Heartbreaker

Chapter 4

Rocky sat engulfed by people. They were chatting here and there about watching their relatives perform. Rocky was just there to surprise Emily. He watched multiple people perform before it was her turn. But once it was he made sure he was the loudest one in the crowd. 

Emily walked up to a stool, which stood in the center of the stage. She sat down, and lowered the mic to her height. Once she was situated, she set her guitar across her lap and placed her shaky hands on the neck. 

"This song is called 'Classic'," she smiled into the mic. 

She started the song, and Rocky smiled once he recognized it. 

"Ooh girl you're shining, like a 5th avenue diamond. And they don't make you like they used to, you're never going out of style." Emily's voice beamed through the speakers. Her voice was like nothing he'd ever heard before, and he was thrown off a bit when she started the first verse. Her eyes sparkled as she looked up into the crowd. Rocky ducked down so she wouldn't spot him. He wanted to surprise her. Every world Emily enunciated made Rocky grin like an idiot. So much that his dimples could be spotted from miles away. 

When Emily finished the song she stood up and said "Thank you!" 

When it was the que to applaud, Rocky clapped his hands together as loud as he could. He would've stood up too, but he didn't want her to see him. At the end of the show, the host came up to announce one more act. 

"We have a special guest closing up for us tonight! Please welcome to the stage...R5!" 

Rocky,Ross,Riker,Rydel, and Ratliff all made their way on stage. They smiled and greeted the crowd, then Rocky announced, 

"This is for Emily," as he shot a smile her way. 

"1...2...3...4," Riker counted them off. 

Rocky started off their acoustic set with the usual guitar riff. 

"Remember that trip we took in Mexico, yeah," Ross sang into his mic. "Hangin' with the boys and all your senoritas." 

Everytime it was Rocky's verse he made smiles and gestures Emily's way. When they finally finished the song the rest of the boys and Delly backed away so Rocky could take center stage. 

Rocky stood in front of Ross' mic stand, and wrapped his hands around the mic. 

"Emily..." 

She shot up in surprise, her hazel eyes meeting his light caramel ones. 

"Please...come up here?" Rocky's voice boomed through the speakers. 

Emily made her way back up to the stage, and stood a few inches from Rocky. He took the mic off the stand so he could talk into it; but still be able to look into her beautiful eyes. 

"Please...please...go on a date with me." 

A hush fell among the crowd, and Emily froze in shock. 

"Just one date," Rocky begged. 

Riker, Ross, Ratliff, and Rydel all watched behind them. 

Emily's pink lips quickly formed into a smile. 

"Okay," she grinned. 

The biggest smile grew on Rocky's face, dimples and all. Then he quickly grabbed her into a tight embrace, swaying her in his arms. 

"Yes!" he exclaimed. 

The crowd cheered and holllered when they finally let go. Rocky's siblings cheered them on as well. Their faces gleamed with pride as they saw their bro go after the girl of his dreams. 

"Thank you!" Riker yelled into a mic as they all piled off stage; Emily following after them. 

The audience cheered one last time, then they got up to leave themselves. 

"So I'll see you tonight?" Rocky asked Emily as they began to part ways. "Pick you up at 7?" 

"Sure," she smiled, as she hopped into her car.
