DPOV

Wow.

I couldn't believe I was actually doing this.

I was two people away from being on stage…on national television…about to sing my heart out for money…

This was going to be my first time singing in front of an actual crowd, aside from all the times I sung in front of Justin. Would people like my voice? Would I get boo'd off stage? Did I even have a chance at this?

Listening to the girl on stage now who was singing My Heart Will Go On by Celion Dion, chyeah, I can kiss the $10,000 goodbye… she was amazing.

But there were quite a few people who I think just did this for the attention or for shits and giggles. They didn't care that they sucked, they just wanted to be expressed. Because they would dance around the stage as if it was there last day to live; the crowd sure had a laugh about it, but in the end they would get a standing ovation, which gave me hope.

Maybe it doesn't matter if I do good or not, maybe all that matters is the fact of having fun and showing the world your not afraid.

I smiled softly to myself and continued to listen to the blonde girl on stage.

When she finished with an outstanding ending, they whole crowd went wild, I cheered along myself for her.

"Woowzers!" Dylan started on stage. "Give Ashley a hand for her amazing performances! But don't get your votes started now, I'm sure we have many more amazing performances to come." with that, he glanced my way and smiled. I smiled back at him and shook me head slightly.

"Okay! Next…we have The Only Exception by Paramore. So give a hand for Miranda Skye!" He glided his hands in the direction of the girl in front of me, while her sandals scampered the stairs. She waved a hand and grabbed the microphone preparing for the song. A soft melody started playing and she took a deep breath.

I shifted my weight to my right foot, and crossed my arms for support. Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, Dylan was standing there with a smile on his face.

"I just wanted to say…again…" he chuckled. "good luck, and have fun. I'm sure you'll do great." he smiled again. I smiled back and nodded my head.

"Thanks, Dylan. I'm a little nervous but I'm sure I'll do fine." I laughed softly.

He nodded and patted my shoulder. With that he walked off.

I turned back to the red head on stage singing her heart out.

JPOV

Wow.

I couldn't believe there was nothing on TV.

Well, it was 1 am.

So I just kept flicking through the channels for the last half hour. Over and over…and over again…

FINALLY…something caught my tired eyes…it was a girl singing on stage. She had red hair with blue ripped shorts and this floral colored tank top. She had a pretty decent voice; singing along with Paramore.

I saw there was a ton of people there, what appeared to look like a mall. People were clapping along, swaying to the music, or just squeezing by to go shopping. I wonder what this even was?

Then a little icon appeared in the corner of the screen, saying "The Sing-Out-Loud Contest" with a little palm tree included. Oh, so a singing contest, cool. I always loved hearing new voices.

The girl ended and did a little bow and waved. Her hair flipped as she turned to walk off stage, and then a brown haired guy walked on stage with a microphone in hand.

"Give it up for Miranda!" He said pointing to the girl. "It's time to take a break but don't change that channel! When we come back, we'll have some new faces in this competition!" Suddenly the camera started to move towards the crowd.

But the thing that caught my eye, was a girl standing in a red shirt, and white shorts, standing right next to the stage. The guy went to her and whispered something in her ear, which made her turn around.

I swear I felt my heart drop out of my heart.

There she was.

Smiling and waving at the camera cautiously. I smiled as if that smile was directly for me and me only.

Then the screen went black, and a golfing commercial came on.

I sat still for the longest time, waiting for the commercials to end and go straight to the contest. She was going to sing, and I could finally hear her sweet voice again. I felt my heart ache just thinking about her being all the way down in California. I missed her…way to much.

Finally the show came back on, and I suddenly jumped in excitement. It showed the guy standing center stage with the microphone. He had a smile and quickly glanced over to Danielle, who looked as nervous as fuck.

"And were back with more amazing talents! So far you've heard heart warming, spine chilling, and plain cat screeching performances, so here's another one to add to the collection! Welcome to the stage, Danielle Knox!" He walked off stage with Danielle shyly walking on stage. Her heard was down the whole time she walked on.

Once she made it to the microphone stand and gripped it tightly, while lifting her head to the camera. She looked at it for a while before taking a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Her mouth opened, ready to sing.

"This song, I'd like to dedicate to someone…someone close to my heart. And sometimes, I ask myself…if I could have stayed…" she bowed her head, as my heart ached even more. Was she talking about me?

"Well it's good to hear your voice,
I hope your doing fine,
And if you ever wonder,
I'm lonely here tonight."

She kept her head low, not daring to look into the camera lens.

"I'm lost here in this moment and time keeps slipping by,
And if I could have just one wish
I'd have you by my side.."

Her delicate voice filled my ears, as she shook her head as if she really meant it, and looked up slightly.

"Ohhh ohh.
I miss you.
Ohhh ohh.
I need you"

She finally looked into the camera as her eye brows tilted sadly. Her grip was still hard on the microphone and she looked like she gain confidence because she closed her eyes and rocked her neck back.

"And I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face,
Nothings changed.
No one can take your place,
It gets harder every day.
Say you love me more than you did before, and I'm sorry it's this way.
But I'm coming home I'll be comin' home.
And if you ask me I will stay.
I will stay."

The whole time she looked into the camera meaningfully as if she was looking straight into my eyes. Tears started to well in my eyes as she sung more.

"Well I try to live without you
But tears fall from my eyes
I'm alone and I feel empty
God, I'm torn apart inside
I look up at the stars
Hoping you're doing the same
And somehow I feel closer
And I can hear you say
Ohhh, ohh,
I miss you,
Ohhh ohh,
I need you."

She put so much power into her voice it was amazing, but I could feel her pain lingering inside of me as she sung.

"I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face,
Nothings changed.
No one can take your place,
It gets harder ever day.
Say you love me more than you did before, and I'm sorry it's this way.
But I'm coming home I'll be comin' home.
And if you ask me I will stay.
I will stay."

Her eyes were rather in the camera or looking up, she didn't dare look at the people around her; because I knew she had tears in her eyes the same way I did. One trickled down my cheek, but I quickly wiped it away.

"Always stay, I never wanna loose you,
And if I had to I would choose you,
So stay, please always stay,
You're the one that I hold onto,
Cause my heart would stop without you-.."

She stared straight into the camera, my gaze never broke hers. Then she started to softly sing, as if she was whispering yet talking, close to not singing.

"I love you more than I did before
And if today I don't see your face,
Nothings changed.
No one can take your place,
It gets harder every day.

Say you love me more than you did before, and I'm sorry it's this way.
But I'm coming home, I'll be comin' home.
And if you ask me I will stay.
I will stay,
I'll always stay,
And I love you more than I did before
And I'm sorry that it's this way,
But I'm coming home, I'll be comin' home.
And if you ask me I will stay.
I will stay,
I will stay-."

A tear shed down her tanned cheeks. She smiled shyly to the camera and blew a small kiss. I reached out my hand aimlessly and caught it, and placed my fist to my heart.

She walked off stage, but before she could, that guy stopped her and whispered something in her ear. She smiled and said something while nodding her head. She gave one last look to the camera, and smiled softly again, and walked off.

"Well what about that! Give it up for Danielle singing Stay by Miley Cyrus!" the brown haired guy said.

I stared at where Danielle was walking, and I saw two other people walk fast through the crowd, almost as if to catch up to her, but Danielle just kept walking off, and lifted a hand to her face. With that, I could no longer see her on the screen..

"Will you really stay this time Danny?…" I whispered to myself.
