"Alright guys this next song is a song that I wrote, it's special to me because it's about a person that means the world to me. Umm he is the love of my life, I know it sounds corny but he is, so Martin this is for you", said Ruthie smiling in his direction.
All the guys in the baseball team whooped and cheered and patted a blushing Martin on the back. Mac smiled at his friend.
"Knock him dead girl", said Harmony smiling.
If
I was drowning in the sea
would you dive right in and save me?
If
I was falling like a star
would you be right there to catch me?
If
I was dreaming of your kiss
would you look right through me?
Ruthie looked at Martin that was now standing in front of her. She walked to the edge of the stage and felt him pick her up around the waist. Everyone was looking at them. They were all smiling. Ruthie felt him set her down on the ground. She continued to sing.
On
the street I'm waiting
In my heart it's raining
Your eyes
are holding up the sky
Your eyes make me weak, I don't know
why
Your eyes make me scared to tell the truth
I thought my
heart was bullet-proof
Now I'm dancing on the roof
And
everybody knows I'm into you
Ruthie swayed as Martin held her. She held the microphone in her hand and sang to him. He held her closer to his body. Harmony smiled. Eventually other couples joined them on the floor. But Ruthie and Martin was in the center of the room. Ruthie held tightly to his body swaying to the song with her eyes closed.
If
my heart was sadder than a song
would you still listen?
If my
tears fell on you, one by one
would you see them glisten?
On
the street I'm waiting
In my heart it's raining
Your eyes
are holding up the sky
Your eyes make me weak I don't know
why
Your eyes make me scared to tell the truth
I thought my
heart was bullet-proof
Now I'm just dancing on the roof
Simon looked at his little sister in awe really.
"My god she wrote that?" asked Lucy.
Simon nodded his head. He didn't hear the song because Ruthie wanted it to be a surprise for Martin. The song was beautiful. Simon was looking up at the girl on the guitar. She must have felt his eyes on her because she smiled and winked at him. He didn't even notice when Lucy and Kevin moved away from him so that they could dance.
Every
single thing you say makes me want to run away
Sometimes love's a
rainy day but life goes on
Your eyes are holding up the
sky
Your eyes make me weak, I don't know why
Your eyes make me
scared to tell the truth
I thought my heart was bullet-proof
But
I'm dancing on the roof
And everybody knows I'm into you

When the song ended, Ruthie still clung to him smiling. Everyone's cheering is what brought them back into reality. Sammie looked at Mac smiling.
"Alright we are going to get another song sung by Mac", said Harmony smiling.
I
don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I
don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I
don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in
one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from
Once again Mac shocked the audience with his skills. They were getting into the song. They were singing with him. Sammie had a big smile on her face obviously proud of Mac. She continued drumming.
I
don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be
lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of
mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got
to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything
other than me
Martin was cheering too. He sang along with Ruthie that was in his arms right now. She was singing along with the rest of the crowd. They were enjoying this. Mac didn't have any dance moves so he just tapped his foot to the ground with the beat of the song singing into the microphone.
I'm
surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters
everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I
turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one
who's learned!
I don't want to be
Anything other than what
I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me
and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round
rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to
be
I don't want to be anything other than me
The next verse got everyone cheering loudly. Martin even forgot that Vincent was at the dance. He knew he would have to tell Ruthie later though. Ruthie had told him that this whole week Vincent seemed to be following her. He didn't like that one bit and he had so choice words for him. Basically Martin made it clear that Vincent would get his assed kicked if he didn't stay away form his girl
Can
I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and
that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The
crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And
now I'm telling everybody
I don't want to be
Anything other
than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is
think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round
rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I
don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be

"Hey everyone it's about that time, yes the two hours are up so we have only one more song left", said Harmony.
Ruthie went up on stage. Everyone gave their groans of displeasure.
"Come on guys we have to rest you know, anyway I hope you like this last song of ours, Ready", said Ruthie.
Harmony nodded her head. When everyone heard the beat they went crazy.
DJ
put a record on
I wanna dance with my baby
Do you like
to
Boogie woogie, do you like to Boogie woogie,
do you like to
Boogie woogie, do you like my dancing
Ruthie was dancing on stage. Everyone was getting into the song. Martin smiled at his girl on stage. He just couldn't help himself. She was perfect to him and she was so sexy.
Hey
Mr. DJ put a record on I wanna dance with my baby
And when the
music starts
I never wanna stop, it's gonna drive me crazy
Music,
music
Music makes the people come together
Music mix the
bourgeoisie and the rebel
Don't think of yesterday and I don't
look at the clock
I like to boogie woogie
It's like ridin' on
the wind and it never goes away
But she's everything I'm in got to
have it everyday
Music makes the people come together
Music
mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel
Hey Mr. DJ
Simon looked on and glared. He saw the Vincent guy staring at his sister and he did not like that one bit. What was wrong with that kid anyway. He was the one that decided to not be with Ruthie why was he acting up now. Simon shifted his attention towards the door and almost tripped at who he saw there.
"Sandy", growled Simon walking towards her.
Do
you like to
Boogie woogie, do you like to
Boogie woogie, do you
like to
Boogie woogie, do you like my dancing
Hey Mr. DJ
put a record on I wanna dance with my baby
And when the music
starts
I never wanna stop, it's gonna drive me crazy
Martin saw the same thing that Simon saw and went towards Sandy too.
"What the hell are you doing here", yelled Martin.
His face was one with pure rage.
"Martin I need to talk to you, it's important", said Sandy giving him her best puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah how about no", said Martin.
"Go away Sandy now", said Simon looking at the girl in front of him.
She looked very pregnant now. Martin looked at her and turned his attention back to Ruthie that just ended her set. He smiled. He didn't even notice the look of anger and resentment that Sandy through him. He didn't care. Simon looked at Martin and saw his face change he saw a look of pure rage cross his face before he walked towards Ruthie and a guy that seemed to have grabbed her arm.

Ruthie got off stage then she didn't want to wait another minute. She had been on stage most of the night and she didn't spend time with Martin. She had to fix that. She walked towards the back when she felt a strong arm grab her. She spun around.
"Vincent", said Ruthie looking into the eyes of her ex boyfriend.
"We need to talk", said Vincent.
He looked angered by her.
"Let go of my arm you are hurting me", said Ruthie trying to get away from him.
"She said let go", growled Martin.
Vincent let go of Ruthie's hands.
"I told you to stay away from my girl, now you get the punishment for not listening", growled Martin.
He raised his fist drawing it back but he felt a hand hold him back. He spun around to look into the eye of
