then I turned back to Jonathan and said, "What do you
mean you don't know where she is?" "Well," Jonathan started, "we've looked
every where we called her cell phone the apartment and lots of other places and
she just seems to have disappeared!!" so for the next hour and a half when we should have been stretching we
were looking for Kel. Right when Jonathan was about to go look for Kel up
pulled a rusty old red truck and out of it jumped Kel. Jonathan ran over to her
and effulged her in the longest and most passionate kiss I had ever seen. Then
they stopped and Kel told us that her car had broken down and her cell phone
was at the house then she went inside. Cooper and I stayed outside. I looked at
Cooper and he said to me, "Lib, I hope that one day we will be that
passionate!!" I replied, "Why can't that be now?" then I turned to him and we
started the longest and most ready kiss ever (ours was even longer than Kel and
Jonathan's") we kissed until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I broke away from
Cooper and turned around it was my dad. I blushed and said, "Hey dad, umm..." I
trailed off and Lucas cut in and said, "Mr. Callaway, my name is Cooper Neilson
nice to meet you." My dad turned to him and "What the hell are you doing
kissing my daughter you are much to old!!" I interrupted his speech and said,"
Dad I'll tell you why…(I trailed off for a dramatic pause) because, because I'm
in love with him that's why he is kissing me and he loves me and if you don't
like that then I'm sorry I will leave you and mom and live with Cooper!" I
paused for a breath and dad said, "Libby I thought you knew better!! I trusted
you and now see what you have done! You have lost a lot of my trust young
lady." Then he turned to Cooper and said, "Young man I would greatly appreciate
it if you left my daughter alone from now on!!" "DADDY!!" I wailed "that is not
fair, I love him it will be like Romeo and Juliet all over again!!" I grabbed
Cooper and held him close and continued with my dad, "I will not leave this
parking lot without him." I was about to go on when suddenly the door on the
side of the theater came Jonathan and Kel they yelled over at us to come in not
seeing my Dad because he was in a shadow and then as they were going back in
they kissed under the light about the door. I looked at my dad when they did
that and I swear his face went another shade darker. Then he stormed over there
and started off on Kel and Jonathan. I looked at Cooper and we nodded our
heads; we had to get inside.
We went in and we were suddenly
swept up in the anticipation of the performance only an hour and a half away. I
hurried to put my makeup on, get dressed and get stretched out. After all that
was done I turned and looked around for Lucas, but I didn't see him so I ran
over to his dressing room. I knocked and he called back, "Come in." I went in
and I told him that we were going on in 45 minutes. He smiled and said, "You
worried?" I nodded and he said, "Come here baby." I went over and laid my
freshly done face against his chest and sighed. He encouraged me for the next
10 minutes when I heard the call for Jonathan's performance and I said, "I have
to go watch Jill!" I felt his laugh and I got up and went to the wings of the
stage. Jill simply became the princess and I felt the regal air about her and
almost wanted to bow in her presence. At the end of the performance she ran off
the stage and I heard out in the audience people yelling, "Bravo!" and
"Encore!" At that point I realized that Jill was defiantly going to have a spot
in the Company. I hugged her almost smearing my makeup and told her that she
was great. She replied, "I certainly hope so! Oh, and I'll be watching you and
rooting you on too!" I smiled and turned around to see Cooper standing there.
"We're on!" he said softly. I smiled wryly and went and stood ready for the performance
of my life.
