"Next time you feel like jumping call me so that I'll be ready to catch you."

"Where are you guys? I go on in this than ten minutes," I yelled into my phone.

"I'm sorry the traffic is backed up to Second Street," Riley said into the phone.

I groaned, "This is really important to me."

This was my first time performing on tv without Josh by my side. Riley and Farkle were supposed to come and join me during my show, but now it looked they wouldn't make it.

"Text Lucas," Riley responded.

"Why?"

"His school is right next to the place your performing at," Riley explained.

"Fine. I'll see you later."

Maya: Can you come down and watch me perform

Lucas: I can try

Maya: okay I go on in ten minutes

Lucas: sounds good

Maya: I'll tell them your with me

Lucas: alright see you soon

I sat there waiting until someone came and got me.

"Ms. Hart they're ready to see you perform."

I walked out the door and walked into the stage. I searched for Lucas's face around the audience, but I couldn't see him.

The show must go on

Take take it all away,
Save my heart for another day.
I'm up late on the telephone
And I'm all alone with the dial tone.
Wait wait 'till the sun is up,
Drown my dreams in a coffee cup,
Palms out, wanna beg for luck
But I'm way too proud, never giving up.

Oh, something's gotta happen,
Something's gotta give and something's got to break.
I know, someday it's gonna happen,
Someday it's gonna give, can't always be this way.

And if the riptide comes to get me,
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Give give everything I've got,
Out of reach but I'll take a shot,
Kick rocks in the parking lot,
Feel like giving up, but I'll never stop.
Run run, running like a fool,
Never win if you never lose,
Find hope and a little truth,
Gonna learn new tricks, gotta jump through hoops.

Oh, something's gotta happen,
Something's gotta give and something's got to break.
I know, someday it's gonna happen,
Someday it's gonna give, can't always be this way.

And if the riptide comes to get me,
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Not forever, just for now
Not forever, just for now
Not forever, not forever, not forever
Won't stay down

And if the riptide comes to get me,
And pulls me under, it won't upset me, I'll go down
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I'll throw the white flag of surrender,
Knock me down, not forever, just for now
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

In among all the clapping was Lucas's smiling face. He was standing up clapping just like everyone else. I mouthed a thank you towards Lucas.
