Chapter 36
That night bridge and Sky were in the same bed cuddling. Bridge had his head on the man's chest and was thinking about early that day, when Sky sang Always be my Baby and declared his love for him but, most of all, he was thinking about his response to him: a simple thank you. What the hell he was thinking about?? Someone declared his love for him and he could only say thank you?
Sky felt the boy becoming nervous and looked at him "what wrong?"
The boy shook his head "nothing… just thinking about the results…"
Sky nodded but he knew what the boy was thinking about "you don't have to worry about nothing… you will learn to understand that you have nothing to worry about and all will be perfect" Bridge looked at the man and smiled weakly: he knew what Sky was referring to. He was happy to have such an amazing boyfriend near him, and he knew nothing would tear them apart…
The next day, at the same hour like every week, Ryan Seacrest appeared on millions of TV's screens for the result show "good evening America and welcome to another result show for this season. Tonight we will say goodbye to one of the remaining contestants and, let me tell you, you won't believe the results tonight" the crowd looked shocked about that "first of all, let's say hi to Randy, Paula and Simon"
The public cheered for the three smiling judges "last night's theme was the music of the legendary Mariah Carey, and here tonight your top 7 with miss Carey singing Hero!"
The crowd cheered for the gorgeous woman in the middle of the stage surrounded by the contestants
There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
and the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.
yeah yeah
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.
oh....Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Just Hold on, there will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way
With that, everybody on the stage started singing together. Bridge looked at Sky and smiled: it looks like he was singing the song to him
And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
and you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you
that a hero lies in ... you
mmmm that a hero lies in.....you.
When they finished singing, everybody in the studio was on his feet to cheer for the eight of them. Bridge looked around him and saw the three remaining girls crying as Sky put an arm around his shoulders and took him in a hug "ladies and gentleman, your top 7 and Mariah Carey! I'm sorry Mariah but I have to give out the result for this week. Would you like to say something to the guys before you go?"
She nodded "just don't worry, nothing will finish tonight. You're all amazing and you will have a fantastic career. Good luck!" she waved at them and went out of the stage. The 7 contestant remained on the stage and waited for the results "let's begin with… Adele. You've sang –my all- the judges said that it was your worst performance by far and Simon added that you could be in trouble tonight after that. Did you regret choosing that song?"
She shook her head "No. I've chosen it because it has a powerful meaning: the fact that you could give everything you have just to spend one night with the person you love amaze me" Ryan nodded "Adele please step here on the right"
As the woman went to her place, Ryan called out the next "Tyzonn, you went with –open arms- the judges said that you came out strong in the right moment of the competition and that ballads are you strength. After the nation's votes can you begin a group on my left?"
The blond nodded and went to his place "Elizabeth, you've chosen –without you- they say it was good but couldn't decided if the lower register or the high one wasn't good for you. They also added that you personality couldn't hold it. Can you join Ty sweetheart?"
She smiled at the host and joined the blonde on the left "Cole you decided to sing – I don't wanna cry- randy said it felt like he was at a luau on the beach, while paula and simon said that it was very original and different. You have to join adele buddy"
He went near the woman and hugged her "Sydney you've sang –touch my body- the three said that you injected you sassiness in it and made it fantastic, making it your best performance so far. Your place for tonight is near Tyzonn and Elizabeth dear"
She hugged Bridge and Sky and went near the two "Sky you sang –always be my baby- the judges were stunned by your performance and said that between the remaining contestants you're the one ready to make an album right now. Go join Adele and Cole"
Sky looked a t the boy near him smiling and walked to his place "that leave us with little Bridge America. You've chosen –it's like that- the judges declared that it was fun for once seeing you under a different light. After the nation's wide votes, you're safe"
The boy sighed heavily and smiled "where should I go Ryan?" the host looked at him "now, I have to ask you to join the group that you think you're safe" the boy paled as he looked around him, seeing people that signed to him to go ether left or right. His friends were both divided into the two groups, but one of them of the big triad, the untouchable like he called them. So, he looked at Syd and mouthed "I'm sorry" and went near Sky, Cole and Adele.
Ryan went near him and put a hand on his shoulder "I've told you to join the group that you think you're safe. I'm sorry but you've chosen the wrong one. Adele, Sky and Cole you are the bottom 3 tonight America"
Everybody looked shocked as the three of them made their way in the centre of the stage "Simon any comments about this?"
The british sighed "I don't know If you remember but is season 3 we saw the same thing when the three top singers were one by one eliminated from the competition. Even if it wasn't the best night for all of you, I actually thought you three were the top 3 of this season. I'm really disappointed about the results"
The host nodded "the first one safe tonight is… Adele" the woman started crying as she hugged the other two and went on the sofa. Bridge and Sid looked worried at each other: even though Cole was there, they were more scared of loosing Sky was eating them "Sky and Cole, your bottom 2 America: one is safe, one is going home tonight. And that person that is leaving us and the chance of becoming the next American Idol is… Cole Evans" the man nodded as everybody looked shocked and bowed. As the two hugged, everybody went near them as well as paula, who was in tears "that's it for tonight. Stay tune for next week when the top 6 will battle it out and we will start making them sing twice! Good night"
That evening at the mansion Bridge couldn't let go sky as he was crying softy in the man's chest "Bridge relax… I'm not going anywere…" the boy looked up with watery eyes at the man and nodded. They walked in the dining room and spotted the card from the producers. Bridge went to pick it up and paled as he saw what was written on it "oh my God…" Sid and Adele looked worried at him as he started reading
Congratulation! You've reached the top 6!
As Ryan said you're going to sing twice next week so prepare because things are getting harder than ever
Next week theme is Rock Music
Chose wisely
