Bad Boys, Good Girls & Me {Editing}

Chapter 22

The day had finally come, and all the nerves defiantly started to kick. I think it did for the whole band I guess. Today was the day of battle of the bands. I’ve never really been that confident with myself, as much as I should be, as people have been telling me, but I think this performance will show people that I am a somebody and I do matter just as much as they do. I mean who would’ve ever thought that I would be the one to bring the three biggest bad boys together. Job well done Sky now you can give yourself a great big pat on the back! Whoohoo!

“You’ll be fine” hunter said while pulling me into a hug.

“I don’t know if I can do this” I whispered throwing all my confidence down the drain.

He broke the hug and made me look at him and said “You might not know, but I know for a fact that you are strong enough to do this. I mean you slept outside for two days, and you had to deal with me constantly being a jerk. I think you can handle one song, besides we all got your back” I looked around to all the guys and I knew that for once I am a somebody to these guys and I do matter.

“Let’s do this” I replied with a smile.

We walked on stage and everyone got their instruments. Looking at the crowd put me off, I mean you know that saying to help people over come stage fright

Don’t worry just picture the audience naked?

Yea it doesn’t work. I think I may have even let out a laugh because the boys all stared at me. Off to a great start Sky! Great start.

Our music teacher introduced us and that was when I realized that this was real. I’m singing in front of like the whole school with the three biggest bad boy’s! Sorry Sky but you’re screwed.

Yea I agree with myself for once.

The song began and we started to play. Everything was going great. Thank God the song started off with Hunter. He started to sing right on queue.

It’s no surprise that we aint in heaven

We’re on the earth.

Then all of a sudden it was my turn and I surprised myself when I actually made a sound. I sang...

But you, you meet me in my darkest cover

 Can't count what you've worked

Most of the song we sang together and he… well they really made me more confidence and it made me achieve things that I never would have thought I could do. The song finally finished and the crowd went wild. I was so happy I swear I couldn’t stop smiling even if I tried. The band broke into a group hug and I never felt so at home and that feeling when you actually feel like you belong somewhere and they actually want you to be there.

“We did great guys!” I practically yelled.

They all laughed and looked at eachother then said in sync (like they have some freaky telepathy thing)

“No you did it”

“That really creeped me out don’t do it again” I said in a serious voice but they knew I was joking which gave them the permission to laugh.

We took a bow and left the stage. We all looked at each other while we were waiting for the results. Feels like live TV. like X-factor, but it was our schools battle of the bands, close enough right?

“And the winner of this year’s battle of the bands is…” Mr. Brent started to announce.

“Ugh I hate it when they pause, makes it so dramatic” Connor said feeling the pressure.

“….Hunter, Skylar, Tristan and Connor!”

We looked at each other and started cheering. We ran up on stage and accepted our trophy. It looked really cool, it was a marble microphone.

We bowed once more for the crowd and went to celebrate.

We had pizza and just talked. It gave Tristan and Hunter time to catch up a bit since they hadn’t talked for a while. And I talked to Connor since I never really got to talk to him beside that one time when he encouraged me beating up Bethany.

***

Tristan drove us all back to our houses like a taxi driver and dropped hunter and I off first.

“Sky, we all have agreed that you deserve this trophy the most. Not only for being an amazing singer but for bringing us back together since we couldn’t do it ourselves” Connor said speaking for all the guys.

I hugged them all and accepted the trophy.

“I’ll never forget this night guys… Thank you” I managed to get that out without letting out a tear. But I knew the water works were coming. I said my goodbyes and ran back up to my room and placed the trophy next to my bed. That night I cried myself to sleep with tears of pure joy and happiness and I’m so grateful that I was put here in this spot.

//Hey guys, so this chapter is mainly saying: you have to find those right people you know they like you for you and you feel like you belong, and not that you feel intimidated by the others in your group.you dont have to feel like you have to be as good as them or that you have to change yourself, because im sorry to say this but if you feel like your friends are trying to make you something your not, i dont think they are the bestest of friends. SHOW PEOPLE YOU DO MATTER! wow that came off really cheesy.

-from now on there will be a moral to every chapter. ill try...///
