Chapter 15

The next day everybody was chilling around the house waiting for the producers to pick them up to go to the studio for the result show.

They discovered many things about each other during the previous night, making them starting to get close to one another.

They talked about Z's daughter, Wes's rebellion against his father's will, Cole's love for animals and, of course, Bridge's situation at home.

"Whoever doesn't see you as a friend is a jerk, trust me. I just can't see it, you're actually one of the best guy I ever met" Mack said to the boy without looking up from his adventure book.

That made Bridge smile. However, he actually wasn't feeling good with that. He knew that someday he will have to go home and, after the previous night, he was sure that day was coming quickly.

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

After the rehearsal for the night, they were now in their dressing room getting ready.

If they weren't thinking about this moment early, now it was a good moment to start panicking and, of course, Bridge was becoming almost crazy.

He couldn't help to think about his trouble with the piano. He was sure he played the right notes.

However, everything was now done. He couldn't turn back times. If only he could…

The 12 contestants met in the backstage before going on the stage. Adele, as the "mother" of the group, spoke "Guys, whoever is going home tonight, won't be disappointed. We will be together even if we are not all here. Right?"

"Yeah!" they all screamed and run on the stage. The show was about to begin. It was now they first moment of true.

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

A light was turned on in the studio, and Ryan appeared on millions of TV screen "The competition has just begun, and someone has to go home already. You voted for the one who have to leave. But who will he is? Let's find out! This is American Idol!"

As the many tune of the program was playing, the contestants took their place on the sofas on the right of the stage. Then Ryan appeared again smiling "Welcome to American Idol! Yesterday we had an amazing first night, the contestants showed what they can do, but one of them have to leave tonight. First off all, let's cheer for them!"

He pointed to them as the crowd went crazy "And, of course, our judges Randy, Paula and Simon!"

The three smiled at the camera. Ryan then went near them "let's see. Randy let's start with you. What you think about the top 12?"

The big man took a sip of his drink and spoke "I think they're the best we have had on this show. They're very different I already can picture what type of music could make them famous dawg!"

Ryan nodded "Paula?"

The woman took the microphone and said her part "I agree with Randy at all. We had an amazing night. Some of them shone, and you can already tell they want to win this competition badly."

Everybody cheered at that. "Simon?"

The British man thought for a moment, than spoke "It might be shocking, but I agree with them. I can also see three of them in the final"

Ryan smiled at that "Very good. They obviously love our top 12. Let's go on with the show. I would like to introduce to you our first guest of the season. She took the title of American Idol back in season 4. With her new single –Just a Dream-, ladies and gentleman miss Carrie Underwood!"

The camera focused on the stage, where Carrie and her band were located. As the group was playing the intro, Carrie looked at the Top 12 and smiled. Then she started singing.

It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in her shoe, something barrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand

Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the gun's rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Bridge looked at the other contestants. As he predicted, all the girls were crying at the song. What shocked him was that Sky was about to cry too. He didn't picture him as the type who could cry for a song. "Maybe this song means something for him…" he thought.

Carrie then sang softly the last part of the song

Oh,
Baby why'd you leave me
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah

The band finished the song and everybody stood up, Top 12 included. "Carrie Underwood ladies and gentleman!" Ryan said approaching the girl "What an amazing song. You made everyone cry, even Paula. You almost made Simon cry…"

Everybody laughed as the British rolled his eyes. "You want to say something to the Top 12?"

Carrie nodded "Yes. Just have fun. Live every day as is the last one, and if you have to go home, well that happen. But I can promise you that won't be the end of the World."

Ryan nodded "She's right. Thank you for being here for us. Let's cheer one more time for this amazing girl!"

The crowd stood up once again for the girl. "We take a quick break. When we come back, we will say good bye to one of the guys!"

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

When the commercial ended, the camera showed the contestants divided in 4 groups of 3: Maddy, Bridge and Mack in one; Ty, Syd and Wes in another; Kira, Ronny and Z in another; Sky, Adele and Cole in the last one. On the screen behind them a chart could be seen.

