Chapter 48
Bridge was going toward the meeting with Sky and Sid: with the new rule, he decided to work with the two of them. Ty's words were still impressed in his mind: the thought of the boy was scaring him to death. What he's done just do be in the finale with him was crazy.
The car pulled of near the hotel and Bridge walked slowly to the room where he was supposed to work with his friends. He spotted Sid near the elevator and run to hug her "hey Bridge, long time no see…" the boy looked at her confused "I was joking…"
He nodded embarrassed as they went up to Sky's room "so… how is it living with Satan?" he smiled at her "Actually… I didn't see him since the results' show… I didn't see him since. I have to tell you something… to both of you guys"
The girl looked worried at him "What? Aren't you feeling well or something?" he shook his head "No… it's about Ty…" she nodded and they went in silence to the room. When Sid opened the door, Bridge spotted Sky on the bed working on some songs: maybe his choice for him "Sky…"
The man looked up and smiled softly at the boy "Hi… I've told you that you would be in the finale…" he said smirking as he got up and hugged him "yeah… but you know that I wanted you there with me… anyway Ty talked to me on the last show's night. He was the one behind everything that happened to me: the piano, Jack and the poisoned food. Then, when he didn't succeed in getting me out of the competition…" he sighed softly "…he got rigged of all of you"
He looked at his friend and he saw Sky getting up mad and heading to the door "that son of a…" "No!" Bridge run and blocked him "I want to beat him by winning this competition… maybe it's the only way he will leave us alone…" "Bridge…" Sid said sighing but the boy shook his head "I want it please… will you help me?"
Sky and Sid looked at each other and nodded "Sure. But first I have to tell you what happened on that night" Sky said as he set on the bed
Flashback (Top 4's Pre Show)
The house was almost empty. Sid had dragged Bridge out for shopping, leaving Sky alone in the house with Ty. The man was playing his guitar in the leaving room, and he didn't saw the blond boy approaching him.
When he looked up, he almost drop is guitar "Ty! Christ don't do that again!" the boy smirked as he set down "I'm sorry… I didn't want to make you stop playing. What were you playing?"
Sky set back on the sofa and smiled "it was an acoustic version of –if I can't have you- one of my choices of this week. It's actually hard to find some songs to sing. And you? You've set everything for the show?" Ty nodded happily "yup! I still don't know about the arrangement, but I've chosen. I have to go later with you for the rehearse"
Sky smiled "why don't we try the coronation's song now? We still got a lot of time to spend before Sid and Bridge will be back." "Sure! Thanks a lot!" Sky started playing the song as Ty sang first. He had to admit it: the boy was very good "you were fantastic Ty!" the boy blushed at the compliment "thank you Sky. I'm going to the kitchen. You need something?" "a beer would be amazing thanks"
He nodded as he went to fetch the drinks. He took out the beer can for Sky and put the liquid in a glass. Next, he took out the pills and put two of them in it. Then he took a bottle of water for him and went back to the man "thank you. I'm so thirsty…" Sky said taking drinking half the glass: being a bartender for half your life raise your limits about drinking alcohols "why don't you try the song Sky? I'm sorry but I can't play for you" they both smiled "yeah ok. But you can tell me what you think about it" he started playing as he begun to feel dizzy. Halfway through the song, he felt his eyes closing heavily. Next thing he remember was the sound of his guitar colliding with the floor, and then nothing
End of Flashback
"Next I remember you coming into the room and screaming… I still don't know what happened… You know… if we had…" "DON'T SAY IT!!" Sid screamed as Sky blushed. They both looked at Bridge. He was looking at them without saying a word "Bridge?" "Come on we have a work to do…" he said moving toward the song sheets. Sid got worried and went near him "are you ok?" "YES I AM!"
She stepped back surprise by the outcome of it "now can we please start practice? I have a competition to win…" Sid and Sky looked at each other and nodded. It was his way to cope with what Sky's said. And they know he would make everything he could to win the competition…
…and beat Tyzonn
