Raise Your Voice [lrh] (EDITING)

Luke

After free music, I decided to loiter around the halls for a while. I sat down in the auditorium, playing on my phone for a while. The only light in the room was coming from the directiors desk in the middle of the room, but it was dim and you could hardly see anything. I overheard voices talking so I sat quietly and hid my phone, so who ever was talking would think that they're alone.

"Come on, Ellie, give us a live recording or we'll have mum take away your allowance." I heard the voice of Tabatha say. I smirked and sunk in my seat, I was finally hoping to get the chance to hear Ellie sing, and it was now. I saw Ellie's shadow shake her head,

"I'm not going to play this game anymore, girls. I want my voice back." Ellie responded.

I raised an eyebrow, what does she mean she wants her voice back? She had her voice, right?

"Fine, then, we will expose your little secret!" Tiffany yelled angrily. I crawled on the floor and tried to escape but curiosity got the best of me and I stayed put. Were they black mailing Ellie and if so what for?

Ellie sighed and sat down at the piano. "What song is it this time?" She asked, playing a few scales on the piano. Tiffany and Tabatha giggled in unison then stopped ubruptly.

"You're singing Baby Girl Please Go Home by your mom." Ellie gasped in shock while Tiffany cackled.

"What? You have to sing it, El. You promised."

I saw Ellie nod and sigh as she began to play the notes to the song.

Ellie

I looked at Tabatha and Tiffany as I sat on the piano, beginning to play the song my mum had written about me a long while back.

"Baby girl, it's not worth it. Baby girl, you don't deserve this. Don't you know you can't be here any more."

I started, tears forming in my eyes. This song had so much meaning to it and I was the only one to know about it, except for Tina, Tiffany and Tabatha. I closed my eyes and clenched my jaw before continuing.

"It's all fun and games until I have to go away, which will be the next time you open the door. You don't you understand it.. But everything comes and goes. It will soon be over for me and I need you to know I love you, but baby girl please, go home." I sang.

I let out a cry and kept playing the piano. I hated my sisters, I hated Tina, and I hated my mum for letting her do this to herself. I looked out into the dark distance before singing again.

"Pretty soon, I'll be gone now. Don't you worry, I'll be looking down from the skies above. I know it'll be hard, but if youre sad just look at the stars, oh oh. It's all fun and games, until I have to go away, which will be the next time you open the door. You don't understand it, oh baby girl demand it, you have so much to live for."

I sang the next part with a lot of passion, the second verse was always my favorite one to sing. My mum really did know how to make me smile no matter what. My mum was my best friend, and I actually wish she was still here.

"But everything comes and goes. Oh baby girl, I need you to know I love you, but baby girl, please go home." I smiled at the end of that sentence, continuing to remember the good memories with my mum.

I finished the song and smiled, wiping the tears from my eyes. Tiffany and Tabatha looked at me with evil smirks on their faces.

"Thank you, Eleanor. We'll get back to you later. Oh by the way, Mummy wants you to service us tonight at our party." Tiffany spoke.
