Sharon and Angela were getting ready for the Residue concert. Sharon had had a grin on her face since she returned from Shane's hotel room.
Angela was just as bad and kept looking at her engagement ring in awe.
"So like, you are going to leave it a while before you get hitched right?" asked Sharon.
Angela smiled at her friend at looked back to her ring. "Of course I am Sharon, it won't be for at least another 3 or 4 years, you know how I like to make Jordan wait"
Sharon smiled at her and hugged her. "I'm soooooooooooo happy for you Angela. You guys are perfect together!"
"Now all I have to figure out is how to tell my parents" she sighed. She hadn't thought that far ahead yet and realised that it wouldn't be an easy task.
"shit yea, good luck with that one" said Sharon seriously. Patty was hard work when it came to what was or wasn't best for Angela.
Angela looked at the phone and shrugged.
"I'll tell them after this vacation, I'm not having them put a downer on this perfect day"
"You ready Chase?" asked Sharon heading out of the room, she was eager to get to the concert.
"As ready as I'll ever be Sharon" she replied smiling. She wasn't referring to the concert, she was referring to the prospect of being Jordan Catalano's wife.
She smiled to herself and closed the hotel room door behind her.
The venue was packed solid. All around them were hoards of fans decked out in Residue T shirts and banners with things like- "MARRY ME JORDAN!!" and "RESIDUE RAWK" Sharon burst out laughing when she saw a banner saying-
"SHANE I'LL FEED YOU ANYTIME BABY!".
As they made their way to the VIP area of the arena they over heard some girls gushing about Jordan.
"He is SO HOT!!" screamed one girl as Angela walked past them, "yea" replied another "I'm going to hang on the barricade in the front, I hope he looks at me..Shit I wouldn't mind if Catalano spat on me..so long as I get something from him" she gushed.
Angela rolled her eyes and looked at the ring on her finger. "You can dream girls" She said to herself.."You can dream"
Angela and Sharon took to their seats, the lights dimmed and they could make out the vague shadows of the band on stage.
"WHAT'S UP ITALY" shouted Jordan, his fist raised to the crowd. The strobe lights started to flicker and Jordan started to sing.
Looking down into the water
Its hard to make out your face
If our love is drowning, then why
Do I feel so out of place?
Bubbling up to the surface
Are you getting a breath of fresh air?
Forever longing to make you mine
But I cant escape your stare...
Liquid seeps into your lungs
But your eyes look so serene
Its wonderful how the surface ripples
But youre perfect, and I cannot breathe
Forever longing to make you mine
But I cant escape your stare...
Hold me closer, keep me near
My underwater love
Hold me closer, keep me near
Ill never get enough
Touch me from below
Ill never let you go
But I cant escape
The crowd burst into applause as Jordan took a bow, Shane stood up with sweat pouring from his brow, his arms were killing him from the force on which he hit his drums but he didn't care. Adrenalin was pumping through his body.
Jordan looked up to the VIP seats and smiled. "This next song, is for my fiancee.."
The girls in the front row screamed out in dis-belief and agony as Jordan said the word "Fiancee" hundreds of dreams were shattered with that one word.
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
He looked to where Angela was sitting and waved. Angela was waving back, tears streaming down her eyes. He was perfect.
Residue played another 10 songs and the crowd lapped up every moment of them. Sharon had been dancing wildly all night and was close to dehydration.
"Oh man, they rule!!" she squealed. Angela laughed and looked at the band full of pride. "I always knew Jordan would make it" she smiled.
As the venue emptied , Angela and Sharon were taken past the awaiting groupies and led to the band's dressing room.
Jordan and Shane were sitting on a sofa drinking beers. When they saw the girls , huge smiles erupted on their face's.
"Hey baby" said Jordan as he pulled Angela into a kiss. "What did you think of us?" he asked.
"Jordan, that was awesome, you guy's really kicked ass up there" She answered proudly.
Shane was holding Sharon's hand. He looked at her sweating and smiled " wanna go for some fresh air?, you look as though you could do with some"
Sharon nodded and took a long gulp of Shane's beer. "Air would be good right now" she smiled as she squeezed his hand.
"Hey Guy's we're going for a walk, catch ya both later on" Shane was pulling Sharon towards the exit.
"Later's Shane, have fun bro" laughed Jordan, as he watched Sharon's head disappear out of the door.
Jordan took a long gulp of his beer and pulled Angela onto his lap.
"Alone at last" he smiled as he kissed her lightly on the neck.
