Players Girl

8. The Sing-OFF

It's been a few days since me and Lucas decided that this wasn't just blackmail anymore. It's was more. I think I love him. We have been on three dates. He said that his parents are never home so that's were we really hang out. Right now I'm in the gym with everyone else because of the sing off today. I'm waiting. And waiting. And waiting. I'm tried of waiting. I'm sitting next to Maya. "Peaches?" I asked looking at her. "Sweetie?" She asked looking at me. "Promise-" I hesitate and take back every word I was going to say. "You know what? N-Never mind." I say shaking my head. "Ok? Anyway we're Lucas?" She asked. "I honestly don't know. I just hope that he's not using me as a toy." Hope. Last time you hoped you were in the hospital yelling and shouting because Of your babies death! Remember? The death that was your fault? The one we're you just saved yourself and didn't even think of him! Your just a whore searching for attention! You can't do anything can you bitch? Jeez no wonder Lucas is with you. Probably for pity. No one loves you. Your a waist of space. Kill yourself! My mind screamed at me. A tear slipped my eye. Just be a sick baby and cry in the corner bitch. You don't deserve to live. Your nothing. Your just another number to Lucas, Farkle doesn't even like you, and Maya is only a pity friend. Demon me said yelling in my face. "And here is our first contestant Missy Bradford!" The principle said. Missy came up there in a big blue bow, 7 inch heels, the shortest blue skirt you could ever imagine, and a shirt that looks like a blue bra. To much. "I'm missy Bradford and I will be singing One Last Time. This is to Lucas frier who is currently dating Riley *cough bitch* Mathews I hope this makes you change your mind of who your with!" Missy yelled into the mic. Then she started. "One more time I promise- uh no that's not it- in one more night I need to promise that I'll take you away!" She sang. One the lyrics were wrong and she sang as it a goat got ran over by a Monster Truck that had 73 other Monster Trucks behind it. There was Sahara, Darby, Ashley, Paloma, Zack, Brandon, Dave, and jace that preformed. Then anther person came on. My mouth dropped once they did. "Hey guys. My name is Lucas Frier and this is to Riley Mathews. "Riley your not just a number to me. Your more. Anyway here is goes!" He said. Tears ran down my cheeks. "I've been looking under rocks and breaking locks, just trying to find ya. I've been like a maniac a zombie at five steps behind ya. Tell them all the girls waiting at the exit 'check please' cause I finally found the girl of my dreams much more than a Grammy award that's how much you mean to me! You could be my it girl baby your the shit girl loving you could be a crime! Crazy how we fit girl this is it girl give me 25 the line! I just wanna rock all night no and out you in the middle of the spot light! You could be my it girl! Your my biggest it girl let me play it loud! Let me play it loud like! Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh!" Lucas sang. After that I left.

After Lucas's performance
"Ok now that that was settled there is one more person to preform." They said. Everyone looked around. "We're are they? Who is it? We're Maya?" Everyone asked. Maya was not around anywhere. Then all of the lights shut off. "Hey!" Everyone yelled. Then they heard a guitar sound come from the stage. Everyone looked. "We are young we are goals trying things we didn't know. Looking at the sky. See it come alive. All our fears became our hopes climb not every locked window. The roar the lions make. Fell upon the rain. We can reach the constellations trust me all our dreams are breaking! Oh no we're never gonna turn to dust yeah all we really need is us! Don't be scared to close your eyes no we're never gonna die we'll be the stars! Oh no we're never gonna step to far! Yeah we're holding on to who we are and when it's time to close your eyes they will see us in the sky we'll be the stars!" She sang while everyone else sang with her. Everyone was shocked about how beautiful her voice was. "And we'll be the stars! We'll be the stars! Let me in hold me close fill my heart with simple notes! So when it's hard to see you'll be there reminding me! Take my breath and hold  me high so I can feel the city lights glowing under me. It's in our reach we're breaking oh! No we're never gonna turn to dust! Yeah all we really need is us! Dorm be scared to close your eyes yeah we're never gonna die we'll be the stars! Oh no we're never gonna step to far! Yeah we're holding on to who were are and when it's time to close your eyes they will see us in the sky yeah we'll be the stars! And we'll be the stars. We'll be the stars! We can reach the consolation trust me all our dreams are breaking. Oh yeah we're never gonna turn to dust all we really need is us so well be the stars!" She sang. She smiled at how happy she made everyone. Everyone cheered for her. I hope this isn't a dream. I thought as I went backstage. I was in skinny black jeans, black ankle boots, a shirt that said Be The Stars in white. My leather black jacket and a black hat. I ran into Lucas. "H-Hey." He stuttered. "Hey back." I smiled. He pulled me close. "Can't sing uh?" He joked. "Not your crowd uh?" I asked mocking him. We chuckled. "Shut up and kiss me asshole." I said. Our lips pressed against each other. "And our winner is..." They yelled. Everything went silent. We pulled apart smiling. "Missy? Are you sure this is right?" He asked. Everyone was shocked. Missy went up there "thank you. I hope that Lucas chooses me." She said while coming toward us. "Did you change your mind?" She asked pushing me away from him. She wrapped her arms around him. I turn around sadly. He was going to pick her. She was rich and lives with two parents and siblings in a big house, I'm poor and live with one parent who is always working and a dead sibling *my fault* in an apartment, she is pretty, I'm a monster, she is popular, I'm an outcast, I'm a no one, I have nothing. He will choose her. "You know what missy. I think I did change my mind. I'm all your babe!" He said wrapping his arms around her. This broke my heart. How could he do this to me? I am just part of a game aren't I. I put on my brave face. I've been prepared for the worst ever since j for here. So many people have left my life. So from now on as soon as I meet someone new ill be prepared for the worst. I thought as I remembered try first time I got in my room. I heard laughs around the room taking me out of my thoughts. I look at see Lucas and missy laughing at me. "What are you laughing at?" I asked. "That you actually thought I loved you. Your face was priceless!" Lucas laughed. I started to laugh to *fake* but it sounded real. "You should have seen your face. You actually thought I had feelings for you. You just got played!" I laughed. I was laughing so hard I started to cry. His face dropped. "What? No No I'm the one that leaves not the other way around Riley. Your the broken one not me! I leave you! You end up crying! You end up watching The Note Book and eating chocolate in bed crying your eyes out screaming LUCAS!! You try to get me back and we have sex! Then I leave you again!" Lucas yelled. "Wow Lucas it's ok. You will love again I promise. I'm not a toy. I knew your whole plan the whole time. I promise we will always have a tree. But for now I'm just not ready for a relationship." I said patting his back. "Good bye CowBoy." I whispered and kissed his cheek.
