I was sitting next to Skylar and Phillip awaiting the results to see who would move on to the top eleven and who would be eliminated. I was fairly certain Colton, Phil, and I were safe , but you can never be too sure.
Jermaine Jones was sent packing earlier because of his criminal record, we weren't That close so I didn't really care. Skylar and Elise had taken the news pretty hard though.
"Alright next," Ryan said, "Can I have Whitney, Elise, and Jessica?"
I gave Whitney a reassuring smile as she stood up from the couch and walked over to stand next to Ryan.
We looked back over the performances and listened to Jimmy practically worship Jessica and then slam Whitney.
Every time he said something negative about Whitney, she would cringe and look over at me. I couldn't do anything but give her reassuring glances.
"Colton, do you think Whitney might be going home?"
He didn't hesitate, "Yup."
"Colton!"
"What?!"
"You were supposed to tell me no, to calm my nerves."
"I'm just being brutally honest, she wasn't her best last night."
I shoved him, "Please say something optimistic."
Colton sarcastically said, "But Whitney is so pretty, all the guys will vote for her and she'll get through for sure!"
I glared and he folded his hands looking back at the three girls.
"Jessica Sanchez," Ryan said dramatically, "You are...... Safe!"
Jessica squealed and trotted back over to the couches, looking happy as ever.
"Whitney and Elise, I'm sorry to say you're both in the bottom three." I growled and Colton grabbed my hand, but shielded the gesture from the cameras. We decided to keep our relationship a secret from America until, according to Colton's romance novels, they inevitably find out.
The show went to commercial and we sat in silence for a minute.
"I told you Whitney was in trouble." He mumbled.
"Shut up, Colton!" I said jerking my hand away from his.
He went quiet and the make up crew went out to do some touch ups on the first two contestants that were revealed to be in the bottom three.
Whitney looked over at me and tried to smile, but it turned out pretty pathetic.
"And we're back!" Ryan announced, "Now Ash, Hollie, and Colton, get over here!"
We stood up and I was shaking.
"Let's see how Ash did last night, shall we?" Ryan said and the clip started rolling.
I saw myself preforming on stage, my dress looked pretty and my facial expressions weren't entirely strange.
Jimmy's face appeared on the screen, "I personally didn't think that Ash could pull of Whitney Houston, but boy was I mistaken! She blew me away! From the first note she captivated you, and her vocals were spot on. I think she could actually win this thing."
I leaned over as whispered in Colton's ear, "He just jinxed it." Colton smiled and rolled his eyes.
We looked back on Colton and Hollie's performances, they both did so well and got really good feedback.
Colton smiled at me and mouthed, 'I think we are safe'.
I nodded, 'I hope so'.
"All right now let's get to some results!" Ryan said looking us each in the eyes.
