Chapter 44
"Bridge, please, listen to me…" "No Sidney! And stop with this!" the woman sighed. She tried everything in her power to make the boy listen to her, but she didn't make it. He didn't want to forgive Sky. However, she didn't blame him ether: after all, he's found him in bed with another man, who happened to be the spoiled Ty.
Ty. The boy she grew up to hate so much during the entire competition, who's now revealing himself as a moron. She needed to make Bridge understand before it was too late. She looked at Sky before stepping on the stage: he was so sad he didn't even look up when he collided with a crew member. She sighed and took her place near Bridge on the big sofa.
In the same moment, Ryan entered on the stage "Good evening! We're getting close to the final of this amazing season. Two weeks and we will celebrate another American idol. But first, as every week, we have to say goodbye to one of the remaining four contestants. We have now a guest, ladies and gentleman. She fought for her place last season despite Simon's bad comments every week. With her first single -15 Minutes of Shame- here's the one and only Kristy Lee Cook!"
The crowd started screaming as the big screen opened to reveal the blond girl who went in the centre of the stage smiling
Yeah,
This song is about you!
I'm giving you more than fair warnin'
Right now on your radio!
Everybody's gonna hear
All the things that you did
That you don't want the world to know!
I'm spillin' the beans,
I'm shouttin' it out!
Yeah, you're gonna be sorry now!
Every single lie you told
I'm tellin!
Every promise that you broke
I'm rattin' you out!
Every girl in this world's gonna know your name!
And I hope you enjoy your 15 minutes of shame!
Yeah!
Oh-oh!
Hey,
You're lookin' nervous!
Now that your double talkin' has caught back up with you!
Stick to your alibi!
Don't try to deny it,
When I reveal the truth!
Sure, you're pretty good,
At workin' a line.
But it's all just a matter of time!
Every single lie you told
I'm tellin!
Every promise that you broke
I'm rattin' you out!
Every girl in the world's gonna know your name!
And I hope you enjoy your 15 minutes of...
Shame, shame, shame on you!
Look who's lookin' like a fool!
Now!
Blame, blame, blame yourself!
Won't be foolin' no one else!
Anymore...
"Come here guys!" Kristy screamed to the 4 contestants and they run near her to sing the last part especially Sid and, mostly, Bridge
Every single lie you told
I'm tellin!
Every promise that you broke
I'm rattin' you out!
Every girl in this world's gonna know your name!
And I hope you enjoy your 15 minutes of shame!
Yeah-yeah!
Ooh-ooh!
Your 15 minutes of shame, shame, shame!
Uh... huh...
Your 15 minutes of sha-a-ame!
When she finished, she hugged the 4 guys near her and run out of the stage "Now, since you four are already here, dim the light and we starts with the results. As last week, I won't say who is in the bottom 2. Bridge let's start with you. Your first song was –somebody else's guy- the judges agreed that even if it was a strange choice of song, it was perfect. The second one was –no more tears- Randy and Paula gave you a standing ovation and Simon said that you've won the night. Can you start a group on my left?"
The boy nodded and went to take place "Sidney, you've started with –knock on wood- randy and paula said that you've had a lot of fun on the stage and Simon apologized for saying that you weren't good for this competition. Second, you went with a medley of –hung up- and –gimme, gimme, gimme- we can summarized what they say with Simon saying –see you next week-"the crowd cheered as Sid smiled at the British "can you make a group on my right sweetheart?"
The girl nodded and looked at Bridge. He looked absorbed in his thoughts "Ty, first you've sang a jazz version of –whishing on a star- the judges said that it was good but the jazzy arrangement wasn't so special. You've come back on the stage with –relight my fire- the judges appreciated the combination between the original and the take that's version. Can you go joining Sidney?"
The boy made his way near the blond and glared at her. Sid, however, wasn't scared of him. She glared back "last but not least, Sky. First you've sang –everlasting love- the judges didn't thought it was that great, and simon crushed everything by saying that the arrangement was horrible. However, they've changed their mind with your seconds, -don't leave me this way-. However, even if they've said it was good, they said it wasn't you. Please go join Bridge"
The man nodded and went near the boy, who didn't even look up when sky was near him "I can now say that the first two who are safe are… Sidney and Tyzonn. Congratulation!" the two looked at each other and went on the sofa, both worried on who will leave the competition. "Now, either Bridge or Sky will leave tonight. If we look at the polls all over the net, both of you should be in the finale. And Sky, everybody in those polls want you to be the next American Idol"
The man smiled weakly at the cheering crowd in front of him "I'm sorry Sky, that isn't going to happen. This is the end of the road for you"
Bridge looked up slowly. He couldn't believe it. What he's said to Sky the night before had come true. He didn't know how to feel now "that it is. Sid, Ty and Bridge are your top 3 America. Next week they will sing 3 songs each: one choose by the judges, one by the producers and one by Clive Davis, who will be here with us as a guest judge. Plus, they will go home this weekend for the home parade. Good night!"
That night, Bridge entered slowly his old room and found Sky packing "Sky…"
He heard the man sighing "what do you want Bridge…" "I… I don't know…" with that, sky turned to the boy screaming "YOU DON'T KNOW??? I'VE TRYIED TO TALK TO YOU FOR A WEEK AND YOU'VE CLOSED ME OUT OF YOU!"
Bridge looked down and started crying softly. Sky took his bag and put on his shades. Even if it was evening in Hollywood, sun was still shining in the sky "whenever you're ready to talk, you know my number. But I don't know if I will be ready to talk to you" he said without looking at the boy "good bye Bridge Carson. I still know you will win"
With that, Sky went out of the room and out of the mansion. Bridge stood in the room and looked at the man's bed. He was gone. Bridge then set down on it and cryied harder. He's lost the only thing good he had in his life.
Maybe forever…

Please don't be mad! I know you didn't expect this (or maybe you did…) but in a way it was necessary. I still don't know what Bridge should sing as Judges Choice. If anybody would like to help me I would appreciate it so much! But, for now, review!!!!!!
