So, it's time for what everyone was waiting for: Nina's song! I know everyone probably thought I'd choose Cold as You or Forever and Always, and/or Haunted. But I found the one I chose the most accurate one for their situation. (I meant Nina/Fabian relationship.) And also, the song that Alfie sang was from Victorious, called Broken Glass. I wish I made it up, though. =)
Nina
I took a deep breath, but that didn't help. I felt sick, like I would collapse as soon as I got on that stage. But, I needed to sing the song, so I could get him out of my system. I shakily rose, yanked on my skirt, and wobbled up to the stage.
"Um, I'm Nina, obviously," I nervously laughed. "Anyway, I'm going to be singing an original song." I took a deep breath, and nodded to the musicians. (I decided not to play my guitar.) The first few bars started, and I literally almost threw up from my nervousness, especially since the inspiration for the song was behind the stage and listening. But, I managed to start singing when it was my turn:
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing,
The smiles, the flowers, everything,
Is gone.
Yesterday I found out about you,
Even now just looking at you,
Feels wrong.
You say, that you'd take it all back,
Given one chance, it was a moment of weakness,
And you said yes.
I took a deep breath, and smiled. I was getting into the song, and was forgetting about the people staring at me.
You should've said no,
You should've gone home,
You should have thought twice before you let it all go.
You should've known that word about what you did with her would get back to me.
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind,
Shouldn't be asking myself why,
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet,
You should've said no,
Baby and you might still have me.
Was it just me, or was Fabian staring at me guiltily? I was really into the song now, totally forgetting I was performing in front of people.
You can see that I've been cryin',
Baby you know all the right things,
To say.
But do you, honestly,
Expect me, to believe,
We could ever be the same.
You say, that the past is the past,
You need one chance, it was a moment of weakness,
And you said yes.
I pointed at the crowd, and slowly lowered my hand. Was it just me, or was the music producer looking at me happily?
You should've said no,
You should've gone home,
You should have thought twice before you let it all go.
You should've known that word about what you did with her would get back to me.
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind,
Shouldn't be asking myself why,
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet,
You should've said no
Baby and you might still have me..
I can't resist,
Before you go tell me this,
Was it worth it,
Was she worth this.
No, no, no, no.
You should've said no,
You should've gone home,
You should have thought twice before you let it all go.
You should've known that word about what you did with her would get back to me.
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind,
Shouldn't be asking myself why,
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet,
You should've said no,
Baby and you might still have me…
I quickly walked off the stage, but not before slamming the microphone stand to the ground. I think that's going to become a running gag.
Mr. Winkler came up to the stage, and said, "Well, let's give it up for Nina!" Everyone clapped really loudly, and then, when they quieted down, Mr. Winkler introduced…Fabian.
He came up, and said, "I was originally planning on playing a song on the guitar, but instead I prepared a music video by yours truly." He pulled out a laptop and placed it onto a podium Mr. Winkler had put on. He pulled up a video, and clicked on it. An acoustic guitar started playing softly, and with a chill, I knew what it was before I even sang. He'd made a video of me singing the song to my brother.
It showed me, pale and shaking from fear, singing my heart out. It was obvious I'd been crying, and how relieved I was when Amber joined in. I saw the part where I hugged Fabian, and immediately met eyes with him. I wanted that again, but I was betrayed by him a lot. Could I trust him? At the end of the video, the words came up:
We love you, Nina. We're so sorry that we left you when you were needed most. Please, give us another chance.

After that, a more personal message:
Nina, I love you with my heart and soul. I feel lost without you. I was dumb, and I don't deserve you, but could we be friends?
Fabes
After that, the song While My Guitar Gently Weeps by the Beatles came on. Fabian sang, his eyes on me the whole time. Me, I was crying.
Sweet, huh? How do you want Nina to react?
