Cameron walked in circles in the room while he whispered the song. He felt so nervous that he was afraid he might forget the song in the middle of the stage. He sat on the chair and covered his face with his hands; he wanted so badly to see Damian´s calm in his eyes. He needed the warm of his hug and the softness of his lips. It was like a drug to him and he just wished he hadn´t messed up so badly before. He wanted to arrange everything bad he had done to him and start all over again.

"Well I've heard there was a sacred chordDavid played and it pleased the Lord.But you don't really care for music, do ya?" Cameron sang all over again. He watched to clock and he knew that he had just twenty minutes to rehearsal. After those minutes he would have to leave the room and join the other 4 finalist to wait for their turns to perform. None of them knew the order so he thought that everyone would be stress out when he arrived.

"Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof" Cameron didn´t need a proof for what he felt, he needed the straight to face it and accept it. "You saw her bathing alone on the roof." He remembered the first day on the boy's room, they had become best friends almost instantly. Damian had captured his attention with only his beautiful smile and his joyful eyes. "Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you."

"And I've seen your flag on the marble arch." He stood up from his chair and touched his stomach trying to find his voice. He needed to give an especial emphasis to this part of the song. One, because it was his favorite part of the song and two; because it was the prelude for the chorus. "And love is not a victory march; it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah."

"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, yeaHallelujah, Hallelujah" Cameron closed his eyes and imagined the scenario for his last performance; the light only on him and the microphone between his hands; everyone staring at him and even enjoying his song. He smiled only by the thought of Damian hearing him one day. Maybe not that night, because none of them were allowed to listen to each other performance but when the episode aired…He wanted to see Damian´s expression as he listened to his favorite song. He hoped he was there when the episode aired, next to Damian.

"And it's not a cry that you hear at night" He took a big breath and then he placed his feet, he wanted to be perfect, he needed to be perfect. He needed to be for him, the judges and him. "It's not somebody who's seen the lightIt's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah, oh" He wondered if anyone was able to listen to him, he was singing so loud and with so much emotion he was wondering if any of his neighbors had listened to him.

"Hallelujah, Hallelujah, yeaHallelujah, Hallelujah" Some knocks on the door made him stop singing and stare directly at the door. When some camera man entered he knew that the time had come.

"Are you ready?" he asked Cameron shyly.

"As much as possible." He said and then he took his guitar form the floor. He would have never guessed it but he was ready for the (until now) most important performance of his life.

.-.-.-

The room was too quiet and steady, the only thing that sounded was the tik tok of the clock and some steps form the camera men. Cameron was sitting alone on the couch while Samuel and Lindsay were next to each other on some colorful chairs, Damian was sitting in the floor with his legs crossed and playing with his tie.

"I think I am going to throw up." announced Lindsay but she didn´t move. Damian and Cameron raised their eyes shocked by the sudden comment from the girl. Samuel stood up from where he was and sat next to Cameron. "Not literally dump ass."

"Hey, no need to be so rude. I just didn´t want to risk my clothing."

Cameron sighed and then looked over Damian that was again too focused on his tie.

"You never told me what you wanted to sing." noticed Cameron as he tried to make a conversation with the younger guy.

"It is not a super song." Damian avoided the subject.

"I think whatever you sing it will be perfect." Damian blushed and then looked over Cameron with smiling eyes. "You have an amazing voice."

"Thanks Cam, I think you will do great too. I heard you practice."

"By the way I think I am going to it nicely too." Lindsay raised her hand trying to make the other notice her. When nobody answer her she crossed her arms and then buffed noisily. "Not that anyone care."

"We do care Lindsay but I don´t think your ego needs a little bit of help growing by this point." mocked her Samuel. The girl was about to answer him something when one of the sub produces entered to the room.

"We are ready to start." he announced making the contestants shake in fear. "Samuel you are first."

The guy with dreadlocks sighed and then stood up from his place. He was nervous he knew that if he trusted himself everything would end up fine.

"Wish me luck guys."

