I guess you can say I'm one of the happiest people alive right now. Yep, Eleanor Nash, happy. Who would have thought? Ashley and I are sticking together and not accusing each other of stupid things. Her and Craig have been an item for a while now, my plan worked. In front of the whole cafeteria, he sang her song on his guitar, and at the end, he gave her a dozen roses. She practically cried. It was a happy although vomiting moment. She promised I could be her maid of honor at their wedding. Which is what? A hundred years from now? Lucky me. Spinner and I, a steady couple. He comes over every now and then. Everyone was just so amazed by us being together. Hello? I'm allowed to date right? So that was broadcasted everywhere. Paige broke it off with Jason after he revealed his hatred for gays. How did I know? As for mom, she's doing so much better! She got into the program and hasn't drunk since our little incident. She has a mood swings but she has a strategy for keeping them under control. Dad isn't home as much but when he is, he makes it worth it. As for me, I'm still struggling but I'm doing so much better with mom and Spinner there. I'm not as unhappy as I use to be.

The band. As you know, I've joined and we've come so far! I'm lead singer and I'm lovin it! We have our first song down! It's called Shattered Glass. It sounds amazing! We've found a name for our band, Held Captive. I like it. And since we have everything pieced together, we're going to have a battle of the bands! Yep, a place called House Of Blues. We're totally going to rock-out! Craig's solo sounds so great! My original lyrics are cool too. I knew my black book of words would come in handy for my dreams! I've always wanted a band and I hid it in that black book but not anymore. Can't wait for the BOTB (battle of the bands).

"Okay, are we ready?" I ask the three. Everyone nods. I breathe heavily. "I cannot believe we're doing this," I say happily.

"Elle, calm down, we'll be fine," Spinner says. I hold onto my mic and look back at him. He grins.

"Sh, they might here us," Marco whispers. I bite my lip hard and look forward at the red curtain.

"So here they are! Give it up for, Held Captive!" The curtains start to rise and my hands shake nervously. I swallow hard when the red creates the crowd. It's big. Not huge but big enough for me to want to jump off and run away. My eyes shift over the heads. I'm shaking so bad right now. I hear Spinner very faintly 'one two three' the guitars sound off and so does the drums. It starts off good and I wait for my cue from Craig. His guitar lets off a hard sound cueing me. I remember the lyrics in my head.

'Piece by piece I've fallen, and only you can put me together again' I start. I continue on with the verse settling into hearing my own voice around the huge room. My voice sounds a bit shaky but I continue and start to fall into it. 'Shattered glass among the floor' the chorus starts. I grin as people start to cheer. I keep on going and soon I start shaking around my hair and moving my mic around. The cheers get louder and my mind is filled with lyrics. I look over at Craig while I still sing and he's ready for this. He's ready to go for the solo. 'Break me!' I scream through the mic then there goes his guitar. Loud and vibrating. I almost laugh. This is so amazing. It only last a few seconds but I can feel it in my skin. I go back to the chorus, which I sing over and over until I can barely breathe which doesn't faze me much. 'Break me!' I scream one last time. The crowd roars and I get uncontrollable Goosebumps. We all bow with a smile as the light dims and the curtains fall. As soon as they do, I turn away from my microphone and practically scream in laughter. I run immediately to Spinner. I jump into his arms and hold him tight.

"Oh my gosh," he laughs. I laugh back. We pull away and look at each other happily. I hurry in for the kiss. Passionate and romantic. I hold onto his neck and he holds onto my waist. I know their watching. I pull away and grin. "I love you," he whispers. I chuckle.

"I love you too," I finally say. Our first time saying this. Ever. We both laugh and he holds me in his arms.

That night we won. We didn't exactly get to go to L.A. But we did get a trophy although I don't think that was my reward. I got something so much more. My own happy life and someone who will stay with me forever, my love, Spinner Mason.

THE END –

I love my own ending lol.... I don't know about you but I liked it. Yeah some of the stuff sounds lame, the name, Held Captive, I just thought it would be cool since the title told you the story all along. And the secretive black book held her dream, singing. Shattered Glass was written by me so don't steal it, you can still say that the song sucked cause I don't want you to hold back anything! Ellie is happy!!! Well, here is one review of my new story: Sundown Colors:

She was the girl who turned hot in a day. The one who turned into Craig's side dish. The one who turned into a mom. Until of course, she decided to not have her precious gift. Is Craig willing to accept her back? Or is it someone else she's meant to be with? No this isn't a Craig/Manny story, I don't want to give so much away. Keep your eye out for it!
