I walk out on the stage with all the other dancers.It's been a few weeks ever since that psycho family tried to kill all of us.Chad is in better shape now and he just got his crutches off.I can see him Mindy,Sam, and Tara in the crowd waiting for us to start."Maria Maria"  by Santana starts and I start the routine.I sway my body to the beat of the song while my fellow dancer Mattheo spins me around.The music moves through my body as the song continues on.I dance turning away from Mattheo as he throws me in the air and spins me around he dips me over for the last part everyone else doing the same.'

Oh, Maria, Maria

Oh, she fell in love in East L.A.

To the sounds of the guitar

Played by Carlos Santana

The music comes to an end and the crowd erupts in applause.I hear Mindy and Chad starting a chant with my name.I smile up at the twins and exit the stage running to quickly change into my y2k outfit.I get my makeup touched up and wait for the boy's dance to end.I go on my phone and hydrate myself until i feel a tap on my shoulder.I put my phone down and hurry out to center stage just when the back track for "Bills Bills,Bills" by Destiny's Child starts.

At first we started out real cool

Taking me places I ain't never been

But now, you're getting comfortable

Ain't doing those things you did no more

You're slowly making me pay for things

Your money should be handling

This song honestly speeds by for me.It's a really easy song to dance too.By the end of the song we're all at the front of the stage leaning on each other flipping the audience off.The crowd erupts in front of us as we walk away swaying or hips.Ok only 1 more song.My final song .I start shaking hard as fuck.I'm not ready for this but I can't run out now my songs about to start.I'm pushed ot on the stage shaking like crazy.

I finally met you last night

I saw the truth behind your pretty little lines

Nightingale singing pretty little rhymes

The world's greatest

Oh, look at you, you're famous

Everybody at your feet and you're complaining

You look to watch them bleed

You find the music in their screams

The music pulsates through my body as I do a turn after turn.It's like i'm the only one here.

I see you crawl, crawl up in their walls

With poison in your touch

You forgive us

I look longingly into the crowd as I go into the splits.

I see the devil in your eyes

I see the devil in your eyes

Admit it, I am not surprised

You're the devil in my eyes

I'm not goin' down with you
Staying 'cause you want me to

You can't try and change the sky and compromise

You're still the devil in my eyes

I go on my knees acting numb and the beat drops.My whole demeanor drops as I scout across the floor

Draped in satin and you're lookin' so attractive

All the people in your palace

Drinking' liquor from your chalice

You think you're special for your particular powers

Picking women for their prowess

But, you're really just a coward

You crawl, crawl up in their walls

With poison in your touch

You forgive us

The beat relaxes a little as I turn.

But I'll admit your face

Is like a silver sky

And the smell of roses by the bed

I was clear from you haze

Found bound by your chains

I'll invent your disguise

I look into the audience tears clouding my vision and reach out.The beat drops and I spin not even bothering to wipe the tears now flowing on my face

I saw the devil in your eyes

I saw the devil in your eyes

I'll admit, I am not surprised

I saw the devil in your eyes

I'm not goin' down with you

Staying 'cause you want me to

You can't try and change the sky and compromise

You're still the devil in my eyes

I walk toward the audience holding my chest.I fall on my knees ending the song.I heavily breath kneeling there in silence crying.All of a sudden the crowd burst out in applause.People start to stand up as I do.I bow wiping the tears from my eyes.I smile and walk off the stage.

—--------------------------

I walk out of the backstage entrance to see my friends all waiting for me.As soon as they spot me they rush over to me tackling me.
Mindy-Oh my fucking God You were incredible!
Tara-She was crying after the last one you did
Mindy hits Tara in a playful manner
Mindy-No I wasn't!
Sam whisper's in my ear "Yes she most definitely was".I smile as Mindy and Tara start to argue whether she was crying or not.I'm pulled aside by Chad and he hands me like 2 whole bouquets of red roses.I hug him careful trying to not crush the flowers.He kisses my head gently still holding me
Chad-You were amazing out there
I look up at him and just hold him tighter
Chad-Are you okay.You looked like you were crying
Luna-I'm fine.You worry too much
Chad looks at me playfully and pulls away
Chad-Really
I smile against him and kiss him again
Luna-Yeah really
He shakes his head and I peer over his shoulder.
Luna-Hey i'll be back in a minute
He nods and heads back to our friends as I head to my mom.
Luna-You came
Mom-Yeah...Do you want me to leave? I can, it's okay.
Luna-No I'm glad you did
We stare at each other when tears fall down my face remembering what I said to her the last time I saw her.She cups my face and wipes my tears."Im so sorry mom.I didn't mean what I said.I could never hate you.I was just mad but I want to be there for my little sibling or siblings.I want to have those moments with you".She shakes her head."Hey you were right I was a shitty mom but I want you to be in your little brothers life even if you hate me "."I don't hate you I love you.I love you so much"I say burying my head in her shoulder.She rubs my back and I can't help but feel like I don't know like everything's gonna be ok.Maybe everything will be ok. Wait.I pull away smiling, wiping the tears off my face.
Luna-Little Brother
Mom-Yeah I found out yesterday
I hug her taking in the moment.I'm having a little brother.She pulls away from me smiling
Mom-I'm gonna head home okay
Luna-Do you want to go to dinner with us
Mom-No you kids have fun okay.
Luna-Ok text me when you get home
She nods and walks out of the theater.I meet back with my fellow members of the Thrive 5 and gain a kiss on the head from Chad.We all start to walk off but I stop getting a text.I tell them to go on and I'll meet them in a sec.I open my messages and stare in horror at my newest one.My phone drops in silence in the empty theater
