Plot; Let's just say Cameron didn't get paired with Hannah and Damian didn't get paired with Lindsay, but Damian and Cameron got paired together…
Cameron had been thinking about it for a while. He'd gone over all his options and he couldn't watch someone go who wanted to be there, who wanted to win.
Unlike him.
He stood and walked onto the stage for his Last Chance Performance, yes he was about to quit but he was going to do it in style, beside 'Blackbird' meant allot to him; he was going to sing it.
He shuffled onto the stage and looked out letting his eyes adjust to the lights that where shining directly at him, he was up against Damian – his best friend, his Irish Brother and Alex. They both deserved to go through, they both needed to be in the final.
Cameron closed his eyes thinking intensely as he sang, every word he meant,
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Cameron gulped then looked at Ryan sat before him, a man of genius, a man of pure talent how could he easily quit before him.
Which is why he began explaining to him, skirting around actually saying the words 'I Quit' because it wasn't quitting, he was standing up for what he believed in. He had to do it, for his morals.
"Wait are you quitting?" Ryan asked that question hit Cameron like a football; he began stuttering trying to work around the question but came up with nothing.
Cameron got sent back to his rehearsal room to think he'd done his thinking, man he'd thought until he was up all night sitting in the Boys Dorm thinking to himself 'Why am I here?'
He doesn't regret it mind you; he'll never regret the experience, which made him more confident with his acting, made him feel unique but part of a group.
He'll never regret meeting Damian.
He loved the guy, he'll admit it, he'd told him many times, he loved the guy and if Damian had gone, left Cameron alone in the Glee Project Cameron would regret missing his chance to tell them that he wanted to leave.
"You've just saved Damian" Ryan said and relief fell over Cameron, an unbelievable amount of relief. He'd given Damian his shot, his chance – that dude will owe him!
Cameron went in to tell the remaining contestants. It was harder than he thought, just seeing each of them break down, one by one, except Damian, he didn't cry, he didn't show emotion - he looked blue, Cameron will give him that, but he was numb. Cameron knew that.
He hugged Damian tightly whispering 'Goodbye and Good Luck' in his ear then left, before it was too much. He walked towards the Call Back sheet.
Feeling the relief as he crossed out Damian and wrote his own name.
He looked at it for a little while letting it sink in then turned to walk away.
Damian couldn't believe it, Cameron had, had quit. Had left. Had given him his chance at winning the competition. Man Damian will owe this boy until the end of his career.
But he wanted to know why. He had to know why. So he ran after him.
"Cameron!" he called, "CAMERON" he called again
"ROBERT CAMERON MITCHELL!" the strong Irish accent called out making the lanky blonde boy turn around.
"Damian, first name, really?" Cameron whined.
"You didn't tell me why you're leaving" Damian said walking towards him, "Why didn't you tell me?" he was now in front of the blonde boy looking up at him.
Cameron sighed and grabbed Damian's arms connecting their lips quickly and chaste.
"That doesn't tell me why you're leaving" Damian said looking up at Cameron with a need in his eyes. Cameron sighed.
"I'm not leaving because you kissed me" Cameron clarified. "I'm leaving; I'm leaving because I'm done. I don't want to be here anymore, not when all the rest of you guys WANT to win, want to be here. I don't deserve to just sail through." Cameron began explaining softly to the younger Irish boy.
Damian sniffed.
"We'll see each other again, there's no doubt about that, we'll re-launch CDTV, we'll I don't know, we'll get an apartment together" Cameron said with a wink, Damian laughed then hugged Cameron.
"And beside dude, you owe me" Cameron said making Damian chuckle.
"Don't think this is good-bye my little pot of gold" Cameron said then kissed Damian's nose, he then left.
Turning back briefly to wave at him.
Damian dropped his head watching his best friend leave. Damian had to do it for Cameron; he had to win for Cameron.
He'd win for Cameron.
