Chapter 21: The lovers return to Gold Crown and the café
A few days later, Travis and I headed back towards town because we knew that Travis's dad was worried about us and we couldn't miss any more days of school either. "You ready to go, my love?" Travis asked lovingly. "Yes," I replied simply. With that said Travis spread his wings out and took to the sky with me in tow. A few minutes later, we arrived at the café where we greeted by Mr. Thomason who had a big relief smile on his face. "Welcome back you two," Mr. Thomason said kindly. "Thanks dad," Travis replied happily.
With that said Travis and I headed into the café where I was greeted by a swarm of fans who all wanted my autograph which I gladly gave them. When that was over, I headed backstage where I got ready for the show. Little did I know, Mytho, his friends, and Derek came into the café hoping to relax before starting their search for Beverly and Travis. Meanwhile on stage, Mr. Thomason came onto the stage and said happily, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce the return of our beloved singer, Miss. Beverly Robertson!"
As soon as Mr. Thomason said that, everyone in the entire café clapped and cheered loudly. "Hmm, I wonder who this "Miss. Beverly Robertson" really is when she isn't on stage?" Duck asked curiously. "I guess we'll have to ask her when her performance is over," Rue replied. Meanwhile backstage, I was getting ready to head onto the stage when someone grabbed me from behind. "Good luck, my little songbird," the person said from behind. "Thanks Travis," I replied happily. With that said, I headed towards the stage where the band was waiting for me with big smiles on their faces.
"Welcome back, Beverly!" they all said in unison. "Thanks guys," I replied happily. I then turned towards my audience and said, "Hey guys and thanks for coming! Well the first song I'm going to sing is "That's the way it is" by Celine Dion and the reason behind this song is that a long time ago I thought that I would never find true love however thanks to a special guy that I know really well I was able to find that which I thought I couldn't attain so this song is dedicated to him."
With that said, I began to sing:
I can read your mind and I know your story.
I see what you're going through, yeah.
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry.
But I know it will come to you, yeah.
Don't surrender 'cause you can win.
In this thing called love…
At the table, Mytho and the others couldn't believe how talented this girl sounded right now. "Wow, this girl is really talented," Rue commented. "Yeah, but doesn't she look familiar?" Fakir replied/asked.
It was then that Mytho began to notice something really familiar about the young performer on the stage but before he could say anything the young girl began to sing more of the song,
…When you want it the most there's no easy way out.
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt.
Don't give up on your faith.
Love comes to those who believe it and that's the way it is.
When you question me for a simple answer, I don't know what to say, no.
But it' plain to see, if you stick together, you're gonna find a way, yeah.
So don't surrender 'cause you can.
In this thing called love…
Backstage, Travis and his dad watched as their little songbird sang her heart out. "So son, are you and Beverly a couple now?" Mr. Thomason asked even though he already knew the answer. "Yep," Travis replied simply as he watched his girlfriend perform.
Back on stage, I sang the rest of the song:
…When you want it the most there's no easy way out.
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt.
Don't give up on your faith.
Love comes to those you believe it and that's the way it is, that's the way it is.
When life is empty with no tomorrow and loneliness starts to call
(Loneliness starts to call)
Baby don't worry, forget your sorrow 'cause love's gonna conquer it all.
Oh, when you want it the most there's no easy way out.
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt.
Don't give up on your faith.
Love comes to those who believe it, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(And that's the way it is, there's no easy way out)
Your heart
(When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt)
Don't give up on your faith.
Love comes to those who believe it and that's the way it is.
That's the way it is (That's the way it is)
That's the way it is, baby
(That's the way it is)
Don't give up on your faith.
Love comes to those who believe it and that's the way it is.
As soon as the song was over, everyone in the café clapped and cheered as loud as they could. "Thanks you everyone! Until next time," I said happily as I left the stage. When I got backstage, I was greeted by a huge bouquet of red rose. "Great performance, Beverly!" Travis exclaimed happily as he handed me the roses. "Thanks," I replied as I took the roses. Once I took the rose from him, Travis began to lean forward in order to kiss me but before he could get the chance someone yelled, "BEVERLY!"
