POST 1 – Surprise Surprise

Damien was sitting at his computer screen when his phone beeped across the room. Rolling on his chair he picked up his phone. “Hey, It's Cait, do me a favour and please switch to channel 10, there's something really special I need to show you”. Damien was puzzled, but switched on the TV, finding channel 10 and settling in. The opening credit's of Caitlyn's favourite show 'Glee' came on and Damien rolled his eyes, she knew he hated that show. He went to turn it off, knowing that he could just make Caitlyn tell him what the thing was. But before he could he saw, Caitlyn's favourite character Santana speaking to some girl, they focussed on the girl she was talking to and Damien dropped the remote. It was Caitlyn! He turned up the volume. “Emily, I'm telling you, you should audition, seriously, we need people, and you need friends. Please?” Santana said confident at first and then quieter at the end of her sentence. Damien kept watching as Caitlyn's character nodded. “Okay, I'll see you there” she said walking away as Santana smiled.

They cut to the next scene which was in the theatre where Emily was standing there. “Hi guys, I'm Emily and I'm going to be performing a mash up of 'You Found Me' and 'How to Save a life' by The Fray”. She stepped back and grabbed a microphone as a short brunette whispered to a freakishly tall looking guy “boring”. A man who Damien assumed was the teacher cleared his throat loudly as Caitlyn glanced at Santana and smiled at her as a guy with dreadlocks stared intensely at her. “I’d…I’d like to dedicate this song to an old friend of mine. Someone who left me; and left me with so many questions to answer” Emily said closing her eyes tightly for a second as the music started.

POST 2 – How To Save A Life/You Found Me – The Fray

Step One you said we need to talk

I walked, you said sit down it’s just a talk

I smiled politely back at you

You stared politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right

As I went left and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

You began to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And you should have stayed up

With me all night

If you knew how to save a life

In the end

Everyone ends up alone

Losing him, the only one who’s ever known

Who I am, who I’m not and who I wanna be

No way to know how lost you will be next to me

Lost and insecure

You found me (you found me)

Lying on the floor

Surrounded (surrounded)

Why’d you have to wait?

Where were you? (where were you?)

Just a little late

You found me

You found me…..

Early Morning, Steady breaks

I’ve been calling

For years and years and years and years

And you never left me no messages

You never sent me no letters

You got some kinda nerve

Taking all I was

Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And you should have stayed up

With me all night

If you knew how to save a life

Lost and insecure

You found me (you found me)

Lying on the floor

Surrounded (surrounded)

Why’d you have to wait?

Where were you? (where were you?)

Just a little late

You found me

You found me…..

POST 3 – INTRODUCING SAMUEL

As Emily finished the song, she had tears in her eyes, and she couldn’t even see anyone but Santana and the guy next to her. But Damien; sitting on his couch watching on his TV knew that they were Caitlyn’s tears. Caitlyn’s tears for him. That Caitlyn still felt that she had been left. That he had left her. He sat there lost in thoughts during 2 scenes that didn’t involve anything with Caitlyn. Then he saw the guy with dreadlocks look at her as Emily got books out of her locker. The shot switched to Emily staring at her phone for a second before shutting her locker. “Hey” said the guy. Emily looked to her left and saw him. “Hi” she said smiling shyly. The guy was dressed in classic rock ensemble; skinny leg jeans, a sexy unbuttoned shirt with a singlet top underneath, and his dreads flowed free. “I’m Samuel, I’m in Glee club too” he introduced himself, “I saw your audition…it was hot…Santana was proud of you” he said smiling. “You know her from somewhere?” he asked, realizing she had to. Emily nodded. “I’m Emily…uh, you already knew that” she said awkwardly glancing away and going red. “Does that mean I made it in?” Another awkward pause as Samuel laughed and nodded. “wow, awesome..oh and thankyou by the way….Oh, I was in Santana’s English class in year 7, we used to live next door to each other, then I moved away, and now I’m back for senior year.” She said, finding her map of the school. “What do you have?” Samuel laughed. Emily reached for her timetable as a big bulky jock smashed into her pushing her into Samuel. Samuel caught her as her stuff went flying and a slushy hit her in the back. He held onto her for a minute until she pulled back; tears in her eyes. The screen shot to the bully walking on and laughing then back to Samuel, who stared concerned at Emily. Emily refused to look at him as she picked up her bag, her books and her timetable before slipping off her jacked and putting it in her bag. The screen then moved to a big bruise on Emily’s back, that made Damien gasp even though he knew (hoped) it wasn’t real. Samuel gently touched it and Emily flinched. “That wasn’t from Karofsky” Samuel said softly. Damien assumed that was the bully that just pushed her. The shorter blonde pretended not to hear him. Samuel gripped her other shoulder and forced her face up to him. “Em” he said. Emily shook her head slowly before making him let go and dropped herself down against a row of lockers and bursting into tears.

Samuel glanced around, the corridor was empty. He slid down next to her, and gently took her shaking hand. He didn’t know what caused those bruises, an abusive boyfriend, abusive family or maybe a life threatening illness. But he knew that he couldn’t leave her like this. So he held her hand, wrapped his other arm around her and began singing a song he had found years ago that had helped him through a difficult time.

Post 4 – THE LAST NIGHT – SKILLET

Samuel began singing. You come to me with scars on your wrist, saying this will be the last night feeling like this.  

Emily stared at him; in shock, and surprise, apparently knowing the song. Damien had heard this somewhere before…Caitlyn had put it as her facebook status one time. Just came to say goodbye she sung beautifully. Didn’t mean for you to see me cry I’m fine.

But I know it’s a lie she sung with Samuel before jumping into the chorus

This is the last night you’ll spend alone

Look me in the eyes so I know you know

I’m everywhere you want me to be

The last night you’ll spend alone

I’ll wrap you in my arms and I won’t let go

I’m everything you need me to be

This is the last night you’ll spend alone

Away from me…away from me

Samuel pushed her head against his chest and sung again.
The night is so long when, everything’s fallen

You give me your hand then, I’ll help you hold on

Tonight, tonight

Emily sung the final chorus with a beautiful soft feel to it, nice and quiet
This is the last night you’ll spend alone

Look me in the eyes so I know you know

I’m everywhere you want me to be

The last night you’ll spend alone

I’ll wrap you in my arms and I won’t let go

I’m everything you need me to be

This is the last night you’ll spend alone

Samuel rested his head on her head
I won’t let you say goodbye

And I’ll be your reason why

The last night, away from me,

Away from me…

POST 5 – THE REALIZATION

He lifted her head softly and kissed her forehead before leaning down and kissing her softly on the lips. It was a short sweet kiss before Samuel pulled back, pushed her hair away and whispered. “I promise, this is truly the last night you’ll spend alone.” Then the show went to a commercial as Damien’s phone beeped. “Are you seeing this?” Caitlyn’s best friend and Damien’s long time crush Marissa texted him. “Caitlyn on Glee? Amazing as hell right?” he responded smiling happily.

“Did you know she was going?” Marissa replied.
“Going where?” he asked confused. “On the show? No, it surprised the hell out of me” he finished.
“Damien…Caitlyn’s in America…she’s not coming back for ages you know” Marissa texted. “Was something wrong for her to need to flee the country?” she asked, and Damien smiled in spite of himself knowing he could hear her concern. “We weren’t talking…I had to leave…there were complications…that’s probably why she did though…but I’m so proud of her right now”. His phone beeped one more time as the show came back on. “Me too…I really am <3” and even though he knew that love heart was for Caitlyn; he still felt his heart skip a few beats.