"You don´t need luck" Lindsay smiled at him and then ran to give him a last hug.

"What was that for?"

"I thought you might need a raise on your ego." Joked Lindsay and then she let go Samuel.

Cameron stood up from his place and sat next to Damian to start fiddling with his hair. Damian sighed and then leaned his head over Cameron´s shoulder. The other day, when Cameron had sung to him the song they had spent some time talking. Damian had tried to stay in character of the best friend and they had agreed to stay as friends. So it wasn´t bad for him to lean on his shoulder; right? It wasn´t anything that could mean something more.

"Are you nervous?" asked Cameron as he fiddled with his friend´s hair.

"I am terrified." accepted Damian. Cameron took him in a hug and held him tightly.

"Don´t be, you are going to do amazing." tried to convince him but Damian shook his head.

"I´m serious, I think I´m going to fade out in the middle of the stage."

Cameron sighed and then he kissed Damian´s forehead.

"Don´t think like that or you will bring the bad luck." warned Lindsay as he walked in circles around the room while she stared at her feet. Damian nodded but he still let Cameron hold him a little bit longer.

Suddenly Samuel appeared with a huge smile on his face and another producer behind him.

"Cameron, it´s your turn." announced the producer. Cameron nodded and before leaving he kissed Damian again in his forehead. When they break the hug Damian and Cameron felt cold between them. Cameron stopped and wished to have a few more minutes to keep holding Damian´s soft and warm body but he needed to sing. And he needed to sing the best as possible.

"Kill them Cameron!" screamed Damian as Cameron left the room hoping the kid would hear him. Cameron did, and he was sure he would rock the stage. Now he knew that Damian would think only about him during the performance. He walked behind the producer and then he waited for his sing.

He closed his eyes and asked God for straight and some luck. After he saw the sign he walked over the stage ready to sing.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Damian entered to the stage and he was surprised of the amount of people that were there; some ex contestants, glee members, some musician and the co writer of glee.

"Good afternoon." greeted Damian a little bit shy. He wanted to make Ryan a petition but now that there were kind of plenty of people he felt nervous of asking.

"So what are you surprising us tonight?" asked Ryan in a mocking way.

"I wanted to ask your permission to do something a little bit unexpected." Damian played with the microphone a little bit nervous. It was now or never. "I wanted to sing my last song to Cameron."

Ryan raised his eye browns surprised. Damian was able to hear some gasps from the audience.

"I wish to have Cameron here in the stage with me so I can sing to him."

"I thought the point of this was to sing for ME."

"Samuel, Lindsay and Cameron had already sung for you; I am not that special." Ryan shook his head still amazed; the kid told him he didn´t felt special. What he didn´t knew was that he was even more amazing and special than what he thought.

"So this is weird Damian. Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Robert a little bit shocked by Damian´s question.

"I think I need to do this. But if I can´t, there is no problem." said Damian. All the ex-glee contestants and some actors of the show were looking at him still in shock; Damian wanted to sing for Cameron, the one that had abused him for the last weeks.

"I think it´s a good idea Damian." said Ryan with a smile on his face by the surprise for the others judges. Ryan could be a really surprising man. "Bring Cameron to the stage and a chair for him. Also bring Lindsay and Samuel and sit them on the front seats. After all Damian is the last one to perform." he ordered to the staff people.

"Thank you so much." said Damian with a smile on his face.

The three contestants appeared just seconds later and by the surprise of the older one he was driven to the stage. When he was finally on it he looked at Damian worried. He didn´t know what he was doing here but by the expression of Damian´s face it couldn´t be bad. Some staff guy offered him a chair but he didn´t sat on it. He just stood there not sure what to do or say. Soon he realized he wasn´t the one to say or do anything. Now he was just another viewer.

"Are you ready Damian?" asked Ryan and Damian nodded.

"Good night to everyone. I am going to perform "Not Alone" by Red. I hope you enjoy it." he presented himself. He looked over Cameron and then nodded to him trying to tell him only with his eyes to sit down. It looked like they were able to communicate telepathically because moments later he sat on the chair.

