Chapter 8- The Show Must Go on
"And now ladies and gentlemen, The Chicago Theater is proud to present to you Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly's Last American Tour. Now in her opening number, Roxie will sing a song of love and devotion. Please welcome Roxie Hart!
The red curtains were removed from the stage leaving a dazzling white Roxie atop a chestnut-colored piano with her hair in curls. Her look was a sorrowful one. Although she was indeed recovered, she still felt a sense of guilt after her last meeting with Amos in the hospital. The audience was ecstatic and applauded the dazzling spectacular. Roxie's red lips were preparing for a speech. The piano began to play a soft recognizable tune and then she said:
" To those who have stayed with their loved ones for so long, you have no idea of great importance they are. I wish I knew that before. But since I am here, I would like to sing a song to my dear." Roxie choked on her words. She had a nasty gut- wrenching feeling in her stomach for even mentioning the name in her mind. Nevertheless, no matter how difficult it was to speak of it, she knew that she had to go on.
"No matter what you think is important, nothing can ever match the importance of love. Through the years, I felt I have been missing something and now, I know what that is. The comfort of my dear friend and once I knew it, it is too late. Now, I would like to sing a song of love and devotion to my dear friend. Amos." The tune of That Funny Honey of Mine played and Roxie began to sing, and throughout the song, bittersweet memories ran through her head, the good times spent together. So few times Roxie thought. He has his own love and importance, no more Roxie.
However, after the last act that night, Amos remained in close contact with Roxie through the years until she received another letter in the door a letter from Amos' wife Kathleen Norris. Amos enlisted in the US Army to fight in World War II. He died on the beaches of Omaha Beach from a sniper wound to the stomach. After reading the letter, Roxie no longer spoke to anyone after, not even to her next-door roommate Velma. All that resulted was her solitude in a dingy Chicago apartment, not to far from her humble jazz hall, where all her dreams and nightmares came true.
A/n:: This is the end ! I know some of you are wondering "Why Kill Amos ?!?!" Sorries , but I had to make something that will truly impact Roxie and show the importance of remaining faithful to a loved one and bring out the question .. Would you choose the happiness for yourself or for another.I think I wrote this well, but I can always make improvements in my future stories. Thanks for reading and reviewing !
