Suddenly I Am Center Stage (Cadence)

[carson]

Carson Davis walked onto the stage. She knew in her heart she was hitting rock bottom. She auditioned for Fiddler and got the Fiddler. She felt a small tear go down her cheek. She wanted and wished to play Chava but she was too late for that role. She began to sing lightly the song she had been working on for weeks for an audition. She loved the song and it was Nobody's Side from Chess.

What's going on around me
Is barely making sense
I need some explanations fast
I see my present partner
In the imperfect tense
And I don't see how we can last
I feel I need a change of cast
Maybe I'm on nobody's side.

And when he gives me reasons
To justify each move
They're getting harder to believe
I know this can't continue
I've still a lot to prove
There must be more I could achieve
But I don't have the nerve to leave.

Everybody's playing the game
But nobody's rules are the same
Nobody's on nobody's side
Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you're out on your own
Nobody's on nobody's side.

The one I should not think of
Keeps rolling through my mind
And I don't want to let that go
No lovers ever faithful
No contract truly signed
There's nothing certain left to know
And how the cracks begin to show!

Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay too long in your bed
Never lose your heart, use your head
Nobody's on nobody's side.

Never take a stranger's advice
Never let a friend fool you twice
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody's on nobody's side
And never leave a moment too soon
Never waste a hot afternoon
Nobody's on nobody's side
Never stay a minute too long
Don't forget the best will go wrong
Nobody's on nobody's side.

Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you're out on your own
Nobody's on nobody's side.

Those words really spoke to her. She knew that she would make more friends and have people. Carson sat down at the edge of the stage and fingered the hem of her shirt as another tear went down her cheek.

Cadence listened to Carson sing, staying quite so she wouldn't notice he was there. 'Wow, she is...magnificient' Cadence thought to himself.

"Your a really good singer" Cadence said. He sat down next Carson on the edge of the stage. "Well at least you are better than I am at singing."

((Still new at RPing so please forgive me for any mistakes I make))

[carson]

((You did fine. Don't worry. ))

Carson looked up at Cadence. "Hey." she said as she wiped her last tear in her sleave, "Ya think so?" She smiled up at him. "You're too kind."

[angelofguitar]

"Of course I think so," Cadence said. "I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it." He smiled back at Carson.

"You weren't crying were you?"

[carson]

Carson said, teasingly "What if I was, Cadence? What would you do about it?" She laughed slightly, "Yeah, I was. But it's no big deal."

[angelofguitar]

"I would probably have to tickle you until you stoped." Cadence laughed.

"You shouldn't cry."

[carson]

Carson laughed a little. "I have a good reason to cry. It might seem stupid to you but it's serious to me."

[angelofguitar]

"Oh yeah, tell me what good reason you have for crying," Cadence said, chuckling a little.

[carson]

Carson shook her head at her best friend. "You'll laugh at me." she said. She thought for a minute and then said, "You promise you won't, Cadence?"

[angelofguitar]

"I pinky swear." Cadence held up his pinky to make his point. "I won't laugh"

[carson]

Carson linked her pinky with Cadence's. "Okay." she said, "I'll tell you. I got the worst role in Fiddler and I've offically hit rock bottom. I'll never be taken as a serious actress if I'm sitting their playing the fiddle and not singing."

[angelofguitar]

"I think that role if anything will make you a more respected actor" Cadence told her. "It shows that you are willing to take on any role." Cadence put his hand on Carson's.

[carson]

Carson smiled lightly at Cadence. "I guess your right. But I don't say anything. And I have to re-learn how to play the violin... don't ask." She shook her head lightly and then placed her hand on top of Cadence's. "If I do this, will you be there to cheer me on?"

[angelofguitar]

"Of course I'll cheer you on in fact I'll give a standing ovation" Cadence smiled
