Forever Unstoppable - Hot Chelle Rae FanFic

Chapter 45

-ELEANOR'S POV-

"Oh, sorry excuse me!"

"Are you Eleanor Evans?" the unfamiliar man asked. He looked around my age actually. He was good looking with black hair going into a modern quiff, a very vintage style. A simple tux covered his muscular body.

"Um yes, and you are?" I questioned.

"I'm one of the models for your aunt's clothing line," he smiled showing a perfect set of sparkling teeth. He had an accent, obviously from the area. He was quirky and exuberant, kinda in my face. "Your aunt has told me tons about you! I'm Jake by the way!"

"Well nice to meet you," I held at my hand but he took me into a huge hug instead. He was making me too uncomfortable.

"You're way more hot that in the pics your aunt has shown me!"

"Um, thanks but-"

"Mind if I buy you a drink?"

Did this kid know I had a boyfriend? He was starting to get pretty annoying, time to crush his dreams, oops...

"No thank you, I should get back to my boyfriend," I grinned proudly and watch his expression that was cocky flicker an ounce of disappointment. I turned on my heels and strutted away to Ryan hiding with Ari behind a glorious pot full of flowers and shrubs. Luckily he didn't see anything just then, him being so protective.

I felt good though, I could handle this myself. The kid just had a little crush on me. No big deal!

"I found you!" Ari squealed as Ryan stood up with her.

"Ellie!!" I spun around to my aunt calling my name, her dress flowing behind her as she walked towards me.

"Eleanor, I have one thing to ask of you my dear," she smiled, "You know how you used to sing with me?"

"Aunt Sally, that was a couple years ago, I mean-"

"You have an amazing voice Ella, please sing for me and my guests on this special day?"

I hadn't sang in front of anyone except my aunt for the past 6 years, because I was closest to her. My voice wasn't horrible, but my nerves were. My mom always loved when I sang, she said it calmed her, made her forget all her stress. There were so many people here, and Ryan, he didn't know I could sing. He looked at me in amazement, like he just found out my biggest secret, which he did...

"You can sing?!" he asked. "Why didn't you tell me?!" he grinned.

"I'm not that good-"

"Nonsense! Get up on that stage, sing me that one song, you know the one!" My aunt ushered me up to the mini stage.

I wanted to do this for her, I did love her and this would make her so happy. But my stomach began to churn from anxious butterflies. I could do this right? I just planned to look right at my aunt. I felt dizzy.

"Um, okay, I guess I could sing one song.." She hugged me and went to tell the DJ. Ryan still had a shocked look on his face, Ari was just clapping for me already.

I followed after my aunt then she ushered me up to the microphone.

"My niece is going to sing for us this evening by my special request!" Everyone clapped, all eyes on me.

[I always imagined her singing this, omg, hope you picture it as well as i do <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AIT78Bxkws ]

Music starts, my hands grip the mic stand until my knuckles are white. My eyes are closed, I don't want to see all the faces staring at me like I'm an art exhibit.

I sing the first verse softly, eyelids pressed together. Then my eyes open themselves for the chorus and I'm taken back..

My mom is crying, already? My aunt is smiling the biggest smile ever, with Bill holding her from behind. Ian, Jamie, and Nash are gaping at me, mouths wide open, jaws almost to the floor.

And I smile.

Molly and Nick just grin like idiots, I don't normally like this kind of attention, but I feel great right now, singing used to make me so happy, and this song is a song I've loved forever.

Ari is back in my Aunt Sarah's arms, so I search the faces for Ryan.

There, there he is.

I sing, "It makes your lips so kissable And your kiss unmissable Your fingertips so touchable

And your eyes irresistible ..."while holding his stare and his hand covers his smile now, in unbelief.

My aunt's eyes are tearing up. I close my eyes, now really into it. I sway my hips a little, holding the mic firmly. I catch Ryan's gaze again, I want to go to him, sing to him, sing with him.

There's that kid from earlier,Jake, his arms are crossed and he's smiling like everyone else.

Done. Applause echos in the room, giving me the chills, Ryan makes his way up to me, his stare not leaving mine. I walked off the platform aimlessly. I hug my aunt, my parents and then he's right in front of me. Not Ryan, but Jake
