Gerry ISU Chick04- I think you are always the first one to review my latest chapters. You must have too much time on your hands.

Willow Rose- Is he though... I had a guy hit a wall for me once... He was mad because I got a threatening email from my ex. He hit a wall and then told my ex that if he didn't leave me alone he was going to, (And I quote) "Shove you into a possition that would make it physically possible for you to lick your own ass." Isn't that cute?

PhantomAngel- Josh is the one with blonde hair. In chapter 11 it I said that he had Honey colored hair, or blonde.

Keeper Music Night- Yuppers! Good, at least you don't hate josh anymore... Opening night will be in a little while.

Crystal Sister- I have put you into such a conflict, haven't I? And you love it!

Anya and Hikaru- Is there really two of you, or is it one of you with two voices...? BTW My friend's name is Annie, but that is not who I based my character on. Are you a (or two) new reader(s)? (Kuddos to you)

Kadaj- Yes... poor wall.
Emma-J-Riddle- Here ya go! Hope you like!

EmilyWillow- I can't tell you (Hahahahahahahahahahaha) Are you a new reader? (Kuddos to you)

Maluruloki- He was mad. He was pretty damn mad... at Jayden, and rightly so! Yeah, if Jayden walked up to me in a
Don Juan costume I may take up being a slut just for him.

India Pyro- Fine, I will, and you will like it!

Silinde- What does your name mean? The Angel's Maggie- Yup, who would've thunked it... He did seem gentle, but as we all know, he will come to Annie's rescue when she needs it... I think.

Amaterasu- Wow! Graduation? Big step... I'm still two years from that... but I am playing the first bassoon part at graduation! (Not that that compares to accually graduating)

Horror fanatic6990- I wonder as well, I mean... I have all power!

RoSeQuEen- I wouldn't either! I love him! I'm so glad you thought of him that way, but I wanted him to really have a little bit softer features than Gerry, (Because Gerry's striking features are sooooo hot) but have Gerry's hair, as Gerry has the BEST hair... Yeah... hair...

Wow, alot 'o' reviews, thank you all!

Chapter 34- Dreaming of You

"Oh my god, I am so excited." Jenna squealed. Jenna's voice was so loud that Annie had to pull the receiver from her ear for a moment. "Can you believe it? Four days, Ann, four days." Jenna squeaked, causing Annie more discomfort and her ears to ring.

Annie muttered that it was 'cool'. Jenna was silent for a moment, and Annie thought for a moment that she was going to ask her about Jayden, but Jenna seemed to think better of it. "I am bringing my whole family!" Jenna said. "My mom is soooo excited to see you up on stage. Should I bring a date? Do you think it would be worth it?"

"Sure, Jen, but I gotta go." Annie said. "My grandma needs help with dinner." She lied. Her grandmother wasn't even there. "Bye." Jenna told her goodbye and Annie hung up. She lay on her bed head swimming with thoughts of Jayden.

He had been coming very close lately. She knew that he felt her mentally pulling back, but she also knew that he probably felt her physically pull closer. He had come to her in her dressing room only a week and two days before. She still remembered how dashing he had looked in the tightly fitted black suit and the cape, which was hooded to cover his face in the scene.

Two days ago, on Saturday, before Jayden and Annie's practice, Jayden had gone into a specialist and the impressions for the mask had been taken. Jayden had smelled like plaster all day, and his hands had been very rough, though his face, now void of the dark burses and ugly cuts, had seemed somehow softer. Jayden told her that he hated masks.

Jayden had celebrated his eighteenth birthday on Thursday night. He and Annie went out for dinner instead of practicing and when they returned to Jayden's house, she once again conceited to him kissing her on the forehead. (A/N ON THE FOREHEAD!) She once again shivered and when he pulled away from her, a look of great disappointment and sadness crossed his handsome face. She tried to say something worthwhile to him, but found herself stuttering and him, only becoming more disappointed.

Annie dosed off and dreamt of Josh standing in Box Five watching herself and Jayden perform the 'Don Juan' scene over and over again. It was exactly as it had been in the technical run-through the day before, except that Annie wore the beautiful white wedding dress from the last scene.

The scene went over in her mind several times, going without a hitch, and starting over when Annie pulled off Jayden's mask. Finally, when she pulled off Jayden's mask for the last time, her father's face was there.

It smiled at her, and she felt herself begin to fall down into the darkness, her father's face hovering in a beautiful, unearthly light just above her head, and then, without warning, her father's head burst into flames.

Annie awoke with a start, and breathing heavily, she glanced down at her alarm clock. It read five till eight. Annie cursed loudly, "Shit!" Then, murmuring several other unladylike profanities, she hurried out the door.

Annie worried the whole way there, hoping that she wouldn't be too late. It was fifteen after eight when she pulled onto Jayden's street. She looked to Jayden's house, and found she was not his only visitor. Parked in a row of five or six were police cars and an ambulance.
