"Damen are you sure about this?" Nat whispered.

            Damen turned to him.

"It'll be easy. We go out there, sing one song and leave."

"If you say so."

            Nat walked off leaving Damen alone. They were backstage at a club. Damen had decided that yesterday they were going to perform here. Ethan agreed right away but Nat was unsure about it. Just like Damen he didn't want people to see him doing something he might be bad at. But they we're going to go out and perform. Nothing was changing Damen's mind about that.

            Damen knew that his mom and her friends were out in the club. He wanted her to see him sing. That's why he was doing this.

"Dude it's time to go." Ethan called.

            Damen nodded and picked up the electric guitar he borrowed from Tom. He walked out on stage. Not once did he look at the crowd. That would only scare him. He saw Tom off to the side with a camera. He was filming like he said he would. Damen was going to send the video to Nick so he could see it too. Damen stepped up to the mike and started to sing.

 

Let me tell you about a girl - Decked out in glitter - Can shine so bright when the lights hit her - And she's wonderful - Like something from a carnival - This girl so nice that's a fact - Beautiful, yes I'll give her that - But she'll play you like a deck of cards - Not playing queen of hearts

If she says she loves you well she's lying - This is no ride you should be riding

Mary go round - You're not gonna bring this fellow down - ‘Cause I know who you are - I know you well - I know what you are all about - Mary go round - Around and around and around  - Around and around and around - Around and around and around

Have you seen this girl? - Warning signs cover the place - Picture's posted with her face - You play this game you'll soon realize - A broken heart is not a prize - She seems so true - You'll think she's into you - She gives kisses away too many - Like her lips are cotton candy

She says she loves you well she's lying - This is no ride you should be riding

Mary go round - You're not gonna bring this fellow down - ‘Cause I know who you are - I know you well - I know what you are all about - Mary go round - Around and around and around  - Around and around and around - Around and around and around

Well step right up, bet you think you have what it takes - Well step right up, bet you it's too late - Step right up, bet you think you have what it takes - Well you don't, no you don't, you don't, you don't, do yah

Mary goes round - And round - Never slow her down - Ohhh - Mary go round - You're not gonna bring this fellow down - ‘Cause I know who you are - I know you well - I know what you are all about - Mary go round - Around and around and around  - Around and around and around - Around and around and around - Mary go round - Around and around and around - Around and around and around - Around and around and around

 

            Damen took a step back and looked at all the people cheering. A smile was on his face as he walked off the stage and into his mom's arms where she was waiting by Tom.

"You were wonderful." She whispered into his ear as she hugged him.

            Nick went into his office right before he went to bed. He opened up his e-mail and checked it. He smiled when he saw one from Damen. He watched the video of Damen's performance. A tear fell down his cheek and he wished that he could've been there in person.
