Chapter 40

After weeks of singing non-stop, the contestants finally had some free time. Everybody decided to go shopping, and Bridge entered the first bookstore he saw in the huge mall: besides singing, reading was the other thing he loved to do.

He stopped and took one of the books and started reading and he didn't hear someone approaching him till the man wrapped his arms around the boy, making him scream. When he turned around, he found himself looking into Sky's deep blue eyes "what are you reading?"

Bridge flushed read as he handed the book to his boyfriend shyly "-Twilight? - I didn't picture you as a Cullen-Swan fan Bridge…"

He shook his head quickly "no… yeah… I mean…" "Oh I got it…. You love this story…. You're so romantic" sky said giving him a quick kiss, making him blush even harder "You know the band that played the main song of the soundtrack? They will be here tonight"

The boy turned quickly to the man smiling "seriously?? I love them! Move Sky we have to go to the studio and meet them!!" Bridge said taking the man's hand and dragged him out of the store laughing…

Ryan appeared smiling as always on the stage "good evening America! We're getting close to the finale of this amazing season. Tonight we have to say good bye to two of the remaining six contestants. But first let say hi to the three judges: Randy, Paula and Simon"

The three smiled at the cheering audience around them "as you know, randy, we have to eliminate two of them tonight. Who do you think will be?" the producer sighed "you know Ryan, it's hard to say because this is the best top 6 we ever had on this show. All of them could now be in the finale. But if I have to say it based on last night, my guess are Bridge and Elizabeth" the boy, hearing that, held his breath for a moment. Sky and Sid, set near him on the sofa, looked at him worried. Ryan nodded at Randy's words "we will see about it in a moment. Now, let's introduce our guests. I think you know what Twilight is and all its amazing success he had, don't you? Here's to perform the main song of the soundtrack, here's Paramore with Decode!"

The crowd cheered as the band started playing the song. Hayley Williams, the singer, looked around smiling

How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win your losing fight
All the time.

Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride.
No, not this time...
Not this time...

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well.
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know.

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue.
Just boiling in my blood.
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are,
If you're a man at all.
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own.
(I'm screaming, "I love you so.")
On my own.
(My thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah.
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know.

Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves.
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools
Of ourselves.

Yeah. Yeah.

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah.
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well.
I think I know.
I think I know.

There is something I see in you.
It might kill me.
I want it to be true.

Everybody in the studio stood up and cheered for the band "Thank you guys. Let's now begin with the results. One more thing, from this week on there won't be the bottom 3 or 2 anymore right? Let's begin with Elizabeth. Come here darling" Z stood up and went in the centre of the stage near Ryan "your first song was –cry baby- Paula said that bluesy rock is your genre, but all three said that it wasn't the right song to picture it. The second song was –knocking on heaven's door- again, the judges said it was just a good version of it. Z after the nation's vote, I'm sorry, but you're going home tonight"

Z nodded as the crowd stood up for her "Elizabeth Delgado America! Stay here with me Z, we still have one of them to send home. Next I want here Tyzonn" the blond stood up and went in the centre of the stage "your first choice was – hemorrhage- the three agreed that the acoustic arrangement you've made of the song was very good for you. The second was – nothing else matter- again, they said it was very good, but Simon finished by saying that it was just a copy of the first one. After the nation's vote, Ty, you're in the top 4"

The boy smiled and went to get set on the stools "next I want Sidney" the girl jumped up and run in the centre of the stage, but first she stopped to hug Z "I'm sorry…" Z smiled at her and they both turned to Ryan "your choices were –I love rock 'n' roll- where the judges said that you've totally changed from the previous weeks and they loved the sassiness you've put in it, and –nothing compares to you- where Simon even said that he would like to see you in the finale of the competition. Will he be right? I don't know but, for now, you're in the top 4" the girl screamed happily and ran to the stools.

"that means America that one contestant among Sky, Bridge or Adele is out of the competition. Let's call Sky here" the man stood up slowly and walked near Ryan, not without looking back at Bridge, who was hugging Adele "First you've sang –Enjoy the silence- I can summarize what they said with remembering that Randy stood up to cheer with the audience" sky smirked at that "second you went with –you shook me all night long- everybody agreed that it was a powerful performance, even if you didn't built something different to it as you always do. Sky, after the votes, even you're in the top 4" "SCORE!" sky shouted and run to the stools hugging Sid.

Bridge and Adele walked in the centre of the stage hand in hand. The woman looked at the boy and whispered "don't worry… you won't go anywhere" Bridge looked at her shocked and they both turned to Ryan "Bridge and Adele, one of you is in, the other is leaving us tonight. Let's begin with Adele. The first song was -wish you were here- Paula and Randy said you were fantastic, and Simon added we wanted to kiss you after that performance…" the British laughed hard with everybody "anyway, the second song was –purple rain- the three agreed in saying that you're already a world class singer, and you don't need this competition anymore. Dear Bridge, you've chosen –boulevard of broken dreams- the judges said you've started good, and then you ruined the song at the end by playing the piano. Then they've changed their mind and agreed with saying that you got back in the competition with your rendition of –always- Adele, America has decided… that this is the end of the road for you I'm sorry"

The woman nodded as the three judges stood up for both her and Elizabeth "this is it America. We're now down to four and the competition is coming to an end. Tune in next week for the next live show. Thanks to everybody for watching the show. Goodnight!"

"I can't believe they're gone…" Sid said sadly while hugging both Sky and Bridge. The guys nodded "yeah, but you know… everybody has to go in a moment of the competition, next could be one of us you know…" Sky said as the other two looked at him shocked. He was right actually.

"guys… sorry to disturb but here is the next week theme" Ty said entering the room

Good job to 4. Now we will give you the coronation song of this season, because all of you have to edit your own version of it.

For next week theme we've decided to make things harder than they ever been.

Next week is Disco week.

Good luck

Sky, Sid and Bridge looked at each other paling. Disco will be hard. And, as Sky said, everybody could go home now. Meanwhile, Ty went out of the room and went straight in his room. He took out a bottle of pills from a drawer and sighed "time to play…"

+-+-+

It's disco week! As always you can choose the song, just remember they will sing twice. And who will leave the competition? And what about Ty? What will he do? Stay tune to find out!!! I know that some of you won't like it, littlbrat and emopricess will kill me…
