LIFE CAN CHANGE- Aaron Tveit

CHAPTER 14

Chris yelled and banged on the door but I ignored him. I sat on my bed crying but soon after the tears stopped and I felt relaxed. I knew it will be ok. Chris was always holding me back and he's also the one who always made me feel like I’m not worth much and won’t succeed without his help. He's the one that put in my head the bug that I won’t pass the bar.  I actually felt relieved. I felt as if I could do anything I wanted.

But Chris was still here and wouldn’t leave which really annoyed me. I decided to call Aaron, I knew he'd be more than happy to kick Chris out of here so I called him and explained to him that I broke up with Chris and it'd be great if he'll come to get rid of him. I explained to him where the key was so that he'd be able to come in and in the meantime I lay down on my bed waiting for him to come.

A while later I woke up on my bed. I must've fallen asleep waiting for Aaron to come. I unlocked my door and went out. I saw Aaron lying down on the couch with the TV on in front of him. How long was I asleep? I checked the time and it was already 9pm. I must’ve been asleep for 2 hours. I didn’t know what to do with Aaron. I wanted to wake him up and thank him for coming and getting rid of Chris but he looked so comfortable like that on the couch.

I decided to make dinner and to wake him up when it will be ready. I put on my mix cd which is full of songs from all of my favorite musicals. I always cook with that cd on. Now that I had the music I could start cooking. Just as I put the food in the oven I heard a sound coming from the living room. I went to look and saw Aaron was up.

"Hey" I said smiling at him. "Hey! I’m sorry I fell asleep!" he started apologizing and I laughed "you’re sorry? I called you here and fell asleep! I’m really sorry, all the emotions tired me out. Thank you so much!"

"No problem" he said and had a big smile on his face. "So you’re done with him for good?" he asked. "Yes" I said happily “I realized he hasn’t changed and he was holding me back. I feel free now. Its time to move on" and I meant every word.

Getting him away like this was great. I was too heart broken to realize it the last time we broke up. But now I saw it and felt great. "Well congrats! You want to go out and celebrate?" Aaron asked in a weird tone. "I’m actually in the middle of getting dinner ready. I thought we could have a nice quiet and relaxing night. Also you probably need a good nights sleep before tomorrow"

"Dinner and a relaxing evening sounds great" he said as he started going towards the kitchen and when I walked in I saw him holding back laugher. I knew why. I didn’t turn off the cd and the song playing now was "live in living color" . Luckily the oven just buzzed and I could ignore that fact.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked. "Sure. What would you like?" he asked turning around and I quickly turned off the cd "whatever you'd like. Choose and I’ll come in a minute with the food." I said as he went towards the TV.

I went into the living room with our food and saw Aaron was still flipping through the channels "there’s nothing good on TV" he said. "Well we can always rent a movie.. Is there anything specific you want to watch?"

"Not really. Lets keep on flipping. If we wont find anything good in the next five channels we'll just whatever is on the 6th channel, agreed?" he asked "sure.. I don’t care what we watch either."

Aaron went through the first 4 channels and didn’t find anything. "I hope this will be a good one" he said as he changed to the 5th channel and groaned "how are there no good movies on now?" he asked a little annoyed.

"What does it matter? So we'll just kill our brain cells with a stupid movie. Not the end of the world. Now switch so that'll know what we'll be watching" I grabbed the remote from him when I saw he wasn’t switching. I changed the channel and couldn’t help but start laughing.

The movie playing was les miserables. I looked at Aaron and saw he was also smiling. "So I guess were going to be watching you for the next 3 hours?" I asked still laughing. "I know this movie by heart, I don’t think you’ll enjoy watching it with me" he said serious. "Well i also know every word of this. So you won’t be ruining anything for me. It'll be fun to finally not ruin everything for anyone!" I said and we both laughed.

"So les mis it is" Aaron said taking his plate and started eating. Aaron and I were singing most of the movie but every time there was a part of Aaron I would shut up. I wanted to hear him live. His voice is so beautiful.

And then everyone started dying. I was crying, like I always do when I watch them die. I know it’s just a movie but I love these characters so much. Its crazy how at the end of the movie the only ones left are Marius and Cossette. They killed basically everyone!!

By the time Enjolras died my face was full of tears and I was hugging a pillow. Aaron was looking at me with an amused looked. "I’m right here you know. I’m alive.. No need to cry so much" he said laughing. I threw the pillow at him and he caught it.

"I’m not crying because you died! I’m crying because Enjolras died. And Gavroche. And Grantaire. And everyone" I was still crying but also laughing because of Aarons face.

"You know they’re fictional characters, right?" he was really enjoying himself. "Of course I do! But this story is based on something.. Some people did really die because of that!" I was trying to defend myself but I knew I wouldn’t win this. Aaron was cracking up by this point and I couldn’t help but laugh with him.
