All Girl or Nothing - 'The Alternative Ending'

This was originally posted in August 2012 (before I posted the official parts 4 and 5). It was around for about a day before I took it off due to criticism left, right and center. Comments were even blocked due to its controversy (because of the horrid style it had been written in).
The reason I am re-adding this is that through the midst of anger I got from it; I also received sort of praise and pleas to keep it and have it act as the official finale or to at least keep a copy and consider re-posting in the future.
There were also some who were quite saddened at the time as it had been removed before they could read it. So for those who are still curious as to how I ruined my most popular series, here it is. The 'Alternative Ending' I am now calling it and it is to be considered only as like a deleted scene or bonus feature on a DVD.

(Hopefully, this'll make certain people hate the official finale I posted a few months back a little less when held in comparison to this!)

~o~O~o~

6 Grammys.

Hundreds of sold out concerts.

Multi-million record sales.

All in 5 years.

5 years that I will never get back.

5 years that I traded for just a few months in Juvie.

They say stardom can turn people insane. I can see all the truth in that now, although like my ascent into pandemonium, my decent is probably a lot different to that of other fallen pop stars.

The year is now 2016 and here I sit, on a plane home from Tokyo, mourning death and on my way to the courts to deny charges.

The punishment this time however will be big boy prison.

I wish I had just taken Juvie, at least there nothing happens when you drop the kiddy soap.

"I think I'm afraid that I'm fresh out of ideas, Charlotte." My lawyer put his hand on my shoulder as a weak mark of respect.

The most expensive Lawyer the record label had to offer and even he couldn't save me now.

The judge silenced the courtroom, "Alright then Miss Gibson, now that the mounting evidence that you killed one Hubert Jenkins has all been supplied, how do you plea?"

I looked down to my hairless ankles as I had found myself doing so often over these past few years.

"I have already told you, it was self-defence, he tried to rape me!"

Various chuckles could be heard from the less composed individuals that filled the aisles.

"And I have already told you young lady, that there is no evidence whatsoever to support your claim that this incident ever occured!"

"It's Mrs. Tate your honour, she bends the law to suit her needs!"

The Judge shook her head in a somewhat sympathetic manor. "Once again, no proof."

"She uses her money to tamper with the system! It's how I got into this business in the first place!"

"Oh not this again... I will not tell you again of the lies this court has found you to have conjured up, you were born Charlotte Gibson, both your records and the drug test proved this.

"It's Mrs Tate! She did stuff to me, changed my birth certificate, and killed off whoever got in her way!"

"So you're telling me that it was Mrs. Tate who killed Mr. Jenkins?"

"No," I sighed, "I can't deny that I killed him, but it was an accident, he WAS raping me!"

"As much as that wouldn't surprise me, seeing how provocatively you have dressed throughout your career, there IS NO EVIDENCE!"

Mascara was now running down my teary face as my fate seemed ever clearer.

"I just can't believe you dragged Mrs. Tate into this," the Judge continued, "after she let you into her band and then supported you all through your solo career..."

"She forced me to do it! She blackmailed me! She killed my Mum! She killed my Dad! She killed my boyfriend!"

"No evidence. No evidence. Your parents died in a car accident. And Graeme Williams commited suicide. I am sorry for your losses but the jury has found you guilty of the murder of Hubert Jenkins. I hearby sentence you to 7 years behind bars."


Ooops, was there supposed to be a happy ending?

THE END.

Some of my favorite reviews from the time:

"Gee, who would have thought a writer could be so annoyed with her readers (and hate her character so much), that she'd come back to a story she didn't want to continue and hurt them all, just because people liked her work so much they asked for more?

You could have just said no, you know.

It's one thing to head down a dark path on purpose, making that choice as a writer. But it's quite another to go there to punish people just for enjoying your writing enough to want you to continue."


"Probably not the ending the readers here wanted LOL."


"Why even have an ending? That's such a cop out....or are you doing it on purpose just to make people cry?"

~o~O~o~

Just an afternote to any one I hurt at the time: I took all of your opinions into account and rewrote it when I felt ready to. And when I eventually got around to writing the official parts 4 and 5, I actually enjoyed doing so and I hope that showed.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed sharing a cringe with me at this disaster.
