Onto the story!

As soon as Callie stopped singing Katrina gasped loudly as if she'd been deprived air for minutes. Fiona looked at her friend and placed a hand on her shoulder in concern. Katrina shrugged it off, shaking her head.

"I just need a minute." Katrina said softly. "Not used to these crowds anymore… I just need some air." She smiled weakly at Fiona but the brunette knew she was lying. Molly shook her head in sadness and Jack sighed.

"Drama, drama." Jack muttered under his breath and flinched when his sister hit him upside the head. Fiona's gaze returned towards the red head's retreating form and she looked at her boyfriend.

"I've got it." Clu stated and Fiona nodded smiling weakly.

"I'm going to go with him." Jack stated and Fiona rolled her eyes, biting her tongue.

Carey gasped as his fiancé stopped singing and exited the stage. Annie was staring at him in concern and his band mates were looking at him as though he had ten heads.

"You ok?" Annie whispered and Carey shrugged.

"I'm fine." Carey shrugged. His mind was running on overdrive though as he tried to process what had just happened. Had Katrina really left because of him? Why would she send him that vision and the vision of their engagement? Didn't she know this was hard enough on him?

"You ready?" Ned slapped his son on the back, looking at him in surprise as he jumped in shock. "Son?"

"Sorry- I'm fine."

"Callie was good tonight, wasn't she? That was a great cover of Rebecca." Ned grinned at his son and Carey nodded, shrugging. "I think it was a good choice not to sing The Crossing- I really hate that song." Ned chuckled to himself as he grabbed his son's guitar and headed towards the stage. "God Mike! Can't you hurry up with that piano? You're acting like it's heavy or something! C'mon people, we've got a show to do!"

Carey felt his heart thundering as the lyrics to Rebecca played back in his head. Why would Callie do that to him? To make him feel worse? Or to send him a hint?

"Carey c'mon." Annie shook her friend, a smile on her face. "It's time for preshow." She grinned evilly, dragging her friend towards their band mates.

Katrina was fuming as she weaved through the crowd. Her mind was running a million miles a minute, her body shaking as she recounted what had happened during the siren's performance. How dare they violate her mind like that?

"Kat!" Jack's voice called to her and she rolled her eyes as she finally made her way towards the backstage entrance. She flashed the VIP pass Annie had left with her ticket and nodded at the body guard. The backstage area was buzzing as Ned and the rest of the roadies finished setting up for Annie's performance and she smiled briefly at the older man. "Kat wait up." Jack shouted again and she ignored him. Clu grabbed the red head by her arm, pulling her back. Damn him and his long legs.

"What the hell is going on? What's the rush?" Jack asked as he caught up to the two.

Katrina growled, her green eyes blazing at Clu as she struggled to get free of his grip. "Let go of me. I'm done with this crap!"

"Calm down." Clu warned, his blue eyes blazing. He could see the hurt and anger in his friend's eyes and while part of him wanted to just let the red head settle things her way, they couldn't afford to make a show. "People are watching."

"Clu-"

"You need to calm down and not let this get to you." Clu stated, his hand loosening a little on Katrina's arm. Katrina sighed heavily, her cheeks flushed as she fought to control her anger. After a moment she nodded, shrugging free of Clu. "She's just messing with you, don't let her win."

"I didn't do anything to her." Katrina hissed. "We're working towards the same damn goal!"

"I don't know why she did it." Clu replied.

Jack had been confused as they chased Katrina towards the backstage area but hearing the anger in the red head's voice he realized that Callie's rendition of his mother's favorite song was a slap in the face to the red head. "Maybe she feels threatened."

"She proved her point when she started wearing that ring." Katrina replied. "He doesn't want me around. I get that. I don't need it rubbed in my face by that bitch-"

"Kat let's just go back and watch Annie perform. Don't let her win." Clu said softly.

"She was inside my head." Katrina whispered her green eyes filling with tears. "She saw… she made Carey see-"

"Shit." Jack muttered running a hand over his face. "This is so not what I signed up for."

"Jack." Clu growled. Jack raised his hands in defense, shrugging.

"Sorry." Jack sighed. "Let's just go back and enjoy Annie's set ok? She's worked hard for this and she was so excited that you might show." Katrina nodded, shrugging. "Don't let Callie get to you. I don't know 

what she did or why she did it, but she's just feeling threatened. Girls are weird like that." Jack shrugged and Katrina smiled weakly. "See? That's what I like to see! A smile!"

Clu grinned and nodded gratefully at his friend. "Let's go get us some drinks and enjoy the rest of this show." Placing an arm around Katrina's shoulder he led the way through the crowd back towards the VIP area.

"You guys are great!" Annie shouted her grin huge as she took in her audience. The crowd had started screaming when she and the band had entered the stage and they hadn't stopped yet. "I thought we'd slow it down for a bit though- we've been going non stop since we got into this town and I think it's time we sat for a bit, no?" She smiled at Ned as he brought out a stool and she sat gracefully on it. "This is one of my favorites to sing live- I hope you like it. It's called One Sure Thing." She smiled at their keyboardist Ron and he began the melody.

"Some days she won't come out to shine- lighting the day just won't be on her mind. I don't blame her no I don't think anything. Some days the tide's running too low they say water always find a place to go. Low tide, I don't need anything- all I know is you're my one sure thing…" Annie grinned up at Jack as she sang and he grinned back. Clu and Fiona were grinning like mad at her and she knew she was killing the song. Molly was swaying to the music and Irene had joined their friend upstairs, enjoying the performance but ready to respond to any malfunctions that could happen backstage.

"In the madness, it's hard to find a way to start cause at some point I know I'll fall apart. And find myself unraveling, into my one sure thing…" Annie's voice echoed through the venue and she grinned to herself. Carey and Gavin began to play in tune with Ron and the song picked up. She allowed her gaze to float to Katrina and smiled at the red head. Katrina smiled back, winking at her before turning her attention towards Carey. The red head was staring thoughtfully at her ex boyfriend and Annie felt her heart ache.
"Some nights it's too damn hard to think- those nights I can't sleep without a drink. There's nights, I see everything, other nights; all I want is my one sure thing. Oh these nights I don't feel anything but most of the time, I can't feel anything…" Annie turned back to her audience, grinning as a few of the men shouted and cheered. Shaking her head she stood up, moving closer to the crowd.

"In the madness, it's hard to find a way to start- or is that madness where I find my way out?" The song was almost over but Annie loved to end the song with a bang. She looked back up at her boyfriend, locking eyes with him as she sang and he laughed at her. His eyes widened a moment later though and her eyes filled with confusion. She could see Fiona and Clu shouting at her but she couldn't hear them over the crowd. Katrina had disappeared from the balcony and looking into the crowd she could see Marie struggling to get towards the stage. She glanced over towards Carey, confused. Carey was no help though- the blonde was too lost in the music. "Cause at some point, I know I'll fall apart- and find myself unraveling, into my one sure-" She gasped as she was pushed and fell to the ground, a heavy weight on top of her. She heard a crash in the background and looked up at her drummer who lay on top of her.

"What the hell Gavin?" Annie growled softly at her friend, annoyance clear in her eyes. Gavin stood shakily, helping the singer up.

"Sand bag." Gavin pointed to the middle of the stage and Annie paled. She looked around her, trying to make sure her band was ok. Carey was staring at the bag in shock and Ron was pale, but both seemed ok.

"Shit." Annie cursed her blue eyes full of confusion.
