Sorry I've put off writing this for so long. I just didn't want it to end! well, here's the last chapter!
I walked into the studio, rubbing my eyes. Gwen was sitting on a couch, reading People magazine. "Jenna, you look... tired."
"I got two hours of sleep last night. Maybe."
"Great work."
"Hey, I have to sing three songs one night and then four more the next night. I need all the practice time I can get. Today I get to meet my special guest that I'll be singing with."
I walked into the practice room to see Jessie J.
"Hello, I'm Jessie. You must be Jenna." She said in that cute accent of hers.
I nodded. "So what song will I be singing with you?"
"My new song Masterpiece. Here are the lyrics, let's see what you can do."

Adam handed me the finale schedule. I was first, singing Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls. Later in the show, Adam and I were singing Blown Away by Carrie Underwood. Even later, I would sing my original song, Pull You In. I was upset that I hadn't written it, but I doubted that I would've had the time. The day after, I'd sing in the opener Pompeii, then I'd sing Masterpiece with Jessie J, then for my bring back performance I'd sing Between The Lines by Sara Bareilles with Taylor John Williams, Reagan James, and Bryanna Salaz. After, I'd sing Bang Bang with the rest of The Voice girls.
So much to do, I didn't know if I could handle it.
Only one way to find out.

The main line in Iris was 'I want you to know who I am'. I wasn't going to wear any makeup and Hair wasn't allow to touch one light blond hair on my head. My hair was extremely thin and annoyingly straight. The tear tracks permanently etched into my face were clearly seen, and my eyelashes were so light they were almost invisible, making my blue eyes stand out even more. I pulled my hair in a ponytail with many annoying bumps. I wore sweat pants and a red shirt thats straps tied together on the back of my neck. The shirt had a built in bra and a line of fabric on the very bottom of the shirt. It left my back completely bare, showing all 37 scars from beatings and knives. I was barefoot, and I was wearing no nail polish. I went out onstage, and the crowd gasped in astonishment. I wasn't bad looking, but I wasn't beautiful, either. Hair, Makeup, and Wardrobe could do so much better. And yet, I had never felt so beautiful.

I sat on a chair next to Adam as we sang. The song was emotional, and I managed to hold my own against Adam just because my voice was so different from his. There was nothing to compare between our voices, so no one thought 'Adam is killing her out there.' And that felt nice, especially since I was done up again.

The next night, I gathered Reagan, Taylor, and Bryanna around me. Taylor was the only one I felt truly confident with, but Reagan and Bryanna were close to my age. The four of us sang softly, gently, and our version was amazing. I had left it up to Taylor to arrange the song, sincere had proved with Royals that he was an amazing arranger. I, also, could arrange, but I had too much on my plate. I simply could not do everything.

I slipped into my red maxi dress and stood with the girls of the voice. Bryanna and I were the most into it, I found that I had to be completely into a song or I fell short.
Even I had to admit, I enjoyed hanging with the girls. They brought a new energy to the stage.

Finally, it was time for the winner to be announced.
Carson's voice rang out: "In fourth place... Chris! In third place... Matt!"
I either won or came in second. Either way, I was ecstatic.
"And the winner is... CRAIG WAYNE BOYD!"
I smiled and walked off to the side. I looked over at Adam. He owned a record company, didn't he..."
/-/-/-/-/-/-/
"Adam, I want a record deal."
Adam looked up from his papers. "You want a what now?"
"A record deal. You have a company. I've already written 13 songs, with a bit of refinement to them, I could have an album out in under a month."
"Deal."
Tadah! Okay, this story's done! I have an idea for a sequel, and I basically have the plot worked out for it, but I'd have to wait for season 8 to start so I would know the contestants... I'm thinking that Jenna would be the superstar advisor... Please tell me if this is a good idea or not! Bye for now!
River.
