Chapter 12. Cry
"I won't let this affect me… I'm stronger now," Lizzie told herself. "Just one more night and it'll be over". She wiped her tears, retouched her makeup and hair and went back to the dance.
"-members of the Court, up to stage, please!" She linked arms with Gordo and they waited. "Jake Baker, Claire Miller! Ethan Craft, Katharine Sanders!" Kate smiled at Lizzie and they went up. "David Gordon, Elizabeth McGuire! Lawrence Tudgeman, Miranda Sanchez!" they all went upstage and waited. "Now, our Prom Queen and King are… David Gordon and Elizabeth McGuire!" they got their crowns and ribbons and danced, then Lizzie disappeared. Kate and Miranda excused themselves and went to find her. She was in the parking lot, hair down, covering her face. Her hand was stroking her ribbon.
"Is this nightmare really over?" Lizzie asked, without looking up.
"Yeah, it really is," Miranda replied.
"Guys…" Lizzie said, still looking down. Her friends looked at her. "I'm not going to Princeton. I chose Julliard" Both Kate and Miranda opened their mouths in shock.
"But… why?" Kate asked.
"Just because," she replied. "I'm going home. See ya". Lizzie walked out of the parking lot, heartbroken and tears streaming down her face.
End of chapter.
"Cry
love
Cry war
Cry innocence
That is lost forever more
Cry
joy
Cry thief
Cry beautiful
That is just beyond belief
somewhere
Cry at the end
Cry cause it all begins again
Here
you are
And so am I
And we cry
Cry alone
Cry to
me
Cry freedom
Then let yourself be free
To shed the
tears
That have to flow
To hold somebody close to you
And
then to let them go
Cry at the end
Cry cause it all begins
again
Here you are
And so am I
And we cry
Cry
peace
Cry hate
Cry faithlessness
Then just have a little
faith
Cry at the end
Cry cause it all begins again
Here
you are
And so am I
And we try to be true
Try cause we're
all about this too"
