Wow, I'm getting pretty far with this story, already on chapter 14. Oh! I have a new story called Ghost Of You, you guys should begin reading it too, it's pretty funny.
Now that we know about Ally's brother, we can continue the contest. STAGE 2!
DISCLAIMER: I SO DO NOT OWN AUSTIN AND ALLY!
Ally's P.O.V
It took me 3 days to finish but I finally got the perfect song to sing for stage 2! I finished just in time too because today's the next round. Aiden would be soooo proud of me, I wrote it just for him.
"Ya'll ready to get this night started?!" the MC yelled and the crowd screams, "I know you are and we have some special guests performing after this but I'm not going to tell you who they are just yet. It's fun to keep you guys guessing" the crowd groans but claps anyway and the MC laughs, "Anyway, let's get started. Are first performer tonight is..."
"So who do you think the special guests are?" Dez asks
"I don't know, maybe Mcfly, that'll be pretty cool" Austin says
"Yeah, but I don't think it's them because Mcfly is on tour right now" I say
"Oh, then I got nothing" Austin says
"So, Ally, Austin said that you wrote the song we're singing today" Kevin says and I nod, "I never knew you were such a great writer"
I laugh, "I'm just a writer not a great one"
He shakes his head no, "No, really, the song is amazing"
I smile, "thanks"
"We're going up pretty early tonight. Just two more performances and the it's us" Elliot says
"Yeah, I'm gonna go get something to drink so I can clear my throat" I say nervously
Austin places a hand on my shoulder, "It's gonna be fine, Als"
I smile and nod, "thanks"
I walk deeper back stage towards the cooler for some water but when I turn the corner, I accidentally bump into a hard chest and fall backwards.
I sit up and bring my hand up to my forehead, rubbing it, "Ow, I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going"
I look up when the person starts laughing, "It's all good, it was my fault too" he says and offers me a helping hand. I take it and he pulls me up to my feet, "I'm Ross by the way"
I smile, "I'm Ally" I stare at him and he stares back, "You look really familiar..." I say
He chuckles, "so do you. So are you one of the contestants for this?"
I nod, "yup, I'm with my boyfriend's band, Fallback"
"Next up, we have the well known front band, Fallback!" I hear the MC say
My eyes widen, "Oh my gosh, I gotta go!" I say frantically and quickly ran away towards the stage.
"Good luck" I hear him yell
"Thanks" I yell back
"Thank god your here! And you don't even have your water, what took you so long?" Trish says
"Forget about it! Anyway, let's go" I say and the guys nodded
We make our way on stage and to our places, "Hey everybody! I'm sure you guys already know who we are but for anybody who doesn't, we're Fallback!" Austin yells and the crowd gets louder, "Ally wrote this song so we all know it's going to be great" I blush, "It's called 'Save You' hope you like it"
"Save You" (Simple Plan)
Ally:
Take a breath
I pull myself together
Just another step until I reach the door
You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away
Both:
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I won't give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
Austin:
When I hear your voice
Its drowning in a whisper
It's just skin and bones
There's nothing left to take
And no matter what I do I can't make you feel better
If only I could find the answer
To help me understand
Both:
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
Ally:
That if you fall, stumble down
I'll pick you up off the ground
Austin:
If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Both:
Tell me you won't give up cause I'll be waiting if you fall
You know I'll be there for you
Ally:
If only I could find the answer
To take it all away
Both:
Sometimes i wish i could save you
And there're so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
(Oh)
I wish I could save you
I want you to know
(Ohohh)
I wish I could save you (oh)
I smile at the crowd when we finished singing. i love the adrenaline I feel after performing! We walk off stage and the MC makes his way up to the stage clapping along with the crowd, "Aren't they just amazing?!" the crowd yells louder, "yup I thought so too! Next up is someone just as amazing, Daniel Carter!"
"Austin, your man crush is up next" I say playfully
"Yay! Let's hear what master piece he has come up with this time" he says excitedly and I laugh. What am I going to do with him? I can't lie, I also think Daniel is super talented and I can't wait to hear what he has come up with since this theme is really important to me.
Daniel walks up stage and heads towards the grand piano and someone is accompanying him. A tall dirty blond girl with a violin, "hey guys, today I have a guest performing with me. Please give it up for Lindsey Stirling!" he says and they begin to play.
"How Could This Happen To Me/Untitled" (Simple Plan)
I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight
And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
I didn't notice I was crying until Austin wiped my tears away with his thumb.
"You okay, sweety?" He asks softly
I nod, "Yeah and don't start again with the stupid nickname"
He gasps dramatically, "It is not stupid"
I laugh, "whatever"
We watch a few more performances and then it was time for Double Trouble.
"I hope they sing something more...relate-able this time" Trish says
Austin nods, "yup, the song they sang last time could give toddlers nightmares"
I laugh, "well Crystal was pretty mad that they got 5th place so maybe they'll do better this time" They nod "and It looks like Crystal is taking thinks into her own hands" I say when I see Crystal make her way towards the mic, Dallas holding an electric guitar, and Trent on the piano.
