Frutti Music Bar…
"So are you guys ready for round two?" Roxy asked them as she handed them their smoothies.
"Yeah I think so. Flora wrote another amazing song." Layla said before drinking.
"That's great. Flora I never knew that you liked to write songs."
"Actually this is my first time. I'm just writing how I feel. They just so happen to fit well into songs."
Roxy gave her a comforting smile. She knew that those feelings were coming from Flora's break up with Helia.
"Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce the first band of the evening…THE SPECIALISTS!"
The crowd went wild as the boys walked up on stage. Flora kept her eyes on Helia. He was also staring at Flora.
"This song is another original from my man Helia."
(Candle by White Tie Affair)
I took a ride on a February morning,
Just getting over it and dealing with the mourning,
I started thinking out loud: I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired,
My baby's flying off the edge of the road,
She's saying, "I'm so sorry about that note",
That left me all alone,
But I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired
Somebody turn the lights on,
Somebody tell me what's wrong,
I'd be lying if I told you,
Losing you was something I could handle,
Somebody turn the lights on,
Somebody tell me how long,
All this darkness will surround you,
Cuz I'm burning for you,
Burning like a candle
Seven days since I've seen your face,
Seven nights I have laid to waste,
I'm burning out now,
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired,
I know we're hanging at the end of the road,
We've flown too high, make a swarm too low,
I heard a screaming out loud,
I heard a screaming out loud
Somebody turn the lights on,
Somebody tell me what's wrong,
I'd be lying if I told you,
Losing you was something I could handle,
Somebody turn the lights on,
Somebody tell me how long,
All this darkness will surround you,
Cuz I'm burning for you,
Burning like a candle
Think,
All the things that you say,
What are the things that you mean,
What are the things that you say to me,
Cuz your tradgedy,
A queen for his majesty,
All this blasphemy
Your kingdom is crumbling,
You're a tradgedy,
A queen for his majesty,
All this blasphemy
Your kingdom is crumbling,
Somebody turn the lights on,
Somebody tell me what's wrong,
I'd be lying if I told you,
Losing you was something I could handle,
Somebody turn the lights on,
Somebody tell me how long,
All this darkness will surround you,
Cuz I'm burning for you,
Burning like a candle
Burning for you,
Burning like a candle,
Burning for you,
Burning like a candle
The song finished and once again the crowd went wild.
"I can't believe how much the crowd loves them. They must really love Helia's song." Musa said a little worried.
"It's okay Musa. We have Flora." Layla put her arm around Flora.
"Weren't The Specialists amazing. What a song. Now for the next band, I give you KING OF ACES!"
Hunter and his band came out on stage, waving to the crowd. Hunter caught Flora's eye and winked at her. The Winx saw it and all stared at Flora making her blush.
(Love like Woe by The Ready Set)
(J-J-J-JR)
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
(I kinda feel like it don't make sense)
I'm thinking, baby, you and I are undeniable
But I'm finding out loves unreliable
I'm giving all I got to make you stay
Or am I just a roadblock in your way?
Cause you're a pretty little windstorm out on the boulevard
Something like a Sunset, oh you're a shooting star
And I might drive myself insane
If those lips aren't speaking my name
Cause I got some intuition,
Or maybe I'm superstitious
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction, you've got me on a mission
Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?
(How) could I say no?
She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girl's got a love like woe (ba-da-ba-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Love so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again
It's like a hurricane, speed train, she's a moving car
Catch her in the fast lane, oh I gotta know,
Can I keep up with her pace?
Kick it into gear when I see that face
You can take up all my time cause you're the only one
That can make a storm cloud break, pulling out the sun
And I can't get caught in the rain
Can I get your lips to speak my name?
Cause I got some intuition,
Or maybe I'm superstitious
But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down
To counter this addiction, you've got me on a mission
Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?
(How) could I say no?
She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girl's got a love like woe (ba-da-ba-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Love so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again
Cause we only have one life
The timing and the moment,
All seem so right
So would you say you're mine? (We'll be just fine)
Would you say you're mine? (We'll be just fine)
She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girl's got a love like woe (ba-da-ba-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Love so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again
She's got a love like woe
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Girl's got a love like woe (ba-da-ba-da)
I kinda feel like it don't make sense
Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again
Love so strong, then you moved on
Now I'm hung up in suspense,
Because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again!
King of Aces walked off stage. The crowd gave them a standing ovation.
"They were good also. This is going to be really tough." Tecna said.
"Hey Flora was it me or did Hunter just wink at you?" Stella asked.
Flora blushed. "Um…I don't know…maybe." She had to distract the girls before they asked any more questions. "Guys, I think we should go get ready. We are up next."
"Holy shit, you're right. Come on guys we need to go backstage." Musa ran ahead of the girls.
"Time for our last act of the night…THE WINX!"
The girls were about to walk on stage.
"Wait Flora. I need to change your outfit again." Stella waved her hand changing Flora's clothes.
Flora looked and saw that Stella put her in a white gown. It was strapless and came down mid thigh in the front. But in the back the gown flowed down to the floor. When she walked the gown flew around her.
"This is absolutely stunning Stella." Flora twirled around, letting the gown move.
"Yeah I know. Now go at get them."
The stage was all black except a spotlight on Flora. When she walked out in her white gown she heard the crowd gasp. She smiled she knew she looked good. She went to stand at the mic and looked out. She saw all the boys at a table, and next to Helia was the girl he was talking to the other night. All the nervousness left her when she saw them.
"I would like to thank my special friend for giving me inspiration for another song."
Helia watched Flora with his jaw dropped. She looked absolutely stunning in the white gown.
(Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch)
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,
Helia put his head down in shame. When he heard three years, he knew exactly that the song was for him.
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
The song ended and the spotlight faded on Flora with her head bowed. The crowd could not see but a single tear dropped to the floor. The girls all ran off stage. Engulfing Flora in a giant hug.
"That was amazing Flora. The crowd could feel your pain."
"Thanks Layla."
"Excuse me." The girls turned around and saw a deliveryman standing there.
"Yes may we help you?" Bloom answered.
"I have a delivery for a Ms. Flora."
"That's me." The deliveryman handed Flora two bouquets of roses. One was pink and the other was red.
"Oh my god Flora. Two bouquets! Who are they from? Do they have a card?"
Flora looked through the pink one first, there was a card.
My candle still burns for you.
Flora knew from the song that the boys sang that the pink roses were from Helia. Tears started to form. "What is his game? He breaks up with me, goes out with another girl, and then sends me this."
"Forget him, what does the other card say?" Layla asked.
Flora looked through the red roses and found another card.
Hope this helps start to put the pieces of your heart
back together.
Flora smiled. She knew it was from Hunter from their little talk the other day after the competition.
"So…do you know who it is from?" Stella asked.
"Yeah, I think it is from Hunter." Flora blushed. She almost matched the red roses.
"Oh my god. That is so sweet. He totally likes you."
"Oh Stella you don't know that."
"I have to agree with Stella on this one. Why else would he wink at you and then send you these flowers." Musa chimed.
"Maybe you guys are right. But it is still way to soon to think about other guys."
"Maybe not. If you went out with this Hunter guy then he might be able to take your mind off Helia."
"You might be right. We will see."
Thanks to everyone who is sending me song suggestions. I'm going to keep checking up on them.
