CHAPTER 14

Kayla and Shannon made their way to the front of the stage as the band mates prepared for the 2nd half of their performance that night.

"Okay, everybody," Jake said stepping up to the microphone. "We're gonna start the next part of our show here for you tonight. But before we do, I'm gona give a little history lesson to you. We have 2 different individuals taking over the guitar and bass duties for the next two songs. These two guys used to play with us a long time ago, when we first started as a garage band. Unfortunately, they left the band after one of them moved away from town. But, he moved back to Boston and is going to jam with us along with his buddy.

So, now let me introduce to you 2 of the coolest dudes you will ever meet. On the bass guitar to my left. Mr. Seth Rollins!"

Seth stepped forward and gave a little bow to the crowd. He spotted Shannon in the crowd and blew a kiss to her.

"Whoa. Who's eye are you catching in the crowd there, Sethie?" Jake asked.

"That would be my wife, Shannon Rollins."

"Oh, how wonderful. You must really love her, huh?"

"I adore her."

"Love is a wonderful thing. And now to my right, on electric guitar. Let's welcome back to Boston, Mr. Dean Ambrose!"

The crowd applauded and he stepped forward and waved. He caught Kayla's eyes staring at him from the front of the stage and gave a little wink, which she returned happily.

"So, tell me, Dean. Are you married yet?"

"No." Some of the girls in the audience threw whistles his direction. "Sorry, ladies. Just because I'm not married doesn't mean a lady hasn't already claimed my heart. You're just too late."

"So, you do have a love interest. Care to share her name?"

"Miss. Kayla Greene."

"Welcome, Shannon and Kayla. We are glad you could be here tonight. And now, we are going to start the 2nd half with a classic 80's rock ballad. But before we do, Seth, are you ready?"

Seth answered with the opening bass line to Bon Jovi's 'Living On A Prayer'.

"Nice. How about you, Dean? Are you ready?"

Dean's fingers strummed the opening notes to Skillet's 'Monster'.

"I'll take that as a yes. Okay, guys. Let's do this."

The keyboards began to play the opening notes of Bad English's power ballad 'When I See You Smile'.

Verse 1

Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through

Through this world without having you. I just wouldn't have a clue.

'Cause sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me.

And there's no way of breaking free. And then I see you reach for me.

Sometimes I wanna give up, wanna give in, wanna quit the fight.

And then I see you baby, and everything's alright, everything's alright.

Chorus

When I see you smile, I can face the world, Oh, oh.

You know I can do anything.

When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, oh, oh.

I see it shining right through the rain.

When I see you smile, baby, when I see you smile at me.

Oh yeah.

Verse 2

Baby's there's nothing in this world that could ever do

What the touch of your hand can do. It's like nothing that I ever knew. Hey.

And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it cause you're here with me now.

And one look at you baby, is all I'll ever need, all I'll ever need.

Chorus

When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh, oh.

You know I can do anything.

When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, oh, oh.

I see you shining right through the rain.

When I see you smile, baby when I see you smile at me.

Bridge

Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight.

Then one look at you baby and everything's alright.

Hey, everything's alright. It's alright!

The crowd cheered as Dean ripped into the guitar solo. Kayla watched as Dean played the notes to perfection. It was like she said. Just like Jimi Hendrix.

Chorus

When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh. oh.

You know I can do anything.

When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, oh, oh.

I see you shining right through the rain. Yeah.

When I see you smile, I can face the world, oh, oh.

You know I can do anything now.

When I see you smile, oh yeah. Baby when I see you smile.

Smile at me.
