Jake’s P.O.V

As I scan the crowed to pick the lucky fan to come up and sing My Couch with me, my eyes fall on the same girl my eyes met when I was singing Collide. I forgot I was holding a mic, “Madie is that you?” just then the crew above me threw the spotlight on her and the whole crowed was looking at her. Then security helped her out of her seat and up on the stage. I walked over and hugged her and whispered, “Sorry for that” in her ear. She pulled away from the hug and smiled. I speak in the mic, “So what is your name?” she smiles even more and says, “Skye” I smile back and say, “Give it up for Madie” I instantly put my hand over my mouth and looked at her confused face. “I said my name is Skye” I noticed she was looking out at the crowed and spotted someone. Then she checked her phone and spoke into the mic, “Sorry Jake I can’t do this” and she ran off stage. I hollered for her to stop but she kept running so, security went after her.

After 15 minutes they came back empty handed. I got really upset with myself cause that was 100% my fault. But I continued to put up my fake smile and finish the rest of the show. After I sang the last song I hurried backstage. “Wow that was some night” Kevin said following right behind me. “Jake you were amazing tonight and what was up with that girl tonight?” Edgar said to everyone in my dressing room. Everyone just sat there thinking of what happened when I called that girl up on stage.  Everyone was brought back from their thoughts when Scooter came in the room, “Jake tonight was one of your best shows minus the whole girl running off stage thing” I sigh, “Thanks I guess but I want to make it up to her, I couldn’t even imagine how embarrassed it was being called not one but twice Madie instead of Skye” Scooter just rested his hand on my shoulder and said “I know your heart is in the right place but we should head back to the bus and get some sleep before you signing tomorrow” I nodded and grabbed my stuff and headed out the door. I slowed down and stopped Joey, “Hey is there any way you could somehow get that girls phone number?” he laughs at me thinking I was joking. He stops laugh because he sees me being serious, “Oh your serious…Um maybe just ask her for it over a DM on Twitter?” I smiled “Thanks Joey you’re the best” I hurried up and ran back to the limo and grabbed my phone from the charger; I hurried up and tapped the twitter app. I stopped for a second and thought, what is her Twitter name and does she even have one, I shook those thoughts out of my head and just typed in her name Skye. It popped up with over 1,000 possible twitters that have Skye in them. I sigh and place my hands over my face, “This could take forever”

Skye’s P.O.V

Cam was racing towards my house trying to stay under the speed limit. We pulled on my street and I saw no lights on in my house so I let out a breath that I didn’t know I was holding. He pulled in the drive way and I leaned over and hugged him, “Thanks for the best night ever!” he smiled and hugged me back; “Your welcome Skye, I will text you when I get home” I nodded yes and waved as he backed up and drove off. I walked up my side walk leading up to my house thinking what just happened tonight. I kept thinking how Jake sang Collide straight at me tonight but then my mind would go right to where he kept calling me Madie for some reason. Before I knew it I was at my front door, I reached into my purse to get my key, when James opened the door and cleared his throat. “Do you know what time it is young lady” I half smiled “No, sorry me and Cam lost track of time doing our project for school” I say opening the door and walking in the house. “Dressed like that you went over to whatever he is to you’s house and worked on a school project…Bullshit” he grabbed me by the arm and pulled me close to him. I could smell the alcohol on his breath. I tightened his grip on my arm, to the point it started to hurt. “Ouch, James your hurting me” he just laughed and dragged me up to my room. He threw my door opened and dragged me over to my bed, “Now you are grounded until I say otherwise” and he smacked me a crossed the face. I fell on my bed and rolled off on to the floor. He grabbed my phone and walked out slamming my door behind him. I just laid on the floor crying thinking to myself, what did I do to deserve this type of treatment, I brought my knees up to my chest and cried myself to sleep.
