It's Hard to Make It Look Easy
Ch.5
About ten minutes later we arrived at a place called Sweethearts. We got out and went inside and sat down at a table. Billy and Aaron were across from me, Nick was on my left and Zak was on my right
"Bri what do you want to drink?" Billy asked
"I'll just have a diet coke, something's telling me I'm the designated driver" I said
"Come on Bri you can have at least one drink can't you?" Zak asked sweetly
"He's right, one's not going to make you drunk" Nick said
"Fine, get me a rum and diet coke and this is the only one" I said sighing
Billy then walked off to get everyone's drinks
"Do you go out and party Bri?" Aaron asked
"No, unless it's my brother's or one of my friend's birthday. And I don't drink that much when it's one of their birthday's" I said
"What about your birthday?" Zak asked
"I still don't drink that much even if it's my birthday, I'm not that much of a drinker" I replied
honestly
then Billy came back with our drinks, he handed me mine first and then handed one to Zak, Nick, and Aaron, he then sat down
"Billy did you know Bri doesn't drink that much?" Nick asked
"Yeah, on my birthday a few years ago we went somewhere to celebrate and she only had a couple then the rest was soda"
we talked for a few more minutes until we heard
"It's time for our Karaoke Night, whoever would like to sing come on up"
Oh boy, a whole bunch of drunk people that are going to try to sing I thought
Someone went up on stage and started singing some song
"Bri, why don't you get up there and sing" Aaron said
"No" I said sternly
"Please" Nick said
"No" I said again
"Bri come on" Zak said
"Guys, I'm not going up there to sing infront of everybody, I get nervous with everybody looking at me" I said
"Just act like nobody's here" Billy said
"No, I'm not getting up there, the end" I said lookng at them all
"Let's make a deal Bri" Zak said looking at me
"Well I've got to here the deal first before I shake on it" I said looking at him
"If us guys get up there and sing a song, you have to sing a song" he said smirking
I haven't noticed before but he's kind of cute and that smirk makes him even HOTTER, wait what am I saying I thought
"You mean you guys getting up there one by one and singing"
"Yeah, so do we have a deal" he said sticking out his hand
"Deal" I said shaking his hand
"Good, Aaron you're first" Zak said letting my hand go and looking at him
"Why me?"
"Because he said so" Nick said chuckling
"Fine" Aaron said and got up on stage
Aaron started singing Tik Tok by Kesha while dancing and me and the guys started laughing
"Go Aaron" I yelled
One he was done he came back to the table and sat down
"Nice job Aaron" I said
"Thanks" he said out of breath
"Who's going up next?" I asked
"I am" Zak said getting up and going on stage
he started singing We will rock you by Queen, and when he was done he came back to the table
"That was impressive" I said
"Why thank you, can't wait to here what you got" he said looking at me
and from the corner of my eye I swear I saw Billy glare at Zak
"So, who's going next?" I asked looking at Billy with concern
"I'll go next" Billy said getting up and going to the stage
What's the matter with him? I thought
he started singing Time of your life by Greenday, and when he was done he came back and sat down
"That was good Billy" I said
"Thanks Bri" he said alittle unhappy
"I'm up" Nick said getting up and going to the stage
he sang Home by Daughtry and then he came back
"Time for you to sing Bri" Nick said
"Do I have to?" I asked whining alittle
"You shook on it" Zak said
"Alright, Alright" I sasid getting up and going onto the stage
Why would they have this song here, oh well, it's my favorite I thought
Then the music started playing Here Comes Goodbye by Rascal Flatts (I changed some of the lyrics for her POV) and I started singing
I can hear the truck tires coming up the gravel road
And its not like him to drive that slow,
Nothin's on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
He usually comes right in, now I can tell
Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain,
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And he was right here in my arms tonight,
But here comes goodbye
I then looked at Billy and started singing again
I can hear him say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on his face that he had never felt this way
One day I thought he'd see me with my daddy by my side
And violins would play here comes the bride
But here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain,
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And he was right here in my arms tonight,
But here comes goodbye
Why does it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and you're left alone
Oh, all alone,
I had tears in my eyes and I took a big breath because I knew that the word goodbye was the longest and highest note
But here comes goodbye
then I had time to catch my breath then finished the song
Oh
Here comes goodbye,
here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain,
Here comes me wishing things had never changed
And he was right here in my arms tonight,
But here comes goodbye
Once the song finished I heard the whole place going wild with claps and whistles, and I blushed alittle and went to the table
"Wow Bri, that was amazing" Aaron said astonished
"With everybody that sang tonight, hands down you won Bri" Nick said
"Where did you learn to sing like that?" Zak asked
"I was in choir in high school and that was it, so I don't know if it was from that or I was just gifted
with it, by the way Aaron why do you have your phone out?" I said smiling
"Uh, I was, uh..." he stammered
"Let me take a wild guess, you recorded me singing" I said
"Yeah" he said
"And what are you going to do with that recording?"
