*Shannon's POV*

Beca was pissed.

No.

Beca was BEYOND pissed.

To be honest, I was a little scared of her. She went on a massive rampage in our room, surprinzingly she didn't damage any of her DJ equipment stuff. 

"Remind me why I agreed to share a room with you again." I say while picking up a lamp that Beca had knocked over. She just looks at me, and not for the first time in last 20 minutes, i fear for my life. I can't help but chuckle and she glares at me. 

"Get out." She almost shouts. "You're annoying me, get out." 

Hey, you don't have to tell me twice.

"Fine." I say cooly and slip on a jacket. "Call me when the beast has calmed down." I say as i leave. 

Beca shouts something obscene as the door shuts. 

Laughing, I turn left, crashing into someone's chest. "Fu- oh hi Rheed!" I stop myself from swearing as i look up at those piercing green eyes. 

"Oh, hey Shannon." He smiles. 

That smile. Melts me every time. 

Yes, I have a crush on Rheed, and it seems be growing by the second. 

"Beca in there?" He asks interupting my thoughts. 

"Well...she is, but you don't wanna go in there." 

Rheed furrows his eyebrows. "Why, what happened?"

I shake my head. "Oh you know, she just transformed into the Hulk, broke a few things, kicked me out."

His eyes widen. "What for good?"

I shake my head again. "No, I don't think so. She just needs time alone." 

He doesn't looked convinced. "Are you sure, i mean, can't i just talk to her?"

He is actually so stubborn. Get it in your head Rheed, she DOES NOT like you. 

"Look, just stop forcing yourself on her, she's got a boyfriend already." I retort, but almost instantly regret it. 

Great way to get a boy to like you, Shannon!

Rheed gives me a cold look. "I was only going to tell her about my gig tonight at Stanley's Steakhouse." 

The bar? Why does he have a gig there?

"Well I to be honest i don't think she cares." I glare at him. Might as well keep the bitchy act going. 

Ok, now he looks hurt. "Fine. I'll see you around." With that he turns around and walks off. 

I slap my forehead. Way to go Shannon.

*Rheed's POV*

Rheed:  ...After nine days, I let the horse run free, 

'Cause the desert had turned to sea. 
There were plants and birds, and rocks and things, 
There was sand and hills and rings. 
The ocean is a desert, with it's life underground, 
And a perfect disguise above. 
Under the cities lies, a heart made of ground, 
But the humans will give no love. 

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name, 
It felt good to be out of the rain. 
In the desert you can remember your name, 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain. 

La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la
La la, la, la la la la, la la la, la, la.

The crowd cheer as I finish the song. "Thank you." I grin and take a sip from my water bottle. The gig is going so much better than expected. The crowd loves! Given some of them are smashed...but still!

"Alright, i'm gonna take a 5 minute break and then i'll be back." The crowd applauds once more and i set down my guitar. 

Stuff A capella, this is what I want to do. 

"Not bad, not bad." I look up and see Shannon. 

"What do you want?" I say bitterly, remembering out encounter this morning. 

She sighs. "I just came to apologize, i was way out of line, i'm sorry." 

Well, she does look sorry. And i do hate fighting with people. 

I sigh, "All good." 

She smiles back. 

A very cute smile i notice. 

"Fancy joining me for a song?" I ask. 

She looks surprised. "Um, sure." 

"Great." I grin and pull up another bar stool for her to sit on. "I think you'll know this one." 

Rheed: Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars

Rheed: I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

Shannon: I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, coudn't I, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Rheed: Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be

Shannon: Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Shannon: I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Oh, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

Rheed: I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Shannon: Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been playing hard,
Sitting, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Both: Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been playing hard,
Sitting, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Rheed: Take that money
Watch it burn
Sing in the river
The lessons are learnt
