"Come on Shann, no hiding out in the wings. We've got a show to finish.  A trophy to win."

I'm still staring in the direction that Hunter left in when Mercedes grabs me by the elbow.  She drags me on stage just as Rachel finishes up her second verse, our cue to take up backing vocals and choreography.

We stuck it out this far together
Put our dreams through the shredder
Let's toast cause things got better
And everything could change like that
And all these years go by so fast
But nothing lasts forever

The crowd is already on their feet again by the time the rest of the girls and I set foot on to the stage, joining Rachel with the chorus and dancing in the background.

Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up

Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights
Have gone too fast

If they give you hell
Tell em to forget themselves
Here's to us
Here's to us

The audience is hanging on Rachel's every word, she's absolutely spectacular. No wonder they let her be featured so often. I don't mind basically swaying in the background on this one.  I had my moment earlier, and I still feel a little broken inside from it.

Just as the guys emerge on the balconies and start singing along with us I lock eyes with Sebastian in the audience.  Everyone is entranced by the show we are putting on, Rachel on the stage, the rest of the girls dancing, the boys above them.  But he is just looking at me, watching me.

How is it possible for one person to be that damn attractive??  I mean it should be illegal how good he looks in that uniform

Come to think of it, he looks even better out of it...

I'm blushing now just picturing Sebastian in all his glory. And he just watches me, smile on his face.

Honestly I could watch him watching me ALL DAY LONG...

Does that make me sound creepy and stalkerish??

I shake myself out of my self induced Sebastian trance and somehow manage to finish the song with the rest of the girls.  We receive a standing ovation from everyone, do our little bows and then leave the stage.

The second we are off the stage I am pulled in to a giant hug and spun around in a circle.  "Anderson babe!  I told you we would rock our song!!  You were AMAZING!!  Did you see how those Warblers were looking at you??"
