Walk on the Beach - R5 Fanfic

Chapter 23

"Bring it on baby." Ell yelled as he ran out on stage with Rydel, making everyone behind the curtain laugh. Soon after, Rocky and Riker followed. Leaving Ross behind, he always runs out last.

"Are you ready?!" Ross said screaming over all of the noise, I could barely hear him yet he was right in front of me. Lights from the entire rainbow spectrum were flashing in my eyes and the smell of fake smoke was creeping around.

"Yup, ready.." I tried to yell over all of the noise, my mind trying to grasp my surroundings.

"I'll see you right after." He said turning to see if he should run out yet.

"Okay." I said, and he smiled at me then turned around, running out onto the stage. It took a couple minutes for me to stop staring at him before I walked myself down to the very front corner of the audience. I wedged myself between the corner wall and all of the screaming fans. The room didn't seem like it could get any hotter.

The concert sped, and it was already almost over. I noticed that Ross figured out where I was standing, he kept looking over at me. Of course the girl next to me was freaking out because she thought he was looking at her.

"Alright guys. Here's a little diddy you might know." Riker said into his microphone.

"A diddy?" Rocky questioned, they always had conversations on stage to entertain their fans between songs. Sometimes scripted, sometimes not. While this continued, I noticed a certain pair of eyes just staring at me. Of course it was Ross, I watched as his hand went up to the his mic to start talking too. I crossed my arms and looking around, part of me knew exactly what he had in mind and wanted to disappear.

"But guys, guys, guys..." He said looking at his brothers and pausing.

"What?" They both responded.

"I think we need a little backup on this one." He said staring at me. Shit.

"Oh really?" Riker asked.

"Yeah." Ross responded laughing at my facial expressions.

"Ok, well Ross someone's gotta come up here then." Rocky said laughing a little bit.

This was so planned. All I could think I'm my head right now was how much trouble he was in for this. Ross came over to where I was and grabbed my hand over the security, I gave him a fierce stare then let him pull me on the stage. The cheering got incredibly loud, so I shouted at him. "Are you serious?!" He just laughed. "You're dead." I said as he pulled me over to his mic. I looked over at Riker who was hysterically laughing, then mouthed a not so apologetic "sorry."

I heard the guitar start playing behind me, and quite honestly I thought that I would throw up right now. Ross moved aside from his mic, signaling that I would be singing. I shook my head and covered the mic with my hand. "Oh no, you're singing too."

I grabbed the mic from the stand because it was too tall, I figured now that if I'm up here- I'm up here. I looked at Rocky for some sort of cue, but he was still laughing so I just came in whenever. It was Here Comes Forever, which I already knew, and I knew from singing it with Ross already.

The song got to the chorus and Ross stopped singing and I bent my eyebrows and my voice started to lower.

"Keep going." He said, out of the mic range. I still kept my voice lower and he spoke again. "I'm right here keep going." I rolled my eyes and continued.

The song eventually got to the part where all of the instruments stop and people just clap the beat while the crowd sings. Ross finally had joined back in, along with everyone in the room. Never would I have ever seen anything like this coming. The queasy stomach feeling disappeared and I found myself laughing instead. The last note rung out and Ross turned to me and put his arm around me laughing.

"Sorry." He chuckled, "honestly though you should have seen this coming."

"You're dead." I said shaking my head looking out over all the people, then started laughing myself. "A warning would have been nice."
