Chapter 39- Stressful Rest

The dress rehearsal went horribly. Everyone was running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Some where trying to switch microphones while others where trying to run onto stage as to not miss their cues. Annie was distracted and messed up the 'Hannibal' scene and then when Jayden appeared in the mirror singing to her, she was so stunned at how dark and alluring he looked that she tripped over her nightgown and fell face first on the floor.

Michelle seemed to think that Annie's little clumsiness was the funniest thing she had ever seen, for she laughed for fifteen minutes about it. Annie blushed, but returned to her feet and tried to salvage the scene.

To top it all off the trap doors didn't seem to work correctly. In the masquerade scene Jayden went to disappear down into the stage and ended up standing looking rather surprised in a cloud of red smoke.

Michelle had another good laugh and was only silenced by Jayden's icy stare. She stopped very short, and looked down at the floor.

Annie went home feeling tired and extremely discouraged. She opened the door to her house, and finding no one home, she collapsed on the couch, but she didn't sleep. Her mind was far too busy for sleep.

"Did you really tell Josh that you would marry him?" Her mind scolded her.

She decided it was unhealthy to yell at yourself in your mind, so she sat up, and clicked on the TV with a nearby remote. Everything she flipped by made her think of Jayden. Even the beer commercials made her think of Jayden.

"I bet Rob was a drunk…" She thought during a Budweiser ad.

"Stop it!" The other little voice in her mind told her. "You are engaged to Josh!"

Then the other voice kicked in, "But is that really what you want?"

Annie stood up quickly. "I'll call Jenna." She said, aloud. Then she walked over to the phone, and flipping light switches as she walked, dialed Jenna's home phone number on the cordless.

The phone rang four times and then the answering machine picked up. "Hello, sorry we missed your call, leave your-" Annie hung up.

"Damn!" She swore loudly. She threw the phone on the couch, and looked around the room for something else to do. She found nothing. Not wanting to sit down and let her thought return to Jayden, she went up to her room, to start on her homework, which had been slipping lately.

Suddenly Annie found herself once again on stage during the 'Don Juan' scene, and once again she sang over and over again with Jayden, until at last she succeeded in ripping off the mask, only to reveal her father's face.

This time she didn't awake. Jayden had become her father, and her father reached out with one hand, to lay it lightly on her cheek.

Annie closed her eyes, to embrace the warmth of her father's hand, but she felt nothing. When she opened her eyes, her father was looking at her with disapointment. He frowned. "Why did you leave your teacher, ladybug? Why?"

"I'm sorry, father." She said, starting to cry. "I'm sorry…" She tried to grab her father around the shoulders but instead she felt her back hit the floor of her room.

She had fallen asleep in her desk, and she had had a very strange and scary dream… So scary that she was crying.
