Don't Give Up On Us Now (Sequel to The New Berry)

Chapter 20 ~ Bad Influences

"Yeah."

"Well, I love a good love song." Ryley kisses him again.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Ryder and Jake are ready to perform the next day in Glee Club. They both have stools to sit on to sing the song. The New Directions all sit on the seats of the choir room with Marley and Ryley in the front row.

"We're singing a song by Chris Brown and Justin Bieber. Both are pretty bad influences. You shouldn't idolise them." Ryder explains.

The band begin to play their song.

[Jake:]

You've got that smile,

Jake looks directly at Marley as he sings. She smiles brightly at him.

That only heaven can make.

I pray to God everyday,

That you keep that smile.

[Ryder:]

Yeah, you are my dream,

Ryder grins while he sings to Ryley, who begins smiling at him back.

There's not a thing I won't do.

I'd give my life up for you,

'Cause you are my dream.

[Jake & Ryder (Jake):]

And baby, everything that I have is yours,

You will never go cold or hungry.

I'll be there when you're insecure,

Let you know that you're always lovely.

(Girl, 'cause you are) the only thing that I got right now.

[Jake (with Ryder):]

One day when the sky is (falling,)

I'll be standing right next to you,

Right next to you.

Nothing will ever come between us,

'Cause I'll be standing right next to you,

Right next to you.

[Jake (Ryder):]

If you had my child (little lady)

You would make my life complete (little lady)

Just to have your eyes on a little me.

(That'd be mine forever)

[Jake & Ryder:]

And baby, everything that I have is yours

You will never go cold or hungry

I'll be there when you're insecure

Let you know that you're always lovely

Girl, 'cause you are the only thing that I got right now

One day when the sky is falling,

I'll be standing right next to you,

Right next to you.

Nothing will ever come between us,
