THANK YOU ALL for reviewing, it makes me smile :D Right now I'm bludging Maths, because I hate this stupid subject and I AM NOT CONTINUING NEXT YEAR ANYWAY :D Lucky meeeee! Like I have said previously, things are different in my fanfiction from what did happen on the show!

Damian P.O.V

I let the music wash over me, as the lyrics flew past me. I was too tired, too lethargic to bother making them stick. To understand them, to believe them, to be them. Hannah smiled at me, reading over the lyrics and mouthing along with the words. I sung along with her, but my voice was flat and dead.

My eyes trailed over the four pairs, loitering around the lounge room. Samuel and Lindsay were plugging ahead, having the simplest electricity. Cameron and Marissa sat on the ottoman, talking deeply. I couldn't deny the stab of jealousy, which shot through my stomach like a bullet would. My eyes lingered longer on my best friend than they should of, but eventually they flashed briefly to an unlikely and obviously uncomfortable pair.

Alex and Matheus were dancing around each other, both trying to act the part but Matheus' expression was one of pure discomfort. I chuckled slightly, before turning my attention back to Hannah. She smiled at me but with reservations, I couldn't help but wiggling nervously hoping she didn't notice the dark circles under my eyes.

"Damian" Hannah smiled nervously, "Are you okay?"

I smiled hollowly, glancing back over at Cameron. He was talking passionately to Marissa, worry coating his features. I had to restrain myself from walking over there, instead I fixed a fake smile on my face.

"Him" Hannah said, "I'm sorry"

"What?" I asked, pulling my gaze away. She looked at me with a smirk and the glint in her eyes was obvious.

"You like him" She informed me.

The lump in my throat built up again, "Yes"

She just nodded and patted my arm comfortingly, pushing the song lyrics into my hands and yanking the earphone out of my ear.

"Ow" I complained.

"Let's practice," She suggested, "It may help"

I couldn't help but notice the sympathy dripping from her usually bright voice. She smiled at me, forcibly pulling me to my feet. I sighed, knowing she was trying to help but in all honesty she had no clue how too.

"Damian" She informed me, "This is the perfect song for you"

I fixed her with a 'really' look, making her shrug in defeat.

"Well" Hannah laughed, "Make it"

"I can't show it," I told her, biting down on my lip.

"Damian" She repeated my name, "It's a good idea to"

"I need to hide it" I snapped, my voice hard as I stared down at the lyrics. I rubbed my chin, feeling the emotions well up in my chest. They threatened to rise, to bring out all those emotions I was trying so hard to forget. I pushed them away again, looking at her with a counterfeit smile.

"Let's practice" I smiled.

Every expression that crossed my face was so forced and as the practice wore on faking them was getting easier. Hannah helped too, her easy attitude and addictive laugh decreased the weight of the boulder, which, had been painfully lowered on my chest by my feelings.

Darren Criss stood in front of them once again, smiling at the eight contestants left. They began their homework assignment, trying to show how they could work as a pair. Alex and Matheus actually pulled it out, without erupting into laughter or letting their uncomfort ruin their performance.

When Hannah and I took they stage, we had the mindset of less is always more. We both found it impossible to keep the smiles off our faces and when Lindsay and Samuel took our place, they had the exact same electricity that we had noticed in practice.

The pain hit me again, when Cameron and Marissa sung. It was sweet, desperate and honest everything the performance needed to be. I watched Cameron the fake emotion plastered to his face. He moved towards Marissa, as they both hit the last notes. Cameron's arms enclosed around Marissa, pulling her into a hug. Her long hair, which I was itching to cut off cascaded down her back as she leant her head into his chest.

I swallowed hard, as Hannah gave my hand I squeeze. Samuel on my other side, gave me a slight nudge of the elbow. The mere signs of support only made the lump bigger. I ducked my head and sat down on the cool plastic chair, watching Darren as he talked but not listening. He said something about my performance, I just nodded.

When Marissa won, the lump doubled in size. I smiled over at her and then noticed Samuel's worried gaze on me. Marissa smiled over at Cameron, "Cameron even though I have fallen in love with you over these past few days".

