A/N: Okay so I got this idea when I found out Mamie Gummer (Emily Owens obviously) can sing! So I created this scenario scene to a later episode/season; she is going to sing some karaoke! I have it when during the show she tells Will that she doesn't love him, and Micah is feeling betrayed because he found out Emily and Will slept together. So basically both guys kind of hate her guts… And warning: Emily is going to be drunk. I know it's not like her at all, but I wanted to spice things up a bit. Enjoy my terrible fanfiction!
"Emily can sing!" shouted Tyra from across the bar, pointing a finger at Emily.
Emily froze and looked shockingly at Tyra.
"What was that? You want to come up here and sing? Well, what are you waiting for?! Let's get that little lady on up here!" yelled the announcer over the microphone.
Emily began to shake her head, as Tyra pulled her by the arm. Emily finally released from Tyra's strong grasp as they stopped in front of the stage.
"What are you doing? I can't sing!" Emily said in a loud whisper.
"What are you saying? Of course you can sing! I heard you!" Tyra rebutted.
"How?" Emily asked worriedly.
"I cam home right when you were in the shower this morning. I heard you singing." Tyra smiled.
Emily's eyes grew wide and she furred her brow. Tyra rolled her eyes and grabbed Emily's hand, pulling her up onto the stage. Tyra grabbed the microphone and spoke loudly into it.
"Okay people, this is Emily! She's a little shy so I would appreciate it if everyone gave her a round of applause to make her feel a little more comfortable."
The room began applauding and people even yelled Emily's name in a chant.
"C'mon Emily you can do it!"
"Go Emily!"
"Show us what you got!"
Emily smiled weakly. She slowly nodded and reached for the microphone out of Tyra's hand. The crowd began cheering. The lights shunned bright and Emily had to hover her hand in front of her face. She tapped on the microphone which caused a very loud high pitched sound. Everyone covered their ears as Emily quickly apologized loudly. She took a deep breath and began to speak.
"Uhh, hi…my names Emily…I've never really sang in front of a crowd before…so um, please bare with me." She spoke softly.
She turned to Tyra, who had already hopped off stage and was returning back to their seats. She turned around and gave Emily two thumbs up. Emily frowned and turned towards the man who should be the host of karaoke night.
"So, what will you be singing?" he asked.
Emily thought for a second and shrugged. He nodded and brought over his iPad; Emily saw that there was a huge list of songs.
"Pick one, and let me know when you're ready." The host said, extending his iPad to Emily.
She placed her finger on the screen and began scrolling through song after song. She finally found a familiar song and she pointed it for him.
"That one." She said lamely.
The host nodded and grabbed a microphone. "We are going to take things a little slow tonight, alright guys?" He began to walk away but quickly turned back around.
"Oh and no throwing things onto the stage! Last time I had to clean the whole place up, including all the blood!"
Emily's eyes widened again as he whispered, "Whenever you're ready, just nod at me, okay?"
Emily took another deep breath and scanned the crowd. Her eyes finally rested on Micah, who was standing by the entrance.
Micah. I wonder how long he's been here.
She shook her head and continued scanning when she saw Will, sitting in a small booth with another male intern from the hospital. Emily could feel the temperature of the room rise. She felt a sweat fall down the side of her head. She closed her eyes and breathed steadily.
Come on Owens, you can do this. Just sing as if you were alone. Sing as if no one was watching.
She turned to the host and nodded her head. He smiled and pressed a button for the music to begin. Emily closed her eyes again. She listened to the melody and waited for the time to begin the song. She took her final breath and her cue sounded.
She began with the first line. As her voice echoed, Micah's jaw dropped and Will looked at her with desire. She paused and began again. Her voice was angelic and fit perfectly with the music. Her voice began to grow stronger as the song went into depth. Her mind wasn't thinking; all she worried about was remembering the words to the music. She was singing a song about love. It wasn't clear until she repeated the name of the song which was "A Thousand Years".
The crowd stayed silent and followed her every flawless note that she sang. Her hands swayed with the tune; she was clearly into the music as much as the crowd was which seemed like they were in a trance. Tyra smiled happily from where she was sitting and was also blown away at Emily's sweet soothing voice. She would have thought her voice was auto tuned, but it wasn't. It was all Emily; naturally her precious voice.
When the music slowed and lowered a bit, Emily sang her last couple of lyrics and ended with her head held down, away from the audience. As soon as the song officially ended, the whole room exploded into applause. Emily received a kind standing ovation. She smiled and laughed to herself as everyone cheered her name over and over again. She bowed to the audience as the announcer took the microphone.
"Wow wow wow. How about that? What a voice! Personally my favorite performance this year! Everyone, give it up for Emily one more time!"
The crowd burst into loud strong cheers again. Emily blushed intensely from all of the attention she was receiving in the bar. She couldn't tell if they were sober or all drunk, but she didn't mind either way. Once Emily made her way to Tyra, a group of men surrounded the girls.
"Hey Emily you were great!" said a tall, dark, muscular man.
"So good!" said a shorter blonde male.
"Yeah, totally hot." said another.
Drunk, drunker, drunkest.
Emily thought as she nervously replied a thank you to them. But they stayed there, saying how Emily should sing there every night. Micah felt his temperature rise with jealousy as he watched the four men flirt with Emily. He wanted so badly to walk over there, and beat those guys up and take Emily into his arms and…
But Micah shook his head. He was mad at her. He had all the right to be, didn't he?
