Stevie POV
"Hey Loserberry! A little birdy told me Loser 5 wouldn't be preforming in the talent show! Its nice to know that you guys finally know where you stand in this school." Molly said to me with an evil smirk. I just rolled my eyes and continued walking down the hallway with Zander.
"Oh Stevie!" She called.
"What Perfy?" I said annoyed.
"Say hi to your brother for me." There's that smirk again.
Well as you can imagine, I was mad. I charged at Molly, my hand already in a fist. But before I could give her a taste of her own medicine, Zander grabbed my arms and yanked me back.
"Zander what the heck!" I asked. He gave me the 'one second' finger and walked up to Molly.
"Molly, I know that you think you're so cool and pretty and blah blah blah. And you know what? You are! But no amount of prettiness could ever make up for the fact that you are a heartless little witch!" Zander screamed in her face then walked back to me, leaving a shocked Molly standing in the middle of the hallway. Scratch that, I shocked student body. As he pulled me away I looked back to see Grace give Zander and I a big thumbs up. It made me chuckle. Even Grace agreed with Zander.
"Hey Z," I said once we had gotten to the band room, "Thanks."
"Oh believe me; you have no idea how long I have wanted to say that. It felt so good." He said with a wide grin.
"I bet." I said with a slight chuckle.
"Hey, don't let Kacey's irrationalness get to you. She just doesn't like when she doesn't get to be the star." He said with concern.
"I know."
"So you wanna rehearse your song again? Talent Show is tomorrow."
"Okay."
He started strumming and she started singing. Neither of them even noticed Kacey Kevin and Nelson standing behind the door, listening to every word.
"Wow. She is amazing." Nelson said.
"Yeah, who knew Stevie could sing like that?" Kevin agreed.
"I sure didn't. Now I feel terrible for throwing such a fit." Kacey looked down ashamed.
"Why don't you tell her that?" Nelson said as Kevin pulled Kacey in for a hug.
"Maybe I will." She said.
THE NEXT DAY; TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE TALENT SHOW
"Zander I think I'm going to be sick." I said as I paced back and forth in the band room.
"Stevie you can do this. I know it."
"I've never performed in front of a crowd by myself before. What if I forget the words? What if I fall?" I began to have a panic attack.
"Steves," He said as he placed his hands on my shoulders, "look at me. You are going to do amazing. I believe in you."
I took a deep breath. "Okay."
"Come on, the shows about to start." He grabbed my hand and lead me out of the band room.
BACKSTAGE DURING ACT BEFORE STEVIE AND ZANDER
"Oh my gosh."
"What's wrong Steves?"
"My Mom, Dad, and brothers are sitting out there."
"I know. I invited them."
"What!? Are you insane!?"
"I thought they would want to see this."
The music ended and Zander picked up his guitar as Mr. March introduced us.
"It's time Steves. Let's do this." He kissed me on the cheek and I walked onto the stage.
We walked on stage. My stomach dropped as soon as I felt the bright lights hit me. I walked up to the microphone.
"Hi, I'm Stevie. Um, most of you know that there was a death in my family recently. So this song is for my brother Cory whom I miss more than anyone in the world." I glanced back at Zander. He mouthed to me 'You can do it.' I nodded, telling him to start playing.
Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
Voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know you're not here to say what you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I won't be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me
As soon as I finished that last note it was total and complete silence. But all of a sudden, something amazing happened. Every single person in that room stood up and clapped. Some even screamed. It was incredible. I felt Zander wrap his arm around my waist. I could just feel the giant grin he had on his face. I looked into the crowd to see my mom in tears and my dad whistling. My brothers soon ran onto the stage and pulled me into a big hug. This was the best feeling ever. And I owe it all to Zander. Without him, I wouldn't have had the courage to get up on this stage and sing my heart out.
