Chapter 1: Defying Gravity
"I hope you're happy, my friend."
I ran to the back of the stage as it filled with smoke. Bob was there waiting for me. He quickly put the harness on me as I said. "It's not her. She had nothing to do with it. I'm the one that you want. It's me. IT'S ME!" I felt the rope tighten and I was rising from off the ground.
"SO IF YOU CARE TO FIND ME,
LOOK TO THE WESTERN
SKY!
AS SOMEONE TOLD ME LATELY,
EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO FLY
AND IF I'M FLYING SOLO,
AT LEAST I'M FLYING FREE
TO THOSE WHO GROUND ME
TAKE A MESSAGE BACK FROM ME
TELL THEM HOW I AM DEFYING GRAVITY
I'M FLYING HIGH…DEFYING GRAVITY
AND I'LL MATCH THEM IN RENOWN
AND NOBODY
IN ALL OF OZ
NO WIZARD THAT THERE IS OR WAS
IS EVER GONNA BRING
ME DOWN!"
From down below, Katherine sang, "I hope you're happy."
"BRING ME DOWN! OOOOOOOO!"
The crowd was going crazy. I loved the feeling when I knew I did well. The curtain was closed and I was slowly lowered to the ground and Bob took the harness off.
"Megan, that was amazing!" Katherine said, coming up to me.
"You were amazing too, Miss Glinda," I said, as I walked backstage.
"Megan," the director said, coming up to me. "That was the best time you've sung that song."
"Thanks," I said and I walked to the dressing rooms. One of the make-up artists came up to me and put some more green make-up on my face. When the second act was over and we did our bows, I went backstage to change out of my costume and into my regular clothes.
It was November 29. I hadn't seen Nick since the summer tour. We tried to talk on AIM and the phone as much as possible, but school was crazy this year so I didn't get a lot of free time. Nick said he couldn't come to the show because he had concerts every night. I was going to see him next month because he was coming to do a concert in St. Louis.
I saw Katherine getting out of her big Glinda dress and we walked into the lobby together. It was opening night. My family and friends were coming tomorrow night, along with Katherine's so we really didn't know anyone coming.
We saw our choir teacher, Mr. Buck, and we started talking to him. We talked to a few other people and people congratulated us and said that we were really good. We went backstage again to get our purses when we heard someone say from behind us, "Hello, beautiful." I whipped around to see Nick and Joe Jonas.
"O MY GOD!" I yelled, running towards him and giving Nick a hug. "What are you doing here?"
"I couldn't miss my girlfriend's opening night!" He let go of me and leaned in for the kiss.
"Hello, we're right here!" Joe said.
Nick pulled away, "Sorry," he said and pulled out a dozen red roses from behind his back. "Great job, babe."
"Katherine, you were amazing too!" Joe said, pulling Katherine towards him. He kissed her with such enthusiasm that he lifted her off the ground. When they were done (and Nick and I practically puked) he gave her some flowers.
"So, I thought you had a show tonight!" I said.
"We wanted to surprise you," Nick said. "We actually have to be back on the jet at midnight," he looked sad.
"Wow, you just got here and you have to leave?" Katherine asked.
"Ya, we're really sorry, but duty calls!" Joe said. "We're really glad we got to see the show, though. You guys were amazing. I didn't know you could sing like that!"
"Well Katherine, I hope you don't mind but I'm stealing my girlfriend tonight."
Katherine laughed. "Sure, take her. I'll hang with Joe."
Nick and I walked out to the limo. "My mom, dad, Frankie and Kevin were here too but they wanted to get an earlier flight but I wanted to stay so they made Joe stay with me," Nick explained.
"Did they like it?" I asked.
"They loved it. Defying Gravity was AMAZING! I didn't know you could sing like that! Was it fun being lifted in the air like that?"
"O my gosh you wouldn't believe it. It was really scary at first but then I got the hang of it."
"You still have some green on your face," Nick said.
"Where?" I asked. "I thought I got it all off."
"Right there," Nick said, pointing to my lips. "Do you want me to get it off?" I nodded. He moved closer and gently pushed his lips against mine. It was so good to have his lips on mine again after so long. We started out slowly, our lips moving against each others. My hands locked in his curls, pulling his head towards mine. With each kiss our mouths opened slightly more until our previous kissing would no longer suffice. His tongue was in my mouth and I openly welcomed it. Our tongues explored each other's mouths until there was nothing left to do. We slowly closed our mouths and went back to our slow, closed kissing. Then the limo stopped.
"Where are we going?" I asked him, putting my hair up on a ponytail. Nick smiled and pulled me out of the limo. We were standing in by a large field. "Why are we here?" I asked.
"I thought we could just sit and talk," he said. He got out a picnic blanket and spread it out on the grass. He laid down on the blanket and motioned for me to lay next to him. I laid my head on his chest and he put his arm around me. We laid there for a few minutes, just looking at the stars when he said, "I have to go in an hour." There was silence. "What are you doing this Christmas?"
"Umm, going to my grandma's and stuff. But I really only do stuff on Christmas, the rest of the break I'm not doing anything. Why?"
"I want to spend some more time with you then, I was wondering if you wanted to maybe spend half of your Christmas break with your family and the other half with mine," Nick said.
"I would love that!" I said.
"Ya, so usually at Christmas, since I have some older cousins at college, we usually celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family during the second half of break." He looked down at me, "Would that be ok with you?"
"OK? That would be great!"
Nick smiled. "That's good," he said and he leaned down to kiss me again. "How long is your Christmas break?" he asked.
"Umm, I think 2 weeks. My last day of school is the 19th and I go back the 5th.
"So, my family would just say in California and I could stay with you and your family from the 19th to the 26th then we could go to California for the rest of break," Nick said.
"Did you ask your parents if that would be OK?" I asked him.
"Yes, and I asked yours too. Your mom said I could stay in your guest bedroom."
"O my gosh, this is going to be the greatest Christmas ever!" I said, giving him a hug. Nick looked at his watch and we walked into the limo. When we got home, Nick walked me inside.
"I had a lot of fun today. Good luck with the rest of your shows."
"Good bye, I love you," I said. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I love you too," he said and he walked into the limo. The limo drove down the street and out of sight.
I hope you liked it :D It was slightly corny I know but I still loved it.
Yeah, the French Kissing scene, my friend Katie wrote that. We were sitting in class and I told her to write me a totally amazing makeout scene and she did.
OK, well COMMENT!
