Chapter 34

Bridge was humming his song he's selected for Mariah's week, not aware that the others were watching him grinning. When he turned around, he screamed surprised "are you really going to sing that song?"

He nodded "yeah, you know… it's different…"

Sky set near him and whispered into his ear "are you ready for today?" he smiled at the man and got up running out of the room. Sky looked at the others "Have a good day guys. We're going out"

When he was out of reach, Sid spoke "they're so in love…" Adele and Z looked at her and just nodded, making the other sighing.

Sky decided to bring Bridge to the fair near the beach; it wasn't much and he knew it but, after all, they were on American Idol, meaning that they couldn't go that far from the house alone, and that was the only place available at the moment I'm sorry Bridge but this is all I came up with…"

The boy shook his head smiling widely are you kidding?? This is the best! I've never been to one of this!"

He took the man's hand and drag him to the first stand, looking at the exposed things like a baby and asking Sky if he could bought them like… well… a real baby.

They turned a corner and stopped in front if a big banner on the roof of a palace: there were the 12 faces of the contestants, with a mark on the eliminated one, and under them were written WHO WILL BE THE WINNER?

Sky smiled "we all know who will be. Bridge you will win for sure."

The boy looked at him shocked "are you crazy? You will be the one who will win"

"Let's make a bet shell we? We will record a duet for our debut albums. The winner will have it on it. Ok?"

Bridge thought about it for a moment, than he shook the man's hand to sign the pact "ok! It sounds good to me!"

After hours of winning teddy bears for the boy, Sky decided it was time to have a break to eat something. Bridge agreed with him, and they both headed to the beach to eat two of the biggest hot dogs they've ever seen "I don't know if I'll be able to eat this thing… it's huge"

Sky laughed hard at that "Bridge… you could have bought a smaller one you know…"

He blushed "I know… it's just…"

Sky looked at the boy. He was so cute when he blushed. He was in love with him. But he knew it was too early to say it, and Bridge was only 17. How can you say something that big to a boy almost 10 years younger than you?

He thought about it for long, actually. The only thing he came up with was singing it to him. And that week theme helped him a lot: Mariah had written amazing love songs, he only had to choose one of them carefully "Bridge we have to go back…"

The boy nodded and they stood up. Bridge was surprised by Sky kissing him "Sky… what…" "Just wanted to it… who cares if we aren't alone?"

Bridge smiled tenderly at him "thanks for today Sky… I've been really good"

"No worry… it was a pleasure"

They walked in silence to the car. There was no need to speak: they both know what to do with each other without wasting words. When they arrived back to the mansion, Sky run to their room with the stuff they've bought. He came back 5 minutes later with his acoustic guitar.

They walked to the music room where they found the other 5 contestants with Miss Mariah Carey in person, smiling at both of them "you must be Sky and Bridge I suppose. It's a pleasure to meet you"

They nodded smiling "pleasure is ours. I'm sky and this is bridge. Sorry for being late…"

The woman shook her head "don't worry, I've just arrived. The producers told me the songs you're going to sing. I'm actually surprised" she added smiling at the group "first of all, I want you to know don't be scared to sing today, let's pretend we're old friends who got together to remember all times together shell we?"

The group laughed with her. Bridge saw Sid looking at her as she mouthed to him "how the date went?"

He only gave her a thumb up smiling, and the girl grinned at him. As they went in the room one by one to rehearse in front of Mariah, the girls approached Bridge and bombarded him with questions "so? Talk Bridge! We want to know everything!"

The boy laughed at them "well, we went to the fair in town. It was amazing! And Sky was amazing… I have a room full of teddy bears that prove it…"

The three sighed dreamy at it as bridge grinned at them. TY, however, wasn't thrilled with it: he should have been the one out with Sky, not that suckling. He stood up and walked out of the room to fight the urge to strangle the boy in front of the others.

Sky then came out of the room "guys we have to rehearse the group song with Mariah. Came in"

They run into the room and Sky put his arms on Sid and Bridge's shoulders. They turned to the man and smiled: they were a great group.

Almost a family…
