Don't Forget Me

Chapter 6

Bruno performed his heart out glancing over to the side seeing Maggie bounce around to the music a little scared that someone would notice.

“Okay, everyone. My last one is for one very special girl that has made the most amazing impact on me the last 48 hours that I have been here.” Maggie felt Viv push her toward the front of the stage. “Maggie, can I sing to you, tonight?” he asked holding his hand out for her as the first few notes of Just the Way You Are started playing. Oh shit. She thought to herself.

She nodded her head a bit scared seeing all the girls in the audience aww in jealousy. He sat her down off to the side starting to sing to her feeling like she was the only person in the room. He blocked out all the screaming focusing on her dark green eyes and the slight red tint to her face from the embarrassment that he had caused her. As he finished he reached over to her pulling her up. “Maggie, you inspire me and everyone else here. We need you.” He said turning her around to face everyone. He let out a huge smile. “We should be applauding Maggie, not me. Everyone….the reason why we’re here tonight!” he exclaimed holding onto her hand feeling her shake from all the attention. He leaned in to her ear. “You’re doing great, Mags.”

After the audience calmed down and the lights dimmed he walked her off the stage with everyone else.

“Wow.” She said unknowingly still holding onto his hand. He stood next to her letting her hold on to him.

“Maggie?” he asked her now gripping onto her.

“Yeah?” she asked suddenly letting go of his hand. “Sorry.”

“It’s okay.” He smirked looking at her face start to go back to its normal color.

“You were going to ask me something?” she wondered.

“Oh, right. Umm…can I have your number? Or facebook or whatever….?” He asked her.

She reached over touching his cheek. “You’re up one, Bruno. You’re getting red.”

“If I count your face when you were up there we’d be tied.” He told her.

“Not counting it.” She laughed reaching over to her big bag that included her make-up and cell phone. “What’s your numba?” she asked him with a sense of humor.

“It’s….” he took her phone trying to figure out how to put it in her phone.

“Let me do it…” she laughed seeing the number on the screen. “There.” She responded showing it to him. “But I like to have pictures of the people so if I’m sick I get to see their face…” she told him holding out the phone to take a picture. He made a ridiculous face making her crack up as she snapped the picture. She turned and showed it to him. “Is that okay?”

“Now I get to take your picture….” He told her.

“Ugh. Fine.” She said dramatically. She smiled at the phone seeing him take the picture. He turned and showed it to her. She shrugged. “Ehh. It’s okay.”

“Ahem…” Ryan interjected walking up behind them. Maggie turned to see a group of her people and his people watching over them.

“Right. I have to go.” He said. “I will call you, Maggie.” He said kissing her on the cheek squeezing her hand.
