She Will One Day Defy Gravity

♣️7- She Will One Day Defy Gravity♣️

After the bus stopped, we walked along a high street and turned left, using directions from a phone, and suddenly we were standing in from of The Apollo Victoria, with green lights draped up around the glass doors, and a huge board with the smirking, green face. And below it, in huge white letters read Wicked.

"Why did you pick Wicked?" I asked her.

"Because of Idina Menzel is the lead!" she said excitedly.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"She's part of the original cast. All the way from Broadway, and only here for this month! And her voice is so amazing! "

"If you say so," I shrugged.

The musical was something about a witch becoming Wicked. The songs began to bore me after a while, but Hannah was clearly enjoying herself and I decided that West End dreams weren't for me.

When it was over, she grabbed my arm and began to tell me how great it was.

"Oh my God! She's amazing! Wasn't that awesome? "

We walked out of the theater and into the dark streets.

I shrugged. "It's not my cup of tea,"

She raised her eyebrows. "Seriously? That was great, I'm telling you! I want to be up there one day,"

Despite the fact that I had never heard her sing, I knew that if she was as determined as she was now, she would definitely make it big.

"You will. You're great, greater than that India Menzy woman. You'll be better than her, "

She was quiet for a while.

"Josh. That meant a lot to me," she said.

I smiled back at her, slightly uncomfortable at how serious and quiet she had suddenly become, but also glad that she liked what I said.

And then came the shock.

"I like you, Josh. More than a friend. I always did, "

It was a blow, something overwhelming which came with mixed feelings.

I was flattered that someone like her who had dreams of becoming a star liked me.

But she was my best friend's sister. I couldn't imagine kissing her or loving her more than a sister.

That was what I knew. That I couldn't love her. What I felt was different. What I felt was forbidden.

"Hannah, you're like a sister to me. I like you, but I wouldn't go out with you-"

"It's fine." she said, coldly. "I get it,"

On the train ride home, we barely shared any words.
