The girl in the shadows: Cameron Dallas

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Caroline's POV 

"Ummm I don't know"Sam said worriedly. She was looking from me to Mahogany.

"Oh come on please" Cameron protested.

"Sing, sing, sing" they all chanted.

Eventually the entire cafe joined in.
"Okay fine!" She said getting up.

"Uh Caroline, Mahogany can you help me pick a song please."

We got up and made out way to the now empty DJ booth.

  "Is this even possible?" Sam said panicking.

Mahogany was looking through the booth for another mic.

"Yes I found one, we just have to find a place for Caroline to sing" Mahogany said.

"How about right under you?" I said looking at Mahogany.

"It's risky, someone could see you come out of there after the song or walk by while your singing" she said looking skeptical.

   "We don't have any other choice" I said looking around.

  I crawled under the booth right in front of Mahogany's feet after agreeing on a song.

"Did anyone see me?" I whispered before turning my mic on.

  She pretended to tie her shoe.
"I don't think so, just don't move" she said giving me a thumbs up.

"Okay I will be singing fight song" Sam said.

I could here cheers from our table.

I turned my mic on praying this goes as planned.

Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like a single word can make a heart open
I might  only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Proving I'm right song ......

  The song itself went great. There was cheers and whistles everywhere.
 

Now I just needed to get out of here before anyone saw me.

Mahogany grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

I instantly began clapping blending in with everyone else.

One day that will be me in front of that crowd with the biggest smile on my face.
  We all made our way back to the table.

   I sat down in my place in between Shawn and Nash.

After about another hour of eating and vine ideas, I was getting tired.

I looked outside and it was pitch black. I pulled my phone out to see it was almost 11!!!

My foster parents are going to kill me.
  "Uhh Sam we have to go! Like now!" I said tilting my phone so she could see the time she went wide eyed.

  I grabbed some money out of my purse and handed it to Nash so I could pay for my stuff.

  "Bye guys!" We yelled at we rushed out of the cafe.

"Sam they are gonna kill me !" I said panicking as the Uber pulled up in front of my house.

I paid him and we both got out.

"Look just sneak in and don't let them hear you, we have to tell them about you going on a trip with us and blah blah blah, my dad will be with us he knows the plan" she said grabbing my shoulders and looking me straight in the eye.

  I gave her a quick hug and made my way up to the steps.

The living room light was on but they could be anywhere.

I slowly opened the door and then hid behind the bench in the hall.

  I could hear laughter coming from the living room, but now the kitchen light was on.

  I slowly made my way into the front entrance where the stairs and the kitchen were.

At least now I could see it was my foster mom in the kitchen making a sandwich.

  I crept along and got to the stairs.
  I was about half way up when the stair creaked.

Loudly.
 
"Caroline?" My foster mom yelled out.
  I went up the last few steps and hid my bag and shoes out of site.
Then made my hair messy so it looked like I just woke up.

  My foster mom came into view seconds after.

"What are you doing?" She asked holding the sandwich.

"Uhhh I was just getting some water, I'm sorry" I said making my way back up the stairs.

She about to say something but I turned and left before she had a chance to.

That was way to close.

I changed into some sweatpants and a tank top.
  Then set my alarm so that I could wake up before they did so I could get out of the house before they woke.

  I grabbed my phone to see I had 3 messages.
The first from Sam seeing if I made it in. The second from Shawn saying goodnight.

  But third was a unknown number.

It read:

  Nice song choice, U sounded great, and a very good play off with the clapping but when will that be you up there?

  ~XOXO your biggest fan

I've never seen this number before.
I text them back.

Who is this? ~caroline

You have to wait and see, but I will be in the front row watching when it's finally you up there;) XOXO~your biggest fan

  I decided to not text back after that. I was genuinely scared though.
