Chapter 43

Sid stormed in the green room hoping to find Sky alone. She found the man with his head buried in his hands. She went near him and slapped him hard on the head "ouch! Sid, what the…" "Don't you dare! How could you! You knew Bridge loves you…"

The man sighed "it's not what you think it is Sidney…" "Then tell me what it is!"

Sky looked at her with watery eyes. If Bridge wouldn't listen to him, at least he could hope Sidney could make a sense into the boy's mind…

"Welcome back to American Idol! We still have a second round to go on with. So let's start! With –Relight My Fire- here's Ty!" Ryan said smiling and pointing to the big screen, wich opened slowly to reveal the blond boy behind it

You gotta be strong enough to walk on through the night
There's a new day on the other side
you gotta have hope in your soul, just keep on walkin'

Help me escape this feelin' of insecurity
I need you so much but I don't think you really need me
But if we all stand up in the name of love
And state the case of what we're dreamin' of
I've got to say I only dream of you
But like a thief in the night you took away the love that I knew

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need your love

You gotta be strong enough to walk on through the night
There's a new day on the other side
you gotta have hope in your soul, just keep on walkin'

Relight my fire, your love is my only desire
Relight my fire cos I need

I need your love…

As the music ended, Ty smiled at the crowd and went in front of the judges for the verdict. Randy was the first one to talk "Ty! You raised the bar with that song. It was far better than the first song. You looked much more in your comfort zone with that. Good job"

Ty nodded and turned to the smiling Paula "randy is right: you looked so much happier with this song. And it looked like you mixed the original version with the Take That one. It sounded very very good. It could be your firs single for me"

"Wow! Thank you so much Paula!" he finally looked at Simon "You're back in the competition with that song. And I can say see you next week"

The boy smiled at him part of the plan is done… now is done to the public "if you want to vote for Ty call 1-866-IDOL- 01 or 05 or if you want to text a message send it to 5701. This boy has done for tonight. Now, we have two songs mixed up together in one performance. With a medley of ABBA's –Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!- and Madonna –Hung Up- here's Sidney once again!"

The crowd stood up to dance as the girl came down from the stairs smiling

Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside my window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you

Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

Time goes by... so slowly

She ended the song and was breathless. Dance and sing at the same time was hard it seemed "Wow Sidney! As I told you before, I heard what you were going to sing but I didn't think it would be that good! You've earned a place in the semifinal my dear"

"thank you Randy! Oh my God!" the girl said jumping around. Paula smiled at her "Sidney I'm so proud of you. You're the last girl standing there and you really don't want to leave that spot. But you deserve it so much"

Sid smiled and turned to Simon "even you my dear, are back in the race. And I can say even to you see you next week"

The girl nodded and hugged Ryan near her "good job girl! The numbers for Sid are 1-866-IDOL- 02 or 06 or if you want to text a message send it to 5702. Up next, his first song didn't get in the hearts of the judges. Here he is now hoping to conquer them. With Thelma Houston – don't leave me this way- here's sky once again.

The boy came out from the right wing of the stage. He sighed when he saw Bridge looking at him from the other side. He really hoped that Sidney would help him.

Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, can't stay alive
Without your love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way

baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you gotta do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control
Come on satisfy the need in me
Only your good lovin' can set me free...

Don't, don't you leave me this way, no
Don't you understand I'm at your command
Oh baby please, please don't leave me this way


Aaah baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you gotta do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control
Come on satisfy the need in me
Only your good lovin' can set me free…

The crowd cheered for him as he nodded and looked at Randy "Sky listen. It was better than the first song, but it still wasn't the Sky I love from the last weeks. I don't know what's happening to you tonight. I know that Disco isn't an easy genre, but you're capable of that!"

He sighed and looked at Paula "Randy is right on everything. It wasn't you on that stage tonight. And I'd really like to help you in every possible way Sky because you're a great guy…"

The crowd bowed as Sky just nodded and looked at Simon "I'm sorry to say this, but compared to the other performance of the night, both of yours were disaster. And I hope I'm wrong about it, but I have a feeling that you're going home tomorrow"

Ryan went near the guy and put a hand on his shoulder "don't worry Sky, it's not over yet. If you want to vote for Sky call 1-866-IDOL-03 or 07 or text a message to 5703. Now for the final performance of the night, Donna Summer took this song at number 1 with the help of another great singer. With –no more tears- say hallo once again to Bridge"

Sky looked at the boy as he marched in the centre of the stage slowly. If he had trying to get back to Bridge with his songs, the boy was making it clear that it was over with them

No sunshine, no moonlight,

No stardust, no sign of romance

And I won't waist another tear

If you've had enough,

Don't put up with his stuff,

Don't you do it

If you've had your fill,

Get the check pay the bill,

You can do it

Tell him to just get out

Nothing left to talk about

Pack his raincoat show him out

Just look him in the eyes and simple shout

Enough is enough is enough

I can't go on, I can't go on, no more no

Enough is enough

I want you out, I want you out that door now

I've always dreamed to find the perfect lover,

But he turns out to be like all the other ones

I've loved

I've loved

Enough is enough is enough

I can't go on, I can't go on, no more no

Enough is enough is enough

I want you out, I want you out that door now

Enough is enough is enough…

Randy and Paula stood up with the cheering crowd as Ryan went near the boy "we're running out of time so Simon quickly, what do you think about the performance?" "Bridge you surely takes the night. You we're the best among you four. See you in the finale"

The boy nodded and looked at the camera with Ryan "if you want to vote for Bridge call 1-866-IDOL-04 or 08 or if you want to text a message send it to 5704. Here's the recap of the performances one more time"

The others went on the stage "we will see tomorrow with the result show. Kristy Lee Cook will be here to perform. Goodnight!"

That night, Bridge went into his and Sid's room. When he opened the door, he found Sky "get out" "Bridge please…" "I'VE SAID GET OUT!!!!"

Sky froze. He never heard Bridge screaming. Sidney run into the room and saw the boy shaking "I've trusted you, you were the first one I've ever loved. And you gave me that. I hope Simon is right. I HOPE YOU'RE GOING HOME TOMORROW SO I WON'T SEE YOU AGAIN!!!" he said and run out of the room. Sid sighed looking at Sky and run off to follow the boy.

Sky stood in the room and started crying softly. He screwed up everything he got. And he wasn't going to get it back…
