Tell Me I'm Pretty

Death Wish

Chapter 11.

~Emily~

She was very surprised to see Laura on stage singing her heart out. Not to mention it was Kims' favorite band. But it wasn't her favorite song by them.

Lucky for her, a girl backed out of the show, leaving it opened for miss Emily.

And guess what she'll be singing....

The song was over now, the crowd went crazy for her voice.

Pa-lease.

Give me a fucking break.

Emily watched as Laura leaped down the steps and right into Kims' arms. It made Emilys' heart twist with jealousy and determination.

She made her way over and took Kim by the hand, grabbing her attention.

"Em, you're performing?" She asked neutrally.

Emily nodded, making Laura glare at her. Something was so off about this girl. What was her deal anyway?

"Anyway, stay for the concert, you know I'll rock the house."

"You always do."

Lauras' eyes widened in disbelief at Kim, then rolled them and stomped off. Kim sighed and looked at Emily.

She had changed so much as well.

"Emily, I'm on no ones side now. Laura is my girlfriend and I will always stay by her. But you're my friend and I care deeply for you. However, if the time came, I will side with her."

She grabbed Emilys' arm tightly and stared her deeply in the eyes.

"Stay away from Laura, Emily. She isn't what she looks like. Neither am I. She's not to be provoked. It's best of you avoid her. In fact..." With that said, she walked away.

But Emily heard her.

It was her turn on stage. Kim knows her like the back of her hand. Emily is competitive! She has to have everything!

She grabbed the Mic and sung Imaginary.

At first the crowd was quietly in shock.

Then erupted.

Emily expected this. She practiced in the mirror every day until she was declared the next best singer. The only one who can possibly be Amy Lee. Only her voice wasn't as powerful.

So who cares?! They were shouting her name!! She saw Kim smirking from a distance.

But it was Laura who stood or from the crowd.

Laura who glared with a poison so deep it made Emilys' chest tighten.

And a smile so dangerously scary it made Emily close her eyes.

****

Having become famous like she'd planned, she was well known. Her nickname even became Ally!

She checked herself out in the mirror before she slammed the locker closed.

She gave a small shout and backed away from Laura who leaned against the locker beside her.

She was smiling.

"I never got the chance," Laura said calmly,"but you sounded great up there."

Emily smiled,"thanks."

Then she was pressed up against the locker, Laura was so close, she could hear her heart thumping.

Or maybe that was her.

"Laura stop!"

Laura froze for a moment, as if reliving something, but the clouds passed rather quickly.

"Shut up! You remind me of some one and it sickens me!! I hate you, Emily. Do you know that?! All you pretty bitches are driving me insane! I want you gone! I'll give you a chance. Pack your shit and go! Or I'll do you the favor."

She stormed off down the hall where Kim waited patiently.

Emily looked away.

She still remembers what Kim said.

She walked down the hall with her head down and her arms around her.

"In fact, you should just go back where you came from...trust me, it's safer."

...did this mean...

Laura is the reason?

The girls?

What happened?

Was it.......her?
