Chapter Ten: Insane Reality

She walks to the club as a nervous look shows in her eyes. She takes a deep breath as she walks in. She sees that it's completely empty, only with Oswald and Victor. Oswald smiles as he faces her.

"Melanie, so did you want to see what you've got?" Oswald asked as Melanie nods. Oswald smiles. "Wonderful, well go on." He then points to the stage as Melanie takes a deep breath. She then starts walking to the stage.

She then holds the microphone as she sighs. The music starts to play.

"Being a mistress on the side. It might not appeal to fools like you. We've been around on the side. Wanna be something you would do." She sings as Oswald and Victor's eyes widen in shock. 

"Did you know?" Asked Victor.

"No."

"But you haven't seen my man. You haven't seen my man. You haven't seen my man. You haven't seen him. He's got the fire and he walks with fame. He's got the fire and he walks with fame. His Bonnie on the side, Bonnie on the side, makes me so sad, girl. His money on the side, money on the side, makes me so sad, girl. I'm a sad girl, I'm a sad girl, I'm a sad girl. I'm a sad girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm a bad girl." Melanie sings, all she could think of was Jerome. Oh how she wished he was there with her.

"I think she's amazing." Says Victor, Oswald nods agreeing with him.

"Watch what you say to me. Careful who you're talking to. Watch what you say to me. Careful who you're talking to. I'm on fire, baby. I'm on fire." She decides to cut the song, so she does a little bit of it. "He's got the fire and he walks with fame. His Bonnie on the side, Bonnie on the side, makes me so sad, girl. His money on the side, money on the side, makes me so sad, girl. I'm a sad girl, I'm a sad girl, I'm a sad girl. I'm a sad girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm a bad girl." She then ends the song as she looks up at Oswald and Victor as they begin to applause.

"Can you do tonight's show?" Ask Oswald.

Melanie shrugs. "Okay." She answers making Oswald smile.

"Brilliant!"

(The song here is made up, so it's bad)

She wears a pretty red dress, black heels with her hair in a pony tail. She looks at the crow from the curtain. She takes a deep breath as she walks on stage.

The lights hits her, she could barley see anything. But she chose to ignore it. She then starts to sing.

"We met on a carousel, going round and round with children's laughter. In the corner there you are, away from the distractions. Your blue eyes shown a broken soul that was lost before I came. It's not nice when you get hurt, so I'll be your guardian angel." She sang as everyone starts to watch her.

"Have you heard of this song?" Oswald turns to face Victor as he smiles.

"No, I think she wrote it." He says as Oswald nods.

"I knew it from there, what I was feeling. I was so confused didn't know what to do. But you showed me how. How to do this right." She sang.

"She's good." Someone in the crowd says, whispering to her friend who nods.

"This is some insane reality and I don't know how it came to be. This is some crazy game that we're playing and it's getting very dark. This is some cruel world that we live in and it took you away from my grasp. This is some insane reality we live in. Insane reality."

"Do you know who she's talking about?" Oswald asked.

"No." Says Victor with a smirk on his lips.

"You're leaving, what were we supposed to do? Then that witch came and turned everything upside down. You turned dark inside, I already knew, I can tell by your eyes. But I guess that bad karma is a bitch. Then she went drop dead six feet under ground."

"So the person she's singing about, killed someone else?" Oswald asked as Victor shrugs.

"I knew it from there, what I was feeling. I was so confused didn't know what to do. But you showed me how. How to do this right."

"What did they show her exactly?" Oswald asked as Victor shrugs once again.

"This is some insane reality and I don't know how it came to be. This is some crazy game that we're playing and it's getting very dark. This is some cruel world that we live in and it took you away from my grasp. This is some insane reality we live in. Insane reality."

"And insane reality? What is she talking-"

"Shush!" Victor hushes him, making Oswald's eyes widen in shock. He frowns as he watches her.

"I guess that monsters do monstrous things. But baby, what you did was just down right crazy but I can understand why. But then you got caught out for your crime. And now you're rotting in a cell while I live in my nightmare."

"Don't." Victor says as Oswald huffs.

"I knew it from there, what I was feeling. I was so confused didn't know what to do. But you showed me how. How to do this right."   

"This is some insane reality and I don't know how it came to be. This is some crazy game that we're playing and it's getting very dark. This is some cruel world that we live in and it took you away from my grasp. This is some insane reality we live in. Insane reality."  Melanie finishes as she looks up at her audiences as they begin to clap for her. Melanie smiles as she walks off stage.

Oswald walks up to her with a smile on his lips. "That was amazing, I want you to be my singer here for now on." Oswald says, making Melanie nod.

"Thanks." She says as she then walks to the change room to get dressed.

The song she wrote, we all know who it's about. Him, Jerome. She wrote all the things that they did and how she felt. And that's what it came out to be. Some insane reality.