"Hello Miami Arts! I'm Crystal and I'm going to be joining Double Trouble tonight. My song's called Russian Roulette" Crystal says, "Hit it guys!"
"Russian Roulette" (Rihanna)
Take a breath,
Take it deep.
'Calm yourself', He says to me
If you play, you play for keeps.
Take the gun and count to three.
Im sweating now,
Moving slow,
No time to think
My turn to go
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So, just pull the trigger
Say a prayer to yourself
He says 'close your eyes, sometimes it helps'
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here - means he's never lost
And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
Know that I must pass this test.
So, just pull my trigger
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say good-bye
But its too late to think of the value of my life
And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no
know that I must pass this test.
You can see my heart beating.
Oh, You can see it through my chest.
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no
know that I must pass this test.
So, just pull the trigger
Crystal takes in a shaky breath and the sound of a gun shot rings throughout the auditorium. The crowd yells frantically, "It's not a real gun shot!" Crystal yells and the crowd calms down.
"Wow, that was really good" I say, "Crystal's got an amazing voice"
"Yeah but the song wasn't about suicide, it was about a dangerous game" Danny says
"Yeah" Kevin agrees
"So they can't win this round since the theme was off" Dez says
"But the song was really good" Trish says and I nod
"Not as good as yours, Ally" A voice came from behind us, we all turn around to see who is was. Two blond guys, A blond girl, two boy brunettes and a brunette girl with chestnut highlights.
"Ross!" I exclaim, "Wait, what are you doing backstage?"
He chuckles, "did you forget I was backstage when we met?"
"Oh yeah...so are you performing or something?" I ask
Trish groans, "Come on Ally, don't tell me you don't know who they are"
I huff, "okay I won't tell you"
Danny sighs, "They're R5, so if you piece two and two together, they'll be our special guests for tonight. That's the only explanation for them being here"
I gasps, "really?"
Ross laughs, "yup"
"So I guess it's time for me to introduce our special guests. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome R5 onto the stage!" The MC yells.
"Guess it's time for us to go" Ross says
"Good luck!" I say
"Thanks" he replies. He and his band mates make their way on stage and to their instruments. The brunette female stayed backstage though.
"You're not part of the band?" Austin asks her
She shakes her head no, "Nope, I'm Ross's girlfriend. My names Laura" she says with a smile.
He return the smile, "Nice to meet you Laura, I'm Ally's boyfriend, name's Austin"
She laughs, "cute" they stop conversing when R5 began to play.
"Heart Made Up On You" (R5)
Got my heart made up on you
Oooh, oooh, oooh
You said what you said
When words are knives it's hard not to forget
But something in my head wouldn't reset
Can't give up on us yet
No, whoa
Your love was so real
It pulled me in just like a magnetic field
I'd let you go but something's taking the wheel
Yeah, it's taking the wheel
Oh, whoa
My mind says, no you're no good for me
You're no good but my heart's made up on you
My body can't take what you give to me
What you give, got my heart made up on you
Got my heart made up on you
'Cause you'll be making it rain
Up all night thinking, I'm planning my escape
But this insomnia ain't going away
And now I'm back at your place
Oh, no
My mind says, no you're no good for me
You're no good but my heart's made up on you
My body can't take what you give to me
What you give, got my heart made up on you
Whoa, whoa
Got my heart made up on you
Look what you did, what you did
What you're doing to me
You got me searching for the words, like a silent movie
I can't breathe, I can't see It's so out of control
But baby honestly my hands are up, I'm letting go
Got my heart made up on you
My mind says, no you're no good for me
You're no good but my heart's made up on you
My body can't take what you give to me
What you give, got my heart made up on you
Whoa, whoa
Got my heart made up on you
My mind says no
Got my heart made up on you
Up on you, up on you
We all clap and scream after their performance. Ross can go insanely high for a guy. When they leave the stage we all gave them high fives.
"We gotta go now though, they have a gig tomorrow and Ross needs his beauty sleep" Laura says
I laugh, "Okay, nice meeting you guys"
"You too" Ross and Laura say in unison. They smile and walk away.
"Their good people" Austin and I say. We glance at each other and stare.
"You look just like Ross" I say at the same time he says "You look just like Laura"
"No, I don't!" We both protest.
"You guys definitely look them" Trish says
A chorus of agreement comes from the band.
Maybe we do.
MEANWHILE
Laura P.O.V
"Well, we made new friends" I say
"Yup" Ross says and we smile at each other
"You look just like Austin" I say just as he says, "You look just like Ally"
"No way!" We both say
"You guys look so much like them" Rydel says
A chorus of 'yeah' and 'yup' comes from Rocky, Riker and Ratliff.
I guess so.
