Cat paced nervously outside of Karaoke Dokie. She had no idea of what she was going to sing next. She didn't think she would have made it this far; let alone win the contest, but obviously people thought otherwise. She wanted to sing something from her heart, yet appealing to the crowd. She wanted people to dance and cheer for her just like in "Only Girl in the World". But what song could be any close to that?
"Why don't you just sing that one cover you did of Justin Bieber's song?" Tori piped in trying to give her best friend options. Not to mention, she thought Cat sang that song perfectly. Wait, that means if Tori really wanted to win this thing, she was going to have to step her game up.
"Yeah, you should. You sing it like an angel and it would make everyone jealous that they don't have your voice." Jade quickly added, so it would cover up the compliment she just gave her best friend. Cat turned around to face her two bestest friends in the world with a smile as bright as the sun on her face.
"Oh my gosh! That song is just the song I want to sing Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!" Cat squealed giving them a tight hug. She couldn't believe it. She just found the perfect song she was looking for. Plus, Beck, Robbie, and André said it was one of their favorites from the covers she's done. She could not wait to perform.
..
"So, Cat, what would you like to sing?" The MC asked the petite redhead. Cat is sitting on a stool close to the middle of the stage. She was a little more closer to the edge of the stage. Cat hopped off the stool then skipped off the stage and handed him a CD. He nodded in understanding that this was her spin on the music just like in "Only Girl in the World". He nodded after reading the name off the disc and she went back to her place on the stool. "Alrighty, guys. Here's Cat Valentine with Die in Your Arms!"
Cat closed her eyes clutching the microphone then opened them back up as the music started. "(Uh huh) Alright (Uh huh) Yea-a-ah (Yeah, yeah) O-o-oh (Alright) Mmhmm (Uh huh) Oo-oo-ooh (Yeah, yeah) Oh baby"Cat stood up from the stool and stepped to the edge to where her friends were sitting by. "Say You love me, as much as I love you-ooh, yeah"Cat pointed to her friends at this part. Then Cat clutched her heart feeling extremely nervous to sing this. Maybe it was because Beck was right in front of her, or maybe it was because it was her first time singing a love song in front of a hyped crowd.
"Would you hurt me baby, could you do that to me, Oh" Cat then kneeled down and lifted the chin of a boy around her age gazing at him with her brown orbs. Beck felt a small pang of jealously. Where was this coming from?
"Would you lie to me baby,
Cause the truth hurts so much more" The boy shook his head no at this line and Cat almost giggled because a boy, that was a complete stranger to her, just promised he would never lie to her. 'Aw, how sweet?' She thought to herself.
"Would you do the things that drive me crazy
Leave my heart still at the door,
Oh, I can't help it, I'm just selfish" Cat closed her eyes again letting the music take her away as she spun around and all her friends couldn't help, but smile and cheer her on. They were so proud of what an amazing singer she is.
"There's no way that I could share you!
That would break my heart to pieces" Cat spun around and sat back on the stool bringing it closer to the edge. She smiled brightly at the crowd and she just felt so loved once they 'whoo'ed at her.
"Honestly the truth is...
(Uh Huh) If I could just Dieee-aaaayyy in your arms(Uh huh)" Beck, Jade, Robbie, Tori, André, and even Trina cheered wildly once they heard how amazingly beautiful her voice and harmonies hummed together. The whole joint almost cheered wildly as well. Cat pointed at Beck flirtatiously for a moment, but stopped before she blushed wildly. Sure, she really, really liked him, but no one needed to know that.
"I wouldn't mind (Yeah, yeah)
Cause every time you touch me (Uh huh) I just
Dieee-aaaaayyy in your arms(Mhmm)
Ooh, it feels so right, (Yeah, yeah)
So baby, baby please don't stop, boy"She rose her hand in the air and Beck chuckled at her cuteness. Then Cat shrugged her shoulder and held out her hand as if she were trying to make a point.
"Ya know, they think the first time this is happenin' to me. This Love sick thing. I like serious relationships and a... a girl like me don't stay single for long." Jade and André chuckled at how true that was because Cat would always either have a boyfriend, take time to get over him depending on how bad he hurt her, or she would start dating someone. "Cause every time my boyfriend and I break up my world is crushed and I'm all alone. Then the love bug crawls right back up and bites me! And I'm back!
Oh, if there's a reason to call me a fool"The redhead stood back up and went back to singing as she put the mic back on the stand and held it close to her lips with both hands around the stand.
"Cause I love too hard Are there any rules, baby
If this is a lesson, baby teach me to behave!" A bunch of guys whistled or shouted at this parting yelling things like 'I'll teach you, baby' but Cat kept a grin on her face. She was loving the extra attention. Beck rolled his eyes not believing how these men were, but when he saw Cat his smile came back. She couldn't believe that this girl who never really tried out for rolls, because Jade or Tori or Trina would really want, was giving everyone who entered this competition a run for their money.
"Just tell me what I gotta do
Just to stay right next to you-ooh
Oh, I can't help it, I'm just selfish
There's no way that I could share you!
