And I am telling you I'm not going
Nessie Pov
I can't believe I am going to do this! I mean I have a good voice. I am soprano. I can hit a high c easily. Me and Beyonce might have the same vocal range.
Alice is dragging us to a karaoke night in Seattle. The 1st winner gets 1,000 dollars.
The second place winner gets 500 dollars and the 3rd place winner gets 100. I can do a lot with 1,000 bucks.
Jake couldn't come because he had a meeting. I will be ok.
We got to Seattle and we waited for the first person to be called. Carp I was first! I groaned. Aunt Alice tapped my shoulder.
"Nessie you are going to do awesome. I have already saw it." she said. I nodded and went on stage.
"I am singing 'And I am telling you' from Dreamgirls." I said smiling. The music started and I began to sing.
And
I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man
I'll ever know.
There's no way I can ever go,
No, no,
no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin' without you.
I'm not livin' without you.
I don't want to be free.
I'm stayin',
I'm stayin',
And you, and you,
you're gonna love me.
Ooh, you're gonna love me.
And
I am telling you
I'm not going,
Even though the rough
times are showing.
There's just no way,
There's no
way.
We're part of the same place.
We're part of the
same time.
We both share the same blood.
We both have
the same mind.
And time and time we have so much to
share,
No, no, no,
No, no, no,
I'm not
waking' up tomorrow mornin'
And findin' that there's
nobody there.
Darling, there's no way,
No, no, no, no
way I'm living' without you.
I'm not livin' without you.
You see, there's just no way,
There's no way.
Please don't go
Away from me
Stay with me,stay
with me
Stay, stay and hold me
Stay, stay and hold
me
Oh please stay and hold me
Miss me
Try and miss
me
Try and miss me
Oh i know, i know, i know you
care
Tear down the mountains,
Yell, scream and
shout.
You can say what you want,
I'm not walkin'
out.
Stop all the rivers,
Push, strike, and kill.
I'm not gonna leave you,
There's no way I will.
And
I am telling you
I'm not going.
You're the best man
I'll ever know.
There's no way I could ever, ever go,
No, no, no, no way,
No, no, no, no way I'm livin'
without you.
Oh, I'm not livin' without you,
I'm not
livin' without you.
I don't wanna be free.
I'm
stayin',
I'm stayin',
And you, and you, and
you
You're gonna love me.
Oh, yeah, you're gonna love
me,
Yes, you are, love me,
Ooh, ooh, ooh, love me,
Love me,
Love me,
Love me,
Love me.
You're
gonna love me.
I got a lot of claps and whooping. I bowed and smiled. My family was shocked. There mouths were practically hanging open. I walked off stage and smiled.
"I didn't know you sing that so high dear." Daddy said.
"You didn't ask." I smiled.
By the end of the night Emmett sung 'Kiss Kiss' from Chris Brown, Alice sung 'Better in time' by Leona Lewis, Mom sung 'Always be my baby' by Mariah Carey, Jasper sung 'Gives you Hell' by the all American Rejects, Daddy sung 'Let me sign' by Robert Pattinson (hahaha random I know.) Rosalie sung 'Too Cool' from Camp Rock.
In the end I won first place, Mom won second, and Alice won third. We were happy. Emmett was pouting. It was funny.
"I can't believe I lost!" he whined.
"Emmett you and Chris brown don't mix." Jasper laughed.
"Yeah..." I was cut off by and awesome song. Alice, Rosalie, mom and I squealed.
"This is my song!" I said happily. It was 'Cupid's Choke hold.' by Gym Class Heroes. Mom turned up the sound. Dad groaned.
"I hate this song!" he moaned. We ignored him and jammed to the song in the car. Emmett and Jasper soon joined in.

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I
got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to
get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been some time
since we last spoke
This is gonna sound like a bad joke (bad
joke)
But momma I fell in love again
It's safe to say I
have a new girlfriend (girlfriend)
And I know it sounds so
old
But cupid got me in a chokehold (girlfriend)
And I'm
afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is
waving (girlfriend)
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And
alka seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love then I
don't know what love is
We even got a secret handshake
And
she loves the music that my band makes
I know I'm young but if
I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a
gun
(ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my
girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much
of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba
da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one
I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem
to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been awhile
since we talked last and I'm trying hard not to talk fast
But
dad I'm finally thinking I may have found the one
Type of girl
that will make you way proud of your son
And I know you
heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long (last
long)
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell
by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
I love it when
she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If
that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da
da)
It's gonna be a long drive home but I know as soon as
I arrive home
And I open the door take off my coat and throw
my bag on the floor
She'll be back into my arms once more for
sure
Like... la lala laaaa
Take a look at my
girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much
of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba
da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one
I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem
to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's got a smile
that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his
tongue
(I'm not done)
She's got eyes comparable to
sunrise
And it doesn't stop there
(Man I swear)
She's
got porcelain skin of course she's a ten
And now she's even
got her own song
(But moving on)
She's got the cutest laugh
I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
(Not
saying one word)
And I would still cherish every moment
And
when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call
it dumb, call it luck, call it love or whatever you call it,
but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like...
Here
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only
one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never
seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look
at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not
much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da,
ba ba da da)
"Is it over yet?" my dad asked with his hands over his ears. We were now in the driveway.
"Yeah it's over." I laughed.
"Good I can't stand that song." he muttered as he got out of the car.
"Now Edward I remember you dancing in the bedroom listening to this song on Isle Esme." mom joked with her arms crossed.
"Ok fine it's an ok song. But you hear it too many times." he said pouting. I rolled my eyes and took me and my 1,000 bucks to my room. I put it somewhere safe and got ready for bed.
I had fun. Even though I was the best singer in my family.
