Beneath my old bed

And wonder if you ever knew

They say all the things

My mouth never said

"Somehow one day, one rainy day,

I fell for a smile I can’t have

And yesterday, yesterday we found,

We found ourselves on different paths

"Under s

My heart has saved

And even though we said goodbye

I can’t help but keep hold to my faith

"That out there on some rainy day,

In so for us,

To give us a chance without all this pain

"Soirl and a boy will collide

But this time, this time they’ll stay

Tied as they brave the landslide"

There was an unexpected hush as the last chord sang frouitar, but then I felt hi uitarless by the stool This wasn’t part of our show

I opened asp as he clasped my face in his hands and bent down to crush hisboom of screams and catcalls as he kissed me with passion But I knew those kisses I’d tasted thery kisses

And all I could think, all I could fear, was how this was going to be all over entertainet mad at his worse

Instead I let hio of leaer "Thanks for the reminder"

I put my hand over the mic so the crowd couldn’t hear "What reminder?"

"That no matter how many morons you fuck, you’ll always bethe crowd off even harder, and I swear it took everything in me not to throw ht for co the mic into the stand, I slipped off the stool "That’s all froow We’ll see you soon!"

The yells that accoe were different They were even more explosive, fueled by Micah’s little perfore and he appeared ready to murder Micah

"You okay?"

I shook my head "Let me deal with it"

"What the hell was that?" Gayle cried as we gathered in the wings, the thru that’s been added to the show that I didn’t know about?"

I bet ourof our European tour She was going to be even happier when she heard what I had to say

I glowered at Micah who stared back atthem a show"

"Do you realize that you’ve stirred all that tabloid shit up even worse?" I yelled to be heard "Do you even care?"

"Look, we need to get back out there," Austin interrupted

"Yeah, we do And now thanks to this idiot, I have to go out there and pretend that I don’t want to rip his face off!"

"Oh, come on, Skylar, it was just a kiss!" he yelled

Brandon moved toward him but I clamped my hand on his arm to stop him I stepped forith deathly seriousness "I a to you"
