CHAPTER 22 The Singing Star

　　Sarah's POV

　　The moment the door closes behind Damon, I wrap my arms around myself in an attempt to tame the cold that washed over me. When he is gone I can’t help but feel like there is a void I have to fill.

　　In his arms, I felt safe.

　　Now, I don't.

　　Thankfully the time has come and Rose storms into the room, holding two dresses. I didn’t realize how time has passed but it was already six.

　　Rose: Surprise! Now girl! Get ready to shine!

　　Sarah: Yes, ma'am!

　　I catch up on her vibe immediately trying to shake my feeling of discomfort away as I stand up.

　　Rose: Come on, come on.

　　Sarah: You really are excited about that event huh?

　　Rose: You have no idea! My parents hire professionals for our hair and makeup but I send them home and do not worry we did pay them for their time and what they’d do to us!

　　The satisfied look on her face and the way she says it makes me burst out laughing.
