Chapter six

Emily's POV

" Okay students. Well, this is Brookland's last night here." Darbus said.

" What? You guys aren't staying the whole time?" Kelsi asked.

" No, we only had a week." Heather said. All of us had become good friends. Monica and Kelsi had become close, as had Yumi and Taylor, and Lisa and Chad.

" No! We don't want you guys to leave!" Lexi whined (A/N in case you forgot Lexi was there just for the sake of her whining.)

" Children! Now, as I was saying, because you all liked the Karaoke Place so much, we're going to eat dinner there." Darbus continued. It was true; we loved the Karaoke Place. For the record, that is the name of the place, Karaoke Place.

That night, when we were on the puss, going to the Karaoke Place I sat by Melly.

" So, Emmers, are we going to get another special, catty performance from you and everyone's favorite princess?" Melly asked. I stared at the streak of eyeshadow, going all the way across her head, from her left temple, over the eyelid, over her nose bone, over the other eyelid and ending at the right temple.

" You never know." I said, resisting the urge to run a Hot Wheels car over it.

" Stop staring at my eyeshadow." Melly said.

" I can't, it looks like a Race Track."

" Shut up." Melly said. I stuck my tongue out. She poked my forehead, I whacked her.

" James! Wilds! Stop beating each other. You might sprain something, that won't be good for soccer." Paxton Shouted.

" Feelin' the love Paxy." Melly said. Paxton rolled her eyes.

Finally we got there and loaded out of the bus. When we got in, sat down, and gave our orders, the man was on the stage.

" Okay! Who wants to start?" he asked, indicting the Karaoke machine.

" Hey! I have an idea!" Melly said.

" That's never good." Belle said.

" Shut up, anyway, why don't we go up there? All of… most of us? We can do 'A Dream is a Wish your Heart Makes.'" She said.

" Let's do it!" Troy said.

All: a dream is a wish.

Melly:

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will loose your heartache

Whatever you wish for you keep

Kelsi:

Have faith in your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

Emily:

(A/n yeah, if there are any mistakes, again, got the lyrics of the Internet and changed the names.)

When we finished, everyone cheered. We had so much fun, dancing around and singing. Then we sat back down and listened to some others go up. When I finished my chicken fingers I decided to go up.

I was nervous as hell, and told the man what I wanted. Then, as the song started, everyone turned my way.

If I never knew you,

If I never felt this love,

I would have no inclining of

How precious life can beeee

And if I never held you,

I would never have a clue

How at last at finding you,

The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear

Full of rage and light

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes, so dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

And if I never knew you

I'd be safe but half as real

Never knowing I could feel

A love so strong and true

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever

If I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night

But still my heart is sayin'

We're right

Ooh ooh

If I never knew you

If I never knew your love

I would have no inclining of

How precious life can be

Ooh ooh ooh yeah yeah

I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

I thought our love would be so beautiful

We'd turn the darkness into light

And still my heart is sayin'

We were right

We were right!

And if I never knew you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Empty as the sky

Never knowing why

Lost forever

If I never knew you

If I never knew you

Ooh

If I never knew you

(A/N yeah, I wrote these while listening to the song, so things might be messed up, don't get mad!)

I sang it to Ryan, it was obvious I was singing it to Ryan, A dead man in Kentucky could probably tell I was singing to Ryan (A/N I love that saying 'A dead man in Kentucky.') and I didn't care that they knew. After the music started, all doubts went away.

After I finished I sat down with Ryan. He looked so happy, he kissed me and half the table had to ruin the moment with their 'oooo's and aaahhh's' I blushed, Ryan blushed, we all blushed.

" Shut up." We both said. Then he went back to eating his fries.

Ryan's POV

When we got to the hotel Paxton told the Brookland girls they had to go to bed, because they had to make sure everything was packed tomorrow.

Of course I was upset that Emily was leaving tomorrow. So, tonight was my last chance, I had to tell her.

We stood outside her door. I kissed her and then pulled away.

" Emily, I-I have something to tell you." I said nervously.

" Yeah?" she asked.

" I… I… I love you." I said. Wow, it felt weird to say it to her. It felt… right.

" I…I…" she stammered. I waited for her to say 'I love you too Ryan.' But it never came. Instead I got,

" I can't do this." She choked out and turned to go in her room. I felt my heart drop. What was this? A big joke? Were Dylan and Sharpay in on it too? Maybe everyone was, they were taking a poll 'how long before Ryan turns to mush?' whoever guessed June 23rd at 9:30 won. I turned angrily and went to my room, slamming the door.

" What's wrong?" Dylan asked after I'd slammed.

" As if you don't know." I said.

" I don't."

" Your sister." I said, that's all I said, then walked to the bathroom in long strides and slammed the door. Hoping to slam out the rest of the world.

Emily's POV

" Why did he have to ruin it?" I asked Melly. " We were having such a great time! I was getting comfortable again, and he had to go and say it!"

" Say what?" Melly asked.

" I love you!" I cried.

" I love you too Emmers, what did he say?"

" No you idiot! Ryan said that! He said he loves me!"

" Oh my god! Emmers! That's great!"

" No it's not! It's awful!" I insisted.

" Why do you say that?"

" Whenever someone says 'I love you' in a relationship, everything changes! It's less… fun, more… I don't know, like, it should be taken seriously!"

" Emmers." Melly started. I groaned and flopped on my bed. "Emmers." She repeated. I covered my head with a pillow.

" And I couldn't even say it-"

" Emily!" Melly shouted. I pulled the pillow off my head and sat up, she almost never called me Emily.

" What?"

" If it's really meant to be, it'll be serious, but fun." Melly said. " Whether or not you two can find that balance is the true measure of a relationship." She finished, laying down on her bed, pulling the covers over her head and falling asleep.

Leaving me with all my twisted, jumbled thoughts.

A/N please review, it's the only light in my pathitic little life.
