Due to this being AU, let's just mention now that both Miley and Lilly sing professionally well. I decided to do it this way so that both women can express themselves and so that, even more so, they can sing duets. ^-^
Miley/Hannah sighed as she scratched at her blonde wig, "Man, I hate the feeling of this thing," she admitted to Lilly/Lola.
"I know, babe, but we had to change our appearances and names to make sure our parents never find us."
Hannah sighed, "Fine," she manage, "but, you know, I'll never get used to this wig." She groaned.
Lola smirked, "Well, Hannah, it's been two months so get over it!"
Hannah laughed and shook her head, "Well, our shift is coming up anyways."
Lola smirked, grabbing her head, "Then let's go, silly Billy," she winked at her girlfriend who laughed.
After their long shift at the small diner, both Hannah and Lola prepared to go on the stage.
"Ladies and gentleman, let's hear it for our very own Hannah Montana and her cute girlfriend, Lola Luftnagle!"
Hannah laughs, "I swear she's got a crush on you," she whispers to Lola, who just blushes looking down.
"Thank you, everyone, and welcome to the Java Smoothie," Hannah smiles saying the proper greeting by heart, "As you all know, my girlfriend and I have been working here for at the Java Smoothie for almost a month and we've been singing for just as long; thank you all for your continued patronage and for enjoying our songs." She smiles, waving to them all.
The crowd applauds and then one guy shouts, "Sing already!"
Lola laughs, "Fine, if you insist, but," she suddenly gets serious, "if no one likes it, we're sending them to you!" She shouts the last part, winking at the guy, who laughs a little awkwardly.
Hannah cues the music, smiling at her girlfriend, who's gotten used to the stage more and more. As the music the starts, it is a soft melody and that Hannah wrote herself with Lola's help. The melody is soft yet haunting, with an ethereal feeling to it.
[Hannah]
There's a mirror that shows me what I hate
And another that shows me what I love.
[Lola]
A family that's abandoned me,
Another that's accepted me.
[Hannah]
A place where I can never know,
And a place where I'm always alive.
[Lola]
A place where I can know that there's
A love for me!
[Hannah]
A place where I can find everylasting memories,
A love for me! To find...
[Lola]
To find...
To find a place for us to stand.
[Duet - ]
Where we can never be alone,
A place where we are never alone.
[Hannah]
Family that loves us, where we can go,
[Duet - ] Never alone, never alone.
[Hannah]
But that is far away,
In reality; my family hates me.
[Duet - ]
For what I've done,
For who I love;
Never alone.
Always a foe...
Never alone, never alone, never alone,
Always the mob never ends;
Never goes away.
[Hannah]
Always, always, a hate-filled voice;
Killer eyes that never ceise.
[Duet - ]
Fathers that hate us,
Mothers that hurt us,
Brothers that kill us,
Sisters that abandon me and you.
[Lola]
Always alone, never a friend,
Until I met you.
[Hannah]
When I saw into your eyes,
I knew, I knew; Never alone.
[Lola]
Always a friend to call my own,
Never alone, never alone.
[Hannah]
Always a friend to call my own,
My very own; my own to call my own.
[Duet -]
I never let you go, no no no no,
I'll never abandon you, my love,
For never will the price become too high for you!
[Lola]
Never alone, never alone, never alone;
Never too high a price for you!
[Hannah]
Never alone, never alone, oh oh oh oh,
Never alone! No, we're never alone, baby!
[Duet - ]
As long as we have one another,
We're never alone! Never alone! Never alone!
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh! Never alone,
Oh baby baby oh baby! Never alone.
[Repeats x 2 / Lola x Hannah]
For I have you...
As the music ends, the crowd cheers and a few people are crying. Although it isn't the saddest song in their collection, it was one of the first they wrote together during their escape from their hometown and it shows their raw feelings of being abandoned yet having hope for the future in one another.
"Another song!" Someone shouts from the audience.
Hannah laughs, looking over to their manager, Stacey, who gives her a nod.
"Alright," she sighs, "but, this next song isn't as hopeful as the last one. So, don't say we didn't warn you; okay?" She looks to Lola and the band, "In your tears?" They all nod.
The band begins to play a haunting melody, much more darker than the last, and as it begins the crowd is silenced by a drum beat that beats every few seconds and timed to begin and end with each stanza.
[Hannah]
In your tears, I find sadness and hurt.
I feel alone and nobodies home.
My father is gone and I feel alone.
Your mother has gone and no one knows.
No one sees the pain underneath your skin.
The blade is close as is my skin.
I want to cut, I want to fall; I want to fail.
I could just lean in and feel nothing but the blade.
I want to know what it's like to die,
I could easily just fall and fade away.
I could just fade away and no one would know.
[Lola]
I would. I would see it in your tears.
I would know what it's like to live and watch you die.
I couldn't live without you. Oh, please, don't leave.
Don't let me fall away without you. I couldn't live.
I'd rather die. Please, do not leave me alone.
I could never do it without you.
Life would never be the same; without you.
Don't leave me alone; I couldn't survive.
Without your tears, I'd feel so alone.
And in your tears, I see a hope.
[Duet -]
A hope for a brighter future;
A hope for a time without the pain.
A hope for a time without the sorrow,
A time where are parents love us.
An understanding forever where,
We can be in love forevermore.
A love that never ends,
Never ceases to amaze us.
Never ceases to amaze us;
In your tears, is what I want to be.
[Hannah]
I want to be,
[Lola]
I want to be.
[Duet -]
In. Your. Tears.
Finally, as the song ends, everyone is in tears. The song clearly getting to them as Hannah and Lola take a bow. Just as much as the song got to the audience, it had gotten to the two artists just as much and they need a few moments to freshen up.
"Thank you everyone," Lola manages to say.
Hannah just waves, following her girlfriend off stage.
Author's Notes:
Just to put it put there, the two songs are my original creations.
