Sing 2 (Johnny x OC)

Chapter 18

The cast were all exhausted from the events of the night. Everyone was chilling, full of pride and satisfaction from what the they were able to achieve, but also glad to go home.

Was a Monday morning

'Bout a quarter past 4:00

Johnny and Nooshy were listening to music, Johnny waving to his Dad through the window as he drove past with the gang.

You were busy dreaming

So what did you wake up for?

Meena and Gunter were chatting animatedly with Alphonso through FaceTime.

Are you a stranger in your own life?

What are you hiding behind those eyes?

Clay was looking out of the window, lost in thought as Ash slept soundly beside him.

Is no one looking for you there?

You know your song saved my life

Miss Crawly was surrounded a bunch of sleeping kids.

I don't sing it just so I can get by

Won't you hear me

While Porsha and Buster sat at the back, looking at the city as the bus left.

When I tell you, darlin'

I sing it to survive

As Johnny was listening. Alyssa's departure crossed his mind.

(Flashback)

The police car had just zoomed off with Crystal in handcuffs. The theatre exit was crowded with reporters and the audience leaving the building. Johnny and Alyssa were in the lobby waiting for the others to arrive.

"So, I guess this is it huh?" Alyssa starts off, hating how awkward the situation has gotten.

"Yeah, I guess so. Crazy way to end the night though." Johnny says with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I really thought Buster was goner in that moment. I'm glad it's over." She sighs, still a little shaken up.

"Honestly, same. If not for Rosita catching him, everything would've got a whole lot worse." He says.

"On the bright side, I think we did pretty well. You did so well with your solo, especially standing up to Klaus like that. I'm proud of you." She smiles.

"Thanks. I couldn't have done it without you, you know?" He smiles back.

Before she can reply, Melissa runs up to them. "Oh my gosh, Alyssa. I'm so proud of you girl. Are you okay? You need anything?" She says, wrapping her in a hug.

"Hey Melissa, thanks but I'm good, don't worry about it." Alyssa returns the hug.

"Alright then, you ready to head home? I'll call us a taxi." She replies.

"Yeah, sounds good." Melissa then goes off to hail a taxi.

"So, I gives its time to say goodbye." Alyssa says, directing her attention back to Johnny.

"Yeah, I guess." He smiles solemnly.

"Alright, hand me your phone." She smirks, sticking her hand out.

He looks at her confused. "Why?"

"So I can give you my number silly. How else are we going to keep in touch." She chuckles.

"Right, right." He says with a smile.

He puts his phone in her hand and she types in her number before handing it back to him.

"Thanks." He says. "Wasn't sure you'd still wanna talk after the show was done."

"Well-" She starts but is interrupted by Melissa calling her name from the door.

"Be right there!" She calls back. "Goodbye Johnny, hope to hear from you soon." She wraps him in a hugs which catches him off guard but he eventually reciprocates before she rushes off to the door.

(Flashback ends)
Some tapping on the bus window breaks Johnny from the memory.

"Stop the bus!" Suki shouts from her moped, before zooming in front of the bus to stop it.

Suki enters the bus, removing her helmet to spread the good news.

"I just got a call from The Majestic. They think your show is fantastic, and they want to put it on at their theater." She says, buzzed with excitement.

"Well, what do you say, Mr. Calloway? You in?" Buster asks, Clay in a hopeful tone. Clay looks around smiling before giving a firm nod. They all cheer in happiness.

"Wow, this is amazing! I've gotta tell Alyssa." Johnny says, whipping out his phone.

"Damn, since when did you get her number." Nooshy waggles her eyebrows playfully.

He rolls his eyes. "She gave it to me before she left."

"Alright, alright I see you Johnny." She smirks at him.

He rolls his eyes again with a smile before dialling her number.

Your song saved my life

The worst and the best days

Nana steps out her car outside The Majestic theatre, already impressed from the posters outside displaying the show.

Of my life

I was broken, now I'm open

The cast start walking to their positions, Alyssa intertwines her hand with Johnny's. This time with Nooshy joining them as one of the warriors.

Your love keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

Nana and Buster go to greet them and wish them luck before it starts.

Your song saved my life

The worst and the best days

Buster and Nana settle into their seats with Alphonso, Miss Crawly and Norman.

Of my life

Your song saved my life

Song saved my, song saved my.

As the lights dim, Buster perches his head on the edge of the railing to enjoy the show like he did as a child. And so Out of This World begins again.
