Losin' Grip [Open Thread]

[Natalie]

Are you aware of what you make me feel, baby
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away, Here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there, Waiting outside there
Grining with a lost stare
That's when I decided

Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Am I just some chick you place beside you
To take somebody's place
When you turn around can you recognize my face
You used to love me, you used to hug me
But that wasn't the case
Everything wasn't okay
I was left to cry there, Waiting outside there
Grinin with a lost stare
That's when I decided

Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone
You, you need to listen
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip
And I'm in this thing alone

Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud
Crying out loud, I'm crying out loud
Open your eyes
Open up wide

Why should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared
I was so alone
Why, should I care
Cause you weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care, then I don't care
We're not going anywhere

Why should I care
Cause weren't there when I was scared, I was so alone
Why should I care
If you don't care, then I don't care
We're not going anywhere

Natalie slammed the microphone on the stage, causing a huge feedback though the public didn't seem to mind. Her throat hurted a bit for singing with such hatred in her voice. She ran her hand through her hair and sighed. She saluted the crowd before stepping down the stairs and going backstage.

"..."

"Good job, Nat !"

She glanced to the short chubby man who called her; her manager. She never liked him. She swiftly put her hand on his neck and lifted him up, tightening her grip.

"Don't ... call me Nat !" She screamed before throwing him to the wall.

Usually, managers would stop working with her, but this one kept clinging onto her - she did have a real talent for singing.

[Solace Cane]

"Easy, tiger."

Solace watched with a slight smirk as "Nat" threw her manager against the wall, her arms crossed. She was backstage only because one of the 'boys' had offered her a free drink.

"Nice voice."

[Natalie]

Natalie's eyes immediately darted towards the woman who spoke. She arched an eyebrow before glaring.

"Who are you ?"

She then crossed her arms, kicking her manager in the stomach, before stepping on him, still looking at the woman.

"Sorry, I don't do autographs."

She continued looking, the woman seemed familiar ... Of course, the 'Dark Angel'. Natalie was in the music business as well as this "Eve Siren", they one the crowd called Dark Angel.

"So, you're the Dark Angel."

[Solace Cane]

"No, I'm Hell's Angel .. Dark Angel's out of business."

Uncrossing her arms, Solace put a hand on her hip and reached up with the other, adjusting her blue-tinted sunglasses.

"But thanks for the compliment."

[Natalie]

Natalie scoffed.

Though she couldn't care less about that little angel, it was impossible for the Dark Angel to be out of business. She looked down on her manager, before just pushing him away with her feet.

"You bore me, little man ..." She muttered before looking back up at 'Hell's Angel'.

"You here to sing ?"

[Solace Cane]

"You think I'd take away the main attraction ?"

She shifted her weight to her other foot, dull brown eyes staring out at the girl from behind the glasses. This Natalie was pleasantly sure about herself - something Solace liked to see in people.

[Natalie]

"No. The audience knows a 'fake' when they see one." Natalie replied flatly.

[Solace Cane]

"Then you're lucky you have a good figure to keep them distracted."

Solace turned, uncrossing her arms, and went out onstage. They went silent as they stared strangely at her, until a man yelled out, "Dark Angel !" The crowd instantly went wild, and she bent down, grabbing the mic.

"I'm not Dark Angel."

The crowd continued to cheer until enough anger filled into her body for her to scream, "I'M NOT DARK ANGEL!" They went quiet and stared at her in confusion.

"This is Hell's Angel .. So say your prayers." Taking in a deep breath, she closed her eyes and began to sing.


"I'm tearing away
Pieces are falling
I can't seem to make them stay
You run away faster and faster
You can't seem to get away

Break

Hope there's a reason for questions unanswered
I just don't see everything
Yes I'm inside you
Tell me how does it feel to feel like this

Just like I do

I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone

Do I really want this sometimes
I scare myself
I just can't let it go
Can you believe it

Everything happens for reasons I just don't know

I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
I don't care about anyone else but me
I don't care about anyone
Or anything but me

Goddamn, I love me"

The music had started to play when they realized what song she was singing, and eventually the song ended after she was done. The crowd went wild again, even though a few kept chanted "Dark Angel," irritating Solace. Her thumb pushed the "off" button as the mic slipped from her fingers, crashing into the ground.

"Don't call me Eve," she began to mutter, turning around and heading offstage... not even bothering to go backstage, to see Natalie.
