Almost There Part 2
The ride to the party was long and silent. After getting bored of the silence and not being able to think of something to talk about, I turned on the radio. Give Your Heart a Break by Demi Lovato came on and I smiled.
"I love this song!" I said, "Do you know the music video will be coming out soon?" I looked at Chad.
"Of course I do! You told me as soon as you found out about it," Chad smiled, with his eyes on the road.
I smiled back and sat back properly in my seat again, singing the song in my head. I had learned the whole song on my guitar and piano. I also knew the lyrics by heart. My passion is to be a singer, just like Demi Lovato. Chad does not know about my singing skills though. I have always wanted to surprise him with a great stage performance, surrounded by people cheering me on. No one really knows about my talent except for my mom, dad and another person. I'll you about this "other person" later and how he/she found out.
Anyways, back to my role model Demi. She has inspired me so much that I have almost convince Mom to letting me get a "Stay Strong" tattoo on my wrists, just like Demi's. My mom, at first reluctant has thought through the idea and is on the verge of saying yes in a few days time.
I was busy dreaming about singing live in a concert and getting a tattoo, that I did not even realize that we were entering the gates to Chad's mom's boss's mansion.
As Chad parked the car behind his stepfather's car, I glanced at the mansion. It was beautiful and elegant, very elegant.
Chad took my hand and pulled me towards the mansion, while I searched my surroundings. As we grew nearer to the door, I could hear music playing and people laughing and talking inside.
Chad opened the door all gentlemanly and I walked inside, acting sophisticated. The inside of the mansion was much more beautiful and elegant than the outside and I could not help but gawk at it.
Don't get me wrong, my dad's a rich man and he has a mansion as big as this. The thing is that, it's not as elegant as this one. I'm just surprised at how a house can be so, so elegant.
Chad took me out of my trance by softly taking my hand again and I noticed that many pairs of eyes were on me. After noticing their stares, I took a look at their clothing. The men were wearing black and white suits and the women were wearing similar dresses as mine but the color of their dresses were of a much lighter shade. Thus, making me stand out more because of my brighter and darker colored dress.
Chad dragged me away from all the stares and I recognized Mrs. Cooper, sitting near the stage, beckoning us to come over. Mrs. Cooper was sitting with Frank and some other middle-aged looking men and women.
"Oh my word! You look beautiful, Sonny!" She gasped and ran over to hug me in her white platform heels.
"Thank you, Mrs. Cooper. You look very pretty too," I said timidly. Chad's mom, obvious to her good looks, looked stunning in her white strapless, cocktail dress.
"Oh, how sweet of you, Sonny," She smiled at me once again before she continued, "This is my boss Mr. Harrison and his wife Mrs. Harrison," She pointed to a couple who looked like they were in their fifties. "And these are my colleagues, Janice, Mark, Thomas and Emily," She pointed to four people in their mid-thirties sitting beside each other, respectively. Chad and I smiled at them waiting for our introduction. "And this is my son, Chad and his beautiful date, Sonny." She concluded, taking a deep breath and sitting back down in her seat.
Chad and I sat down beside each other in the empty chairs between Mr. and Mrs. Harrison. Mr. Harrison started talking to Chad about something while Mrs. Harrison spoke to me, "What a pretty name, dear. Does it stand for another name?" She asked, with kind eyes.
I smiled, "Thank you and yes it does. It stands for Allison."
"Oh, what a coincidence! My daughter's name is Allison too! Pity she couldn't join us today. She has been taking summer courses at her university. She is going to be a doctor from Harvard!" She said excitedly, obviously proud of her daughter's achievements.
"You must be very proud of her," I said, smiling at her kindly.
"Oh yes! Being my only daughter, I have always taught her to get what she wants by working hard for it. She listened to me and got where she is today! She's the best daughter ever!" She explained, grinning widely.
"That's amazing! I would love to meet her one day," I told her. Allison Harrison, seems like an interesting person, not some brat I expected their kids to be like.
"She will love to meet you too, dear," She said kindly, "Give me your number, so that I can call you to come with us to the theater or amusement park someday."
"That would be nice, my number is..." And we continued talking for half an hour until Mrs. Cooper called me over to talk to me.
I walked towards her and asked, "Hi, do you need me to do something?"
"I want you to sing!" She whispered to me.
And she is the "other person". She found me singing my song "This Is Me" on my piano, in my piano room, one day when she came over to visit my mom while Chad was at school. I was sick that day and I got bored of lying in bed so much that I sneaked in my piano room and started to sing. It was five years ago, and since then I have made her promise to keep it a secret from everyone, especially Chad.
"What! Why?" I asked, shocked.
"Because the owners of Hollywood Studio's and many other record companies owners are here. If they hear you sing they'll have to sign you up!" She explained, rather rapidly.
"What? It's a great opportunity but I want everything to be set…"
"The stage is set and ready! I have prepared everything for you and all you have to do is sing!" She cut me off by saying this.
"Um, okay. But what song do I have to sing? And what have you prepared?" I said, reluctantly.
"Lightweight by Demi Lovato. I know you love that song. The people backstage will explain it all to you, now come on!" She said, as she dragged me backstage.
