Shine Chapter 11- He's My Only Hope
Wow. I'm doing pretty well…I got to chapter 11…Another angry dedication to Paula. I included a little line I made up that made up that I'm using later on in the story…
Really sorry about the short chapters! I'll try to either post more short ones, or think of something else…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's
a song that's inside of my soul. So, I lay my
head back down. I give you my destiny. So I lay my head back down.
It's the one that I've tried to
write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But
you sing to me over and over and over again.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only
yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
I'm giving you all of me.
I
want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my
lungs, I'm giving it back.
And
I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only
yours
I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only
hope.
After going way over last week, only two of the judges commented on each performance this week. Randy and Kara were commenting for me.
"Lila, the emotion, everything you put in that performance was incredible to watch!" Kara yelled over the screaming crowd. They screamed louder, until Randy spoke.
"Yo, that was amazing! You can really sing!"
"Thanks! I had a lot of fun out there tonight!" I replied, happy with the responses. Even Simon, who couldn't comment, was smiling. When Simon was smiling after your performance, you couldn't beat yourself up over it...

It was the results show. Anoop, Lil and Matt were the bottom 3. Anoop was walking back towards us. Lil walked towards us. Matt's only hope was the save. He was singing for his life on the show. Everyone, the audience, the 6 of us, was chanting. "Save! Save! Save!" Simon turned to him. "It's good news."
They 6 of us ran to him and hugged him. We would be the Top 7 for another week. Simon spoke again, interrupting our celebration.
"Next week will be Disco week, and a double elimination."
Great…I thought. Another one…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I flipped through lists of songs. Nothing. Of course, disco week had to be the double elimination…
Anoop walked in. "Lila, we have to go down in a few minutes…Paula has an announcement…"
"'Kay…" I followed him to the same room where I had attempted to teach Danny how to dance in…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh NO!" Danny yelled after Paula's announcement. He was staring blankly at her as if she had just turned into a unicorn or something.
"Yes…We'll be starting rehearsal for the disco dance tomorrow. Goodnight!" Paula left the room. Everyone else followed, except for Danny, who was still staring open mouthed at where Paula's face had been seconds ago.
"Danny…come on…everyone left and I'm not carrying you…"
"D-dancing…" Poor PYTD…He was scared of a little disco dance… I laughed as I dragged him back towards his room.
Tomorrow would be one…fun…day, if you want to put it that way…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so I really wanted to put this line in. It will be in a later chapter while they're on tour, but I HAD to post it now…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I threw my iTouch down. "UGH! Without Paula, it's not Idol anymore! American Idol needs a new name. Better pick fast, American Idiot's already taken!"
"Yes, Lila, because you are an American Idiot…That's why I didn't audition…" Kris muttered.
"No, first, that's you, and second I talking about the stupid, moronic, heartless, fuckin' BASTARDS that are the producers…I really shouldn't have yelled that…"
