Jessica had always loved Bryan, the piano player in the Jeffrey K. Martin Musical Academy orchestra, and the hottest guy on campus. Finally all her dreams came true and they started to date. The week-long school talent show played one Monday night and Ryan sang. Jessica was entranced! Why wasn't he in Choir? There was something about that voice that was familiar although she'd never heard him sing before.

Nights passes and finally the final night of the talent show began.

Past the point of no return, no backward glances

The games we've played 'til now are at an end

Past all thought of "If" or "When", no use resisting

Abandon thought and let the dream descend.

What raging fire shall flood the soul?

What rich desire unlocks its door?

What sweet seduction lies before us?

Past the point of no return, the final threshold

What warm, unspoken secrets will we learn?

Beyond the point of no return.

Something was wrong. Jessie just knew it. Something was not right. She walked on stage and felt the lights flash to her. Now they both were in perfect view. This was all that she needed.

Why in the world have you been hiding? (A/N: Replaced "where" with "why")

Really you were perfect

I only wish I knew your secret

Who is your new tutor?

She ended the last part as a sneer and finished it off with a glare. He was going down now. I would get it for lying to everyone, but really… he would get it for lying to her. For once, Ryan looked extremely nervous.

She sang.

I watched your face from the shadows.

Distant through all the applause.

Her face was confused. She hadn't understood it. Just something with his singing just hadn't matched.

I hear your voice in the darkness

At this part she couldn't help the tears fall down her cheeks. He'd lied to her.

Yet the words aren't yours!!!!!She accused.

She ended with a crescendo then ran off stage. She made it to the hallway before she collapsed into tears.

Angel Of Music
Guide and guardian
Grant to me your glory

Angel of music
Hide no longer
Secret and strange angel!

Hearing footsteps she was about to tell who ever it was to leave when suddenly the being began to sing.

No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
my words will warm and calm you
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you...

She looked up and couldn't believe her eyes. Her best friend had been her Raoul the whole time. He kept singing.

Let me be your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe, No one will find you
your fears are far behind you...

She began to sing.

All I want is freedom,
a world with no more lies (A/N: Replaced "night" with "lies")
and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me...

…Say you love me?

He sang. You know I do!

They sang: Love me… (Jessica) Trust me… (Her Raoul) (A/N: Said at the same time, in case you didn't get it.)

THAT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU!!!!!!

A/N: OK. I think I did pretty well on this. Not to mention that i stayed up late even though I had Driver's Ed. in the morning (don't worry, just class, I'm not gonna kill anyone by driving tomorrow). Soooooo what does that mean? Review, Review, REVIEW!!!!.... Please? :)
