Tyler grinned "Thanks. I uh..I'm really glad you came, Ruby.."

Ruby smiled shyly,
"Well, I just cleared a few things out of the schedule, I wouldn't miss it." she assured him, lightly brushing his arm to emphasise her words.

Tyler blushed when she brushed his arm, nodding stiffly. "Great.." he said, clearing his throat.

Ruby bit her lip, her old self coming back to her.
"Shouldn't you be back on stage?" she asked him, tilting her head quizzically and giving him the full blast of her penetrating gaze. She needed him on stage, she had to regain some composure, her tore her to peices like no one else.

"Oh, uh..Right..Yeah.." he smiled a bit, going back to the stage.

Ruby slipped back into her seat, already the temperature seemed to be dropping. She fanned herself, "Hot, isn't it?" she asked the man sitting at her table. He chuckled, "Maybe you should take something off..."
Ruby looked a bit disgusted. She did have some standards! Not many, but some. "Ah... no thanks." she politely declined.
Turning back to look at the stage she sighed, he was almost untouchable, she wanted him so much and yet he didn't appear to want her -that- way, and of course now there was Logan, and Max who would gladly kill both of them... it was all too complicated.

Tyler cleared his throat into the microphone, getting the audience's attention. "I'd uh..Like to dedicate this song to a girl I know..Yeah.." he said, before starting to play his song, Meant Something To Me.
"Well a kiss might be just a kiss to you
But baby it meant something to me
And a night to remember might be
Just a Monday in September
Baby it meant something to me.."
He started, singing softly, avoiding eyecontact with the friend he was dedicating it too - Ruby.

Ruby gazed over at him, it seemed as if the other surroundings weren't even there anymore, it was just him. On the stage with her watching. Would this always be how it was? Would he always be too far away, would there always be people standing in between them? Or maybe the lights were too bright around him, she was destined to live in the darkness, she was trapped and couldn't leave. He was obviously destined for a record contract and a huge name in the industry. She couldn't help but believe that she would spend her whole life just watching him.
The song seemed to speak to her, was she the girl? Was that why he couldn't seem to look at her? Seeing him, listening to the song, the feelings he brought up in her, it was all so crazy! She wanted to run, but she couldn't seem to move. He made her feel like a bird being set free, but this particular birds wings had been clipped, so she was free but couldn't fly away.

((Ellie, i'd just like to say: That post was AMAZING. So much feeling! I loved it!))
"And a kiss might be just a kiss to you
But maybe it meant something
Or maybe it meant nothing
Baby it meant something to me.."
He sung, finishing the song. He coughed slightly, flashing a smile to the audience. "Thank you.." he muttered into the microphone, glancing at Ruby, before starting another song quickly.

Ruby sat there, not daring to breathe. She wasn't listening to the new song, the words of the old one seemed to be imprinting themselves into her. It had to be her, the girl had to be her. She couldn't let it not be.
Suddenly she had to be outside, something in here was just too suffocating. She got out of her chair, practically shaking, not caring that she'd knocked it over and pretty much ran out of the bar. She ran around the back, leaning against the wall, trying to light a cigarette but her hands seemed to be shaking too much.
"Fuck!" she yelled at it, chucking it onto the ground and leaning against the wall, her eyes closed. She shouldn't have run out, what impression would that leave him with? But she couldn't stay either.

Tyler cut himself off as he saw Ruby run off outside. "Sorry folks, back in a tick!" he called into the microphone, setting down his guitar and jogging outside after Ruby. "Ruby?" he called, spotting her. He went over, frowning "What was that?" he asked her gently, worried.

Ruby looked at him, hoping to God she wasn't blushing.
"I'm sorry... I just..." she tried to tell him, but she kept cutting herself off. She just wanted to embrace him, but everytime she did it seemed to go wrong.
"You're gonna go far..." she said softly, looking down. Not sure why her eyes were suddenly going blurry. Ruby Walker didn't cry, not over guys. Was she seriously starting to now?

Tyler looked at her, frowning. "No matter how far I go Ruby, I won't forget you, and I won't act like we weren't friends..Never.."

She tried to laugh, wiping her eyes with her fingers she didn't look at him. Friends. She was his friend. The dreaded 'friend zone'.
"I know you won't." she smiled, "I ... I don't know what came over me..." she apologised. She still wouldn't bring her gaze up to meet his. She kept it locked on the floor.

Tyler lifted her chin to look at him gently "Don't be sorry, it's okay..But I ain't leaving you out here. I won't play til you're back in there."
