          The lights were blazing, the sound was pumping though the speakers located almost everywhere on the runway. The Audience was skillfully silent as they held their breath and sat on the edge of their seats to see the outcome of this Lip sync. Who would go home, who would stay for another week? Nobody felt they could make a accurate prediction for the winner, as it was all too close.

The two queens, Ivy and Honey, began there lip sync to True Colors by Kesha.

Even though the stage and runway was blazing with life and activity, bursting with excitement and anxiety, One queen was trying her best to stay awake for it all. Her skin tight aquamarine dress hugged her body in all the right ways as she stood their.

Jinkx could feel the chills and waves of sleepiness hitting her body as her fists were curled tightly around the hem of the shirt dress, clenched so tightly that her knuckles were turning as white as a ghost. The desire to stay awake and watch the performance just slightly trumped her body and minds desire to fall asleep right there.

Even though the performance just began, Jinkx could already feel the tears poking from the side of her eyes. She couldn't bare to watch the performance with the rest of the queens, and her eyes focused on the glittery floor instead.

Ivy took a few seconds during her performance to look back at her friend, her crush, the only person on her side in here. To see that she wasn't watching was heartbreaking, and devastating to the queen as she tried to focus on doing her best to stay another week in the competition.

Jinkx could feel her eyes fluttering attempting to close and fall asleep at once, but she continued to fight the urge to do so. The tears were spilling out of her eyes, much like a Monsoon. Her hand slowly unclenched her dress, the sequins leaving imprints on her hand. Jinkx instead leaned more on the  wall, looking back up as the lip sync was coming to a end. She was still sobbing as the song ended, her tears making her Makeup run down her face at alarming rates. Jinkx could feel her knees buckle as if they were about to give out from under her.

The lights rose from the dull light to a bright shining one as the two competing queens returned to their original position. You could hear a pin drop in the audience as they excitedly awaited the results of the lip sync.

Jinkx could feel her breath hitch in her throat as they anxiously awaited the results. Tears were still streaming down at a constant rate down her face, but she didn't care much anymore. Jinkx didn't know how she managed to stand anymore, she felt as if almost all the muscles in her legs had given out and soon it would be an impossible task to even stand. She needed sleep, her mind and body both agreed on seamlessly. In this case, Heart trumps mind.

Rupaul spoke up "Ivy winters... Chantey, you stay."

Jinkx managed to tune out the rest of what she was saying, instead choosing to let out more tears, happy tears and sad tears all at once.

Ivy graciously thanked the judges, clicking her heels on the glittery floor as she made her way to the rest of the safe queens. Her original plan was to not talk to Jinkx, but with one sight to them changed her entire mind. This was more then just Queens, this was real, and deep. This was not how Jinkx usually was, and something was wrong, anybody with any sense of eyesight could tell that. Ivy approached the other quietly, and shyly as she gently placed her hand on the others back, trying to gain her attention

"Jinkx, are you okay?" She asked softly and kindly, worry and concern shone though her voice and eyes.

Jinkx looked up slightly at her, the tears that glimmered on her cheeks sent  more waves and chills of worry though the other queen. Their face was pale underneath all the running makeup. "I can't stay awake..." Jinkx whimpered, full of disappointment in herself
