I had another nightmare. I woke up at 5:00 a.m. crying. I hugged a stuffed bear, softly crying into its head. I was sitting crosslegged in bed, I was cold, the light was off. Silent tears rushed down my cheeks, and I didn't bother brushing them away.

I heard my parents soft voices from the room next to mine. I don't know what they were talking about, but, I got up from bed. I walked over to their room, and lightly knocked on their door.

"Honey?" My mom asked, "are you okay?"

"Can I come in?" I asked, my voice wavering.

"Sure Peanut." My dad said. I opened the door, still holding my bear, I softly padded over to their bed. "You okay Mija?" Lin asked.

"I don't know." I whimpered.

"Come here darling." Vanessa said, opening her arms. I came over to her side of the bed, and she pulled me onto the bed, she moved me over to sit by her. She wrapped an arm around me, and I let my head fall onto her shoulder. "Honey what happened? Did you have a bad dream?"

"Mmhm."

"Oh, I'm sorry." My dad said, gently brushing my hair back. "I'm really sorry."

"It's fine, I just, I'm tired." I yawned, and let myself relax into my moms arms.

"Baby, get under the blankets." My dad moved the blankets a little, and moved me until I was curled up under the white and gold comforter.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, snuggling into my moms side

"No, it's fine." She pressed a kiss to my head. "Go to sleep Mijita." She said, her voice soft.

"Goodnight." My heavy eyelids closed, and I fell asleep cuddled into my parents bed.

"Wake up mi Niñita." My dad said, shaking me awake that morning,

"Morning." I pushed myself up a little, "where's Mom?" I asked.

"She left for work, we actually have to as well, Ham4Ham at 12:25." He pointed out.

"Who's coming?" I asked.

"Shh." He pressed his finger to my lips. "Tveit for it Mijita."

"Seriously?" I asked, excitedly.

"Mmhm."

"Dad?" I asked, "can you come over here?" I asked, and he nodded, walking back over to the bed, he sat down in front of me, "turn around." I said, and he gave me a weird look, but complied. I took his hair out of pigtails that he had, then retied both of them into little buns.

"Mija?" He asked, "did you do my hair?"

"Yep." I smiled, and he got up to go look at himself in the bathroom mirror.

"Me gusta." I heard him say, and I laughed, "actually darling, you need to get dressed." He tousled my hair, "we can go get lunch with Aaron Tveit after the Ham4Ham." He offered, as I climbed out of bed.

"Seriously?" I lit up.

"Mmhm, now, go get dressed."

I scurried into my room, and put a swimsuit on, because I usually went up on the roof between shows. Over my swimsuit, I pulled a yellow, strapless sundress on.

"Done!" I smiled, running out of my room.

"Fantastic." He said, he had his backpack on, and was by the door. "Shall we go?"

"Okay!"

"Abigail?" Lin asked, as he was last minute pulling the Ham4Ham together, "do you play tambourine?" He asked.

"Most people can." I shrugged.

"Sweet, you can play tambourine in the thing." He smiled handing me a red tambourine. I smiled in response. "Now, come along little one." He took my hand and pulled me after him. "Aaron?" He said, coming up to Aaron Tveit, I sort of hid behind my dad.

"Yeah?" He turned around and smiled, "are we ready?"

"Almost, uh, the person that's hiding behind me, this is my daughter, Abigail." He pushed me out in front of me.

"Yeah, I know, it's nice to meet you sweetheart." He smiled at me.

"What are you singing?" I asked, trying to sound less stupid.

"I don't know if you, if you know, um, Next To Normal?" He shrugged.

"Are you doing I'm Alive?" I asked excitedly.

"Yup." He said, and I grinned, I loved that musical and that song.

"I've got my Grease jacket," my dad cut in, "I'm good to go."

"Oh gosh." I whispered, but, he took my hand and pulled me outside, into the June warmth. "Hello hello hello!" He shouted to the excited audience, I sat leaning in the corner between the wall and the golden door.

I sat there watching my dad and Rory talking, then, Rory started singing 'Turn It Off' from Book Of Mormon. It was amazing, but got monumentally better when Aaron came out.

While Rory O'Malley was trying to control his gay feelings towards Aaron Tveit, I was happily playing the tambourine, which I was only playing because Lin realized I would want to be outside for the Ham4Ham.

"That was amazing!" Lin yelled as we got back inside. "Thank you so much for coming!" He said, giving Aaron a hug.

"Thank you so much for letting me! I'm excited to see the show tonight." He replied.

"You were amazing! Seriously, sort of a dream come true." Rory added.

"Thank you, you were phenomenal as well, I'm a big Book Of Mormon fan."

"We were wondering if you'd like to have lunch?" Lin offered, hugging me in front of him, so my back was to his chest.

"I'd love to." He smiled at the two of us.

The four of us went out for Italian, because my father vouched for my favorite restaurant. It was a nice lunch, I felt oddly underdressed though. My dress was nice, I looked nice in it, but, you could see my swimsuit, so I felt a little out of place.

Halfway through the second show, I gave up on being social, and let myself disappear into Twitter. I was scrolling through the mentions on my notifications, when I saw I was mentioned in a thread of 'people I stan' and I smiled.

I smiled. Then replied to them. I was happily looking through everything, until someone else replied to that tweet.

I rolled my eyes, and decided to not respond, until the first account responded to them.

@linmmiran:
@burningthefandom @Abi_Miranda
Why? She's 16. She's a sweetheart, c'mon, leave her alone. Abi we love you.

I smiled. Things were getting better. People liked me. I realized that not everyone was going to like me, and for once, I was okay with that.

Hi! My one shot book is up! I started with Kevin/Abi proposal. As I said earlier, this book won't be in chronological order for a lot of reasons. I'm really sorry about that. To clarify, Kevin is a guy Abi started dating when she was 18, I will eventually post one shots of them dating. I started with that one shot because when I asked which I should start with, almost everyone said marriage. So... Another one shot should be up today.

Also, I'm sorry this is so late. My homecoming was Friday.

Thanks for reading!
