Leah P.O.V.
I walked up to the bar dreading every step I took. I couldn't believe that Embry was making me do this. Especially because Jacob was going to be there.
"Embry, I'm not sure I want to do this. He's going to be there isn't he?" I asked knowing the answer already.
"I know you can do this Leah. Plus, there will be tons of alcohol to make it better." He reassured me lovingly. I knew that he loved me on some level, but I wasn't ready to address that yet.
"Alright, lets go in." I said uncertainly. We came in just as Rachel was finishing a song. That's right, Leah Clearwater was going to karaoke night at the bar.
"Leah, how bout you go next?" Embry said as he ushered me on stage. I figured as long as I was doing this, I might as well make it interesting.
"Emily, why don't you do a duet with me. And I would like to dedicate to Sam." I declared devilishly. Emily slowly walked up to the stage looking very wary. Then she looked at the song choice and eased up a bit.
"Lets do this." She said determined. She took the other mic and stood opposite to me but still looking at Sam. I could tell this was going to be fun.
I started the song,
"I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.
I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we've caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile."
Then Emily started her part,
"Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
It's gonna just feel so...
It just feels so good."
Then it was my turn again,
"Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!"
Then Emily sang again,
"Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.
It's gonna just feel so...
It just feels so good."
Me again,
"I watched his wildest dreams come true
And not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving..."
Then Emily again,
"Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
It's gonna just feel so...
It just feels so good."
Emily finished the song with a bang. I walked off the stage to go find embry. "You're gonna have to give me a lot more alcohol for me to sing anymore." I teased half jokingly. I walked off to find the vodka.
I got to the bar and ran into the one person other than Sam in the world who I didn't want to run into. "Jacob." I stated like a complete idiot.
"Um…hi Leah…great song." He was obviously uncomfortable. Serves him right, doing exactly what he promised not to do. I was trying to think up things to say when Embry saved me from embarrassing me.
"Hey Leah, I got your drink right here." He said while glaring at Jacob. That was unusual for Embry, he and Jake were usually great friends.
"Um…yeah, thanks. Bye Jacob." I said as Embry gave me a 'We'll talk later' look. I decided to just let it go for now and just get drunk as possible.
About 8 drinks later, I wanted to sing again. So I picked another song and stood in front of my ex-lover.
"I would like to dedicate this song to Jacob Black." I stuttered as I staggered a bit.
"Louder, louder
The voices in my head
Whispers taunting
All the things you said
Faster the days go by and I'm still
Stuck in this moment of wanting you here
Time
In the blink of an eye
You held my hand, you held me tight
Now you're gone
And I'm still crying
Shocked, broken
I'm dying inside
Where are you?
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me
Be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me
Shadows linger
Only to my eye
I see you, I feel you
Don't leave my side
It's not fair
Just when I found my world
They took you, they broke you, they tore out your heart
I miss you, you hurt me
You left with a smile
Mistaken, your sadness
Was hiding inside
Now all that's left
Are the pieces to find
The mystery you kept
The soul behind a guise
Where are you
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me
Be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me
Why did you go?
All these questions run through my mind
I wish I couldn't feel at all
Let me be numb
I'm starting to fall
Where are you?
I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me
Be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me
Where are you?
Where are you?
You were smiling"
I ended the song softly with a smile to show him how much he hurt me. I leaped off the stage to land in Embry's arms. He wasn't expecting it and almost dropped me. I took great pleasure in watching Jacob flinch forward like he was going to catch me.
"How'd you like the song Embry? Was it good?" I asked like the drunk person I was.
"It was great Lee. You should do another one later. Right now you should sit down before you pass out." He said as he sat me down on a nearby chair.
"I thought it described him perfectly." I said devilishly drunk.
"You're kind of a bitch when you're drunk, u know." Embry half joked. We both just started to crack up laughing. I don't know if it was the vodka or the funniness of the situation, but we laughed for a full five minutes before we could calm down.
"So Embry, should I do a nice song for you, or a fucked up one for Jacob?" I asked innocently.
"Well, of course we should make Jacob's day even worse than it already is." He chose uncharacteristically. I wondered again what was going with those two. But I shrugged it off and walked on stage. I saw what song Embry had picked for me knew instantly that this was going to be fun.
Jacob P.O.V.
My stomach churned uncomfortably as Leah walked onstage, I knew she had something up her sleeve and it wasn't good.
"I would like to dedicate this song to my dear ex Jacob." she declared as she started right at me. Then she began to sing.
"Seems like just yesterday, you were a part of me
I used to stand so tall, I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight, everything it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong
Now I can't breathe, no I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything, opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright, for once in my life
Now all that's left of me is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
Cause I can't breathe, no I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me, then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you, it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside anymore
Anymore
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces, can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes"
