I pulled out the chair by the desk and ate my food as i waited for Hayley to get ready and i was watching 'The Honeymooners' what was my favourite TV show,I could hear Hayley singing some of Elvis's songs in the bathroom in the reflection of the mirror i could see her singing into her paddle hair brush and dancing around "hey Hayley you know we have to go soon? so please hurry up and get ready and stop performing for yourself" i said as I finished my food. I places my fork and knife onto the plate and went over the wood chested draws and opened the top left draw and grabbed my jewellery box, I picked up the ear rings elvis had got me. Hayley had finally got ready and started to eat her food, she looked beautiful. As I was taking my old earrings off someone at the door knocked, i quickly stood up and ran to the door, I opened the door slightly and peeked my head through the gap and i saw Sam and a few other men, I stepped out of the room "you look very pretty today Dorothy" sam said as he hugged me "thanks sam, i never knew you was coming to the show tonight" as I pulled away from him. He was going on about how him and his friends needed a men's getaway for the weekend and shortly left, I knocked on my door and Hayley unlocked it "who was that he's kinda cute" she said as I closed the door "that's my boss Hayley so don't try and make a move on him i warned her. I walked back over to the chested draws and put the pearl earrings in that Elvis had gotten me and placed a necklace that has a locket on which has a photos of me and Haley from when we was 2 years old and the other from when it was her 16th.

The telephone rang and it was the receptionist "hello miss Dorothy a car is waiting for you downstairs" a soft voice said. "Come on Hayley we gotta go" I said as I slipped my shoes on, I grabbed my coat and bag and quickly took a swig of the bottle of wine and passed it to Hayley as she grabbed the room key. We got in the lift and went downstairs, there was a skinny tall man with blonde hair sitting in the lounge chairs and stood up when he saw us "Dorothy?" He said as sorted his buttoned his blazer up, I nodded my head "this way" he said as he left the building and held the door open for me and Hayley,we got into a white car which had black leather seats, We drove 20 minutes away from the hotel and we pulled into a car park behind the venue, the queue for Elvis wrapped around the building most were teenage girls and I saw some teenage boys but not many, we got out the be hole and knocked on the back entrance of the building, Marcus opened the heavy steel door, "hello Marcus" i said as I balanced on the tip of my toes to hug him "come this way dorothy" there were girls screaming behind a metal high fence hoping to see a glimpse of elvis. We walked through a long hallway and was directed to a room, me and Hayley walked into the room Marcus left us in the room alone, we sat on a brown sofa. On the wall it had a paper sign with Elvis's schedule, so i take it he is doing interviews right now and it says at 7:30 he'll be on stage. I stood up and grabbed LIFE magazine that was on the coffee infront of us. I flicked through the pages but nothing interested me, there was a record player in the corner if the room with a bunch of records in a cardboard box. Hayley grabbed one and got it spinning on the player, I have no idea who it is but i quite enjoyed it, Hayley was dancing around the room and pulled me up from the sofa to join her to dance, we heard a knock on the door and we rushed back over to the sofa and sat down our faces were bright red. We pretended to make up and conversation and Gladys and Elvis walked in, I hugged Gladys as Hayley hugged Elvis things were a little awkward between them two because they haven't seen each other since the argument. "Gladys this is my best friend Hayley and Hayley this is Elvis's mother Gladys" they hugged. "Well darlings it was nice seeing ya but I've gotta go back to the hotel I'm feeling a little rough from all the traveling today" Gladys said with a disappointed look on her face, she hugged me and Hayley at the same time and left. elvis was sat in a chair infront of the mirror fixing his hair, "you excited to perform tonight El?" "Yes ma'am i am indeed" he said as he slicked his hair back "please don't call me ma'am it makes me feel old! I'm only 18 not 80" i joked. A group of 6 girls came bursting through the door, Elvis didn't speak to me and Hayley when they were in the room, the girls were roughly around 16-17 they were so hands on with him like touching his chest and stroking his face while the girls had Elvis's attention me and Hayley were planning our summer holiday trip, we had planned on going to California when we was 16 but that plan failed because we both failed our maths tests.

