Disclaimer: I don't own Chicago or any of the characters (do I really have to say this?!)
This is my first fanfiction ever, so don't expect it to be all that great...But everyone starts somewhere right? I was reading a bunch of Chicago fanfics and I really like the idea of Roxie/Velma, I don't really know why though. They're just too good for anyone else LOL. I'm guessing that she stays there for about three months or so, I don't know if that's a reasonable amount of time or not, let's just say it is. :/ Critique is welcome, even if it's not praise! (well be polite at least) I guess I'll put three entries in one chapter as I update, more or less

Velma is ruining my life. I tried being nice to her at first, doing her laundry and whatnot, but she just barked in my face and told me to stay away from her. Fine for me, I'll just make friends with the foreign lady who keeps praying in who-knows-what language. I don't know, to be honest I want to get along with Velma because I look up to her; her fame, her fortune, her talent is all I've ever wanted. I thought she would be different, but she's selfish and thinks she queen bee of the goddamn universe. I'm really trying hard to not admire her, but I don't understand why it's so difficult.

I talked to Billy today, and he's got a great story planned out. I guess history can change itself now that I actually shot Fred in self-defense because we both reached for the gun. He told me that I'm going to have my name in the front page of all of the papers. Never thought that killing some lying bastard would help me achieve all of this glory. I can't believe Amos actually paid Billy off considering what I've done to him. Well actually I can... I mean, he's the epitome of a doormat. Velma seemed so angry that I stole her precious lawyer; all he's paying attention to is me now. Even though I'm enjoying pissing her off, I sort of feel guilty at the same time. How the hell is Velma going to get off the hook? Even though she's denying it, it's pretty obvious that she killed them and the jury will see that. Who's going to buy her "I blacked out" shit? She might be Mr. Flynn's first lost cause. I don't like the bitch, but I don't want her hanged at all. I'm still hoping that there's some way we could turn our relationship around. I don't know…..I'll just wait it out.

Velma asked me to replace Veronica in her act. THE Velma Kelly wants to do an act with me. I had to pinch myself three times before I was convinced that it was really happening. I wanted to scream yes and wrap my arms around her neck, but I have more pride than that. She just wants me because I've stolen all of her publicity. I've used my fair share of people and have been used myself, and I'm not going to be a tool. I think I did the right thing by rejecting her; I have some dignity in me. Maybe calling her fat was a bit much, though…. I'd much rather have her sexy curves any day over my bony frame. God, she's so beautiful, she could make any man kill to have her in bed (oh, the irony.) When I looked back at her, she just looked like her heart was broken. I felt awful, but that was retaliation for what she made me feel like the whole time I've been here. Is that justifiable, though?
