Mason was sat with Jas and her family after a Friday night dinner. The TV was on in the background, as they chatted with a glass of wine.
"Oh my god, Mase. Is that Finn, the guy we met at Stamford Bridge?" Jas spoke up, giving Mason a knowing look.
"Yeah it is. Turn it up."
"And tonight, with his new single 'Dancing On My Own', Finn O'Hara!" Graham Norton announced on the TV screen. The lights went down and a spotlight appeared on the young Mancunian at the microphone.
[🔊 Dancing On My Own - Callum Scott]
Somebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
And there's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at, I bet she's around
And yeah, I know it's stupid
But I just gotta see it for myself
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh
And I'm giving it my all
I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
Mason gulped, the room in silence. The sound of Finn's voice resonated through the air.
I just wanna dance all night
And I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line, yeah
Stilettos and broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
And I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
And oh, nah
So far away but still so near
The lights come on, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
And oh, nah
Said, I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh no
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me? Oh no
And I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
So far away, but still so near
The lights come on, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here
Nobody spoke as the audience on the TV cheered for Finn.
"God, what a talent." Jas let out.
"Hmmm." Mason murmured.

Hollie, Finn, Leah and Beth were all crowded round the TV to watch Finn's performance.
"AHH, it's so Finn." Beth announced.
"Love it, love it, love it!" Leah followed up.
"Woooooo, the boy delivers." Hollie cheered.
Finn smiled and thanked them all for their support. He was very happy with how it had turned out and his phone was already blowing up with messages.
"Who ever that song is about is regretting their choice right now, I can assure you that." Beth added.
"Too fucking right." Hollie snapped.
"Oooh look at you go Hol, we love a protective bestie." Leah laughed.
