Patched

Chapter 3

Alright heres your other chapter loves:) dedicated to everyone who told me to keep going!

Then she did the unthinkable and snatched the microphone out of casey's polished fingers and marched onto the stage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ellies POV

Was i scared? Pffft YES. Memories flooded my mind of being humiliated in the past. If Rae wanted me to go out of my comfort zone then she had just experienced my max of comfort. I marched up onto the stage stumbling over the last step making the microphone screech followed by chuckles. I felt all my blood rush to my face from the amount

if attention i was getting. I heard casey whisper oh so loudly "this should be good."

I don't even know where all this is coming from. Breath Ellie, i thought to myself. These drunks wont even remember it in the morning. I sighed what have i gotten myself into? I can't stop now.

I set my walking stick down softly and cleared my throat "hall of fame by the script please" i said so quite it was almost a whisper. Laughter bursted through the room and people screamed things like "loser" "why are you even here?" "Go home" "if you could see how ridiculous you look right now" "kill yourself!" "What do you have to live for?" If my heart wasn't already broken it would be smashed into a million pieces right now.

Holding back the tears that were threatening to fall, i patiently waited for the "audience" to quiet down. I heard the piano intro to the song and braced myself for the embarrassment that was about to come.

Rae's POV

I watched ellie sadly. I morned for her. She stood there looking helplessly determined. God i wanted to strangle casey to tight that her fake boobs pop. But i couldn't because she was to busy breaking ellie into pieces.

As soon as the hall of fame came on i held my breathe along with about 100 people. Then the chorus hit.

Ellies POV.

The longest moment of my life was that piano. Then the chorus hit me like a train. I put my heart into it. Thinking about all the times i was put down. Pushed shoved even when i was already down and broken. All the bullies that told me to kill myself. And all the teachers that couldn't handle me because i was new to my disability. And all the schools that did nothing about my tormenters. I had pushed through school. Kicked butt on tests and went home managing a smile. All the times i was given the looks and all the times i heard the snickers.

I sang better than i ever had in my life.

Rae's POV

She was like an angel. I prayed silently that she would finish just as strong as she started.

"The worlds gonna know your name"

I was going to make sure of it. Everyone was going to know who this girl was. And the struggle that it is going to take,is going to be worth it.

Ellies POV

One single tear had escaped my eye. One. Out if all that tried to escape. One.

As the song finished I wiped my tear and stood on stage waiting for the criticism to come. It never came. The crowd in front of me, yes the same ones who just told me how worthless i am, exploded with claps,hoots, and hollers. I smiled and for the first time in many years,it reached my eyes.

I stepped down off the stage with the assistance of rae who sniffled, "that was beautiful. I never knew you could sing like that. You just proved to everyone how great and amazing you are." I beamed with happiness.

Walking towards the door i was stopped by somebody. Casey.

"What?" Was all i could manage.

"You were amazing"she whispered, "i never knew you could even..."

I stopped her "sweetie there is a lot you don't know about me, i just never gave you or anyone else, the time of day to realise it." I smirked feeling infinite. "You bullies lost." I said very slowly for her tiny brain to comprehend. And with that i walked out the door. But not without turning around catching a glimpse of her, moth wide open. "Close your mouth, you'll catch flies" i said over my shoulder.