She paused, "But I think"

She rose and walked over to Samuel, planting herself down on one knee with a smile.

"Will you be my partner?" She asked, holding her hand out to Samuel. Cameron's face dropped, a clear reaction of Marissa's blatant rejection.

"Why yes I will," Samuel laughed, taking her hand and pulling her to his feet. They walked back towards her seat and sat next to each other, grinning from ear to ear.

I couldn't help but smile when I got my own partner, Matheus. I grinned and picked him up, hugging him fiercely. My heart was filled with joy when they told me I would have the chance I'd been waiting for, to sing a swing song. Even though my happiness was overflowing, I couldn't ignore the stab of jealousy which shot through me again as Cameron and Lindsay were partnered up.

"It'll be okay" Hannah smiled, the promise was sincere but I couldn't help but doubt her.

Cameron looked so utterly crushed when Marissa chose Samuel, what if he likes her?, The thoughts were circling my head and I couldn't help but feel dejected, as I walked towards the boy's dorm. The hallways were quiet and I couldn't be bothered wondering where they were, where he was.

What if he's with Lindsay? The voice echoed in my head, it was cruel and menacing. I stopped in my tracks, unable to process the horror of the next thought, which entered my head.

"What if they kiss?" I said, horror filling my voice. Suddenly my stomach dropped, as I felt a hand clench around my upper arm. I tried to yell, out of shock or fear I didn't know but another hand clenched around my mouth as I was pulled into a corner.

"It's me," The voice hissed in my ear, making me relax and then causing anger to flood through me system.

"What the hell" I hissed, when Samuel had let his hands drop away. He dug his hands into the pockets of his jeans, staring at the ground.

"Samuel?" I asked, he seemed so different. The confidence and laziness which always revolved around Samuel was gone and he looked, small.

"I think I like her, only a little bit you know?" Samuel murmured.

"Oh God" I replied, my eyes widening against my will. He raised his eyes to meet mine and I saw anger flash in them momentarily.

"I thought maybe because she picked me, she felt the same way but I think it's just because of my voice. I want her to like me, a lot but what if she doesn't?" Samuel rambled.

"You only like her a little bit?" I smirked, "Right?"

Samuel laughed, "Right"

I was positively buzzing from the video shoot, Matheus and I had killed it. I honestly thought we had done enough to make it, I was grinning like a madman. I walked into the 'waiting' room, with a good spring in my step.

Cameron got up when walked in and gave me a hug, momentarily stunning me. I wrapped my arms around his waist, trying not to think of how his breath felt on my neck or how he felt in my arms.

"You were brilliant" He grinned, as he stepped away. I smiled, blushing at his words of praise not the hug, of course.

"Ready?" Lindsay asked him, flinging her fake curls at him and fluttering her eyelashes.

Bitch, I thought angrily as Cameron followed her out into their area. Samuel came up behind me, nearly scaring me for the second day in a row. He tugged my shirt, forcing me to turn and look at him.

In a whisper he asked, "Did you see it?"

I frowned at him, wondering what in the world he was talking about. His eyes were glazed over and the smile on his face, appeared dopier than anything.

"This kiss" I whispered back, trying not to laugh as he nodded enthusiastically.

"It felt real" Samuel sighed; I swear he was acting like a fourteen year old girl.

"Oh!" I heard Hannah exclaim, as she was gapping at the monitor. Samuel and I turned in sync, my face dropping as my eyes locked onto the image on the monitor. Lindsay was kissing Cameron and when she pulled away, the expression on his face was filled with discomfort and mild bemusement. Anger flooded through me, besides from the immense amount of jealousy which filled my head anger roared too.

"How could she do that to him!" I exclaimed incredulously, looking at the other constants for their support. They nodded but I couldn't stop.

"He's not comfortable about those things and she just surprised him! It was different with Marissa and Samuel, he just broke up with his girlfriend for God's sake!" I yelled, thrusting my hand at the monitor.

