Elena's POV
At the crack of dawn, I sprang out of bed and did my morning routine before leaving for breakfast. Today, I woke up all refreshed and energized for one reason. I was super excited.
When I arrived downstairs, I walked to the kitchen and as usual, found breakfast prepared and served on the table. I sat down and began eating.
"Hey, Jake," I greeted once he appeared from where he had gone. He smiled at me and greeted back then sat down across from me.
"Why are you so excited? Usually, you're always so bummed when it's the weekdays," he said and looked at me. I guess he must have noticed how fast I was eating. I swallowed.
"Because the music competition is today! I practiced so hard for it!" I cheered. He paused and looked at me with a look I didn't quite understand.
Jake returned the fork back in the plate and tried to smile but it didn't work. I tilted my head in confusion.
I let out a giggle. "Why are you so sad? You should be happy, Jake! Or is it because of your annoying partner? It's okay! You'll just have to endure it till the end!" I exclaimed and he shook his head.
"There is no music competition, Elle," He muttered. I raised my brows and laughed.
"Yes, there is! It's today!!" I shouted. He shook his head once more.
"No there isn't, Elle. Don't you remember? You passed out for two days. It's over," he stated. I felt a tug at my chest once more. But this time, it was worse. It was as if the air in my lungs was knocked out.
I stopped eating and excused myself before running up the stairs and to Jake's room. I locked the door.
I gripped my hair and slid down the door, hiding my face in my knees and holding my legs tightly with my hands. I tried to calm down by taking deep breaths but nothing seemed to work.
I pulled out my phone and turned on some music. If there was anything that cooled me down, it was music. I began singing loudly to the song playing. It was one of my favorites.
I didn't want to cry, not now but I could feel the tears sting in my eyes.
Everything wasn't going as planned...everything just went down the drain like that...
First with my brothers, then with Lamar and now, the one thing I anticipated for weeks...
Something that I thought would bring some light to my life after being in the dark for so long...
The music competition...
GONE!! JUST LIKE THAT...
I sang even louder, pouring my heart into the lyrics.