A man in his late twenties approached us. "Good you're here. We've got everything ready and I can see the singer is ready too. By the way, my name is Daniel." He grinned and shook my hand.
"Daniel here will tell you everything you have to do. See you on stage!" And with that she walked away.
I looked at Daniel and he started to explain everything. I started to get a good feeling about this performance and thought, this is my chance! I have to do this!
After about five minutes or so, it was time to for me shine in the spotlight for once. I stood in front of the curtain, ready as I could ever be.
The curtain opened and I started singing,
The slightest words you said
Have all gone to my head
I hear angels sing in your voice
When you pull me close
Feelings I've never known
They mean everything
And leave me no choice
My feet swiftly went up the ground and I closed my eyes as I sung,
Light on my heart, light on my feet
Light in your eyes I can't even speak
Do you even know how you make me weak?
I opened my eyes and I saw all eyes on me. I was flying in the air. I searched through the pair of eyes for a special pair. Soon I found the ocean blue eyes I was looking for looking at me, shock and surprise apparent in his eyes. I smiled and continued,
I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
I couldn't help but feel lightweight and happy. I noticed that the shocked expression on Chad's face replaced with a much more happy and proud expression.
Make a promise, please
You'll always be in reach
Just in case I need
You there when I call
This is all so new
Seems too good to be true
Could this really be
A safe place to fall
Light on my heart, light on my feet
Light in your eyes I can't even speak
Do you even know how you make me weak, oh whoa?
I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling down
Drowned in your love
It's almost all too much
Handle with care
Say you'll be there
Oh, I'm a lightweight
Better be careful what you say
With every word I'm blown away
You're in control of my heart
I'm a lightweight
Easy to fall, easy to break
With every move my whole world shakes
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling apart
Keep me from falling apart, oh
Falling apart
I finished with a huge grin on my face as the crowd burst with applauds and cheers. I reached the ground and saw that Chad was chanting my name Sonny! Sonny! Sonny!
I ran over to our table and I received some 'you were amazing' and 'that was beautiful' from everyone. As I proceeded to Chad, Mrs. Cooper came towards me with a man beside her and a camera in hands. The man smiled at me and as soon as he reached me, he said, "Hi, I'm Marshall Pike, I work at the Hollywood Studio, and the owner of it who is here with me, saw your performance and he wants to meet you this week. What do you say? This is our number, by the way," He handed me a card and I grinned widely at him.
"I would love to come and meet him. Um, I'll talk to my mom about it and I'll give you a call. Just in case, here is my number," I said, as I wrote down my number on a piece of empty paper I found in my purse.
"Nice meeting you, Sonny. Hope to see you soon." He said, and walked off.
"Thank you! Bye!" I called back. He turned to look at me and smiled as he walked off again.
"Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this! This was just amazing! Thank you!" I babbled excitedly.
"No problem, Sonny. And I also got the whole performance on tape!" She exclaimed and went to Frank excitedly.
"That was so amazing, Sonny! Why did you never tell me that you could sing so well!" Chad chattered on.
I laughed and said, "I wanted to surprise you like this. And Thank You!"
The night went on with all of talking and dancing. The food was amazing and soon the night came to an end.
I said goodbye to every single person in the party and promised to meet them again.
Chad and I got in the car and drove in silence tired of all the fun and excitement of this night.
What seemed like hours later, we approached my house and Chad stepped out with me to see me off.
"I had an amazing day, Chad," I grinned at Chad, as we reached my house's door steps.
"So did I," He smiled. I looked into his eyes as he stared into mine. Soon, we were inches away from each others lips, when Chad's phone rang.
He picked the phone up, sounding rather mad about something, and spoke, "Hello."
"What? You're moving back? Yeah, yeah. Nope. Okay great! See you in two days! I can't wait. Bye!"
"Who was that?" I asked curiously.
"Jenna. She's moving back and she wants to get back together. I said yes!" He told me, looking into my eyes, searching for something.
I looked away from his eyes. Jenna was his ex-girlfriend. She was one of his worst girlfriends he could ever have. She cheated on him and he had no clue, he still didn't. It was like she hypnotized him into something he was not. He was different around her. She changed him and not in a good way. Gladly, she had moved away, before the courage of telling the truth about her came to me. But before leaving, they had promised each other that they would get back together, if she ever moved back and they were single at the moment. Jenna obviously was a slut. Even the guys knew about her. But Chad will never believe us over that witch. I even saw her casting a spell on him once! I'm serious! There is something wrong about her that Chad does not know about! And they have only dated for 3 months! This was a year ago. I guess she's back and Chad being Chad can't break his promise. Now I have to gang up with Tawni again to break these two up. I tried to stop the tears from coming but they too hard fast to stop.
"I have to go. It's getting late, bye!" I quickly opened the door and closed it. I heard a quick Bye! from Chad and saw him walk to his car, looking back once again with a worried look on his face and then stepping into his blue convertible and driving off, through the curtains of the window beside the door.
I hurriedly went upstairs to my room, trying not to disturb my mom, who was snoring on her pillow softly. I gently closed my room's door and I burst out crying. I quickly changed into comfortable clothing and slid into my bed.
The best day in my life turned into one of the worst because of JENNA! I hate her!
