February 2024

JANE'S POV:
I had never thought of myself singing in front of so many unknown people (singing at my school was different, still terrifying but not like that) and furthermore that they would like it, after our performance was finished, the crowd went crazy starting to scream and shout my name because some of them knew me from Percy Jackson and The Olympians or because of my father's fame.

"JANE! JANE! JANE!" I heard a voice in the crowd screaming my name and as I looked more carefully I spotted Leena already standing up and cheering for me with her two friends, so everyone slowly followed after her and soon enough the whole crowd shouted my name. I smiled shyly at them while waving, what else could I have done, I felt thrilled because people liked my voice but I still didn't get over my anxiety.

Me with Lucy and Gia ran off the stage, the two girls giggling and screaming due to the adrenaline.
"You did... omg! I'm speechless!" Vivienne told me while pulling me into a hug, her voice was still hoarse and a tiny of a stuffy nose.

"I'm glad I could help" I mumbled as I hugged her back, yet looking over her shoulder I noticed Walker staring at me, with his hands in his pockets his eyes were glued to my direction. I knew that our little argument was bothering for both of us, maybe more for me because I hadn't seen that side of Walker in these two years since we have known each other.

"Miss... Jane?" me and Vivienne pulled away as a man with glasses suddenly showed up in the backstage, as I looked closely at him my heart stopped for a moment because I recognized it immediately. He was Jack Antonoff, the one who produced music for Taylor like the album 'Midnights' and for Lana's album 'Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd'.

"Yes.. yeah... it's me" I mumbled shyly, the man smiled warmly pulling out a card from his pocket and handing it to me.

"I would love to hear you sing in more private circumstances. When you feel like it, you can come to the address on the card" he added before excusing himself to leave, he had to return back to the jury.

"OH MY GOD! JANE!" Vivienne exclaimed through her hoarse voice and with mouth wide opened, my hands were trembling as I was reading the card from Antonoff.

"And the winner is... The Genies!" the host announced into the microphone, Lucy and Gia started crying while Vivienne hugged me tighter than even my parents ever had, she told me to go on the stage but I insisted for her to go because she was part of their band not me, eventually Vivienne joined the girls on stage.

As I turned around after cheering for the girls I met Walker's eyes again, he gave me a faint smile before going to where Leena and her friends were, I sighed knowing that our previous argument kind of messed something up and I felt terribly because of it, of course I was blaming myself again... how could I be so stupid? I had a boyfriend for a week only and I had already screwed things up...

The way home was awfully quite, me and Walker didn't even look at each other and kept a bit of a distance, after she and her friends split up, Leena stood only on her phone, suspiciously watching both me and Walker.

————————

It was the middle of the night, I was laid on my bed from Leena's bedroom, she was peacefully sleeping in her own bed few feet away from me. I could not find sleep nor it could find me, all I was doing was thinking about the offer Antonoff told me this evening at the music competition, it was exciting truly and maybe... just maybe... it could help me start something with my music obsession... still another thing that couldn't leave my head was Walker. We had never fought (if you could call that a fight) before when we were only friends, though I managed to ruin it in the first week since we had started dating... typically me.

So I got out of bed and silently went downstairs for a glass of water thinking that maybe it will calm me down, I checked my phone it was nearly 2 a.m, I had never stayed up so late.
As I stepped into the living room I made very slow steps to not wake anyone in the house, yet when I entered the kitchen I bumped into someone.

"Ouch!" I groaned slipping on the slippy gritstone, but the person was fast to catch me and I recognized Walker immediately.

"Jeans?! Why aren't you sleeping???" Walker mumbled surprised after he pulled away to turn on the light in the room.

"Firstly, thanks and secondly, I was a bit thirsty" I replied holding the glass of water then drinking it the first shot. I felt Walker's eyes on me like they did when we were in the park. I put the glass on the table and look back at him, some of us should have said something but it was silence again, I sighed and headed back to the stairs but Walker was fast to catch my arm.

"Jane, please... wait" his voice was low and smooth, my eyes widened because Walker rarely called me by my name and when he did so it meant something important, I turned my face around and peeked up at him.

"I shouldn't have snapped at you like that... I'm extremely sorry. I never meant to doubt you or anything, you have the most beautiful voice this world has ever heard... I was— I still am worried..." he was so kind, so sweet and caring to apologize for something he wasn't even his fault because Walker had every right to be mad at me for not being honest with him, he didn't have to say sorry for anything, I should.

"Walker... it's okay... really" I whispered with a small smile tugging on my lips, he moved his hand down on my arm to take ahold of my hand. "I should have been more honest..." I mumbled while Walker was shaking his head, he took my other hand aswell and brought them up to his mouth and kissed the back of my palms.

"No, if you don't feel comfortable to tell me then you don't have to—" Walker said while rubbing the skin on the back of my palms with his thumbs, my mind had only one thought:
how could I deserve this boy?

"I have anxiety disorder" I cut Walker off without realizing it, but I had to tell him the truth even if it meant that he will think I'm weird and all. " I know that you think I'm a freak and you want to break up with—" I continued but he interrupted me before I could say something more. "What?! How can you say that?!" he seemed surprised after what I've just said.

"Everyone thinks I'm bizarre because of my anxiety" I told him knowing how my ex best friends reacted when they found out about it, the only person who didn't judge me was my sweet bestie Emma.

"All of them are suckers then" Walker quickly added after me with a confident tone as I chuckled softly, he then cupped my face as he lowered his head a bit to be able to look straight into my eyes. "Don't. Ever. Even. Think. Such. Things. Again. I. Love. You. Just. The. Way. You. Are. Which. Is. Perfect" Walker added emphasizing every word especially the last one before kissing my forehead, I fought the tears that overcame me and embraced him tightly burying my face into his chest.

"We good, jeans?" Walker whispered hugging me aswell with his chin resting on my head while rubbing my back, i hummed a yes not wanting to leave this hug forgetting about the time and the fact that we had to be in bed sleeping at that hour, but nothing really mattered when I was with Walker... because I had everything just there and then...
