Author's Note: Sad one-shot. My last one was happy, so I had to switch it around a bit. I don't own Taylor Swift's song!!

Invisible

"She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile"

My eyes were stinging dryly, as I sang through the mike walking on stage of So Random, playing broken-hearted girl. It was easy though, it wasn't as if I was acting at all. We were having a sketch of a broken-hearted girl who's actually beautiful, and the girl that the boy likes is completely ugly, so that's the funny twist. But the twist in real life isn't that way. Chad totally wasn't in love with me, but instead with that stupid redhead Ellen Hodgins who was the current Mackenzie Falls love interest. And he was right…all his leading ladies fall in love with him. It's pretty sick…the way he adores her.

"She never noticed how you stop and stare whenever she walks by"

Chad looked at me sitting from the audience by her 'as friends', because that's as close as he can get. He seemed a little shocked. Mainly because I knew about how he felt about her, mainly because he burst into my room telling me he liked her 3 weeks ago. I didn't want to hurt him. Let him know that she OBVIOUSLY doesn't feel the same way. She did like him, for the first week that they filmed. But it had worn off once Chad had lost his 'cool'. Funny though, I thought he had more charm once he did. And he drives me crazy, in all ways, but somehow, it kills me whenever he looks at her. Maybe…maybe I just want that for myself.

"And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her
But you are everything to me"

But in time, I was getting sicker and sicker and desperate for him to look away from her. So I made a 'sketch' of this. And wrote a broken-hearted song. Chad looked at me shocked again, and he opened his mouth and then shut it as if he was going to say something. But I think he realized I was on stage in my 'prom' purple dress.

"And I just want to show you, she don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to"

I think he began to realize I was talking about me, him, and Ellen, because soon enough I got a look of pity and sorrow from him. SO not what I wanted his reaction to be…

"And you just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable"

I took a breath, and my throat hitched but I quickly went to my next line, and looked away from Chad and to the audience.

"Instead of just invisible, yeah"

I moved around twirling my dress, getting back in character.

"There's a fire inside of you that can't help but shine through
But she's never gonna see the light, no matter what you do"

Suddenly, he was the one looking sad. He turned to look at Ellen sitting next to him, beginning to see that I was right. But he doesn't have to be sad!! He could have me! I would've given him everything…

"And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be"

My throat was getting powerful, as I realized that this what it felt like. This is what it felt like to be in love with someone who loves someone else. They always say it's hardest to watch the one you love, love someone else. They were damn right.

"And I just want show you, she don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible"

I wasn't the one invisible. But our perfect platonic relationship, if it became real…it would be amazing. But the relationship is hidden, far away only in my dreams. My face was getting hot. Not from blushing, but from how much emotion I began to pour out in the next part.

"Like shadows in the faded light, oh, we're invisible
I just wanna open your eyes and make you realize"

My eyes swelled with a tear,(it still didn't fall) but I turned to the audience, who were in fact not laughing at the sketch, but merely feeling 'my' or the character's pain.

"And I just want to show you, she don't even know you
Baby, let me love you, let me want you"

I sung that part as softly, and gently as I could, as if I was telling him gently, trying to not hurt his feelings. And at the same time, I was trying to let him see that there's another door. That I'll always be here.

You just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible, oh, yeah

A tear rolled down my cheek, as I looked back at Chad. And I improvised and repeated the line of 'Instead of just invisible'.

"She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile"

I finished off, with another tear rolling down my cheek. Chad sat there silently as the audience burst into applause and gave me a standing ovation. I smiled and laughed and thanked them through the microphone.

"And that's it for So Random! tonight!!" Marshall said coming on stage with his own microphone. The rest of the cast came out and we all bowed and I smiled brightly.

As soon as I walked backstage, I saw Chad standing in the doorway. I froze as my heart skipped a beat. I turned around, spinning my head for a way out, but the only way was back on stage. I felt a hand grab my arm gently.

"Sonny!" he said, pleading for me to talk to him.

I turned around, avoiding his eyes.

"What the hell was that out there?" he said lowly and slightly concerned.

I looked up at him, innocently. "What are you talking about…it was a sketch. It's called ACTING. You should try it sometime." I smirked, trying to start a fight so he would forget the topic.

Unfortunately he didn't. "No, no, Sonny I'm talking about why was it about me and Ellen?"

I scoffed, "You and Ellen?! There is no 'you and Ellen', Chad! I didn't know how to tell you about the fact that she DOESN'T feel the same way. I mean… she may have, for a little bit, but… I don't know… I just—I don't know okay." I said running my hand across my head in frustration.

He looked at the floor and then back at me. "So…does this mean YOU have feelings for me?" he asked softly.

I froze for a second, and then scoffed. "Chad, it was written for the sketch. Partly for you and Ellen, yes…but just that."

"Oh," he breathed, and then looked at me again, "Are you sure?"

I nodded but my voice croaked and squeaked, "Yea! Yea, I'm sure."

"Sonny…" he said looking at the floor, obviously realizing that I was lying.

I shut my eyes as they began to water. "Chad, just don't worry about it okay?" I thought for a moment and replied, "It's my own problem."

He looked up at me, eyebrows raised, "Sonny…if you have feelings for me, it'll change things."

A tear rolled down my cheek as I prepared myself for his response. "Good or bad?"

"Sonny, um, don't cry okay?" I nodded, waiting for your answer. Instead of giving it straight to me, you say awkwardly, "I'll, um, I'll see you around."

Then you walk away from me, because we just needed time. You needed time to comprehend how Ellen doesn't like you and I do. And I needed time. I needed time, realizing you don't like me and I have to let you go.

"She can't see the way your eyes light up when you smile." I sang to myself watching you walk away.
