SIENNA'S POV
"On three down them" I say as I pick up my own shot. Apple sourz is the best flavour out of the sourz I think to myself as I count down "One... two... three" and then I down my shot before picking up the cocktail to take with me.
"Harry, meet me on the dance floor I'm going to tell the Dj my song request" I say then turn to rush off to the Dj.
"Wow, hold up" Harry says catching my arm just in time. "Gotta be quicker than that princess" Charlie says laughing.
"I'm going to the Dj" I say to Harry.
"And how many drunk people you gotta pass alone to get to the Dj booth hmm? I'm coming with you" Harry says standing up.
"Seems your out of luck in winning that round" Sid says laughing.
These men forget I moved away and went clubbing on occasions, yet I'm still alive I think to myself as Harry links my arm and we start walking towards the Dj booth.
"What song are you requesting?" Harry asks.
"I'm gonna take us back in time with this one. You wait and see" I say.
"Okay, I'm sure it will be interesting" Harry says. I down my drink and leave the empty glass on a table in passing.
reaching the Dj booth Harry helps me up the step and the Dj says "What can I do for you both?"
"Whatever this women wants she gets" Harry says to tbe Dj man. I've no idea who he is or what his name is and I don't really care of introductions right now either I think to myself.
"Okay, what's the request?" the Dj asks me
"I've two, first off I want Dont hold your breath by Nicole scherzinger played next. Secondly I want the mic, pass it over please" I say smiling sweetly in hope, I will have the mic handed over without issues.
"Here" Harry says passing it to me as the Dj says "I can do that song.. give me a few minutes to find it though".
"Sure thing, keep music playing in the meantime" I say taking the mic.
"Attention ladies and Charlie" I shout down the mic and Harry starts laughing next to me. I know its because I included Charlie in what I said.
I see a few people looking over a little confused.
"Alright ladies, I a fellow ladie, have a request for all of you to help me in what we are about to do.. I'm sure you have all had some kind of heart ache in life. A man who wasn't a real man or women, knock you down in life? In my case it was a man, hell he nearly killed me. So I want to see every women stood up even on chairs and tables if needed. I wanna hear you all this next song with me so loud that the asshole will hear it from his prison cell" I say and in response I hear women start cheering loudly and even some men.
"Alright, are we ready ladies and Charlie?" I say.
Everyone cheers again and then the dj nods his head to say he is going to play the song.
The music starts and alot of people must recognise the song from the music as more cheers erupted through the club.
Before I know it there are women getting on chairs as we all start to sing
You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
I look around and so many people are on there feet singing along with me so loud that I can help but smile as we continue to sing
I was under your spell for such a long time
Couldn't break the chains
You played with my heart
Tore me apart with all your lies and games
It took all the strength I had
But I crawled up on my feet again
Now you're trying to lure me back
But no those days are gone my friend
I loved you so much then I thought
Someday that you could change
But all you brought me was a heart full of pain
I stand up on the chair with Harry looking horrified as he holds onto me to stop me falling and I continue singing as I do so paying no attention to Harrys concerns at all.
You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
Don't hold your breath
"Come on louder I want to hear you all sing" I say into the mic
I was worried about you
But you never cared about me none
You took my money
And I knew that you you could kill someone
I gave you everything but nothing was ever enough
You were always jealous over such crazy stuff
I start to dance as well as singing as I watch all the women doing the same.
You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
Don't hold your breath
Move on move on
Don't look back don't look back
I jumped off a train running off the tracks
Your day is gone your day is gone
Face the facts face the facts
A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
"Come on ladies let's make them all hear us" I say then continue to sing with them.
You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath
Ooh
I look around and there's cheering from men and women.. "Thankyou, this song kept popping into my mind lately and you all just helped me really feel it and do this song justice. Keep on dancing and singing everyone" I say then I pass the mic down to the Dj and Harry helps me down as I hear clapping and cheering.
No sooner I'm on my own to feet on the floor
again Harry says "You sure know how to get a crowd going"
"I need a drink" is all I manage to say in response and Harry just laughs at me as we start walking back to the table.
"Your a strong lady, your be just fine. Trust me" a women says as we pass her.
"Thanks" I say as I continue to walk back to the table.. "See the whole club loved that. Maybe I should make you the new Dj" Harry says as we pass enougher VIP table that all start clapping as we walk past.
"I thought you wanted to dance, not turn the club into the local karaoke bar" Sid says as we reach our table.
"Lets not forget uniting women across the whole club oh and me" Charlie says making Harry, Ethan and Sid laugh and I give Charlie a sweet smile that says you love me.really though.
"Well these things just happen Charlie" I say grabbing a cocktail as I take a seat between Charlie and Ethan.
