"Alright Jake, you said you have something to show right? Take the floor." Finn says to Jake then sits down next to me.

I raise my eyebrows and look at Jake sitting down on the stool in the front. I'm sitting in the front row next to Finn. I know that Jake must want to sing something to Marley. 

I didn't know that my brother has a similar voice to Ne-Yo or maybe it's because Jake is more black and I'm like a hot Latina. Yeah I know I'm hot enough.

"That was awesome, man. Absolutely a contender for Regionals." Finn claps for Jake.

"Who was that song for?" Brittany asks Jake.

"Uh, that was for Marley." Jake answers shyly.

"Is there anything else you wanted to say to her?" Ryder asks Jake.

"Uh, I think the song pretty much said it." Jake says to us.

"Well done, man! That was awesome. Everyone give it up for Jake!" Finn claps and stands up from his seat as Jake walks back to sit down in the back row.

"Finn, if I may?" Ryder suddenly raised his hand.

"Yes, Ryder?" Finn asks Ryder.

"I also have a song that I want to sing for someone here." Ryder walks to the front.

"You don't wanna mention her name, dude?" Jake says to Ryder.

"You'll know later." Ryder grins at us until music starts and he begins to sing. 

Ryder:
Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that is just passes by

Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie

I know you're protecting yourself
I know you're thinking somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can

Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am

Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before

Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a love to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate 
Than to wait anymore

I know you don't want to hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
And although this is a fight I can lose

The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man


Everyone started clapping at the of the song until he kneeled down on his knees and held my hand smiling at me. I just don't know what to do. I guess what everyone said was right.

"Jo, would you go out with me?" Ryder raises his eyebrows at me.

"Ummmm......"