Damian held the microphone between his hands tightly and closed his eyes. He let the music start and fill him. He knew the lyrics and he knew the meaning he wanted them to give Cameron.

"Slowly fading away, you're lost and so afraid" Damian stared only at the audience at first, even if t it was a song for Cameron it was also a performance for the first place; for a role for Glee. "Where is the hope in a world so cold?"

Cameron stood silent on the chair trying to fight the tears. He knew the song; it was about fear and despair, just how he had felt weeks ago.

"Looking for a distant light; someone who could save a life." Damian knew he could safe Cameron and Cameron would safe him as well. He wanted Cameron to feel secure about what he felt and not ashamed about it. Maybe the older guy didn´t knew it but loving someone wasn´t bad; even if it was of the same sex… "You're living in fear that no one will hear your cries. Can you save me now?"…because you love him, and that is one of the most pure and best things in this world.

"Your heart is full of broken dream and even when everything's gone, the pain carries on."

Cameron stood up and walked doubly toward Damian. One tear fell from his blue eyes while he sang and Cameron wanted to clean it away. Cleaned everything he had done. Erase the pain he had caused and the tears he had made Damian drop.

"Lost in the rain again. When will it ever end?" Damian kept staring at the audience even if he knew that Cameron was walking toward him. He kept singing even though he had felt a tear fall from his eyes. "The arms of relief seem so out of reach"

Cameron finally got to Damian and with his finger he took the tear softly as he touched Damian´s cheek. "But I, I am here." Damian turned to face Cameron and found him inches away from him. Instantly he put his hand on his chest like if he was trying to push Cameron away but using no force.

"And I'll be your hope when you feel like its over."

Damian moved his hand form Cameron´s chest and he tangled his fingers with Cameron´s. His hand was warm as always. "And I will pick you up when your whole world shatters." Damian knew that if Cameron accepted to have a relationship with him, then it would come the fight between his parents and their believes. He knew it and he was ready to fight; for Cameron, their love…him. He was going to defend himself this time. "And when you're finally in my arms." Cameron was whispering the song in a not audible tone of voice. Their eyes met and they kept staring at each other fiercely. "Look up and see love has a face." They both understood, they wanted to wake up every morning and stare at each other the way they were doing right now. With eyes full of love…

"I am with you; I will carry you through it all."

Ryan smiled pleased, that was exactly what he needed. Not the numb guy from the third week, not the plain and centered guy of the last weeks. The Damian he was watching singing to the guy he loved was what glee needed. Someone not afraid of doing what he thought it was needed to do and a guy who was able to rise from the ashes.

"I won't leave you I will catch you." Damian took Cameron by the neck wishing he could just kiss him and forget about everything else. He wanted so badly. And now Cameron was crying. He wasn´t sobbing or with a sad face: He was crying because he felt happy. He understood what the song was saying and he realized that Damian loved him. Damian cleaned some teats with his hand and smiled at him. "When you feel like letting go" Cameron lowered his head and his forehead met Damian´s. The younger guy closed his eyes and took a big breath before ending the song. "Cause you're not…" Cameron surrounded Damian with his arms and held him tightly. "…you're not alone"

The music went dead and it was over. When they broke apart and the applause made the walls of the building shiver the magic was gone and everything was normal again.

"I told you you were going to be amazing." Whispered Cameron as they saw how everyone was standing up and even some actresses were crying.

"So Cameron, you don´t have anything to tell Damian?" asked Robert with a huge smile on his face.

Cameron nodded and Damian offered the microphone. Cameron took it and then turned it off by the unhappiness of the audience. He left in the floor and then took Damian´s face between his hands in a paternal way.

"I realized when I did the song with Samuel, the other night, that…I was mad with you because I was angry with myself. I was angry because I have all this feelings for you. And I was scared; I was scared of everything that this could cause for me; for my family and my life in general." Damian tried to stop the tears from falling but he failed. "I let this madness hurt you and I was so sorry and worried you were never going to forgive me. I thought I had lost you forever."

