Ella POV:

The club is electric tonight, everyone feeding off of the smiles and fast dancing. I could go like this all night long, feet moving to the crazy beat like they belong to the music. I move in my dress like my hips were made to sway, the sequins catching the disco ball light that twirls above - launching a every shade of the rainbow into the darkness.

In the club the good vibes flow like a virus, but a good one. There's love in the air, all hyped up and ready to give us a good time. Ivan weaves through the guys and girls like a pro, his smile wider than the golden gates; God I love this man.

" Who you love Ella?

Jessica said from behind me. I turned around...

" Jessy don't make fun of me, you know who am I talking about?

" Why don't you tell him then, I will stop making fun of you promise"

I roll my eyes and glance back on him.There was a softness to his appearance, a kind of warmth married to a shyness. It was the look of an honest soul and in that moment I knew I'd found a special one.

" Hey! Ella you are next go on the stage and show the world. How beautiful and magical you Voice are"

She gives me a thumbs up and I wink.

I walked up to the stage. I holds the mic with both hands



Singing gave to the words the emotions that gave them their soul. For communication in emotion evolved in us long before we had words to say. As such, the songs always said so much more in the air than they ever could as ink and parchment.

I finished singing and the crowds cheers for me.

" THANKS YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!! Enjoy your night guys!!

Jacob gives me his hand to get down from stage. Jessica gives me a high five

" You were amazing Ella as always"

" Ladies! Ladies! Do you want some drinks and it's on me" Jacob said

" I need a drink and Ella do you need one" jessica asked me but I say no to Jacob.

I said to both of them, that I'll meet you tomorrow guys because I need to go home early. Jacob become sad and I know why he likes me since we were child but I don't see him like that way.

" Jacob give me your Motor bike key. I don't want to be late for home. My step mom would kill me"

He tossed his motorbike keys towards me and caught it in the air. He told me to drive safe.

I make my way to back side of the club and grab my jacket from the locker.

I put on the jacket and zip it up. I walked towards the back door exit of the club.

I pushed the door and stepped out of the club. I glanced around and went to same spot where Jacob parked his bike as always.

I put on the bike helmet and get on the bike.



I reached outside of the house  about an hour an a half. I parked the bike down right the street. I took off the helmet and placed it on the bike.

I started walking towards the house, it's was dark outside but I love it,only one street lamp was lit.

I kept praying to God for mom that she is sleeping.

I bent down on the door way and grab the spare key from under the flower pot.

I insert the key and twisted it, as I opened the door there was a small creaking noise. As I walked through the door.

I glanced around in the house and thank God no one was there. I was Very tired, it was two A.M. and I instantly wants to sleep.

I checked the hallway and  the light were turned off. I tip toed past the hallway and towards the door. As I opened the door there was a small creaking noise. As I walked through the door it felt like a dark shadow was lingering above me. I glanced up on the stairs...

Suddenly, the lights went on and I knew for sure, what was coming for me.

" Ella is that you...

" YEAH MOM! it's me...

I stood away from door and mom came from downstairs and scan me from head to toe...

" Ella do you know what time it is?

" Yeah I know mom, I was stuck in traffic jam sorry it's never happened again"

" Why don't you leave this job and get a proper job that pays you well, stop wasting your time in that club"

I roll my eyes and said, Mom please not again. I'm sick of this entire conversation over and over again. I love what I do and I loved to sing"

I Storm in my room and shut the door. I heard mom said, our conversation it's not over yet.

When I was 12, my mom died with cancer. My dad got married again, I can say that I don't have best relationship with my step mom but not the worst one but until my dad passed out 3 years ago. I began to runaway from home because I could not handle my mother’s very highly critical nature. As an adult, I still notice myself being one who is highly critical of pretty much everything, which creates a barrier before gratefulness - inhibiting happiness.

Mom always looks fustretated on me and when we argue about something, she ended by "SHUT UP! You ungrateful."

The only place that makes me feel happy in whole world it's the club where I sing and lost myself in music

Music travels all around my body.

Now I can say it's living right through me.

Singing puts me in a good mood;

It makes me want to stand up and start to groove.

Music can make me forget all of my pain.

It brings out the sun when I can only see the rain.

I holds the mic and sing all of my songs.

I could sing a song all day long.

Music takes me to another place,

Higher than the sky and far away from the space.

There's nothing to compare to it in the whole world.

Music can teach you many lessons,

Like stand up for your rights and all the good reasons.

I know there are people who think the same way

Because they know music lives like a love

And love live in everyone