"I was going to uh..."
"He was going to post it to twitter, but I said no" Billy intervened
"Why did you say no?" I asked
"Because you don't like people seeing you sing and if it gets posted the whole world will see it" Billy said
"Aaron, you can post it if you want to, I just sang infront of fifty or more people, who cares if the world sees it, and what is your problem Billy? Ever since you talked to Pam earlier you've been a jerk" I said
"Ok, I think it's time to go, what do you say Zak?" Nick said
"Yeah, lets go, Bri you're driving, Nick passanger seat, Aaron behind Bri, and Billy will be behind Nick, while I sit inbetween Aaron and Billy"
we then paid, got up and left. Once we were back at the hotel everything seemed to defuse
"Can you two get to your rooms without arguing?" Zak asked stopping at his room while Nick and
Aaron walked to their rooms
"Yeah, goodnight Zak" I said
"Alright, goodnight Billy, goodnight Bri" Zak said and entered the room and shut the door.
Me and Billy then headed to our rooms
"Bri, I'm sorry for earlier"
"You should be, whatever is going on between you and Pam, don't take it out on me, I didn't do anything"
"I'm not taking it out on you"
"Then why were you acting like that back there?" I asked turning around to face him as we reached my room
I waited a few seconds for him to answer
"Are you jealous about Zak talking to me or something? Is that why your head inserted into your behind?" I asked getting irritated
he still said nothing so I turned around getting ready to open my door when he turned me around and he pushed me up against the door. He had his left hand on my waist and his other hand was by my head on the door, he then leaned down and kissed me with passion and I closed my eyes started kissing back
Wait, I can't do this I thought
and I broke the kiss and looked down at the floor on my right
"Bri what's wrong?"
"I can't, we can't..."
"We can't what?" he asked letting go of my waist and backing up alittle
I looked up at him with tears in my eyes
"We can't be together, you're dating Pam, remember the song I sang a while ago?"
"Yeah, Here comes goodbye, why?"
"Well guess what Billy, you're in a relationship, I'm looking for one, and it's not going to be you, so here comes...Goodbye" I said turning around, opening my door, going in and shutting it.
I heard him walk away and I went to my bed and got in my PJ's and I then went to bed crying and when I was done I turned on the camera and voice recorder and went to sleep.
The next morning my phone started ringing
"Hello"
"Hey Bri, could you come down here to the base?"
"Sure Aaron, what's going on?"
"Nothing, we just want to show you something"
"Ok" I then hung up and went to the base in my PJ's
I knocked and Nick opened the door
"Well, if it isn't sleeping beauty, how'd you sleep?"
"Not bad, how about you?"
"I slept ok" Nick said
we then walked to the monitors
"So what did you guys want to show me?" I asked
"Why are you in your PJ's?" Zak asked
"Because I just got up" I said with a tone that said 'Isn't it obvious'
"Well, Bri we caught something on the digital recorder in your room last night" Billy said looking at me with sad but hopeful eyes
and I crossed my arms and raised my left eyebrow and looked at him
"And what did you catch?" I asked ignoring his look
he then looked back at the monitor
"Well, when you went into your room and went to sleep we caught something saying 'What's wrong?' any idea what that means?" he said looking back at me already knowing
"I have no idea what it means" I said.
After that I went back to my room and changed, then I went with the guys to take more pictures of the place that they were going to be investigating on the property, then I headed back to the hotel while they done their investigation. While they were doing their investigation me and Billy were getting the equipment that wasn't being used anymore for the investigation in their appropriate boxes so it didn't take us hours the next day to do.
"So, when are we going back to Vegas?" I asked putting a camera in a box
"Tomorrow afternoon, so how did you like your stay at the famous Stanely Hotel?" he said putting the cable into the box
"It was wonderful, I know I'll want to come back someday" I said closing the box
"That's good to here" he said closing the box with the cables
a couple of hours later Zak, Nick and Aaron came in and put everything up
"So how was it?" I asked
"It was fantastic, we tried this new equipment and it worked" Zak said excitedly
"That's good to here" I said giggling alittle because Zak was sounding like a happy kid that just got candy
"Well, I'll see everybody later, I'm going to take a nap before we leave" I said
"Me too" Zak said
"Me three" Nick said
"Me four" Billy said
"And me five" Aaron said
We all took our naps and before we knew it, it was time to go back to Vegas.
"Bri what do you want to drink?" Billy asked
"I'll just have a diet coke, something's telling me I'm the designated driver" I said
"Come on Bri you can have at least one drink can't you?" Zak asked sweetly
