Thanks to anyone who's still reading this. I promise I will be updating a lot more often now that school is over. Please read and review.
Chapter 5: Prom
Gordo and Jon had surprised Lizzie and Miranda with a candlelit dinner at the fanciest restaurant in town. They sat at a table overlooking the lake. It was beautiful. After dinner they had to head to school to set up for their performance. They were being paid for two 30-minute sets, with an hour in between, that way they wouldn't have to play the whole dance since it was their prom too. The bass player and the drummer, who were seniors too, were already setting up when Lizzie, Gordo, Miranda and Jon arrived.
M: You guys ready for this? Playing at the prom, pretty big stuff.
L: Miranda, don't make me more nervous than I already am.
G: (whispering in Lizzie's ear) Don't worry, you'll be great. Everyone loves you and the band already, so don't sweat it. It's just another gig.
L: How do you always know the right thing to say? I'm still nervous, but just being here with you makes me feel better.
G: Good, I'm glad. I'm here and I always will be.
He gently kissed her head and then walked with Jon off the stage and out of the way. The band was just finishing up when the students really started to arrive. The band members got out from backstage long enough to take pictures with their dates and walk through Grand March. The music for the first dance, which the parents were allowed to watch, was done by the DJ. Once all of the parents had left, the band members got ready for their set and before they knew it Gordo was introducing them. Because they were an amateur band, they had no manager or anything, so since Gordo tagged along most of the time anyway he had become their unofficial representative, meaning he got them gigs and introduced them. They began there set with a new song that Lizzie and Gordo had written together called Wash. (Actually this song is a Lifehouse song, but I can't write song lyrics, so I'll be using real songs for the band's original songs, giving credit to the real artist of the song as well.)
Never meant to waste your time
Never meant to fall out of line
I always tried to get closer to you
Now it seems with every step
It feels like I'm losin' my breath
I don't know what else I can do
But you wash over me
You wash over me like rain
And you wash over me
You wash over me like sunshine
I never had to choose
Living a life with you
Or choosing lies only half true
Well, now I'd rather be
Alone with you and me
Than hiding behind these walls
And you wash over me
You wash over me like rain
And you wash over me
You wash over me like sunshine
And you wash over me
You wash over me like rain
And you fall over me
You crawl over me like sunshine
Like sunshine
Everything in the world was fallin' through
All I knew was to look to you
My sunshine
All my life never found my place
Until I felt the sunlight on my face
My sunshine
Never meant to waste your time
Never meant to fall out of line
I always tried to get closer to you
Now it seems with every step
It feels like I'm losin' my breath
Well, I don't know what else I can do
But you wash over me
You wash over me like rain
And you wash over me
You wash over me like sunshine
And you wash over me
You wash over me like rain
And you fall over me
You crawl over me like sunshine
Like sunshine
Like sunshine
Like sunshine
Lizzie sang lead on most songs, with Miranda on back up, switching for some songs. Gordo stood right up front and Lizzie stared right into his eyes when she sang. To give herself confidence mostly, but also to give the song meaning. They filled their two sets with Lifehouse and other covers and several original fan favorites. The crowd loved them, and this fact did not go unnoticed by a certain man standing in the back. Little did anyone know how much this man would turn all of their lives upside down in the next couple of months.
