Be the Music That Saved Me
I guess I should have been more like her.
A month had passed, and thanks to Shawn, the month had passed in a bearable way, I always had someone to talk to and reminice about Ireland, He had asked me out, and of course, I said yes, we hadn't went on our first real 'Date' yet, but we hung out a lot, and I do have to admit, he has saved my life, especially after the first week here, I had no other friends, all the girls here were stuck up cows, and all they ever did was look down at me, and talk about me behind my back, and of course, I heard every little thing.
As for Stephen, well he was now supposedly 'Very much in love' with Anna, I laughed darkly at the thought, as if that would ever happen.
But tonight, Shawn had encouraged me to stand up, and enter the talent show, seeing as I had gotten through the auditions, I had found a song that I really loved, and I could relate to it, just a bit, so now, I was sitting in a seat, with Shawn at my side, waiting for my name to be called so I could go up and sing, and my stomach was doing nervous little flips.
"And now we have Lucy, who is going to sing 'More like her' " I heard everyone clap, and I walked up to the stage, blushing crazily, I took center stage, and looked down at the audience...when did everyone get here..?
I took a deep breath, as the backing track began, I scanned the audience one last time, and my eyes froze on Stephen, who was sitting beside Anna, watching me expectantly, So he cared now? My head was spinning now, with pure confusion, but there was no way that I'm ruining this because of that idiot, I kept looking at him, my stare icy, as I began to sing, after all, It was inspired by him.
"She's beautiful in her simple little way
She don't have too much to say when she gets mad
She understands she don't let go of anything
Even when the pain gets really bad
Guess I should've been more like that
You had it all for a pretty little while
And some how you made me smile when I was sad
You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart
Then you realized you wanted what you had
I guess I should've been more like that
I should have held on to my pride
I should have never let you lie
I guess you got what you deserved
I guess I should've been more like her
Forgiving you, she's stronger than I am
You don't look much like a man from where I'm at
It's plain to see desperation showed it's truth
You love her and she loves you with all she has
I guess I should've been more like that
I should have held on to my pride
I should have never let you lie
I guess you got what you deserverd
I guess I should've been more like her
She's beautiful in her simple, little way"
The backing track faded out, as I looked down at the microphone, I was shocked when the whole hall exploded in cheers and claps, I really never thought I was that good, but then when you sing a song that means something to you you tend to sing more emotionaly, I looked up as I placed the microphone back on the stand, and my eyes widened to see most people standing clapping, and then, walking out the door, Stephen. Coward
Anna was sitting down, her mouth wide open, as if she had just been slapped, or for her...someone probably told her she had a split end.
I walked quickly off the stage, and took my seat beside Shawn, he looked down at me, "You are completely amazing." He whispered.
I smiled slightly, "No I'm not."
"Are too." He said taking my hand.
I felt my phone viberate in my pocket and I took my phone out.
One new message from Stephen:
I realize I have been such a jerk, I'm sorry.
Glad you seem happy with that guy now.
Stephen.
I stared at the phone in pure disbelief, maybe I was just hillusinating?
I saw Shawn glance at my shocked expression, "What's happened?" He asked in a slightly worried voice.
"Nothing..just an unexpected text."
He nodded, looking back at the stage at the next act.
I'm not going to lie, you were.
That's because I'm happy.
You look awfully unhappy with Anna.
As it said sent, I looked up at the stage, I realized that this must be the last act, and the results would be soon.
One new message from Stephen:
Maybe I am unhappy.
I looked at my phone for a minute,
Why?
I hit send, and glanced up at Shawn, he was talking to a guy next to him, and I had this horrible guilt feeling in my stomach, it wasn't like I was cheating on Shawn...was it?
One new message from Stephen:
Because...Anna's beautiful and all...but sometimes pushy.
Okay, so now I was suddenly the shoulder to cry on?
I guess you got what you deserve, I should have been more like her.
You had it all for a pretty little while
And some how you made me smile when I was sad
You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart
Then you realized you wanted what you had
I pressed send, then I hit silent, and threw my phone into my bag.
If he wanted to mess with my head, he'd need to find a better way.
Shawn shook my arm, "The results are on." He whispered in my ear,
I watched the stage, where did the time go?
"...and the winner is.....Lucy!" The guy up on the stage said happily.
I jumped up, hugging Shawn tightly, then I ran up onto the stage.
Letting go of someone, no matter how long it takes, is always benificial in some way.
Music was mine.
In a way Stephen saved me, without doing anything.

The end, I guess.I'm so sorry I haven't updated in so long, but I could never think of anything, and then I heard this song today, and I wrote this in like half an hour.
Thoughts?
