"Eliza, Eliza, Eliza without a father..."

"Over there, dirty Eliza..."

On the narrow streets, children ran in a riot, laughing and laughing, humming songs that were all the rage in Queens recently.

The gray walls cast shadows on the ground, and the damp air was filled with the rotten smell of garbage cans.She curled up in a small ball by the waist-high trash can. The clothes on her body were dusty at the moment, and the original color could not be seen clearly, and there were dark marks all over the upper part.

In the dark gray, the golden hair exposed under the brim of the hat is particularly conspicuous.

"Mom said, you can't fight, it's not good children who fight..."

A small voice came from the dirty mess, suddenly, the dusty clothes shook slightly, and after a sound of "rustling", a pair of blue clothes slowly appeared under the brim of the hat. Eye.

The little child supported the ground with her hands and her back was strong. She stood up, shook slightly, and then stabilized her body.

Puddles remained on the ground where it had rained, and a child's cheek was reflected in the muddy water.

"Eliza is not dirty..." the blond child muttered softly, raised his hand to touch his right cheek, and when he took it away, he saw a gray mark left on it, "Ah... it's dirty."

The blond-haired child looked at his reflection in the puddle, and had been sullen in front of the children just now, but now his clear blue eyes couldn't stop glistening.

"click".

Dou Da's teardrops fell into the puddle and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Hi Eliza."

As soon as she entered the hotel lobby, Eliza heard the girl's energetic call.

The moment Vera saw Eliza, her eyes widened and she ran towards her happily, "Eliza, your rehearsal for today is over, let's go to dinner together! There is a dessert shop."

If it was normal, Eliza would have agreed to Vera's request with a smile, but now, she just felt exhausted.

"No, Vera," Eliza's voice was so soft that it seemed that it would float into the air in the next moment, "I'm a little tired today, and I want to go back and take a rest first."

After saying this, seeing the stunned expression on Vera's face, Eliza suddenly felt regret, "Otherwise, I..." I will accompany you to the dessert shop at night.

Before Eliza could speak, she fell into those amber eyes stained with worry.

"Elisa, you should go back and rest if you are not feeling well." After speaking, Vera pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, "I won't go to the dessert shop either."

"But..." Eliza opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Vera's arms were already around her waist, supporting her gently, "I'll take you back to your room."

Standing at the door of her room, before entering the door, Elisa turned her head to meet Vera's eyes and wanted to ask, but in the end she just clenched her teeth without saying a word.

Elisa flung herself on the bed, the sheets were as pale as the walls, she looked up blankly at the ceiling, and loneliness came to her heart quietly when she didn't expect it.

She just lay there motionless, letting her mind go blank, until the sudden ringing of the doorbell broke the silence in the room.

Behind the door, Alisa's face was still cold and she couldn't tell what emotion she was in, but her slightly rapid breathing, undulating chest and slightly messy hair made her look a bit embarrassed.

The door of the room was opened from the inside, revealing Elisa's surprised face, "Alisa, why are you here?"

Alisa's eyes quickly swept across Elisa's whole body, and she was slightly relieved when she saw her rosy complexion, but frowned suddenly when she saw the tired look between her eyebrows and eyes.

"You, go in and rest." As soon as she finished speaking, Alyssa seemed to feel that her tone was a bit too blunt, and she pursed her lips uncomfortably.

Before Elisa could speak, Alisa turned her head awkwardly, but just exposed her red earlobes in front of Eliza.

Seeing Alisa's incongruity, the corners of Eliza's mouth couldn't stop raising, and she didn't show any tendency to get angry at her seemingly tough tone, instead she frowned, "Okay."

Hearing Elisa's reply, Alisa did not leave immediately, but followed her into the house.She scanned the clean and unpopular room, only a huge suitcase stood in the corner, and everything else seemed to be how the room would be restored after the guests left.

While Alisa was looking at the room, Elisa poured two glasses of water, "Do you want ice cubes?"

"Normal ice." Alyssa responded casually.

Elisa added half a glass of ice cubes to the quilt and handed the glass to Alisa.

"Elisa, you'd better lie on the bed and rest for a while." Alisa took a sip of ice water, and then talked about it again.

When Alisa came out of the elevator just now, she happened to meet Vera who was walking back from Elisa's room.Although Vera and Alyssa are both proud, they are more familiar with each other than other players because of their mutual friend, Alyssa.

Hearing Vera's description, Alyssa almost ran all the way to the door of Elisa's room and knocked on the door.

Eliza didn't answer, but Alisa keenly noticed that the fingers of her left hand were pressing together tightly and rubbing them quickly. Her eyes were dark and she said softly, "Eliza, you have something on your mind."

"No," Eliza quickly denied it, but she was defeated by Alisa's eyes that seemed to know everything. She lowered her head a little dejectedly, propped her hands on the wall behind her, and pressed her toes together unnaturally. , "Well...a little bit."

"What's the matter, Elisa?" Alisa took a step in Elisa's direction, pressed her right hand on Elisa's shoulder, didn't speak, just waited quietly.

Eliza's voice was almost inaudible, "If... there was one thing, you knew it would be very risky to continue doing it, but for some reason, you had to go down this road, what would you choose? "

What Elisa said was a little vague, Alisa thought for a while seriously, "Is that reason important?"

"Yes."

"No matter what, you can't back down, right?"

The scene of Christopher's collapse flashed through Elisa's mind, and she said firmly, "Yes."

"Then it's over." Alisa patted Elisa's shoulder and replied with a relaxed smile, "You made a decision a long time ago, didn't you?"

Elisa looked at Alisa's smile, the corners of her mouth slightly curved, and whispered softly, "Yes..."

Didn't she make her own choice early on?

Eliza turned her head to look at the window, where the direct sunlight made her squint her eyes.

Even though the road ahead is confusing, she still has to go down this road.

The next day, after Elisa sang "Don't Cry" in full without interruption for the first time in front of Adam and Tyler, she looked to the two mentors, who smiled at her as the applause echoed through the recording In the living room, Eliza couldn't help showing a bright smile.

The time for the contestants to prepare for the competition was fleeting, and soon the recording of a new episode of "The Voice of America" ​​began.

"Welcome back to The Voice!"

The author has something to say: Today's playlist: "Don't Cry", a classic rock song by Guns and Roses.

To Eliza, to myself, to each of you.
