Author's Note: This chapter has a lot of songs in it. I won't be able to give lyrics to every song that will be played though. Anyway every time u see a song by Alexz Johnson let's pretend it was a song written by Ruthie like an original song because I sure as hell can't write no song lyrics. I'm not that skilled. I hope u enjoy it so onto the show. Also since this chapter is coming out too long I'm going to make it into three parts. I know you guys won't mind. Thanks again for the Reviews it means a lot.
Chapter 6
Ruthie looked through her closet. She was singing tonight at the school dance/party thing. It had been a stressful week because she had been practicing everyday after school. Apparently the dance committee didn't only want them to sing a couple of songs no they wanted a whole set. Basically a two hour set. Harmony damn near had a heart attack at that. She had agreed as well as Mac to do this but she didn't know that it would be like a mini concert. Ruthie had to calm her down a bit. After Ruthie did they got to work. Harmony basically found a way to perform for two hours. She asked her guy friend from Music class named Michael to fill in too. He was this rapper and he liked to perform. He would be a couple of songs with them. Harmony also got Mac to sing two songs too, surprisingly he had a very nice voice. Now came the hard part, choosing the songs and of course writing some of them. Harmony and Sammie wrote some songs of course but Harmony insisted that Ruthie write some too. Ruthie was nervous since she had never written a song before. Harmony asked to see her journal then. Ruthie handed it over even though she was nervous about that. Harmony smiled when she saw poems that Ruthie had written in there as well as love letters that she wrote to Martin that she never sent.
Flashback……….
"Ruthie these are songs, you just have to arrange the words", said Harmony.
"Come on let's try", said Harmony taking out a notebook and giving it to Ruthie.
She took her guitar and for the next 4 hours they worked on the song.
"This will be great", said Harmony smiling after they finished.
"You think so? Think he'll like it?", asked Ruthie looking down at the lyrics.
The song was about Martin. It was about how she felt about him.
"What are you going to call it?", asked Harmony.
"Your Eyes", said Ruthie smiling.
Harmony nodded her head.
"Alright tomorrow we will try another song okay, tell Mac to come he needs to learn how to play the music", said Harmony.
Ruthie nodded her head smiling. She looked at the song she wrote and was proud of it. It came out exactly like she wanted it to.
End Flashback………..
Martin rang the doorbell waiting for someone to open up for him.
"Hey Martin", said Annie letting him in.
"Hey Mrs. Camden, is Ruthie ready?", asked Martin.
"Almost, so she is singing tonight huh?", asked Annie.
"Yeah she is at least for half the dance, not all of it", said Martin.
"You can come by but make sure not to let her see you, she'll get nervous", said Martin smiling.
Annie had a big smile on her face.
"We will do that", said Annie.
Ruthie cleared her throat behind them. Martin's face was priceless.
"Wow", said Martin smiling.
She was wearing a lace top with jeans, it was a simple look but Ruthie made it look beyond amazing with her accessories.
"Come on we have to get there early to set up", said Ruthie pulling Martin out of the house.
"Bye Mom", yelled Ruthie.
Martin gave a wave too.
They reached there in 15 minutes. Harmony and Simon were setting up everything. Mac was practicing a little bit while Sammie listened on. She hummed one of the songs that she will be singing solo with Mac tonight.
"Hey Ruthie", said Simon kissing her forehead.
Simon shook Martin's hands.
"Ready?", asked Harmony walking towards them.
"Yeah I'm a bit nervous but I'm ready", said Ruthie.
Harmony nodded her head. She pulled Ruthie a little away form Martin.
"So the song, you ready to sing it?", asked Harmony.
Ruthie nodded her head.
"I hope he likes it", said Ruthie biting her lips.
"He'll love it trust me", said Harmony hugging her.
The gym started to fill up then. The dance was to start at 8 o clock.
"Thanks for doing this", said Harmony to Michael.
"No problem you know how I love to perform, that song that you and Ruthie wrote is awesome, and my rap will go well with it", said Michael.
The dance committee came then to stand in front of the band.
"Thank you guys for doing this, the DJ should be here in about two hours after that you are free", said Karen president of the dance committee.
"Sure no problem", said Harmony smiling.
"Alright it's time to start", said Harmony.
Simon hugged her and said, "Good Luck".
Harmony smiled and kissed him passionately before letting go.
"You are my good luck", said Harmony smirking.
Simon had this goofy smile on his face.
"Ewwww that's my brother", said Ruthie giggling.
They all walked to the stage. Mac took his guitar. Everyone was a little shocked at that because they didn't know that Mac knew how to play.
"Good Luck baby", said Martin kissing Ruthie.
"Thanks, after the set it's me and you tonight", said Ruthie smiling at him as he held her waist.
"Me and you huh, I love the sound of that", said Martin before kissing her once more and letting her go.
Ruthie walked up to the stage.
"Hey everyone, how you feeling out there tonight", said Ruthie loudly into the mic.
Everyone cheered.
"Alright I see you feeling good, well this is our band, Oasis Mourning, yeah Sammie thought of that name", said Ruthie.
Sammie rolled her eyes but laughed with everyone else.
"Alright tonight we will entertain you for two hours, we are going to do all types of music, and plus songs that me, Sammie, and Harmony have written that I hope you will enjoy, anyway, let's get this party started", said Ruthie smiling.
Everyone cheered louder.
"I think you guys know this one", said Ruthie winking. Martin smiled at her.
"One, two, three", said Sammie hitting her drum sticks.
When everyone heard the first chord of the song they began cheering and dancing.
