Let Me Be The One To Save You

Chapter 6

Venus P.O.V

Time Lapse>>>>>>>>>>

One week later.

I finally found the perfect place to work. A nightclub called 'Gold'. I got to work at night. Singing and dancing. Not bad. For the past week I've had someone with me. Mostly Kaitlyn Bryar. But they couldn't get into the interviews. Thank god. So they think I'm a bar tender. Fine by me. It's my first night and I'm out back waiting for my cue. No followers. Finally.

Gerard's P.O.V

I look over at the bar in the nightclub, 'Gold'. No Venus. Out back maybe? I begin to panic after half an hour. Where could she be? Then I look over at the stage as a red headed guy shouts out to the building crowd. "Good evening Gold." The crowd cheers. "Tonight we are lucky to have fresh new talent all the way from England." It can't be. Can it? "You'll fall in love with this lady. And when you do, remember that we discovered her. Without further ado I present Venus."
My eyes widen as she walks out onto the stage. She's wearing black slashed skinny jeans and a black t-shirt with chains hanging from one side to the other. She looks hot. She grabs the mic. "Good evening Gold." The crowd cheer. She gets a few wolf whistles too. "Thank you so much. Now I'm no song writer so I'll be covering Evanescence tonight. Let's start with Going under." The crowd cheers as she nods at someone off stage.
I watch as she sings and dances round the stage. She's amazing. Why didn't she tell us? She finishes the song and the crowd are loving it.

"Thank you." She says. "I'd like to introduce you to a friend of mine." She motions to a smiling black haired guy behind her. "This is Chad Porter. Chad is going to help me sing the next song. Evanescence again. Because she's just that great." The crowd cheer again. "Bring me to life." The music starts. Venus is moving to the beat. I can't take my eyes off of her. She sings three more tracks then heads back stage.

Venus P.O.V

I smile at Chad as he drops down onto the couch back stage. "You tired already?"

He looks up at me lazily. "Too right, dude."

I shake my head. "I'm going to get a coke. Want one?"

"yup."

I shake my head again and head for the bar. Barry the bar tender smiles as I approach. "You were awesome."

I smile. "Thanks. Does that mean you'll pass me two cokes?"

He laughs. Then his face goes straight. "Get your own." He says then walks off.

I laugh then head behind the bar. I grab two glasses and scoop some ice into them. Then I hear a voice as I'm filling them with coke.

"Why didn't you tell me you can sing and dance?" I look up to see Gerard smiling at me. Great. Now he's checking up on me.

"You never asked."

Gerard frowns at me. "Why are you being so off handed with me?"

I sigh as I pick up the two glasses of coke and walk out from behind the bar to set them down on the end. I sit on the stool closest the bar entrance. Gerard sits next to me. "I know you spoke to Jase." He just looks at me. "I also know what he said to you. But it won't make any difference. I will do what I have to. No one can change that."

He stands up and cups my face with his hands. "Please don't do it."

"What's it matter to you?"

"Give me time to change your mind. Please?"

I sigh. "Why?"

"Because I don't want to lose you." He kisses me then rests his forehead on mine, looking into my eyes. "I love you."
