--Cole--

As we got to the restaraunt, Faith ran up to the door and opened it and ran inside. By the time the rest of us had caught up with her, she was already talking to her uncle.

"Yeah. Here they come now." She said, turning to face us, her smile lighting up the room.

"Ah, so you're the band I've been hearing about non-stop, huh." Her uncle said with a warm smile.

"Guess so." Will said.

"Well, I'll seat you guys at a table for six." Her uncle said, bringing us to a table in the back.

All of a sudden, Faith whispered in her uncle' ear, and whatever she said made him grin.

Then, she turned to us and said. "Guys, tonight is karaoke night. You should totally sing something."

"That would be awesome." I said, grinning.

Faith smiled again. "I'll be right back guys." She said, walking towards the front of the restaraunt.

Being my curious self, I decided to follow her. My excuse was that I was going to the bathroom.

I saw Faith smiling, but it quickly dropped into a slight frown as she looked towards the door.

I turned to see a group of 3 girls walk into the restaraunt, wearing miniskirts and tank tops. The all smirked at Faith, and she rolled her eyes. Then they walked over to us.

"Hey Faith!" The girl in the middle said.

"What do you want Brielle?" Faith replied.

"Nothing, just wondering if the rumors are true." Brielle replied.

"What rumors?" Faith asked, confusion spreading across her face.

"Oh, you know. The ones about you winning the IM5 contest. I don't believe it. I saw your audition tape. It was garbage. If it was me, I wouldn't even consider you. I don't know why they would either. You can't even sing." Brielle said nastily, and I could see tears brimming in faith's eyes.

"Oh, is wittle Faithy-waithy gonna cry because she has no talent?" Brielle said, laughing.

That's when I stepped in.

I came out of my hiding spot and ran up to Faith. "Actually, they are true. She did win. And Faith has the most amazing voice I've ever heard. So back off." I said, standing infront of Faith.

"Oh. You're Cole Pendery." Brielle said, walking up to me. "You're the hottest member of IM5." She said, stroking my arm.

I pulled my arm away. "Don't even try it. I don't care for people who are bullies. Come on Faith, let's go." I said, turning to Faith. I grabbed her hand and pulled her off into a secluded corner of the restaraunt. I noticed Faith was crying.

"Faith, don't cry. Please don't cry." I said, wiping away her tears with my thumb.

"They were right, I don't have any talent. I'm terrible." She said inbetween sobs, looking down at her hands.

"No, you don't. All 5 of us chose you because you're the opposite of terrible." I said, tilting her head up to face me.

"Really?" She said, a faint smile making it's way onto her stunningly beautiful face.

"Really." I said, smiling at her.

Her face lit up and she sniffled a little bit. She wiped her tears away, and looked up to me. I smiled, and grabbed her hand lightly, leading her back to the table.

--Brielle--

That bitch! How dare she win the contest! I was supposed to get famous and rich. Not that little freak. But luckily, I got a picture of Cole in the restaraunt.

I pulled out my phone, and tweeted the picture.

@tigerpop guess who's in Joey's barbecue right now!!!

Guess who's gonna have an interesting life.

--Faith--

We got back to the table, and me and Cole sat next to eachother. After we all ordered, we sat and laughed at random things the guys did. Like Dana blowing his straw wrapper off his straw right into Gabe's ear, or will dancing in his seat to the faint music playing in the background of the restaraunt.

After we had all eaten, I felt Cole's fingers slip themselves into mine. I smiled and glanced to him to see him smiling. Our little moment was interrupted by my uncle speaking into the microphone on the stage.

"Alrighty ladies and gents. You know what time it is. To start off our karaoke night, my niece, Faith winters." He said.

Everyone started applauding as I walked up to the stage. I walked up to the microphone and said. "Hey there everyone. I'm Faith, as you already know, and I would like to introduce my friend Cole Pendery up to sing with me."

I looked over to see Cole making his way towards the stage. When he got onto the stage, I whispered in his ear the title of the song that I wanted us to sing. He nodded, and I smiled, returning to the microphone.

"All right ladies and gentleman. Tonight were gonna start off with a classic.

I closed my eyes, and breathed in and out as Cole began to sing.


"Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind" Cole began

My nerves were starting to come on. I looked to Cole, and he smiled at me. His smile faded my nerves

"Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire" I continued.

"They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be" we sang

"Oh, girl, you stand by me" He sang, smiling at me

"I'm forever yours
Faithfully" We both sang

"Circus life
Under the big top world" I sang

"We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you" we both sang

"And being apart
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you" we both sang

"Oh, girl, you stand by me" Cole sang

"I'm forever yours
Faithfully" we both sang

"Whooa, oh-oh-ooh
Whooa, oh-oh-ooh, oh
Whooa, oh-oh-oh, oh-whoooooa-oh
Faithfully
I'm still yours" we both sang

"I'm forever yours
Ever yours
Faithfully" we both sang, finishing the song.

When we finished, everyone applauded, even giving us a standing ovation. I looked to Cole, and grinned wide. I ran over to him and hugged him. As son as I did, I heard a camera flash.

I looked back out at the audience to see bunches of paparazzi in the crowd between tables. Cameras were flashing, and I held up my hands to block the blinding camera lights. People were shouting out questions at us.

"Cole, who's the special lady?"

"Is she the contest winner?"

"Are you guys a thing?"

Cole ignored the paparazzi and grabbed my hand, and pulled me to the backstage area, then out the back door. We ran to my car, and saw the other guys sitting in the car. We hopped in, and I tossed my keys to Dalton, who was in the drivers seat. He started the car, and we drove back to my house.

Once we got to my house, all of us ran inside my house and closed the door fast behind us.

"How did it go?" My mom called from the living room.

"The paps showed up." Dana called out, as the rest of us tried to catch our breath.

Apparently, that was severe news to Eben. He rushed into the front room where all of us were, a shocked expression on his face. My mom appeared behind him, a similar expression on her face.

"What happened?!" Eben demanded.

"Don't know. Me and Faith were singing, and when we finished, the paps were there." Cole answered.

"I think I figured it out guys. Check it out." Gabe said, showing the rest of us a tweet that was sent to tigerpop.

Then below was a picture of Cole in the lobby of my uncles restaraunt.

"Brielle! I should've known she was behind this. She just couldn't stand the thought of me having a happy moment, can she?" I practically screamed. She ruined everything. I can't believe this.

"Don't worry, it's over, and we're all safe." Eben said. "Why don't you guys hang out downstairs."

All of us nodded, and we headed to my room.
