Everyone else had finished and it was now our go. We had moved it outside now because the boys and Ellie decided to be evil and let all of the neighbours hear us. We were on the deck with microphones attached to speakers. We had connected Shannon's macbook to some other speakers and it had the karaoke version of ghost ready to play. We all got in place and the boys and Ellie were watching us. "On second thought... I don't want to do this" I croacked, I had a little stage fright since I was little and it was still there... ish. I ran down the steps of the deck to join them, but, Brad ran up to me and grabbed my arms "you're not backing out now" he protested, pushing me back in place "Brad! Stop it!" I shouted, trying to make him let go "no! You're getting over your stage fright even if i have to hold you in place with chains" he shouted back "I swear to god I'll slap you!" I growled "go ahead" he teased. I sighed, giving in and i went back into place. But, what i hadn't noticed was that Shannon had ran off stage and was in Tristan's arms. "Just go" he whispered to her "one more second. I feel really safe right now" she whispered, snuggling closer to his chest "I know, and after this you can hug me as much as you want" he smiled. She looked up at him and smiled back. Sometimes I was surprised that they hadn't had their first kiss yet. She ran back on stage and Abby pressed play on the macbook and we started to sing...

Shannon: Each time that I think you go

Abby: I turn around and you're creeping in

Me: And I let you under my skin

Abby: 'Cause I love living in the sin
