Music Is Me

<Chapter 14>

'What's going to happen when she sees me?'

"Alli? You OK?" Cole asked. "Hm? Oh yes,I'm...I'm okay," I said looking at the curtain. "If your nervouse,its OK. They'll love you,and don't worry, Elizabeth won't do anything. I hope." He said mumbling the last two words. "Gee thanks,I hope she won't do anything either." I said blankly. "Just forget about her." He said. "How? She's literally right in front of me!" I exclaimed. Cole looked up and was thinking. "Dont worry, about a thing,'cause, every little thing...is gonna be alright." He sang. I smiled and sang along. We laughed a bit afterwords. My nervousness went away. "Thanks Cole." I said. "No problem." Cole smiled and hugged me. I hugged back.

"Hello Ladies and gentlemen! My name is Rod and I'm the producer..." I heard Rod start the show. Cole let go and looked me in the eyes. "You'll do great." He said kissing my cheek. "And now,here is Cole Smith!" Rod announced. "That's my que." Cole said and bursted threw the curtains. I peeked threw the curtains and listened to everything.

"Hello people! So as you can see,there are three spots. Right?" Cole asked. "Well,this is new,but all we need is three people. Crazy ain't it?" The crowd nodded. "Ya. So,these two other people are my friends. Ethan Blu,will be on my right." He said and Ethan walked out waving and smiling. "He's gonna be our beat...now y'all are wondering who the other person is arn't you?" Everyone nodded at Coles question. My heart was racing. "Before she steps out,I want to know: how many of you go to McMilton highschool?" Half the crowed raised there hand. "Well,she's from there. And let me tell you,she's been threw a lot. She's,what she's called, an outcased." Everyone started looking at one another and whispered. Elizabeth had a confused look on her face. "No one notices her until she's picked on. But let me tell you,she is a smart,wonderful girl who has a beautiful voice. She has a great personality. So, we have her here on the other side of this curtain." Cole announced motioning to the curtsin. Elizabeth's face still looked confused.

'Does she not know he's talking about is me?' I asked myself. "I'm sure a lot of you are anxious to see who it is...Yea?" Cole asked. Everyone shook there head evan Elizabeth,who was looking at the curtain. My heart rate got faster. "Well then let's get her out her,c'mon out-" he said waiting for me to step out. I took a deep breath and walked out. "Allison Grey." He finished. Elizabeth was surprised but the turned to glaring me with daggers.

Whispers where going here and there. I was nervious. Elizabeth stood up and shouted,"HEY LOOK! ITS THE 16 YEAR OLD DRINKER!" While pointing at me. Evan more whispers went around. I wanted to run off, I took a step back and started trembling. Cole and Ethan saw me and must've thought I would run,because Ethan came to my side as Cole started talking. "Now you might now her from that video,but she doesn't drink. Her father was busy so he asked her to get it for him." Cole backed me up.

"You good now?" Ethan asked. "I don't know if I can do this Ethan." I told him. "You'll do great." He said. "Don't worry,about a thing," he sang. "'Cause every little thing...is gonna be alright." I finished. "See? Everything will be alright." He said smiling. "Ya...everything's gonna be right." I repeated. I walked over to Cole and got him to stop talking. He handed me the microphone. "Hey guys...I'm the 16 year old who,I guess drinks...well no. That's just a stupid rumor some sewer rat made up. But let's stop the chit chat,y'all came for a consert not a ted talk,let's get going with this!" I said getting the crowd wild as they screamed "YA!"

Elizabeth glarred at me evan more. I gave the micraphone back to Cole. (A/n Cole's at the piano,Alli's in the middle, Ethan's on the lonchpad. #1 vid at the very top)
