Chapter 7: The Girls
Sorry for the wait readers. Been busy especially with Christmas just around the corner
Disclaimer: I still own nothing but my ideas and the character Mr. Ross.
(A/N) More musical inspiration for this chapter…. Carly is Hopelessly Devoted while Sam is thinking that Freddie doesn't see her there (songs are the following: "Hopelessly Devoted" by Olivia Newton John, and "Like I'm not even here" by Diana Degarmo
"Alright ladies, you're next" shouted Mr. Ross He stopped Freddie on his way back to his seat and told him "Good way to admit you like a girl Mr. Benson."
Freddie just looked puzzled and headed back to his seat where he would wait for Carly and Sam to sing their songs
"What did he mean?" Freddie pondered.
Just then, Carly made it to the stage and made sure the band knew what song she would be singing. As the music started Freddie was torn out of his thoughts and was forced to refocus on what was happening in front of him.
Carly waited for her cue in the music for her lyrics and then began singing.
Carly started off by sitting on the edge of the stage looking downward as though she was depressed, but soon got over it and headed into the audience where Gibby was seated
Guess mine is not the first heart broken,
my eyes are not the first to cry I'm not the first to know,
there's just no gettin' over you
She must have really been feeling the song because she sat down on Gibby's lap and continued singing
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait for you
Eventually she stood up and took Gibby by the hand and led him onto the stage.
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else
for me to do I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
hopelessly devoted to you
She sat him in the seat Sam had just been sitting and kneeled at his feet as she continued singing
My head is saying "fool, forget him",
my heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
Carly must have really been getting into the song because then she decided to get up and dance around him in rhythm with the music that was playing
But now there's nowhere to hide,
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head,
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you,
She was really getting comfortable because she sat back on his lap and continued singing the last line.
hopelessly devoted to you
After this last line, Carly must have really been into the song because she placed her lips on Gibby's. When they released their kiss all that was heard from center stage was "Gibby" in his cool demeanor.
The awkwardness was so thick at this point that it could be cut with a knife. Luckily Mr. Ross was able to do so without a knife, but by saying "Puckett, your turn."
Gibby and Carly walked off the stage with a hint of blush on their faces as they walked back to their seats.
Sam headed to the stage and grabbed the guitar that Freddie had been playing not so long ago.
She started strumming away at her song as the band stepped off the stage. Before he knew it Freddie heard her angelic voice and was mesmerized once again.
Out of all the places
You had to walk in here
With your brand new girlfriend
Whispering in your ear
You know this was our spot
Where we laughed, where we fought
Baby, thanks a lot
I'm hiding over here in the corner of the bar
And I'm trying not to look 'cause there you are
And I'm dying
This watered down drink is my only help
Just trying to keep myself from crying
You wouldn't even noticed if I broke down in tears
You're lovin' her like I'm not even here
This part seemed to really have touched Freddie because he stood up and started heading to the stage which seemed to take an eternity.
You never kissed me
Or looked at me that way
You said you'd miss me
Guess that's just a line you say
It hasn't even been five days
Since your car drove away
Guess I've been replaced
I'm hiding over here in the corner of the bar
And I'm trying not to look 'cause there you are
And I'm dying
This watered down drink is my only help
Just trying to keep myself from crying
You wouldn't even noticed if I broke down in tears
You're lovin' her like I'm not even here
By this time Sam had noticed Freddie walking her way, but she let it slide for now.
I caught your eye
And it's too late
You're coming this way
You're not turning away
What am I gonna say?
You're walking up to me in the corner of the bar
And I scream who do you think you are?
At this point Freddie was within arms-length of her so she pushed him away which almost seemed as though it was part of an act to go along with the song.
I've been dying
This watered down drink was my only help
You should be ashamed of yourself
I've been crying
You didn't even notice that I broke down in tears
You're lovin' her like I'm not even here
Yeah
You're lovin' her like I'm not even here
After this last line of the song, Freddie couldn't help himself, he closed the distance between them and whispered "I'm sorry Sam" then unexpected to everybody he leaned in and kissed her. She didn't immediately pull away, but almost seemed to be deepening the kiss. Once she realized what she was doing she broke away and shouted, "Just because I sang you a song doesn't mean you can kiss me nub."
Freddie and Sam ran off the stage, Sam with an angry look on her face while Freddie only seemed confused.
"Alright, that will be all for now" Mr. Ross said, "I don't think I have the right couples for the play."
Sam bolted out of the theatre and headed for the cafeteria with Carly and Gibby close in tow. Freddie on the other hand lagged behind wondering what he had done to be treated this way.
"Smooth move Mr. Benson" Mr. Ross said. "What do you mean?" Freddie asked. "You'll see this afternoon Mr. Benson, but for now I think you should get to lunch" replied Mr. Ross
As Freddie exited the theatre and the door shit, Mr. Ross whispered to himself, "I haven't found the right couples because I found the perfect ones."
