i press the two keys as hard as i can, causing a loud thunder. i start off with a slow scale and starting go faster, showing off mixed emotions.

i look down as my hands as i see them shuffling through the piano keys, then it starts off
slow, and shows up with so many emotions not one can explain.

i look down once again to focus, as the notes start to play faster.

then it stops, my muscle memory playing this sound of passion, which was once a bottle full of different emotions waiting to explode.

i look up at scarlett, as these notes start to move faster.

we make eye contact, i look back down at my hands.

they slowly start to play these keys harder then ever, then start to play softer.

they shuffle through the same notes, over and over again.

then it hits, that one note causing all these notes to move faster and faster.

it's like someone's hormones bottled up.

the bass drop on this is extremely beautiful.

i look up, slam my fingers on the keys, my hair swings across my face.

my hands start to cramp up.

my hands start to sweat.

my body follows the music.

the notes slow down, and it's suddenly a happy ending.

my eyes stay down, but my body lifts itself up.

the room fills itself with the sounds of clapping.

i look up to look for scarlett, but she's no longer there.

i cant feel my hands, or my fingers.

i smile at the audience, and bow down.

my body slowly walks out of the stage.

where scarlett was waiting for me.

"are you okay?!" she says worried as she tries to touch my hands.

i flinch, as her gentle skin rubs mine.

"can you look for that nice young man that was helping us earlier?" i ask.

scarlett nods, and she runs along.

i sit down on a chair, with my hands in the same position.

after a few moments i hear running.

i turn around to see scarlett, the young man, and another man.

"Ms.johansson told us you were in pain? are you cramped up? this is our specialist." he points at the other man standing next to him.

i look at scarlett, and she looks very worried.

"when's my next round?" i ask with a blank face.

"in 6 minutes?" he checks his watch.

"i think it's just a really bad cramp, it's nothing we should be worried about to much." i shrug, and smile.

trying to reassure scarlett.

"maybe some ice, and a icey hot, and some bandages in the meanwhile. if it's not up before your round starts. you'll have to wait and see what the board will do." the "medic" explains.

i nod.

"i suppose you need nothing from me? here on out?" the nice man that's been helping us since we got her asks.

"no, we're okay." scarlett assured him.

he smiles and leaves.

"are you okay?" scarlett grabs my hand as gently as she can.

"i should be, thank you baby." i smile.

"i love you" i add on.

"i love you too" she kisses my lips.

and pulls away when the specialist comes back with his stuff.

he smiles, and scarlett steps aside.

he wraps up my hands, with skin toned bandages.

"here, you can use whichever one, but people say the iceyhot packet works more."

"if anything i'll be right down the hall." she nods, and leaves.

i sigh, and place the packets on my hands.

i struggle to keep them on, and scarlett notices.

she places her hands on top of the packets, squeezing them down.

which feels better.

"what piece were you playing? it was you know.. awfully beautiful" she smirks.

"i was playing, fantaisie impromptu did you like it?!" my smile turns wide.

i love it when she asks about the stuff i'm interested in, it shows that she really listens and cares.

"i loved it! it was beautiful honey" she smiles.

"what are you playing next?" she tilts her head.

"ballade in g minor."

"well that sounds.."

"difficult" i wink.

she laughs.

suddenly i hear a vibration.

scarlett looks down, gently removes one of her hands.

she pulls out her phone and smiles.

"it's the girls!" she shows me the phone.

it's a facetime.

"answer!" i say.

she swipes on the button.

"hi!"

"hello!"

"hello? can you guys hear me?" sarah asks.

"where's Y/N! we just saw, we're watching the show from home!" cate and sandra say, showing their tv screens.

scarlett waves before she flips the camera on me.

"Y/N!"

"Y/N ! you were great!"

"it was beautiful!"

"you both look beautiful tonight!" sarah yells over the two other girls.

"thank you!" me and scarlett both say at the same time.

she looks at me.

and i look at her.

and we both share a smile.

"anyways just wanted to check up on you guys! call us or text when the show is finished we'll be watching!" cate smiles.

sarah and sandra agree.

we say our goodbyes, and scarlett hangs up the call.

before i get the chance to speak.

the young man barges in.

"you're up!" he says, as he writes on his clipboard.

i nod, and i look over at scarlett.

"i love you"

"i love you too."
