-Halle's Point Of View-
Oh. My. Gosh. I flopped down on the super soft hotel bed. I couldn't believe what was happening. I had just gotten on The Voice. Team Blake. I sighed into the comforter. Who was I gonna tell? Was I allowed to tell people?
I sat up and looked around the room. It seemed so cold… just an empty hotel room with my suitcase and guitar sitting in the middle of it.
I walked into my bathroom and stared at my reflection in the mirror. Who am I? I knew the answer to that but no one ever seemed to like who I was. My mind quickly flashed back to the days when I was really young. Dad walking into the living room late, swaying side to side; He'd look at my brother and I and shake his head. Spilling his alcohol on the floor he'd walk away without saying a word. Mom would act like everything was okay but we heard her cry in the middle of the night. We saw her bruises that she'd try to hide. He would clean up his act for a month or so, and try to be the man that his father never was. But every time I'd start to believe in him, he'd slip back into his addiction..
I shook my head, trying to forget about it all. I wouldn't let his memories rule my life anymore. I took out my phone and dialed my brother John.
"Halle!" He answered with obvious excitement
"John! " I laughed, "Guess what!?"
"umm…. YOU GOT ON THE VOICE!?"
He was so great at embracing other people's excitement.
"Yeah! Not only that, Team Blake!" I yelled back into the phone
"Oh my gosh, I knew you would!" He said, "I told you that you were amazing!"
I smiled as if he could see me. "I know John, I know."
"When does the show air? I have to watch you perform."
"Next Thursday, at 8 I think. "
"Oh I'm so excited…" He faded off and I heard a bit of a sniffle "I'm just so happy you got out of your – "
I cut him off there. "I know, let's just not talk about that right now. You have to come visit me here. I'll email you all the information, alright?"
"Okay, okay." He replied.
"Oh, and don't tell anyone I made it. It'll be a surprise." I looked at the clock "I gotta go John, I'll talk to you later. Love you."
"Back at you sis." I heard the click of the call ending. I let out a sigh and thought about the battle rounds coming up in a few days.
This was gonna be a hell of a journey...