"Welcome back. We are about to see who will leave tonight. But first let me explain. I will say a number associated to one of this group and their name will appeared on this chart in the place where they are after this week's votes. We clear?"

The contestants nodded "OK. Let's begin with… group number 3: Kira Ronny and Z." Everybody was silent. After a moment, the three names come out on the screen

04 Z

05 Ronny

06 Kira

The three girls hugged themselves together "congratulation girls. You're safe have a seat"

They ran on the sofa. "Let's continue with… group number 2: Tyzonne, Syd and Wes. Let's see…" after a while again, the name popped out

04 Elizabeth

05 Veronica

06 Kira

07 Wesley

08 Sydney

09 Tyzonne

The three nodded. "They come so close America. That leaves us with two groups. Who will be the bottom 3? Let's see first who the top 3 is" Ryan pointed to the screen, and the three names come out

01 Adele

02 Shuyler

03 Cole

04 Elizabeth

05 Veronica

06 Kira

07 Wesley

08 Sydney

09 Tyzonne

The crowd went mad for them. Sky, however, looked worried at Bridge, who was now starting shacking. "Well America. You have voted. This is your bottom 3 for this week. Simon who do you think will leave us?"

The man looked at the three for a moment "it's not going to be Mack. So it's either Bridge or Madison"

Ryan nodded. "Let's send one of you back on the sofa. Let's see who the number 10 this week is"

The three turned to the screen with Mack in the middle with his arms on the others two shoulders

01 Adele

02 Shuyler

03 Cole

04 Elizabeth

05 Veronica

06 Kira

07 Wesley

08 Sydney

09 Tyzonne

10 MacKenzie

The boy sighed and hugged the other two. Then he went back on the sofa with the others. When he came to Sky, he whispered "don't worry. He will be fine"

Sky smiled at the guy. He hoped he was right.

Ryan then went in the middle of the two "These is your bottom two America. Either Madison or Bridge is going home. Good luck to you both."

The two nodded and took each other hand. "The person who leaves us tonight is…"

Everybody held his breath for a moment. Then, the name came out

01 Adele

02 Shuyler

03 Cole

04 Elizabeth

05 Veronica

06 Kira

07 Wesley

08 Sydney

09 Tyzonne

10 MacKenzie

11 Bridge

12 Madison

The girl smiled and nodded. She then turned to the boy near her who was crying mad and hugged him. She heard him whisper "I'm sorry…"

She grinned and said "I'm not. I'm happy actually"

Ryan then approached them "I'm sorry Madison you have to leave us tonight. Bridge you're safe go join the others"

The boy nodded and went to the others who cheered happy for him. Well, not everybody. Tyzonne wasn't pleased with the results.

Madison was smiling at the cheering crowd. "You haven't seen the last of me! So stay tune because Madison will be back again!"

Ryan smiled at the girl and then turned to the camera "We will see next week with the top 11. Now I leave the microphone to the beautiful Madison. Good night everybody!"

Maddy took the microphone and, once again, she sang her song for the last time. When she finished, the others went near her and hug her tightly.

She looked at Sky before hugging him. Then she whispered something to him that made him smile. Bridge saw that, and he wrote a mental note to ask the guy later what she said to him.

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

Later that night, the remaining contestants went back to the mansion after a night out. They found a card for them pinned on the front door.

Syd took it and they went inside, were the girl read laud what the card said

Congratulation Top 11!

You now will move to the next round

We want to see your romantic side this week.

The next theme will be love songs.

Pick one song and be ready for the next live show

The producers

Syd looked up with dreamy eyes. Everybody laughed at her. This was going to be a perfect week for her.

RIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRIRI

And then there were 11! Maddy is gone sigh. Anyway, what do you think of the story so far? What Madison has whispered to Sky? Stay tune to find out.

By the way, you can suggest a song that you like for whoever you want! I'll see if that isn't in contrast with the story.
