Playing on broken strings.

chapter 10

“how do you know?” he asks

“pippa told me emma really likes you…like REALLY likes you” I say.

“good im definitely going to ask her tonight” he says

“do you think pippa would say yes to me I mean I don’t want to embarrass myself” I say shyly

“Justin bieber is worried about being embarrassed? Justin bieber one of the world’s most famous singers is worried about asking a girl out?” Christian says making fun of me.

“Kinda” I see keeping my eyes on the table.

“well don’t worry man shes bound to say yes” Christian says chuckling “besides your irresistible” he says winking at me…god hes such a idiot sometimes.

“thanks man” I say laughing

We notice the girls coming back over so we immediately change the subject

“so football” Christian says trying to play it cool but its not working I just burst out laughing and start talking to pippa

“what song did you choose?” I ask her desperately wanting to know the answer

“it’s a surprise” she says winking at me….that was hot.

“you don’t know how excited I am about this” Emma says barely being able to keep herself in her chair

“im not” pippa says grumbling

“you’ve got to be kidding me chummy you used to love singing and acting and your good at it we all know that!” she says staring at me.

“I still do love singing just not in front of people” pippa says staring at the table.

“Well its not like any of us haven’t heard you sing before” I say telling the truth

“fine” she says clearly giving in.

“can I have Emma and Pippa up to the dj booth to sing Die In Your Arms by Justin Bieber please” the dj says.

I smile and watch them walk up to the stage each grabbing microphones

“do you need the lyrics?” the dj asks

“no I think we will be okay” pippa says smiling over at me.

The instrumental kicks in before emma starts singing the first few lines.

“say you love me as much as I love you yeah would you hurt me baby…” she carry’s on until pippa jumps in taking over singing the next few lines emma was good really good but what pippa was about to sing blew me away.

“oh I can’t help it im just selfish there’s no way that I could share you and it breaks my heart to pieces honestly the truth is” she sings moving around the stage letting the music take over her bending down she looks over and stares and me which sends chills down my spine.

Emma and Pippa sing in unison for the chorus their voices harmonise perfectly together it sounds amazing after a few more verses and Pippa finishes the song with a solo it leaves me their speechless.

But what happened next I was not expecting no one was.

There weren’t many people in the restaurant but the few people who were there started clapping and shouting

“ENCORE ENCORE”

The girls stood on the stage shocked before pippa finally spoke up.

“Okay okay but if im going to sing again theres someone I want to sing with” she says walking towards me taking me by the hand and leading me up to the stage.