The lads start chatting between themselves while I slowly drink my drink. Yet all I can think is how although I'm out having what people think is fun. I still don't feel happy, I still feel empty and hallow inside. I touch my necklace as I imagine what my precious angel babys would of looked like. How different life would be right now. I certainly wouldn't be in a nightclub drinking and singing. Nope I'd be torn between sleepless nights, crying babys and up to my neck in nappy and feeding times.
"Sienna, you okay?" Ethan asks touching my arm. I look at Ethan and says "Yeah"
"Okay, well we were just asking you if you want anything to eat as Harry wants food" Ethan says.
"Sure, once I've finished my drinks" I say knowing full well that means leaving this place.
"No need to hurry your drinks, me and Sid will go get food. we can take over the staff room.. when we get back" Harry says
"What food do you want?" Sid asks.
"I don't mind you know what I like and don't like" I say
"Okay, make sure you steady yourself with the drinks in the meantime" Sid says before kissing my cheek. Harry kisses my cheek and says "We won't be long, don't get drunk without me" with that they head off.
I drink down the remainder of my drink and hear the Dj say "Okay ladies, I know your all hyped and I'm now getting demands left eight and centre for powerful women go to songs, let alone the heartbreak songs.. your wishes will be my command. Lads sorry but anyone wanting to pull tonight your out of luck as these women come together in women power" Followed by an eruption of women cheering.
"You did that" Charlie says passing me a shot to down with him.
"Cheers" I say downing it.
"Wow, wait for me. come on on three" Charlie says as release me by Agnes starts to play.
"Okay one... two... three" I picking up a shot and downing it with Charlie. With that I stand up on the chair close my eyes for a second as I listen to everyone singing before joining in.
Release me, release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back?
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to convince myself
That I'm better off without you
I'm not in control
So let me go
Release me, release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back?
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to convince myself
That I'm better off without you
Release me, release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back?
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to convince myself
That I'm better off without you, ooh
"Okay, I need the ladies. See you in a minute" I say to Charlie and Ethan.
Deciding to go now before I get into a enougher song.
Only, I walk two steps before the dj comes through saying "A male request with a message to the women who clearly needs to hear this next song. Your get there" With that No worries by Simon webbe starts to play and I continue walking to the bathroom but all I think is, It ain't gonna change. This pain ain't going away. I use the toilet allowing a few tears to fall at the same time and then giving myself a extra minute to make sure the tears have finished before I exit the stool. I head to the sink to wash my hands whilst also throwing water over my face. I look in the mirror to check if its noticeable that I've been crying.
"No one will notice its to dark outside" I hear someone saying and I look in the mirror to see who else is in the bathroom. Of course there's a freaking female bouncer in the toilet I think to myself.
"You clearly don't know how much they all pay attention to the littlest detail of me" I say
"I can imagine but seriously its dark out there and you didn't cry that long" The women says.
"Clearly I'm not drunk enough to still care" I say going to dry my hands and she replys "The trick is to not care what people think even when sober"
If only it were that simple I think to myself.
ETHAN'S POV
I was relieved when I see Sienna coming back out the restroom as I was starting to worry as she had been a while.
"See, I told you our princess would be fine" Charlie says.
"I know, I just worry about her" I say not taking my eyes of Sienna.
"We all do, if I'm honest I wish she had seen you loved her like that before that asshole came along because then now I know you two would of been together rightful so. Then she wouldn't be hurting like this now" Charlie says.
"Me to" I mutter quietly.
"Okay, Time for more shots" Sienna says as she reaches us yet she looks a little tipsy already.
"What? you don't want to dance or sing with me?" I say faking a sad smile.
"We can dance after more shots" Sienna says downing one yet there's only about eight left on the table.
"Hey, wheres ours" Charlie says pointing at Sienna
"On the table, be quick before I finish them all myself" Sienna says picking enougher one up. With that me and Charlie give each other a jeez looking face at each other whilst both grabbing two shots ourselves and downing them one after the other.
"Sienna is about to grab enougher one but Charlie was quick in his thinking grabbed them both saying "You need to be quicker than that next time princess. Now go dance with Ethan".
I stand up and as Sienna goes to finishes off the cocktail drink left, I take the glass from her hands and place it on the table. "Hey" Sienna says.
I take Siennas hand and spin her around as I say "Dance first drink more later".
"Okay, but its all sad music now so won't be anything great to dance to" Sienna says keeping a hold of my hand as we head for the crowd of people dancing on the dance floor.
"Dont worry, listen to the music not the words" I say trying to think of how to solve that issue.
The second we hit the dance floor I spin Sienna around again a few times until she is completely dizzy and fails into me. I steady here as she say "Alright, that enough spinning before you make me sick".
I smile and say "Dont do that it never pretty".
Once Sienna has steadied herself she starts dancing taking my hand for me to follow her lead which I do.
