The Enthralled Dream (re-writing)

04. Destinations and Revelations

The morning after the Six-Chair Challenge, I woke up to a note under my doorway.
Welcome to the Over 21’s group! I will not see you all until you get to the surprise destination, but if you are part of who make it past Judge’s Houses, you will return to my actual house here in London. Please… do not make me regret this decision… -Louis
I laughed and started packing up, knowing very well that we were leaving for the destination in a few hours.
As soon as I finished packing, I started getting ready. I first showered and shaved before stepping out and wrapping a towel around me. I didn’t even bother doing my hair, knowing that the flight will probably be long and it will get messed up. I did my make-up routine, which usually takes about fifteen to thirty minutes. I then slipped on my jeans and black t-shirt. I paired it with a pair of black combat boots.
As soon as I finished getting ready and packed everything I just used, Danielle knocked on my door and poked her head in.
“We’re in London. Please tell me you are covering up those arms.”
“Yeah, I just have to grab my flannel.”
“Awesome. Well, they said that we are about to load up the cars and head to the airport. Do you have your passport?”
“I didn’t have to look for it,” I said, making her laugh.
I then grabbed my suitcase and left the room, not looking back.
As we arrived to the airport, I was handed an envelope and told to not open it until we got past security and into the waiting area.
So, we went through everywhere that we could and then gathered everyone together.
To the Over 21’s,
I can’t wait to get to work with every single one of you. Your destination will be full of sun, beaches, and Americans. I will get to see my favorite family member, which is why I chose this place. Hope you all packed warmly because we are heading to the states… Los Angeles, California to be exact.
I squealed and immediately called Marcus.
“Hello?” he answered.
“Hey, so guess where this lass is going?” I asked.
“Where?”
“California!” I said, making him gasp.
“No fooking way.”
“I know! I’m super excited. Beaches, babes, and did I mention babes?”
He started laughing.
“I can’t believe that.”
“Were your parents mad?” I asked.
“No, but they are curious as to what you are going to do when your audition airs in a couple of days to keep your parents from coming to get you.”
“I will have security by then, Marcus. You need to worry about yourself and your family. They know we’re friends.”
“I’ll talk to Dad and Mum. See what the game plan should be.”
I then heard the call for our flight to board.
“Alright, Marcus. I probably won’t be able to call you in Los Angeles. I love you and if anything happens, let me know. I will drop out of this competition if I have to,” I said.
“Ya better not. My mum will kill ya,” he said, making me smile.
Marcus’s mum was amazing. She took me under her wing as soon as she saw me. Marcus told me that when she was little her father abused her, so she had a heart.
You’re probably wondering why she didn’t try to help me out of the situation? Well, she did. That’s why I’m here. Marcus wasn’t supposed to go with me, but he did. My mother was passed out drunk on the couch when I got home, and I heard my step-father in their bedroom. He never lasted long, so I quickly packed up everything that was left. I then climbed out the window and took off running.
I knew that my step-father always came to my room shortly after his thing of the night left. Worst part? He was never drunk or high when the molesting happened. He was just a cruel man.
“Elizabella?” I heard, making my thought process snap to who was calling my name.
“Yeah? Sorry,” I apologized to Dani.
“You need to buckle your seatbelt. We are about to take off,” she said.
I nodded and quickly buckled my seatbelt before shoving gum in my mouth to help with the ear-popping.
“Liz?”
“Hmm?” I hummed, staring out the plane window.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m good.”
“You sure?” she asked, making a small smile form and look at her in the eyes.
“Honestly? I’ve never been better,” I said.
Sometimes, though, people aren’t intended to follow their dreams. They can’t follow them without life reminding them just how fucked up it is.
I know my parents will come after me. I wanted to get out as soon as eighteen, but when I started packing my belongings into the car, I was shoved against the kitchen counter and knocked out. When I woke, I was lying in my bed and all my belongings were taken out of their respective boxes.
This time, I did it carefully. I hid the suitcases in my closet. I took extra clothes to Marcus’s house on the few nights that I was allowed to stay there. I also only took essentials: clothes, hygiene products, cash, chargers, and feminine products. Marcus’s mom was a huge help in this. She took me shopping. Bought me clothes for the show until I get offered clothes from wardrobe. I also worked, so I bought clothes myself.
After the flight steadied in the air, I unbuckled my seat and put in my headphones. I let the words of Just Hold On flood my ears and Louis’s voice captivate me. I probably shouldn’t be in love with my coach’s voice, but I was. It was a voice that you heard and knew immediately who it was. His voice is in the same category as Hayley Williams, Adam Levine, Bon Jovi, and so many other amazing artists. Not every artist has that capability.
It’s what I strive for.
