chapter 18

===song: Who Needs the World
       by: Nick Carter===

♫♫ Yeah, Oh..
I stare at your face
Into your eyes
Outside there's so much passing us by
All of the sounds
All of the sights
Over the earth and under the sky
Too much cold and too much rain
Too much heartache to explain

CHORUS:
Who needs the world when I got you
Switch off the sun the stars and the moon
I have all I need inside of this room
Who needs the world when I got you
Oh no no

I walk on the street
Talk in the dark
I see peoples dreams just falling apart
I open my arms
Tried to be true
Seems like my only truth is you
Am I wrong
Or am I right
All I want is you tonight

( REPEAT CHORUS )
( EXCEPT THE LAST LINE )

Who needs the world when I got you

BRIDGE :
Who needs the stars so bright and the grass so green and the morning light
Who needs the wind to blow and the tide to rise
Who needs it...I don't know
I don't know

Yeah...

( REPEAT CHORUS 2X )

Who needs the world when I got you ♫♫

===dong: Can't fight this feeling
       by: REO Speedwagon===

♫♫ I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship
Has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I say there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

(Pre-Chorus:)
And even as I wonder I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than
I ever thought I might

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Denielle: Em, you're not a fan, hindi rin kita girlfriend, but I would do anything for you to be my girl, I'm sorry kung nasaktan kita, sinabi ko naman sayo, pinoprotektahan lng kita sa mga taong maaaring mambatikos sayo, sa mga taong gugulo sayo kaso ang pagkakamali ko, masyado akong natakot para sayo, hindi ko naisip na pwede kitang ipagtangol sa kanila, na kaya kong gawin lahat para sayo. Em, I'm sorry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Chorus:)
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Denielle: antagal kitang hinitay, hinanap. nung magkalayo tayo, para akong kinuhaan ng buhay, kahit bata pa lang tayo nun, iba na pakiramdam ko para sayo, iba ung sayang nararamdaman ko, na-realize ko lahat un nung lumalaki na ako, tayo. at ngayong kasama na uli kita, hinding hindi na ako makaka-payag na mawala ka uli saken (naluluha), kung kailangan kong iwan ang carreer ko para lang hindi ka mawala saken, handa akong gawin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running 'round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you girl
Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Denielle: sorry Em, sana mapatawad mo na ako, hindi ko kayang makitang nasasaktan ka, lalo pa at ako mismo ang dahilan, Em, please, I'm begging for your forgiveness, please, wala na akong pakialam kung sino man ang bumatikos sa akin, wala na akong pakiaalam sa pwedeng mangyari sa carreer ko, Emily Prado, I'm really sorry. I Love you so much. Please

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus) ♫♫

habang pinapakingan ni Devon ang mga sinasabi ni James ..
"sana totoo na lang lahat to, sana hindi na lang play" naluluha na si Devon

sa back stage

"Oh my gosh! parang totoo!" hikbi ni Jenny
"yeah! I can feel the emotions too" sabi ni Ann
"oh may gosh, oh may gosh, parang James mean every word he's saying, ung iba wala sa script!" sabi ni Ryan
napatingin sila Jenny at Ann sa isa't isa at tinignan ang script
"oo nga! ang haba ng dinagdag ni James, napansin kaya ni Devon un?" sabi ni Ann
tinignan din nila Ivan at Patrick ang script at napangiti silang dalawa
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interviewer: Oh my God (naiiyak) on national television, kung sino ka man, Emily? forgive Dexter, and please forgive me too, dahil sa programa namin, nag-kalabuan ata kayo ni Dexter
(biglang nawala si Denielle)
Interviewer: asan si Dexter?

(kila Emily)

(umiiyak na si Emily)
Sheena: oh my gosh.. (umiiyak na din)
Nathan: oh God, two girls crying beside me
Nathan: please girls, don't cry..

(curtain close)

narration:
sampung minuto ang lumipas at nahimasmasan na si Emily
biglang dumating si Denielle sa boarding house nila

Denielle: (nakita si Emily at biglang yumakap)
Emily: (nagumpisa nanamang umiyak)
Denielle: Em, I'm sorry, I was a jerk
Emily: (tumango)

(inakbayan ni Nathan si Sheena)
Nathan: why can't we be like that?
Sheena: that what?!
Nathan: (hinalikan sa pisngi si Sheena)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"loko ka talaga Bret, wala sa script un ha?" bulong ni Fretzie
"bakit? si James lng ba pwedeng mag adlib?" sagot ni Bret
"adlib? anong ibig mong sabihin?" naguguluhang tanong ni Fretzie
"ipapakita ko sayo mamaya ung script, wag mong sasabihin kay Devs ha?"
nagtataka si Fretzie, tango lng ang tanging naisagot nya kay Bret
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(curtain close)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
back stage

bigalang pinuntahan sila Devon at James ni Mrs. Perez
inaayusan si Devon ng mga panahon na iyo, maging si James inaayusan din
"bakit po ma'am? malapit na po ung next scene" sabi ni Devon
"kaya nga! minor adjustment time" sabi nito na nakangiti
"ma'am?" takang tanong ng dalawa

tungkol sa last scene ang binago ni Mrs. Perez

...

bago pa matapos ausan si Devon ay umalis na si James

pagbalik sa stage ay laking gulat ni James ng makita nya si Devon
"she's not an Angel, God.. she's a goddess, no, she's more than a goddess" napapangangang sabi ni James
ngayon lng nakita ni James na nakakulot ang buhok ni Devon
simple man ang make-up nya ay litaw na litaw padin ang natural na ganda ng dalaga
napapangiti si James habang tinitignan si Devon
nagulat din sila Ryan, Patrick, Bret at Ivan ng makita si Devon (jaw dropped)
napapangiti naman sila Ann, Jenny at Fretzie sa ayos na ginawa nila kay Devon
ginawan sya ni Ann ng bestidang kulay blue, simple lang ito, pero magaling magdala si Devon ng suot, kaya maganda ang reflection sa kanya ng damit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

narration:
dalawang lingo, puro si Emily at Dexter ang pinaguusapan sa showbiz news pero hindi nila pinabayaan ang isa't isa

(curtain open)
(scene sa date ni Emily at Denielle)
(nasa isang mataas na lugar sila Denielle at Emily, tanaw dito ang mga ilaw na unti unting nagsisindihan sa mga building at mga bahay, at ang araw na palubog pa lang)

Denielle: Em
Emily: hmmm?
Denielle: naaalala mo pa ba ung kanta natin nung mga bata pa tayo?
Emily: (ngumiti) oo naman
