"BEN..." I walk down the stairs a little, as I look at him. I walk towards him and Precious, who plays Uma. "Ben, look at me." Precious looks at me afraid to lose him as she looks back at him.
"No, look at me. You love me, remember?" She said as I didn't look away from his eyes, his precious beautiful brown eyes. "No, you don't."
"Yes, you do." Zach looks at Precious as she annoyingly said that, "Ben, look at me." I said as he looks at me again. "Bring down the barrier now!" Uma angrily shouted to Fairy Godmother, who plays by Miranda as she gasps.
"I do NOT take orders from you!" "Ben?!" Precious looks at him impatiently waiting for Fairy Godmother to bring down the barrier. Okay, this is the hardest part. I don't know if I'll cry or not. I have to cry in front of the crowd, yes, it's show day. I'm nervous and my anxiety is slowly kicking in.
"Ben, I never told you that I loved you because I thought that I wasn't good enough. And I thought that it was only a matter of time before you realized that yourself." I said as I'm tearing up, this is it. It's like I'm pouring my feelings to him, not that I'm actually doing that, but yeah.
Did I mention that I like him?
"But, Ben, that's me! I'm part Isle and part Auradon." I point at the painting that the group of arts and crafts made as he turns around to see it. It's so beautiful, to be honest. They made the exact art piece from the movie itself! It's crazy!
"Ben, eyes over here." Uma grabs his wrist as he looks at her, "And, Ben, you've always known who we were- and who we can be." He looks at me with a poker face. "Don't listen to her," Uma said.
Oh god, this is it. I take a deep breath. Come on, Lavender. It's just a play. This isn't real. Just do it and it's fine. "Ben, I know what love feels like now." I give him a small smile as I start to cry.
"Ben, of course, I love you. Ben, I've always loved you." I said and I pull him closer to me for a passionate kiss as we close our eyes. I slowly pull away as he looks at me and smiles. "Mal." I giggle as we hug each other as I smile.
I know, I know I like him. We knew more of us everyday because of this play. I just- I feel so safe when he's around... I just... I feel butterflies in my stomach.
"True love's kiss. Works every time." I heard Christina, who plays Evie said it.
"Ugh, give it to me!" Precious, who plays Uma, said. She approaches the Fairy Godmother as Miranda puts the wand on her other hand puts it up high so that she can't reach it. "No! Guards, seize her!"
She glances at us as she runs to the edge of the boat as if she's gonna jump, but as soon as she did, the lights went out. It means the scene is over and have to get ready for the next one.
I quickly run to backstage, covering my mouth as I didn't care who tries to call my name. My heart is beating fast, I was running out of breath. I hear someone, it must be Daniel. I hear them come closer to me as I look at them, I couldn't see who it is due to my tears flowing down.
"Just breathe, Lav."
I was having double visions and I was starting to panic more, the whole world was starting to spin and a blur to me. Is it the end? "Lavender? Look at me, we're going to the hospital, is that okay?"
Hospital? I haven't been there since what happened years ago. I shake my head ' no' as someone carries me in bridal style. I try to get off, but I couldn't. They're too strong. "Hey, Lav. It's okay. I'm here." I look who it was, trying to identify who but he put my head on his neck.
It's him. "Go to sleep, Lav. We're gonna wake you up once we're all there." He said, I suddenly feel the cold breeze of California, we're outside the school. The sky's dark, no sun. It's night.
"Zach?" I whisper, I don't know what to do. He pulls me closer to him more as I put my arm around his neck. "Everything's okay, precious. It's okay." That the last thing I heard from him before everything went black.