I looked at Samuel and Hannah, who were both staring at me and obviously holding back their laughter. I sighed, stopping over to a chair and sitting down. Marissa looked at Samuel with a smile, which had slouched into the seat opposite her. She placed her crossed legs over his, much to Samuel's happiness.

"Ours isn't special anymore," She said in a tiny voice.

I glared at the song, hating how damn ridiculous it was. Hating the whole situation, Matheus was trying his best to be upbeat but it wasn't helping me instead it was just making me angrier. We worked on the steps, but I couldn't get them.

"Tell me what it is" Matheus smiled, sitting on the vanity. He was playing with the microphone, awaiting my response with an easy smile.

"Nothing" I snapped, hating myself when Matheus flinched.

"You wouldn't be acting like something's bit your arse" Matheus snapped back, "Unless something had happened"

I sighed, sinking down on the chair and allowing my sore head to fall into my hands.

"You've been off for awhile," Matheus continued, just pushing the issue.

"I just" I stuttered, staring at the mirror, the reflection of myself, "Like Cameron"

"Ah" Matheus smiled, patting me carefully on the back, "It will be okay"

"No" I sighed, "It won't. Did you see what Lindsay did, she kissed him and I overreacted"

"You acted like a best friend would, how you would. Damian, it's okay" Matheus smiled, trying to be comforting. I looked closely at my expression, the tears which were threatening to spill over.

"We should fight to stay" Matheus informed me, "We can't let you loose your shot with Cameron"

I couldn't help it, but I smiled.

The atmosphere in the longue room was thick and stuffy, with dried tears. I lay on the couch, sharing it with Cameron as Samuel sat on the floor in front of us. Lindsay was lying on the ottoman with Alex, wiping her eyes. Marissa sat next to Samuel resting her head on his shoulder. I had to smile at how still he was remaining, not wanting her to move. Hannah was sitting on the lazy boy, watching the colors on the tv.

I pulled the blanket closer to myself, watching Cameron's eyes slowly close. His head drooped forward, making him look quiet comical.

"Let's sleep in here tonight" Lindsay suggested, her voice slightly wavering. Everyone mumbled in agreement, most not wanting not to move because they were too sleepy.

"I can't believe it" Hannah sighed, looking over at me with a sad smile.

"Me either" I murmured.

Cameron fell, landing right on my legs. He didn't wake, which made me laugh.
"That boy could sleep through a bombing" Hannah laughed, watching my eyes widen. I froze and just like Samuel was, I wouldn't dare move for fear of waking him up.

Samuel craned his neck backwards to see what Hannah was laughing at, when he saw Cameron he smirked at me. I frowned back and then smirked, giving him a wink when I looked at Marissa.

"Look who's talking" Samuel laughed.

Hannah P.O.V

I tried to heave myself out of the chair, once again cursing my weight and body shape. Clumsily, I stumbled a few steps forward, before standing upright and yawning. It felt weird without Matheus here, he was usually the loud one who always woke us up early in the morning. I pried the TV remote out of Lindsay's hand, turning it off.

Standing in the middle of the room, I yawned once again surveying everyone. Samuel had his arms wrapped loosely around Marissa's waist and her head had dropped from its original position, to his chest. Hannah smiled and dropped her spare blanket over the two sleeping friends. She observed Lindsay, who was snoring in her sleep like always and there was a small trail of drool dripping down her chin. During the night Alex had obviously fallen off the ottoman, or been pushed off by Lindsay. He was curled up on the floor like a cat, murmuring things to himself.

Finally Hannah looked over at the couch, stopping the 'naw', which rose, to her lips. Cameron was much closer to Damian than he had originally been; almost so close he was sleeping on his best friend's lap. Damian's hand was resting on Cameron's shoulder and another hand trailing on the floor. In that moment she couldn't help but feel very maternal. She retrieved the blankets they were using, which currently were in a pile on the floor. She picked them up and draped them over the best friends, permitting them another smile. She turned towards the kitchen and left everyone, wondering what in the world she could cook.
