Fuentes Girl

A celebration of an ending

I sucked in a breath as I walked inside. The room was noisy and I could see people stretching, getting ready for the show. There was a buzz backstage that made me feel high. I knew there were thousands of people out at the front waiting. That scared me a little but I tried to keep calm. I've been remembering the techniques I've been learning at therapy. I'm getting better, I don't mind if men hug me anymore or kiss my cheek - as long as I hold my breath and count the seconds we're touching.
Dad was walking around the room doing his vocal warm ups. He had his eyes closed. Mike was with Jaime stretching. I spotted Tony too talking on his phone. I went over to Dad and tapped his shoulder. He sighed in annoyance but smiled when he saw me.
"When did you get here?" Dad asked.
"Just. Matt dropped me off," I explained.
"How was practise?"
"It was okay," I smiled.
"Did you do the warm ups?"
"Yes," I rolled my eyes.
"And the techniques I gave you?"
"I did. Leave me alone,"
"Okay, okay," he said and held up his hands defensively.
"When you going on?" I asked.
"Soon," he smiled. Dad turned away from me and started stretching. I went to Mike and pushed him over. Jaime steadied him and Mike turned to glare at me.
"You don't need to stretch. You just sit down and hit a few dreams for a few hours," I teased.
"Want me to send you back to England?" he threatened playfully.
"Try it," I grinned.
"You okay?" Mike asked.
"I think so," I sighed.
"Time for line up!" their manager shouted. The boys started out of the room and I followed. We walked up some stairs and stopped at side stage. They lined up and Dad came over to me.
"You'll be okay?" he asked, gently gripping my shoulders.
"I think so," I nodded.
"I want you to remember your techniques and know that I'm only out there. If anything bad happens they can tell me in my ear and I'll come to you," he told me.
"Okay, thanks, Dad,"
"I've told the tech to watch out for you,"
"Yeah," I nodded. Dad handed me some plugs then looked at me. He hugged me gently and I smiled.
"I'm so proud of you, Effy Fuentes," he whispered in my ear.
"I am too," I told him gently.
"Vic!" their manager yelled. Dad squeezed me one last time before he went to line up. I popped the plugs in my ears and looked out at the stage.
They ran out and everyone started to cheer. They were playing a short opener. When it had finished Dad went to the mic and looked out over the crowd. "Are you o-fucking-kay, San Diego?!" Dad called. People screamed and Dad smiled fondly. "Tonight is special for me and for Mike and the band. It's the first show my daughters seen since our UK tour! She's her tonight so can we all go fucking crazy for Effy!" Dad said. I smiled and Dad looked over to me. I waved and Dad grinned back.
He's proud of me and so am I. The thought of doing this a few months ago would terrify me. All of these people. But now it may still scare me, but I'm okay. I can do it. I know I can. And I know one day I'm going to be doing this too. I have Matt and we're good and people will like us, I know it. As for senior year, I know I can't do it. Easily.
I've gone through so much shit. But that's all it is, shit. Shit happens and you deal with it when it does. And when it's dealt with you move on. That's what I'm doing. I'm moving on. Leaving it all behind. Nothing is going to stop me doing that. Not my mum. Not drink. Not drugs. And especially not some prick from a Godforsaken city in England. I am me and that's wonderful. If people don't like it? Fuck them.

Notes

Hey! Last chapter *sobs*. What did you think? Not just of this but of the whole story. I can't believe the feedback I've gotten! I love you guys so much, you're all perfect. I like this as an ending. Effy's dealing and moving on, like she should be.

Question - Am I doing a sequel?
Answer - Yes, of course. I always do sequels haha.
Any updates on it will be posted here.

You should all check out my other stories, I'd love you too. And never be scared to message me! Those of you that have always say you're surprised now nice and sweet I am. I'm not horrible I swear!

One more thing! Always be yourselves. If people don't like it, fuck them!

I know it's horrible but shit like this happens. I know people who have lost trials when the truth was obvious. I even know someone who got arrested for GBH and didn't get charged because his girlfriend and her people told too many lies. Hopefully it's believable though because this stuff does happen... :(
