Camila froze when she realized the producer was back in the restaurant watching her. The band tried to play the part again to try and give her a way back on track, but she just froze.
"Baby, keep going." Austin encouraged.
She felt so embarrassed that she ran off the stage.
Shawn stood up and watched Austin run after her. He then sat back down facing Bradford. "I'll get her back out here, just give me a minute."
"My patience is wearing thin young man. Now, I did what you asked now it is time for you to live up to your end of the deal."
Shawn nodded then headed onto the stage. Many of Austin's fans were filing out of the restaurant as Diego played the opening chord and Shawn hummed...
Mmmm Mmmmmm Mmm hmm mmm
The sang...
You've got a hold of me
Don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I'm around you
The fans started coming back in and sitting down again. The place was so crowded it was difficult to move.
Show me an open door
Then you go and slam it on me
I can't take anymore
I'm saying baby
Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have
mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy,
mercy on my heart
As Austin was comforting Camila, she heard Shawn's voice.
"Oh my God."she said then practically ran back out there. She stood there in awe watching and listening.
"How many fucking songs is he going to write about loving you? God dammit." Austin said near her ear.
She turned to face him. "That is NOT what this is about. We are like brother and sister."
"He is in love with you...how can you be so nieve?"
As she turned back to face Shawn, he was giving her occasional glances as he sang the bridge...
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
"Why am I always second to him? Huh?" He said then walked out.
"Austin, wait!"