Will was just as jealous as Micah was; looking back at those losers sweet talking her, he wanted nothing more than to walk over there and pummel those guys to a pulp. But he kept his temper in check.
"Come on; let me buy you a drink. You deserve it tonight." The tall man said.
Emily shook her head, "No thank you, I don't really drink."
The man however, kept reassuring her.
"C'mon, don't you want to hang loose? Have some fun?"
Emily starred at the ground, and then turned a worried glance at Tyra, who decided to help her out.
"You know, we don't even know who you are! Emily doesn't accept drinks from strangers, so…"
The man nodded, set down his drink, and extended his hand to Emily.
"Hello, my name is Jack Tripper."
Emily reluctantly shook his hand and awkwardly smiled.
"This is Steve, Larry and Elliot."
Jack pointed to the other men.
"I'm a chef at the Bistro across the street. I come in here sometimes to take a load off with my buddies. Steve, here is a bartender at a bar across town. Larry is a car salesman. And Elliot is a mall cop."
Jack gestures the men and made his was smoothly back towards Emily.
"Now you're the stranger."
He smiled, lifting his drink to his lips. Emily smiled weakly and cleared her throat.
"Um, well I'm an intern at Denver Memorial." Emily stated.
"No kidding? So you save lives for a living?" Jack asked.
"Uh, sort of. Yeah, I guess you can say that." Emily smiled.
Jack smiled intently at her and asked the bartender for a shot.
"Here you go, and by the way, you were really great."
The bartender grinned at Emily, and she smiled back while softly saying thank you.
"So what song was that?" Jack asked as the other three men listened closely.
Tyra felt left out, but was happy Emily was finally getting some attention, especially from some attractive men, she had to admit. But she also saw how uncomfortable Emily was. Tyra considered taking her friend out of there until she saw a very cute looking girl eyeing her from across the bar. Tyra set her drink down, winked at Emily and made her way across the bar to the cute girl. Emily watched as her friend took off and introducing herself to a very pretty girl.
"Hey bartender, let's have another round!" yelled Jack, as the other men cheered.
Emily felt boxed in, and she wanted to leave. But she was too afraid to say so.
*An hour later*
The men cheered and applauded as Emily finished her fifth shot. When she slammed the glass down, she yelled a 'woo!' Emily crossed her legs and continued on with a funny story she was saying. All the men listened closely, and laughed when she did. Will and Micah both couldn't take it anymore and went towards her. They both reached for Emily, grabbing her arms and pulled her from her seat.
"Whoa! Ha-ha where we going?" Emily giggled.
All the men stood up and stopped in front of them.
"Whoa, where do you think you're going with our lady?" asked Jack, holding up his hands in front of Will and Micah.
All the other men stood and formed a ring around them.
"We're taking her home." Will stated, trying to push his way out of the 'ring'.
But the men weren't budging.
"Hey Emily, you know these guys?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Who these guys? Yeah, only we aren't friends anymore." Emily pouted, but began giggling again.
"Emily listen, that doesn't matter now, okay? We just need to get you home." Micah said, looking worriedly at Emily.
"But I'm having fun here. These guys are my new friends, right guys?" Emily asked.
The men all agreed, and demanded Will and Micah to let go of her.
"You heard the lady, she doesn't want to leave. So why don't you just leave her alone?" Jack said, holding his head high.
Will and Micah had to lift their heads up just to make eye contact with him.
"Yeah Will, Micah, I'm fine. I'm having a blast! This place is great, I love everyone here." Emily hiccupped and smiled sheepishly.
"Em, you're drunk. We're taking you home." Will said, pulling Emily toward the entrance.
Jack stepped in front of him again and pushed his chest back.
"Let her go."
Jack starred into Wills brown eyes intensely.
"Just let me go guys. I can find my way home just fine."
Emily began pulling out of their grasp of her arms.
"Emily please! Cool it, we are taking you home, and that's final!" Micah shouted a little too loudly.
Emily's eyes widened and she began squirming. She then started to scream.
"Let go of me! Let go of me! You're hurting my arms!" Emily shouted.
The whole bar soon turned quiet, and turned their attention to the scene Emily was making.
"Let go of the lady!" Jack loudly demanded, before he raised his fist at Will.
The other men began shoving Micah. Emily managed to break free and step back before all the men scrambled to the floor, beating each other up. The four men stood up and grabbed both Will and Micah and pushed them outside the bar. They landed hard onto the garbage cans. Wills face was covered with blood and bruises, as was Micah's. They lay there, defeated and moaning from all the pain.
Soon, the door swung open, and out came all the men laughing and cheering. Will and Micah then saw Emily, locked arms with Jack, laughing too. Both men looked confusingly as Jack led Emily to his very expensive looking car. Will and Micah could barely get up, but when they tried, they fell right back down again. Their vision was blurred; all they heard was cheering and cars pulling out of the parking lot. Micah then heard Jack.
"Come on baby; let's go back to my place."
Micah looked around and saw Emily getting into Jacks car. His face fell, and tried all his might to stand up without falling over. He noticed Will still lying on the gravel, and yelled his name. Jacks car began pulling out too, along with all the other cars. Micah shouted Emily's name. But he could barely hear himself yell. He fell to his knees as he saw the car quickly turn the corner. He soon lost consciousness.
A/N: So yeah…..I know it's really weird and would never happen in the show, especially Emily leaving with a man drunk, but like I said, I wanted to spice things up. Anyways, I love and miss this show sooo much! Also, please let me know; should I continue? I'm not sure, I feel like it was too stupid, but if you want more, leave a review! Thanks for reading
