No Man's Land

Sing, Dance, Sing Everyone's Watching... (Part 1)

Noah POV

After West and I walk into A-troupe I get bombarded with questions. I can't take it! All the questions are echoing in my brain.
Where did you go? Why did you shout at us? Are you okay? Did you cry?
My ears begin ringing and my head has a throbbing pain through it. I clutch on to my head and crumple to the floor, and into unconsciousness.

2 hours later

I wake up with my throbbing head reduced into nothingness. I stand up and realise everyone has gone. I look at Studio A's floorboards and decide to do something I haven't done in a while.

I sing, I sing the song 'Broken By You.' that Leia and Luke sang to me because they knew I liked Richelle. My voice trails off when I realise Richelle and I sang this song together as a duet once. A stray tear rolls down my face. I wipe it away and look into the long line of mirrors opposite me. Suddenly the song, Broken By You turns on so I dance.

I danced because of Richelle. I danced because we did it together. But this time I dance because I am alone.... as much as it pains me to say it, I think it is my time to leave The Next Step... (Imagine this when Noah sits on the director's chair...)

'Cause I'd love to have my heart broken by you...
I do a quick pirouette and slam myself to the floor purposefully. I straighten myself as I sit down, my legs touching my chest and my head touching my knees. I cry for a while but claps from all around me make me freeze. If those people who I think they are I am dead... I have never sung to anyone apart from Richelle and James, James never told anyone that I could sing and I was glad... The claps die down so I attempt to run out the door, I get stopped by Max, who has a STRONG grip. I try pulling away from him but it is no use. I shoot all my anger out at him as I push him to the floor, everyone gasps, no one is strong enough to push Max. I look at everyone wide eyed as they stare at me shock. I run to my only safe haven in this building. I grab my music equipment and I run to Lost & Found's rose room and sit on the edge of the stage. I look up to the microphone and stand up. I grab hold of it and take a deep breath. I hope this mic is not on.
I start singing an original song I finished as well as playing and recording it. (A/n: I wrote it so it won't be good....)

I remember all those times we played
When did you leave my mind,
I hear all the words I wish you said,
How could I be so blind?
I really wish you won't forget,
Because I know about all the times we met...

When will I know you're there?
When will I hear your voice again?
Is it my fault you don't smile, is it my fault you risk your life?
People tell me not to cry, but how can I listen when you're gone from my world...

I still try to hold on tight,
I won't let you go without a fight.
But you already left my grasp,
When did you move so fast?
You probably don't know,
But I love you with my heart and soul...

When will I know you're there?
When will I hear your voice again?
Is it my fault you don't smile, is it my fault you risk your life?
People tell me not to cry, but how can I listen when you're gone from my world...

My head is spinning like a globe,
But not as fast as your pirouettes go.
When will you come back to me?
I am going to chase you until you see...

When will I know you're there?
When will I hear your voice again?
Is it my fault you don't smile, is it my fault you risk your life?
People tell me not to cry, but how can I listen when you're gone from my world...
Gone from my world...
Risking your life,
gone from my hold.
Gone

I put the microphone in the hold and was about to step off the stage when I see Mr T and Luke run in. Their gazes reach to me and to the microphone behind me and finally to the equipment. I look at the floor avoiding the states.

Luke POV

Leia and I are sitting in the Java Junction when I hear someone singing.. I look around to realise it is coming from the speakers... THE ROSE ROOM!
Wait... Is that Noah? My eyes dart to Leia and I wave good bye and run to find Mr T. By the time I found Mr T, I was out of breath. Mr T stares at me weirdly.
"Noah... Singing... Amazing... Original song... Rose room..." I say through the pants.
