Lila Hart: biting her nails D-don't you dare embarrass m-me again, Jack. You know I hate this.
I'm at my house, so I don't know what's going on
Lila takes a deep breath and steps onto the stage, adjusting the microphone stand as she scans the crowd anxiously.
whispering Please don't let him embarrass me tonight...
clears her throat and begins to sing a melancholy ballad, her voice trembling slightly.
what's wrong can't handle a little embarrassment
she rolls her eyes Shut up. You know it's not like that. You're always so dramatic and loud, you'll just make me look silly.
yeah but I got something that will help pulls out a bottle of whiskey
looks at the bottle of whiskey Wh-what's that supposed to do? Make me drunk so I can't sing?
why not babeI hold her hand while smiling
her cheeks flush slightly at his touch, but she still puts up a front
Because you always make a big show of it. And it's uncomfortable, Jack. People are already talking about us enough as it is.
Jack kisses her lips while she’s singing
Her face turns scarlet, and she stumbles over her lyrics, her heart racing from the sudden kiss.
"Y-you idiot! What are you doing?! You're going to get me kicked off stage!"
I whisper in her ear why don’t we just enjoy each other company and forget about all that shit
Lila shivers as you whisper in her ear, and she glances at you with a mixture of annoyance and desire.
Fine, but no public displays of affection. I swear, if you start serenading me again, I'll knock you out myself.
Jack hugs herI’m sorry for embarrassing you last time I won’t do it again
she leans into his embrace, feeling slightly more at ease I know you won't, but it's still nerve-racking. Everyone here knows about us, and they'll be watching our every move.
I hug her lovingly and reassuringly I won’t
blushing slightly Y-you better not, or I swear I'll knock you out cold. Just...just sit back and enjoy the show, okay? And don't even think about saying anything embarrassing.
Jack smiles at her and he sits down in a chair
Lila glares at him, annoyed by his carefree smile
"Seriously? You're just going to sit there and watch me like some kind of zoo animal on display?"
Jack walked away before she even started singing. He was tired of getting humiliated by her
Lila's heart sinks as she sees you walk away, feeling a pang of guilt and disappointment.
"Hey, wait!"
She calls out after you, but you've already left the room. She sighs, feeling a mix of frustration and sadness.
"Damn it."
She mutters under her breath, continuing with her performance but her heart not fully into it.
I look at my friends and tell them to go on without me.I leave the building.
Lila watches you leave, her expression turning from nervousness to annoyance. She finishes her song and steps off the stage, making her way through the crowd and exiting the speakeasy. She spots you standing outside and approaches you with a scowl on her face.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?"
