3 DEALS✔

CHAPTER 22✔

What is the truth?
What's an illusion?
You're searching for proof.
But are you certain.
Whatever you see is what you get.
If words paint a picture, then I betcha I can getcha yet.

I was having the time of my life. It was perfect. Everything was perfect. I could feel Ryder's gaze behind my head. He was standing behind the curtains, peeking from them.

I'll make you believe in me.
I can be what you want me to be.
Tonight is the night. That I'll make you see.
That I can be anything anything anything.

Everyone was shouting, whistling, singing and clapping and dancing along with me. I was in a euphoric state. Every song that I sung on any stage, it was always in a daze. I could only remember snippets from the concerts.

It was always amazing. It meant that I was living in the moment. And in that moment only I mattered. Every eye was on me. Every clap, every whistle was meant for me. I was the center of attention. And that felt amazing.

I'm not shy boy. I can be what you want.
Your bright shiny toy. You just have to respond.
The clock never stops. But baby its time.
There's not a doubt in my mind.
That I can make you believe.
I can be what you want me to be.
Tonight is the night. Where I make you see.
That I can be anything anything anything.

The song came to an end. I smiled at the crowd. I could see Andy and Chris cheering wildly. I laughed at them as the curtains closed and I was backstage again.

Ryder squished me in a tight hug. All the while saying how proud he was and how amazing I was. I was still in a daze.

"We did it Ryder." I said.

"No. You did it." He said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was roaming the halls of the school. It would soon be mine and Ryder's turn. They all took a break. I was suddenly pulled in a classroom.

I looked around to see Ryder.

"What the hell are we doing here?" I said. Ryder walked towards me and pulled me close.

"It's gonna be our turn. I need something to take the edge off." Before I could respond, his lips were on mine.

"I can't tell you how fucking proud I am to call you my girl." Ryder said, his breath mingling with mine.

"All of those guys out there will be so jealous when they'll find out that the winner of this competition is going to be my girlfriend." He kissed me again.

"What if I told them, that I'm not your girlfriend?" I said, smirking.

"I won't let you. I will kill each of them." He said, glaring playfully at me.

"Easy. Tiger. I'm not going anywhere." I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the classroom.

Suddenly someone appeared in front of us. I squinted my eyes to see Crystal standing there. What the hell is she doing here? She never comes to these competitions.

"Oh my God. What a small world." Crystal said.

"And yet I never run into Beyoncé." Ryder said, annoyed. I smiled.

"We got selected. We are performing tonight." Ryder said. Crystal immediately rushed to his side and grabbed his arm dragging him away.

Ryder looked at me. I smiled at him and told him to ahead.

I was about to follow them when my phone buzzed. It was an unknown number.

Unknown: Don't perform with him tonight. Or he dies on the stage.

I turned off my phone, and headed backstage.

I'm not gonna be afraid. I will not let my fear get the best of me.
