"Can you believe two people are gonna leave tonight?" Payton walks over to Jax. "I know it's insane. It's gonna be so hard." Jax laughs. "I can't believe we made it this far." Payton smiles. "How are you doing today?" Jax asks. "A little better. I'm trying not to let it get to me tonight." Payton smiles. "That's good. I'm proud of you." Jax smiles and hugs Payton. "Knock knock." Daniel walks in with Maddie. "Hey Danny!" Payton walks over to Daniel and hugs him. "Hi Maddie." Payton smiles letting go of Daniel. "Well we just wanted to come in and wish you guys luck." Maddie smiles. "Thanks guys!" Jax walks up. "How you doing?" Daniel looks over at Payton. "I'm doing alright tonight." Payton smiles. "Good." Daniel smiles and kisses Payton on the cheek. "Hey guys! Shows gonna start!" Clark walks in. "We'll get going. Have fun." Maddie tells Jax and Payton and her and Daniel walk out. "You ready?" Payton turns back at Jax. "Yep! Let's go!" Jax smiles and her and Payton walk to the lounge with the rest. The show started and Ryan and the judges walked out. "We have three rounds tonight, Scott's choice, a song dedication to their hometown, and the judges choice." Ryan starts to say. "Tonight, we will have two of our competitors going home who will it be? We will found out at the end of the show so stayed tuned. Alright....." Ryan looks over at the idols at the lounge. We will first start with Payton Vaughns." Ryan says and everyone cheers. Payton smiles and stands up to go on stage. While the footage of her and Scott played.

"I chose this song because it's a perfect song for you. You have the voice and I know you will rock this song." Scott says handing Payton the envelope reveling the song.

"Fix You by Coldplay!"  Payton smiles. "I love that song! I think I can do it."

The footage starts and Payton smiles sitting at the piano. The music starts and Payton starts playing and singing showing some emotion.

She finishes her song and everyone cheers and claps. Payton smiles standing up. The cameras point to Daniel who is smiling and clapping.

"Payton! What a great way to start the show." Keith tells Payton. "Thank you." Payton smiles. "That was a very slow and nice song and I love the arrangement with the piano and everything it was good." Keith finishes. "Thank you." Payton says. "Hi sweetie." JLo looks up at Payton. "Hi." Payton says shyly. "How are you?" JLo asks. "I'm doing alright." Payton laughs. "I think that song was beautiful. You showed a lot of emotion towards the bridge of the song. I loved your piano playing." JLo smiles. "Thank you." Payton smiles. "Yea Payton, I agree with Keith and JLo..." Harry starts to say. "It was very beautiful and I really felt the emotion like....I was gonna cry..." Harry says and everyone claps. "Hold on....you crying?" Keith looks at Harry and JLo laughs. "I've never seen you cry before." Keith says. "I didn't say I was crying...I said I was about to." Harry tells Keith. "aw you do have heart..no I'm just kidding." JLo laughs and Harry just has a blank face and everyone laughs. "Yea I also have feelings." Harry looks at JLo. Everyone laughs and Ryan walks out on stage. "Everyone Payton Vaughns!" Ryan walks next to Payton. "Thank you." Payton smiles and looks out on the crowd. "How you doing?" Ryan smiles. "I'm doing good. It's been difficult the last couple days but I'm pulling through it." Payton smiles. "That's good. Well go backstage and we'll see you soon." Ryan says and Payton walks back with everyone cheering. Clark went up after Payton and commercial break started.
