Chapter 20 ELENA #the_third_dayI woke up and dragged my feet to the bathroom to have my shower. I couldn't sleep well at nightknowing Jace was seeing Celine.And I could stop feeling it was all my fault. I was too hard on him and he was forced to focus onsomeone else.I had my shower and I walked out of the bathroom with my towel around my unclad body.I walked to the front of the mirror and stared at myself sighing."Maybe I should forget about Stefan after all. But it looks like we are beginning to make a coupleagain.""What if he finally goes with Celine at the end of the contract, and then I have lost Stefan too?That won't be good at all." I thought."Elena?" I heard Jace call at my door."Hey." I said walking to the door to get it. I opened it and when he saw me on towels he turned hisface.That was actually weird because he once told me I was too attractive for him look away. I guess Iam not attractive to him anymore."Actually I have postponed the outing with Celine t
Chapter 21 JACE We were done with the voice training and we were both exhausted. She fell on the couchbreathing hard and I fell on the floor.We looked at each other and began to laugh all of a sudden."My tummy hurts badly." She said admist laughter and I nodded."I know. It's quite obvious, but trust me you did a great job today." I said smiling."You really think so? Or you are just saying that to make me happy." She said and I sat up lookingat her."Believe Anything I tell you to believe. You may not need to stay here up to 15 days before you aregood to go on that stage." I said and she smiled blushing."You don't know how happy I am to hear that from you Jace." She said and we stared at eachother again."I think I would use the swimming pool today." I said breaking the intense silence and jumping onmy feet."You have a pool?" She asked and I nodded in amusement."Of course I do. You didn't know?" I asked and she shook her head laughing."I didn't know, how do you expect me
Chapter 22 ELENA After minutes of swimming and staring at each other, we decided to stop swimming. I moved out ofthe water swaying my water because of the water that was on it.I felt Jace's gaze on my backside as I did, and I looked at him over my shoulders."Don't you think that isn't Polite?" I said Smiling and he bowed his head."I am sorry, I can't just...""Help it. Got it." I said finally turning to look at him."I should go put on something decent before somebody or my friend comes in to meet me like this,and start thinking otherwise." I said and he smiled."Can I ask you something before you go?" He asked and I nodded eagerly."Anything." I said smiling."That kiss. Was it real? Or part of the fake ones?" He asked and I smiled."Jace, no one was around when I kissed you. My phone wasn't with me when I kissed you. Ikissed you because I wanted to kiss you. For real this time." I said and he smiled."I will

I was happy he was finallyinviting me to his house.Who knows he may wants me to meet his mother.I wore one of my best clothing and hit the road in no time. I was still rushing when I mistakenly hitsomeone and my bag fell."I am so sorry." We chorused bending to get the bag.

He said standing up and helping me up."I should be the one saying sorry. I just have looked while I was walking." I said and he smiledhanding my bag over to me."And I should have made way for you but I didn't. So I ended up hitting you." He said and Ilaughed again."Thanks." I said smiling. He was actually handsome.
PROLOGUE"Trust me, you don't want to do this..." Mom said and I sighed."Mom this shoe has always been my dream shoe. I can cope wearing it to the audition." I said andshe sighed."Isn't it too high? You look weigh unbalanced in it." She said."Mom! Trust me. I am 23, I will do just fine." I said boastfully and she nodded."Okay then. Your father and I will be leaving in the next 30 minutes, so you should get prepared."She said standing up and I nodded."Just some touch on this beautiful face of mine, and I will meet you in the car. And please tell Alecto stay far away from me in the car. I don't want him ruining my make-up." I said and she laughed."I will do just that." She said and walked out of the room.I stared into the mirror smiling as I began to apply some tini tiny touches on my face. Of course mybeautiful face.I am Elena Valentine, I am a good singer, but some people say I suck at it. I mean most peoplesay that, I wonder why they do. I sound Angelic.I am 23 years ol
Chapter 1 ELENA We got to the place of the Audition, which was the institute and dad parked the car where the resthave been parking theirs.I came out the car and looked back to see many children too. To be honest I was so scared,I keptimagining the kind of voices that was going to come out of the mouth of them."You can do this!" My invisible Angel told me."Thanks dude." I said aloud and brother looked at me."Can you stop doing that in public? That's way too creepy." He said and I nodded."You just don't understand. They speak to me anytime, anywhere and I am forced to reply." I saidand he shut his eyes."Okay that's enough. Enough of your delusions and let's go get you kicked out of the stage!" Heyelled and the other competitors looked at us."Oops." He said."Alec mind the way you act this night. You don't want to get started with me do you?" Father askedand he kept shut immediately."Now that's why I love father taking care of the Alec issues. He is the best when it comes
ELENA As we waited, I saw different participants come out from the building. Some had smiling faces onand some came out with tears. Some even came out looking very angry, and some had noExpression on their faces."Mom I am scared." I said shaking nervously."Elena you need to believe in yourself. Don't let those that have been coming out change the wayyou feel about this Audition. You will do just fine." She said and I nodded.The lady that was right in front of me was called in. She was 25th, and immediately she went in,my heart began to beat very fast.The expression that would be on her face will determine how I will feel before going into thatbuilding.I heard the way she sang with her parents and she was pretty amazing. She had the voice of anangel. If she isn't admitted, who then will?She looked older than me too. She has to be admitted.I looked around, mom and dad smiled at me and Alec, had this wicked grin on his face."I hate you." I whispered and he scoffed."I have
#The_Next_Day ELENA "Wake up sleepy head." Mother said throwing a pillow at me as I laid."Mom." I called in frustration."What? It's 10am. You should be on your way to finding a good job now you lost the Audition." Shesaid and I sat up sadly."Mom you didn't need to remind me. I know I am a failure." I said and she sat next to me holdingmy hand."You are not a failure Elena. Things happen for a reason. You can still have another chance atgetting into the institute. Even though it's in the next three years." She said and I looked at herremembering the card Jace the judge gave me."What if I can still have a chance now, not after three years." I said standing up in haste."I don't understand." She said but I ignored her and rushed into the bathroom to take my bath."What do you plan on doing? Where are you even going?" She asked from inside the room anditurned on that shower so I wouldn't hear her.If i told her Jace offered to help, she would never agree to it. She would say it
