Disclaimer: I only own Julia
"Well, My life isn't as squeaky clean as you would think. I use to live in Chicago with my family. My parents split up when I was little. So my mom than became an alcoholic. She was so mean towards me I guess because I looked like my dad and she got into a car accident when I was 12. My dad lived in Kansas so I moved in with him. I don't like my stepmom; she is very rude and very controlling. The reason I looked like I did when we met is because my stepmom hated it. Also it was because I wanted a look to reflect how I felt, all dark and everything. To top of that I couldn't even get away at school because I love performing and I would get bullied. So much so I." I start to cry, Oscar grabs my hand, "I attempted suicide, I'm glad I failed because than I wouldn't have gotten to play Dorothy in Wizard of Oz, which I now won't get to play but I'm really in Oz which is better and I fell in love. Which I can't say that I've ever done." I say looking at him tears streaming down my face. "Oscar, I'm so damaged, I don't even know why I told you that." I bury my head in my hands.
I feel his hands remove mine from my face, "Look at me," I look up at him, "I don't think you're damaged, you've just been hurt by the world. " He says kissing my hands. "Could you sing for me?" he asks changing the topic., "Something from an Oz inspired thing."
I smile, "Okay I think you'll like the song I pick." I go towards my ipod and pick the instrumental version of the song and hit play:
Did that really just happen?
Have I actually understood?
This weird quirk I've tried
To suppress or hide
Is a talent that could
Help me meet the Wizard
If I make good
So I'll make good
When I meet the Wizard,
Once I prove my worth,
And then I'll meet the Wizard
What I've waited for since,
(Spoken: Since birth!)
And with all his Wizard wisdom,
By my looks, he won't be blinded
Do you think the Wizard is (Spoken: dumb?)
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded?
(Spoken: No!) He'll say to me,
"I see who you truly are -
A girl on whom I can rely!"
And that's how we'll begin
The Wizard and I:
Once I'm with the Wizard
My whole life will change
'Cuz once you're with the Wizard
No one thinks you're strange!
No father is not proud of you,
No sister acts ashamed
And all of Oz has to love you
When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
And this gift or this curse
I have inside
Maybe at last, I'll know why
When we are hand in hand -
The Wizard and I!
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba,
A girl who is so superior,
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris
Would it be all right by you
If I de-greenified you?"
And though of course,
That's not important to me
"All right, why not?" I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and I;
Yes, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and...
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know - it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday there'll be
A celebration throughout Oz
That's all to do with me!
And I'll stand there with the Wizard,
Feeling things I've never felt
And though I'd never show it,
I'd be so happy, I could melt!
And so it will be
For the rest of my life,
And I'll want nothing else
Till I die
Held in such high esteem
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Oz's favorite team;
The Wizard
And I!
I belt out the last note and I hear a thunder of applause, I turn around to see Glinda, Finley, China Girl, and Oz clapping but I go out on the balcony to see the whole town applauding. "I'm sorry everyone I didn't mean to wake you up I kind of got lost in the moment." I blush.
"What song was that?" Finley asks.
"It's called the wizard and I and it is from a play from where I come from called Wicked it's actually another story of how the Wicked Witch became the Wicked Witch and How her Glinda were friends in College. Although instead of Theodora her name was Elpheba. I always related to her because she always tried to do good but it always was misconstrued as bad. And I always felt that way."
"You're blessed with a voice like that, Child, and me and Theodora were friends once in school we were roommates actually, I believe there is still good in her." Glinda says walking away holding China Girl's hand taking her to bed.
My mouth drops I can't believe the information that Glinda leaked, "Wow," I say.
"Hey," I look up to see Oz in front of me with a look of concern, "You okay?"
I get up and kiss his cheek, "I'm fine but I am tired, Goodnight, Wizard." I say walking away.
"Goodnight Julez," He says as I close the door.
I smile, I love him I think to myself I am so in love with him.
Oscar's POV
I love her I think to myself, but I have a feeling that she is running away from her problems back home. I can't believe she almost took her own life when she has so much to give. But the more I get to know her the deeper my feelings toward her get. I hope in the end she doesn't hate me for what I want to do for her.
