The Enthralled Dream (re-writing)

“Good morning, everyone,” Louis said cheerfully.
He had already decided on who is going home. I could tell because he didn’t look stressed. He did look really tired though. You could tell because his eyes weren’t as bright as they usually are.
“Don’t play us like that. We all know that you are sending three of us home,” one of the guys snapped.
“Damn. Somebody isn’t a morning person. Drink some coffee. Would you rather Louis remember you for being an asswipe or being an awesome person that enjoyed themselves?” I asked.
Everyone was quiet for a second before looking at me.
“You know, you are one of the youngest ones in this group, but mature for your age,” Elden said.
“Thanks, I guess,” I said, fumbling with my shirt.
At the sight of Caitlin rolling her eyes, I stopped and looked at my coffee.
“Alright, well since everyone is in a pissy mood, I’m going to claim the studio and write. Bye,” I said, carrying my coffee up into my room to grab my songbook.
I went to the studio, closing the door, and started playing the same thing I have heard in my head for days, but never got a chance to do anything about.
I then looked at my songbook and thought about a song that I wrote when I almost gave up. Everything that had happened had become too much. It was when I started really leaning on Marcus. He gave me enough confidence to walk away from that point.
I continued the same tune, starting to sing along it.
“Thought I wasn't enough and I wasn't so tough
Laying on the bathroom floor
We were living on a fault line
And I felt the fault was all mine
Couldn't take it anymore,” I sang softly.
Memories flashed in my head of me lying in Marcus’s bathroom floor, sobbing to the point of no tears left. We both did. Marcus held me on the bathroom floor as I explained to him that my step-father had just raped me in my own bedroom.
Those times were hard. I did realize that it wasn’t my fault. My mother and father had argued over her progressing drug problem, when he stormed out.
I realized I was staring at the piano when I heard a throat clearing, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“I heard you play a little bit. What were you playing?” Louis asked.
“Um. Nothing of importance,” I said.
“Meaning you wrote the song,” he said, making me look at him.
“I didn’t-”
“Yes, you did. It’s pretty amazing so far, which doesn’t surprise me coming from you. You amaze me, Eliza,” he said.
“And how much do I amaze you?” I asked with a smirk.
“I’m not sure to what extent yet,” he said before walking away.
What?
I decided I couldn’t play anymore as thoughts of what he meant by that swarmed my head, so I went upstairs and sat on my bed, thinking back to that melody, and humming it with the lyrics. I stopped when Dani walked in.
“Hey, girlie. If you are going to shower, you need to do it soon. We are finding out in 2 hours,” she said, making me nod.
I found my shower stuff before going to our shower.
After my shower, I wrapped a towel around my head. I slipped on a red halter-top romper that had white Native American designs on it. I left my nails in the white French tip that they were in, before doing my makeup naturally colored. I curled my hair before braiding the top of my head and sticking the braid into a half-bun.
As always, I kept my cross necklace on. It reminded that he would always be proud of me and always be with me, no matter what I had done. I was ready just in time to head downstairs while I slipped on my white sandals.
When I got down there, Dani told me they were doing the same order they did yesterday.
“Good luck, Dani. You’ve got this,” I whispered, since she was going second.
Unfortunately, after they were told, they went through another door so they couldn’t give anything away.
Soon, Elden went in… then Caitlin followed.
I stood there for what felt like forever… but probably wasn’t really that long. Then, my name was called and I looked at the crew member.
“Do I have to go out there? Y’all can just tell me, can’t you?” I asked, making the crew member laugh.
“Go on, scaredy cat,” he said, pushing me outside.
I stumbled out, immediately with Louis coming into view.
“Elizabella,” he said, smiling.
“H-hi,” I stuttered.
“Are you nervous?” he asked, making me nod.
“Yeah. A little bit,” I said.
“Elizabella, your performance showed me some things that I didn’t know you could do. I didn’t know you had a versatile range, or that you could rap, which gives you more range to do a lot of things. The song choice wasn’t that great, and I feel you could have done a song that suited your voice better and you would have been more comfortable with it. I was also impressed about the fact that you didn’t even attempt the autotune because nobody can do an autotuned voice without autotune themselves, which we don’t do on this show,” he said.
It felt like the next few seconds went by breathtakingly slow. I could feel my hands get clammy and my knees grow weak. I felt like I could pass out any second.
“Elizabella, after much thinking I have decided to…”
There was another long pause that pissed me the hell off, and he knew what he was doing because of the smirk he had on his face.
“I have decided to have you stay in the competition,” he finished.
I immediately gasped, bringing a hand up to my mouth as my eyes watered.
“Are you serious?” I asked, bouncing up and down on my feet.
“Dead serious. Welcome to the live shows, Elizabella,” he said.
I immediately squealed and ran over to hug him. He knew exactly what I was doing, so he stood up before I reached him.
“Thank you so much,” I said as I hugged him.
“Help me win this season,” he said, pulling away.
I smiled and nodded.
As I went through the door, Dani ran up to me. Elden was standing close to her.
“Did you two?” I asked, making her nod.
“We made it,” she said.
“We all made it,” Elden said.
I immediately hugged them.
“Let’s go celebrate tonight. I’m sure Louis knows good places in LA, he could come with us,” I said.
“What about Louis?” we heard, seeing Louis walk up behind us.
“We were wanting to know a good nightclub to celebrate and see if you wanted to join us,” I said.
He stared at me for a second before apparently the answer he needed.
“Sure. That sounds fun.”
That day was the beginning of a fresh start for all of us, and I couldn't wait to see where mine lead.
