Under construction

Epilogue

Ivory's POV

I stood backstage getting my make up done getting a natural look. I never really like a lot of make up, but I also couldn't go out there looking like trashy whore. I've always wanted to have a personal stylist or makeup artist, but I don't think I'm quite there yet. I had on a black jawbreaker skull shirt and a black leather jacket along with some grayish distressed pants, black leather bracelets, a Heart necklace, and my combat boots.

This is probably our tenth show and we're not quite famous yet, but our names are definitely getting around. We didn't have many songs yet, but like I said we're just starting. We just got this jig to open for Linkin Park and I was so excited when our contractor told us we got it.

"Ivy! You're almost on!" I heard seeing Manny pop his head in my dressing room.

"Yeah, yeah I know. Where's Elly?" I asked putting my boots on.

"Waiting for your slow ass. Not let's make it happen." I rolled my eyes and walked out with him. There wasn't that many two man bands out there which made me and Elly that much special. Everyone knew he was deaf and still playing and singing. I was proud of him that he stuck it out with me the whole time. I worked my ass off in high school to pick my grades up and I actually managed to graduate with Elly.

It took everything in me and about 100 migraines and five mental breakdowns later I managed to pull it off. My parents where so proud and cried at my graduation. Yes, even Dad shed a tear. People had asked me how I did it, but I had enough motivation to pull it off. I wanted to graduate with Elly and start working on my music too. Two things I love right in front of me on silver platter. How could I turn that down?

Even though we play out I wanted to continue my studies and start college. Right now we're doing online school and it's stressful some times, but we manage it perfectly fine. We walked toward the entrance to the stage as my eyes caught on Elly. He turned around and saw me.

"You ready, Ella?" He asked smiling at me and I nodded my head.

"I've been ready my whole life for this." He nodded as we walked out on the stage as we heard people screen and shout. Elly went to his place where the drums were and I did the same with my guitar. We were scheduled to play two songs and we had the perfect songs made by me and Elly. I started to play my guitar as I remember on the sheet music as Elly played out on his drums too and soon he came in singing.

"Cross my heart and hope to die
Burn my lungs and curse my eyes
I've lost control and I don't want it back
I'm going numb, I've been hijacked
It's a fucking drag"

[Eli and Ivy]
"I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you
So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine, yeah."

[Ivy]
"It's better to burn than to fade away
It's better to leave than to be replaced
I'm losing to you, baby, I'm no match
I'm going numb, I've been hijacked
It's a fucking drag"

[Eli and Ivy]
"I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you
So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine, yeah."

[Eli]
"Just one more hit and then we're through
Cause you could never love me back
Cut every tie I have to you
Cause your love's a fucking drag
But I need it so bad
Your love's a fucking drag
But I need it so bad"