"How could you lose something that is already part of you?" Cameron gasped to get some air, that couldn´t be happening. "I did this because I want to be more than just friends. I want you to be proud of me and if you want to be with me you have to accept it; in front of people. I am not willing to…"

"To be the secret?" ended the sentence Cameron. Damian sighed and then nodded. Cameron took the microphone from the floor again and turned it on by Damian´s surprise. "Well it is not going be a secret."

Now that the microphone was on again everyone waited for what he was going to tell next.

"Damian…" the younger guy covered his eyes with his hands still trying to fight the tears. Damn it, he wasn´t the one that cried and now looked at him. Crying like a baby. "Would you like to be my boyfriend?"

"Yes, I would love to." Cameron hugged him and kissed his cheek as everyone clapped and cheered them. Damian took a step away from Cameron and then he kissed him softly. Damian´s kiss was intended to be simple and quick but Cameron´s idea was different. He pulled Damian closer and opened his mouth and sucked his bottom lip. Damian loved him, loved the way he made him feel with his single touch, dizzy and weak.

"So this is really cute but we need to have some minute's alone." interrupted Ryan. Cameron and Damian pulled away kind of nervous and ashamed. "Everyone go now."

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

" So after so much talking we have decided who has won the Glee project and as well a character on the show."

The four guys kept silent as they stared at Ryan freaked out. It was the moment og the truth.

"Lindsay." The girls blinked as she heard her name. "You didn´t won." She nodded and lowered her head trying to hide her tears. She didn´t want to look like a bad loser but it was hard. It was hard to want something so baldy and one moment to another to have to let it go.

"Cameron." Instantly the two guys took hands and peeked over each other. "You haven´t won the Glee Project as well." Cameron sighed and before he took a step back he kissed Damian on the cheek. Damian held his hand a little bit longer but then he let it go resigned.

"So it comes to you guys; the top 2 of 40,000 kids." Damian started moving his weigh from one foot to another uncomfortable. The pressure was unbearable and just like Lindsay hours ago he thought he was going to threw up. "Samuel, you are something out of the usual, almost perfect." Cameron tightened his lips not happy with the comment. "And Damian, you are just the type of underdog that would represent Glee completely." Damian smiled, he didn´t understood the whole meaning of the word underdog, but as long as it gave him the part he was willing to check it on a dictionary.

"Samuel…" Damian closed his eyes tightly. "You are the winner of the glee project."

The guy with dread locks ran toward Lindsay and hugged her as they both screamed. Damian didn´t opened his eyes; he just stood there trying to avoid everything around him.

"Damian, I am so sorry." Cameron ran too toward Damian and hugged him.

"Well I didn´t completely lose." Damian tried to smile over Cameron but it looked fake. "I have you now."

"Well not completely Damian." interrupted again Ryan. Damian and Cameron looked over him shocked and scared. That freaking was man was unpredictable. "You have also won the Glee project."

Damian jumped over Cameron and kissed him on the lips fiercely. Cameron lifted him in the air and made circles exited.

"You won baby!" screamed Cameron shocked. He let go Damian and let him hug Lindsay and then Samuel. Cameron stared at Damian for a long time. His smile, his eyes, his voice, was just perfect. He looked so happy and so full of life he proposed himself to always make him feel that way. Loved and alive.

"I love you!" screamed Damian from the other side of the stage as he was hugged by plenty of camera guys and some ex contestants that had run toward the stage the moment they announced the winners. Cameron was about to scream back when Damian ran toward him and kissed him again.

"I love you too." Damian smiled and kissed him again. That was all they needed, that was all the two boys wanted. To be loved and to be able to love back.

"You promise now something?" asked Damian almost in a whisper. Cameron read his mind once again.

"I will never, ever, hurt you again." Damian tried to read his eyes and he found what he was looking for, the truth. "I swear."

"And I... believe you."
