I was freed when I heard you say.

Broken, Bruised but Beautiful

I reach out past the darkness,

I call your name and I hear your answer,

Though death on the wings of a dove,

Eternally, My Love.

I feared that you would leave me,

I’m sorry you felt that way.

If I could, I would die for you,

And I would do the same.

I might be broken, bruised,

But you’re beautiful

Will you hold me close?

And that much closer.

Can you love me if I say;

Broken, Bruised but Beautiful

We reach out past the darkness,

Pulled together, fate entwined,

Though death on the wings of a dove,

Eternally, My Love.

As the song ends, we take a bow and everyone in the audience begins to clap. There are all kinds of requests for encores and more, but we end the show with everyone coming onto the stage and bowing together. As the curtains draw, Mr. Fasoli comes out onto stage with us, clapping loudly.

“Bravo team!” He exclaims.

“Congrats, you two.” I turn around at Seth’s voice, and by his side is Nolan and the triplets. I guess they dashed backstage when they got the chance.

“Seriously? Were you here the whole time?” Oliver asks him.

“Yes, first row, I even bought tickets for these four.”

“Why didn’t you answer your phone when I called earlier? You could have told us where Amelia was.”

“Firstly, I had no idea where she was. Impact of her actions being blocked from my visions. Second, way more entertaining to watch you lot figure it out for yourselves.” He smirks. Promptly he’s smacked up the backside of the head by Richard.

“And of course, my leads!” Mr. Fasoli comes between Oliver and I, wrapping each arm around our shoulders and hugging us awkwardly. “Well done you both, definitely left an impression!” He lets us both go and runs off to applaud more of the club members. Nolan and the triplets however look stiff.

“Ah, Oliver, what are you-”

“I’m fine.” He cuts Nolan off before he even has a chance to finish his sentence.