Marcus opened the door and headed over to the group of girls "ladies you've gotta go" one of the girls tugged on Elvis's arm and stroking it "really Elvis do we have to go?" "Yeah Elvis do we?!" Another said as she crossed her arms. I could see Marcus getting frustrated with the girls "come on or you'll miss the show!!" "Why don't these girls have to go!" One of the girls said as she pointed at us. Me and Hayley looked at each other and tried not to giggle "well that's none of your business little girl" elvis said as he stood up from the chair. Marcus herded the girls and moved them along "you've got 5 minutes el" Marcus said as he closed the door. I stood up "Hayley we better go and get a space in the crowd" i picked my coat and bag up off the table . I pulled Hayley up from the sofa "good luck elvis" Hayley said as she hugged elvis while he was eating a packet of candy "thanks Hayley have fun". Hayley left the the room, "good luck tonight but I'm sure you don't need it" i said to Elvis and he laughed and bit his lips "i shall" as he said that he placed his hands on the side of my face and kissed me hard. I pulled away and walked out the room, my face was bright red.

I walked left and Elvis walked right as he grabbed his guitar from the hallway, me and Hayley linked our arms together, as we walked up the hallway i looked back at elvis and I could see him shaking that god damn pelvis of his, I giggled, Hayley pushed the heavy metal door open to where everybody was standing, me and Hayley walked to the back of the hall, the room was full of energy and chatter, as me and Hayley two men who both had blonde hair who were quite tall walked up to us "hey you girls are awfully beautiful, what are you two doing here alone" Hayley laughed "actually were not here alone" the man who was talking to Hayley had a glass of red wine in his right and a glass of white wine in his left, Hayley took the glasses of wine out of his hands and passed me the white wine "well thanks for the wine" Hayley said as she raised her glass up in the air for a cheers, I laughed and took a sip of the wine, "ah she's a cocky little girl, my names Carl and this is my friend Donald what's your names?" "I'm Hayley and this is Dorothy" i looked at them both and smiled "Hayley your friend doesn't speak much does she" Donald said as he put his arm around me. I grabbed his arm and took it off me. The lights went down in the room and the crowd roared with screams, Donald stood beside me and Carl beside Hayley, me and Hayley held hands and threw our arms up in the air screaming "elvis!!" And i wolf whistled too, Elvis came on stage with scotty,Bill & D.J and the screams got louder i had to block my ears. "Good even ladies and gentlemen I'm elvis presley I'd like to play a few songs from my record that'll be realised later on in the year" the spot light beamed onto elvis as he started to sing mystery train.

I could see the joy of him being up on stage gave him, he really loved the attention and music was his passion and so were the crowds. Donald shouted into my ear "what are you girls doing later? Me and Carl are heading to a party afterwards and I wanted to know if you'll come with us" "sorry I cant" i shouted back hoping he'd hear me "come on! Don't be a party pooper!" "No i really cant go!" He kept trying to persuade me to go, I looked over at Hayley and she was having the time if her life singing along to Elvis's songs, he had now done 5 songs, this was his last one "i want to sing this song for a little lady i know, I haven't known her for long but she's a beautiful as an diamond" i gulped is this song for me or for another girl in the crowd? I didn't get my hopes up too much incase it wasn't, the band and elvis started to play " i love you because". Hayley grabbed me and turned my body towards her and started to sing to me and started to stroke my face "no matter what the world may say about me i know your love will always see me through i love you for the way you never doubt me but most of all i love you cos' you're you" i shook my head in embarrassment of what Hayley was doing. The song had finished and elvis took a bow with scotty,bill and D.J and walked off stage and the screaming once started again. Carl and Donald was trying to get us to go out with them afterwards, Marcus pushed his way through the crowd and got to me and Hayley "you ladies ready?" He shouted, "we sure are" Hayley held Marcus's hand and i held onto hers as Marcus pulled us through the crowd, "thanks got the drinks though!" I shouted at Carl and Donald. Marcus took us through a thick wood door and escorted us to Elvis's dressing room, I knocked on the door "come in" elvis said, i swung open the door and ran towards him and hugged him tight "you did great baby!" I let go of him as an interviewer walked through the door.
