“YEAHH!! That was awesome! We rocked hard!” ‘*I Can’t Go On *I’ll Go On’ were screaming with excitement as they exited the stage. The band was jumping around in a group hug with Charlotte when Sa5m backed out, laughing.
“Okay guys, okay. I’ve gotta get a drink.” She walked into the empty refreshment room, leaving the rest of the band to their happiness at how well the performance went. Sa5m grabbed herself a can of Coke and a Twizzler when she heard the door shut behind her. She spun around.
“Hey Sa5m with the silent five.” Sa5m looked down at her Coke where the Twizzler was now being used as a straw.
“Oh…Hi Charlotte.” Sa5m continued to look at her drink.
“I just came to tell you how much I enjoyed that performance…You were amazing.” Sa5m looked up at Charlotte and rolled her eyes.
“So which is it…Are you just being polite or is this another way of trying to make up for before and get back in the group?” These words hurt Charlotte. She looked away from Sa5m. “Yeah, well I’d better…” Charlotte put a hand on Sa5m’s arm as Sa5m turned to leave.
“Sa5m I’m serious.” She moved her hand up Sa5m’s arm and looked into her eyes. “You really were…are amazing.” Sa5m’s usual look of indifference was replaced by one of complete sadness. Charlotte took a step closer.
“Charlotte please… I don’t want a repeat of last year… I don’t think I can go through that again.” Charlotte brushed a strand of hair away from Sa5m’s face and placed a hand on her cheek.
“Sa5m. Last year I…I was a jerk to you, to everyone. I’ve changed Sa5m, I really have.” Sa5m looked into Charlotte’s eyes and leaned forward, placing a hand on Charlotte’s waist. The girls were now inches away from each other when the door was slammed open by Will. The girls jumped away from each other.
“Sa5m we need you on stage, they’re announcing the winners.”

‘*I Can’t Go On *I’ll Go On’ were hanging back watching ‘The Daze’ getting their winner’s photos taken.
“Guys, I’m outta here…” Bug exclaimed, looking downcast as the last of the photographers packed up and left. The rest of the band left with him, leaving only Will, Sa5m and Charlotte. Sa5m looked close to tears, pulling away from Will’s embrace.
“Sa5m, we did good. Sure we didn’t win but there’s always other times. This isn’t like the last time… I mean… sorry I didn’t mean that…” Will blushed as he stuttered over his words.
“I told you not to bring that up Will. God, I can’t believe I agreed to do this again!” Sa5m snapped. Will looked around, at a loss for words.
“Sa5m…I…” Sa5m shot a glare at Will, effectively silencing him.
“Will maybe you should go. I’ll look after Sa5m.” Charlotte cut in.
“Uh…Yeah ok… Call me later or whatever…” Will said as he got up to leave. Charlotte and Sa5m were left alone once again.
“Sa5m come on, it’s just a competition.” Sa5m looked up at Charlotte.
“I know but this is the second time this has happened… Maybe I’m just not that good.”
“Hey! Don’t you ever say that. I’m serious Sa5m, you’re fantastic. Don’t doubt your talent.” Charlotte moved closer to Sa5m, placing a hand to the back of her neck. “Don’t doubt yourself.” Charlotte leaned in further, softly kissing Sa5m’s lips and causing Sa5m to pull back slightly.
“Charlotte I’m sorry but… I can’t… I mean Will likes me and I care about him and…” Charlotte held up a hand to stop Sa5m’s rambling.
“Sa5m I didn’t mean to… I’m sorry I didn’t think…” Charlotte stood to leave, sadness in her eyes. Just as she started to walk away she felt Sa5m grab her arm, spinning her around. Sa5m stepped forward and pulled Charlotte towards her, crashing their lips together. Charlotte was the first to speak when the girls pulled apart. “But Sa5m I thought…” Sa5m cut her off.
“I care about Will. I also care about you. But I’m pretty sure Will’s going to be okay about it.” Charlotte smiled, remembering how Will looked at the band’s cello player when he thought no-one was looking.
“Yeah, I think he’ll get over it.” She grinned, pulling Sa5m back in for another kiss.
