So the title of this chapter ISN'T Ryder's 'surprise' song for the showcase; it's Casey's song. Ryder's 'surprise' song will be revealed when he sings it.
Enjoy though!
-------------------------------------------
Casey walks out onto the stage since he was next for the showcase.
"I'm Casey Dean and I will be singing Ed Sheeran's Lego House." Casey says.
The band start.
I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind
It's all for you
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm gonna paint you by numbers
And colour you in
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart
And swap it for yours
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now
The crowd cheer for Casey as he leaves the stage with a smile.
"That was good, Casey." Ryley says.
"Thanks." Casey says, smiling and walks away.
"He's sociable." Marley says, sarcastically.
"He's probably trying to get on with his life." Ryder says.
"Are you up next, Ryd?" Ryley asks Ryder.
"Yup. I'm the last person to perform." Ryder says.
"Break a leg." Ryley says, giving Ryder a kiss on his cheek.
Ryder smiles and walks onto the stage.
"I'm Ryder Lynn and the song I will be singing is dedicated to the love of my life, Ryley Bridges. This was the first proper song I sung to her back in high school." Ryder says. He looks at Ryley and smiles at her. The band start to play the song and Ryley feels so happy.
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
Ryley gets flashbacks of when Ryder sung this to her during the Camp Rock auditions during Junior year. When they're eye contact was connected during the whole song.
I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You come anytime you want, yeah.
Ryder looks over at Ryley for the whole of this chorus. Ryley just wants to cry with joy.
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
Shit, she is crying now. 'Stop crying, Ryley' She thinks.
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Yeah
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh.
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
[in the background:]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Yeah, yeah.
[softly:]
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Ryley claps the loudest and she is wiping away her tears of joy. She runs onto the stage and kisses Ryder with all her love.
"I love you so much." Ryley says against his lips.
"I love you so much too." Ryder says, smiling.
