*** Elis POV ***
Ive been nervous all day. I barely touched any food, thinking itll just come right back up. Its 7:30 and a car would be coming to pick me up any second. They told me to dress regularly. So I'm wearing black Toms, High waisted shorts and an "Infinity" shirt that is silky yet cotton. I wore my infinity bracelets along with my rose and eiffel tower ones. My hair is straightened today.
Around 7:45 a car came to pick me up. I got in and all the girls were in it. I didnt know why but I also didnt feel like talking. I guess no one did. It was a quiet car ride.
"Guys, whatever happens, I love you guys." Stacy finally said, breaking the silence. We got out of the car and piled in to the studio. We were asked to go on stage and sit down, which, we did. I looked up and saw the familiar 7 lumps. The stage managers informed us the judges would be a little late. So I just started singing. As a force of habit.
'I stumbled up to the window
Opened the curtains to blinding light
Make up all over the pillow
What went on? what went on?
What went on last night?
You look so sweet while you're dreaming
Holding your bottle of Tanqueray
It isn't even the weekend
Maybe that's, how I know, you're the one for me'
'I wanna party and bullsh-t
And party and bullsh-t (with you)
And party and bullsh-t
And party and bullsh-t
And party, and party' all the girls had joined in.
'Cause when the sun sets baby
On the avenue
I get that drunk sex feeling
Yeah, when I'm with you
So put your arms around me baby,
We're tearing up the town
Cause that's just how we do
We got that sweet hot loving
Dancing in the dark
Out in the streets we're running,
Shut down every block
So, put your arms around me baby
We're tearing up the town
Cause that's just how we do, how we do-o-o
Yeah, that's how we do
How we do, that's just how we do
How we do, that's just how we do.'
Once we were finished, we laughed at how good but weird that sounded. We just had our own conversations, until we noticed the 3 figures walking in. I thought it was the judges but it was the 3 boys, Mason Michael and Justin. They were told to sit down as us girls were.
We all carried on with our conversations, when Demi finally showed up. She said Simon Brittney and LA would be here soon, they had to deal with some business.
"Hey guys can you come down here?" Demi yelled at all the boys. They had all come down and sat in the row behind Demi. "Okay, you all know these are your mentors. There are 7. Which means, only 7 acts. Well, good news. All of you have gotten in to this competition. But, not all of you will stay solo acts." We all nodded. "Eli will you stand up?"
I got up curious as to what was about to happen. She looked at me and motioned for me to stand center stage.
"You can all learn a lesson from this girl here. Shes the only solo act Simon wanted. All of you are now in a group together. Girls with girls. Guys with guys. Only with the judges approval will you be put as solo groups." I looked around to all the shocked faces. The 5 girls, whose dream to be a SOLO act had been crushed. The 3 boys were happier than ever. "Louis will mentor the boys. Austin with Eli. The rest with the other girls." The boys looked shocked at what had just happened, as if they never knew. "Thank you."
"Wait!" Elisa started "I wont stay in this competition unless Im a solo act as well."
"Then goodbye." Was the first thing Simon said as he walked in. It shocked us all. One, he showed up out of no where, Two, was I really the only solo act he wanted?
"Oh no no no. I am just as good as little miss charity case. Louis!!! Tell them." Elisa looked at Louis, which made all of us look at him.
"This 'grown man-child' has nothing to say." He smiled as Elisa's mouth fell open. Me and Genesis looked at each other and smiled, knowing exactly what he did.
"Well fine. But let me tell you ALL one thing. You think Eli's a prize? What happenes when a prize is taken away? And Eli," I looked at her with wide eyes at her acknowledgment. "Lucys your prize? Just wait."
I ran off the stage in a split-second to attack her. I've been mad alot in this competition. But never this furious. I got to where she was and I jumped on top of her. My hands in fists at the top of her shirt, pushing her towards the ground. "You dont talk about my sister. I dont give a damn about this competition. I will rip you to pieces in less than a second if you ever threaten her like that or talk about her like that again." I could feel people trying to get me off of Elisa but I'm way too strong. "Do you understand me?" She didnt say anything. I ignored the screams for me to get off her. "I ASKED YOU A GOD DAMN QUESTION. ANSWER IT."
"My mom said if I have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all." My fury grew at her last words. I pulled her up by her shirt and shoved her back in to the ground, hard. She whimpered. "Okay! Fine. Im sorry. I wont talk about Lucy."
"Good." I started to get off of her, but her words made me put even more pressure on her.
"Maybe I'll talk about your dad. I bet hes watching you right now. Thinking 'Thats what happens when I leave? I married such an irresponsible bitch." She talked about my mom and dad in the same sentence. Oh hell no.
I took my hand and forced it straight in her face. Her nose started bleeding, from the force of my punch. I took my knees and sat on her hands and hit her again. "Dont EVER TALK ABOUT MY FAMILY. ESPECIALLY NOT MY DAD. I can be even more pissed and you dont want to see that. Understand me?" She looked scared as she furiously nodded. "Good." I got her up and realized cameras all over me. This was a live broadcast.
Good. People know not to piss me off, or to talk about Lucy.
I turned to see every contestant, judge, and mentor in shock at what I had just done to the oldest and scariest person in the group. I looked back at Elisa, who was asking for help but no one came. Security escorted her out, as she got out the door, I sat center stage.
"Im sorry you had to see that. My dads dead and my mom did her best to fix our broken house hold. As the oldest I have tried my hardest to be strong, but I can usually keep my anger inside unless they talk about my sister or dad. If you wanna kick me off for that, Im okay with it. Say the word, Im gone."
I looked up at Simon and the other judges. Ignoring the still shocked expression of the idiot mentors behind them.
"Your my favorite." Was all he said with a smile.
