Epilogue:
Roxxi walked into the newsroom on a sunny LA afternoon. Things didn't seem so sunny to everyone else. The Rock Angelz had officially broken up and no one knew how to feel about it, especially her.
She had been there from the beginning. The excitement on their faces when Byron first asked them to perform with her after her old band Crash broke up. The determination they had on their faces when they were asked to sign the record deal. The laughs and the joy on their faces when they performed together. They used to be so happy, and now that it was over...where did everyone go from here?
Ryan Seacrest walked over to her with a smile on his face. Why was he smiling considering what had just happened?
"Roxxi, great to see you again dear," he said.
She reached out and gave him a hug. "How are you Ryan?"
"I'm doing great. Let's get you ready and then we'll jump right into the interview."
She sat down on the interview couch and several people came over to touch up her makeup and fluff her long dark red hair that still proudly flaunted black highlights. As usual people were going around setting up the cameras and lights. Eventually Ryan came over to sit next to her to begin.
"And...action!" The cameraman said.
Ryan began by asking her a few questions about her current music endeavors. Then jumped into the real reason why they were sitting there.
"So the Rock Angelz broke up," Ryan said.
Roxxi nodded. "Yes, they did."
"How do you feel about that?"
To be honest she didn't even know how she felt about it. She thought for a moment. "I'm...shocked. When I first saw them onstage, I never would have thought this would happen to them of all people."
"What did you think the first time you saw them?"
"When I first met these girls, they were a bunch of beautiful, excited, confident teenagers from New York. Just looking at them, you could tell they were destined for something great. Even from that first moment being onstage with them, I knew. I knew they would be famous."
"How about when they performed together?"
"They were magic onstage," Roxxi said honestly. "Literally. The way they sang and danced they just lit up the whole room. And even the way they interacted onstage made it even better. They were so happy. They smiled and laughed. They were always so comfortable being up there together. It was really amazing to watch. And i think all of that was the reason why they became so popular. They had so much passion for what they did and they were perfect together. People could see that and it drew people to them."
"Did you ever see this happening to them?"
Roxxi shook her head. "No…" Then she thought for a moment. "Well, in the beginning, no. They had been best friends practically since they were born. I can't even tell you how close these girls were."
"But you did see this happening?"
"At a certain point, I got worried. Things were deteriorating, we all saw it or heard about it. But I guess I hoped deep down they'd remember why they did this in the first place. And I remembered what happened to Crash. I didn't want that to happen to them, but it did. The Rock Angelz crashed and a burned."
"Do you think Hollywood did that to them?"
"Yeah. Hollywood fucks people up. You've got to be tough to be able to come out the same person you were going in. Everyone here has problems whether they want to admit it or not. I just wish the Rock Angelz had been able to stick it through. Maybe they would have been better off if they had never become the Rock Angelz in the first place."
"Do you see them ever getting back together?"
Roxxi hesitated. She didn't want to say no, she wanted them to get back together. But after everything, she wasn't sure if they would ever get back together. "I...I can't make that prediction. I want them to get back together. If not as the Rock Angelz, then as the Bratz. These girls really had potential. From the very beginning they did. They had potential to do whatever they wanted and be whatever they wanted to be. And i hope that one day, they can find the spark they had at the beginning and realize why they were friends in the first place. The Rock Angelz were great together, and I want them to survive."
