Chapter 13 - The Real Me

I was looking in front of the mirror and tried to memorize every single detail of my look. The leather jacket, black pants, smoky eyes and every inch of my disguise that will be removed in a few hours. My palms were sweating and I felt sick. Is this what I should do?

I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." It was Billy.

"Hey, Ella. Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked, worry written all over his face. Billy knew how I felt about this and he's also a tad bit worried how this will affect his business but I know he supports me which means a lot.

I sucked my breath. "Yes." Giving myself a last glance and thinking that this might be the last time I'm going to look like a rockstar made me feel sad. I walked out my private room and went outside with trembling legs onto the stage. Immediately, people started to scream with excitement and I smiled brightly at them, knowing that this would probably be the last concert in Black Sun I would ever have. I might as well enjoy the moment while it lasts.

"Are you guys ready to rock?!" I screamed at the microphone and signaled the band behind me to start playing. I sang with all I had and I never felt more alive. People danced and sang along with me. It was something I would remember forever.

I see Van smiling at me at the back, his face proud. I see Aiden watching me with loving eyes. I see the Richmond kids swaying and singing to my music. I see hundreds of people enjoying my music. But will they still enjoy it if they find out who I am? That thought stayed in my mind as I performed.

Finally, the concert ended and people were still buzzing with adrenaline. I grabbed the microphone and tapped it with my finger.

"Did you guys enjoy the concert?" I said through the microphone.

"Yeah!"

"Of course we did!"

"Amazing!"

"WOOOO!"

People hooted and cheered. I smiled at them and forced myself to say what I have to say.

"Some of you may not know this but I'm wearing a disguise."

There were sounds of confusion from the audience which made my heart beat faster. My legs are shaking and my hands trembled as I took the microphone from the stand.

"You see, I wore this disguise for a reason. It's because I'm insecure and scared. Scared that no one will like me for me so I changed myself and covered myself with all these make-up and clothes," I took a deep breath and looked at my audience. "But now, I'm tired of hiding the real me and I would like to show you who I am."

Aiden looked frozen in his spot, his eyes wide and anticipating. The truth was I never really cared what other people thought of me. I only cared about what Aiden thought of me. I don't know how this will change my life and I feel scared just thinking about it but I know that this is the right time. I've been hiding for so long and I've hurt those that are important to me.

"I'm a student from Richmond," I smiled wickedly at my audience feeling a sudden burst of confidence. Gasps and whispers broke out as I continued. "I'm 17 years old and my name is. . .Elizabeth Walter." I took off my wig and threw it at the ground. Silence and shocked faces was the last thing I saw as I gave a slight bow and walked out of the stage to my private room. I removed all my make-up and clothes and changed to my normal clothes. I felt numb as I went back to my dorm.

I slammed myself on the bed and forced myself to sleep as I thought about what would happen tomorrow.

--------------------------------------

"Ella! Ella! Wake up!" Somebody was shaking me and it was starting to annoy me.

"I swear to God if you don't wake up I'll post your sleeping face on facebook and you'll lose all your fans because that drool is disgusting as hell. I can't believe blue moon sleeps like this."

I sat up straight from hearing my stage name which made me bump heads with Amy. She was the one waking me up.

"Ow!" Amy groaned touching her forehead as I did the same. That hurt.

"Sorry." I apologized.

"It's okay. . . so," Amy looked at me curiously and gave a sly smile. "You're blue moon, huh?"

I nodded and pursed my lips since I'm not sure where this is going.

"You crazy lass! Why the hell didn't you tell me?" Amy hit my shoulder as she screamed with her loud voice.

"Because. . ." I cringed when I saw Amy giving me a death glare. That girl can sure give it.

"You better have one hella excuse for not telling me about it!" She shouted.

"I'm a coward, okay? People will probably throw bricks at me if I perform out there so I put on a disguise! I'm sorry for being scared of being not loved for me and I'm sorry if I kept this a secret but it's not like I can just shout at the world 'Hey! I'm Ella and I'm freaking blue moon! My life is hell because I lost my Dad and my Mom turned into a living zombie which left me to fend for myself," I took a big gulp of air since I was letting it all out but I couldn't stop. I've been keeping all of this emotions bottled up that it just wanted to burst. "Oh, but that's not all. My Mom came back from being a zombie but she brought back a pushover stepfather and a stuck-up barbie stepsister whose name is Stephanie with her!" I was breathing hard when I finished, but realized too late that I probably shouldn't have mentioned the last part.

"Stephanie is your stepsister?!" Amy shrieked. Great, another secret revealed. But that's not the problem, the problem is I don't know how to face the entire school now that my secret has been probably spread like a plague.

 

I guess I'll have to stand up and get this day over with. But a feeling of worry crept over my mind as I thought of Aiden.

Yo. That is the end of chapter 13! Phew. This book is near it's end (maybe). Because I'm running out of ideas. I don't want to make this book have lots of chapters so it might end at around 20 chapters? Hope that's cool with you all. Thanks for reading up to here. I appreciate it. Really.

VOTE FOR MY CHAPPIES, OKAY?!

LOVE YOUUUUUUUU.
