Chapter 30

The contestants spent the day recording their studio versions of their songs: that week everyone made the best that they could for theirs song, after all, it was for charity.

Bridge tried to do even more then the best. That had to be perfect. Not only for the charity show, also because he dedicated his song to two special man: his father Mike, first, and, of course, Sky, his newfound brother-lover. He should have sung his song in another way, but he wanted it clear for Sky to understand it was for him, as a sign for thanking him.

They also had to play their little music video and, that week, they totally had the time of their live shooting it. They were brought in a big parking place were the director was waiting for them with buckets full of paint "who wants to get dirty?"

And, with that, their clothes were covered in paint for the video. It was a simple video, but a lot funny to shoot: while Z and Sid and to drive in the car, the others had to throw the paint in the centre of the parking lot.

What Bridge wouldn't expect happened in the evening. While he was humming his song in his room, Sky appeared from nowhere making him scream. As the big man laughed, Bridge flushed embarrassed

"I'm sorry I didn't want to scare you… how are you doing?"

While he was talking, he started rubbing the boy's back "I'm ok… I think… are you ok?" he said turning around and looking at the man. He looked sad. Sky sighed "yeah I am. But I have to tell you something… but I've never been good with words so I don't know how to say it…"

The boy nodded for him to continue and they both set on the bed "the time we spent together has been the best of my life… I was happy with Ryan, but not this much. I know I'm a lot older then you, but… I want to consider you as my boyfriend… if you want…"

Bridge's eyes grew wide. Boyfriend? That was big. He almost didn't even know what that even meant. He thought about it for a moment, but nothing came out from his month when he tried to speak. Sky understood it and nodded sadly "I'm sorry… I didn't have to ask for it… forget everything we said…"

He stood up and rushed out of the room slamming the door on his way. Bridge looked at the door for a moment and then he started to cry: he wanted to say yes to Sky, but he didn't and he didn't know why. He hoped that his song the next day would help him, or he was going to lose the man.

In another part of the city, at the studios to be exact, someone was set in front of a computer working on the studio versions of that week's theme. That week something was added to the results: the number of songs sold on ITunes was going to be added to the votes.

So the person only had to ruin one version of those songs to see a certain little boy out of the competition. Hopefully…

The studio was dark except for a small light on the stage, were Ryan Seacrest appeared "Last year, our Idol Give Back Special raised un impressed amount of money, more than the year back. This year we want to break that score. We will be able to do that? remember, tonight your votes will save life. This is Idol Give Back!"

I know is short, but it introduces some of the dramas for the next chapters! Will Bridge be able to answer Sky's question? And who is the one who is ruining the studio's versions of the songs? will his or her plan succeed? Who will leave the competition? All the answers are in the next few chapters!! Stay tune for the next chapter. Later!