That would break my heart to pieces
Honestly the truth is..." Cat twirled around and took her place back on the stool reaching out to some of the cheering teens in the crowd. She felt so special to even have fans.
"If I could just Dieee-aaaayyy in your arms
I wouldn't mind
Cause every time you touch me I just
Dieee-aaaaayyy in your arms
Oh, it feels so right,
So baby, baby please don't stop, boy!" Cat stood back up and closed her eyes because these next lyrics were where her true feelings were. She really meant them with all her heart and now it was time to let them all out. She kept her eyes shut, not daring to look into his eyes, and put a hand over her chest to where her heart is supposed to be.
"Basically I'm sayin' here,
I can't live without my baby
Lovin' you ain't so damn easy for me"Tori, Jade, André, Beck, Robbie, and Trina gasped hearing Cat curse for the first time. They never heard her curse before.
"Ain't no need for contemplatin'
Promise you won't keep me waitin'
Tell me baby, I'm all that you NEEEEEED! Ohhhh, oooh" Cat opened her eyes to see everyone clap along as the beat slowed down.
"If I could just Dieee-aaaayyy in your arms (Mmhmm)
I wouldn't mind (Yeah, yeah)
Cause every time you touch me(Uh huh) I just
Dieee-aaaaayyy in your arms (Mhmm)Ooh it feels so right, (Yeah, yeah)
So baby, baby please don't stop, BOY!
If I could diiiiiieeeeeeeeee
[ imma make you believe boy]
I wouldn't mind
Aye, Aye, ooooh
Don't stop baby, no, no, aye
It's whatcha do to me, yeah
Woah, no no no no nooo
Oohh, If I could just dieee, ooh
Ooh, baby please don't go away
Nooooooo, nooo, nooo, no, no, no" Cat finished the whole joint erupted in applause. Cat squealed excitedly. "Thank you guys so much! I just want to say I love you to Beck, Jade, Tori, André, Robbie, and Trina. And, Tori, André, Jade, it doesn't matter who wins to me. I did this for fun, and I sure did have a lot of fun. Whoever wins, just no that I'm so happy and proud of you! Well, I love you, guys, goodnight!" Cat exclaimed adding the goodnight part like a rockstar would. She's always wanted to do that. She skipped off the stage and sat next to her friends with Haley and Tara glaring at her. Cat rolled her eyes and watched as everyone took out their phones to vote again, well, everyone except for Beck.
..
Cat, André, Jade, and Tori all stood on the stage waiting for the last person to vote. It was a tie again and one person's vote would choose the winner. Guess who the last voter is.
It's Beck.
Beck looked at Tori. If he voted for her, she would finally go out with him and there was no doubt that she would split the money and take him on the cruise with her. Beck stared at Jade next. She would finally get back together with him and maybe take him with her on the cruise. André. If he voted for André, it would earn him some extra friend points, split the money, and André would take him on the cruise as well. Cat. See, she was a hard one. Their friendship probably wouldn't change, she would probably spend all the money on silly little things, she would spend the whole ride looking for mermaids or nemo, so Cat winning wouldn't benefit him at all. BUT Cat was the only one who didn't take this silly contest to her head like the others. She just kept a smile on her face and sang her heart out. She didn't do this because she wanted to win. She did it because she wanted to.
She just wanted to have fun with her friends and all they did was fight and get all competitive. Beck bit his lip and looked to the others over and over again. Andre, Tori, and Jade would do so much with their prizes, but Cat wouldn't.
He shrugged and clicked Cat's icon on his phone anyways.
"Looks like our final voter, that handsome man over there," The owner of the builder pointed to Beck, "has finally voted in. And the winner is..." He took a dramatic pause and Jade rolled her eyes.
"JUST TELL US ALREADY!" Jade finally snapped.
He cowered in fear and then recovered. "The winner is... Cat Valentine!" Cat squealed cupping her mouth with her hands in shock as confetti fell around her. It was actually beautiful in Beck's eyes as he watched in awe. Cat couldn't believe that she had won. The MC came out with an oversized check in his hands that you would see on TV. They put a sash on her that read 'Karaoke Dokie Queen' and she squealed in delight. She couldn't contain her happiness and it was all because of Beck. Tori, Andre, and Jade looked down sadly, but saw the smile on the small redhead's face and they couldn't help, but feel happy for her. Tori ran up to her and squeezed her a tight hug. Robbie, Trina, and Beck walked up to the stage to congradulate her along with their other friends.
"Congrats, Cat!" Beck's phone went off and he read the message. "Oh, my parents want me home. I gotta go, bye." Beck awkwardly said and he walked out the building.
"Beck, wait, wait, wait, WAIT!" Cat yelled sprinting out the building and catching up to Beck walking on the street. Cat panted and Beck felt a large force push against his side and felt two arms wrap around his torso. 'Cat' He smiled to himself and peered down to the small girl his arms. "Thank you, Beck, SO much for voting for me." Cat breathed out burying her face into his chest. Beck chuckled lightly and squeezed her.
"Don't mention it, Cat. You really deserved to win." Cat sighed happily and buried her face deeper into his warmth. This was the best night ever.
Soo, how was it? Tell me in the reviews. Hope to hear from you soon!
