The one thing Will hated about being famous was the way they changed plans at the last minute. Instead practicing the song at the studio, they would be practicing the song at the dome, where the show was to be held.
He sighed as he entered the large brick building, and then walked through the gold and black doors into the large auditorium.
When Will saw Lizzie jumping around on the long angular stage, his breath was taken away. She looked better than he remembered.
She had taken out her extensions, to reveal above the shoulder spiky hair, and her blue eyes were lined with black, which made them pop. She was wearing a pair of black jeans, with a red t-shirt with some sort of anime on it, and a pair of blue sandals.
And then she saw, Will approaching the stage, her grin immediately disappeared, and a frown appeared in its place.
He just shrugged it off, even though he knew it was his fault for her anger, and then cringed when he thought of what he did to Jane and Charlie. If Lizzie ever found out…well let's just say it wouldn't be good.
--
Lizzie watched as Will walked down the long aisle towards the stage with rage burning inside of her, she was ready to fight. Lizzie looked him up and down, and knew he had a good five inches on her, and maybe twenty extra pounds, but figured she could still take him.
But instead of jumping him, she turned around and pretended she hadn't even noticed him. There would be enough time to notice him later.
"William, I'm so glad you could make It." the choreographer, who was a tall bony woman of thirty, said sarcastically. As Will walked up on the stage.
This caused Lizzie to laugh; he was definitely getting what he deserved.
"Alright, your going to be singing a song called, 'I wouldn't have nothin, if I didn't have you.'" the chorographer said happily, as if it was the greatest idea on earth. While Lizzie on the other hand thought she was going to vomit.
"B-but that's not even a country song." Lizzie protested weakly.
"Honey, that's what makes it pure genius." she replied turning her attention to someone or something else.
I can act. I'll pretend. Lizzie told herself with fierce determination. William Darcy was not going to get in the way of her performance.
--
Two hours later they were running through the song for last time, Lizzie was still refusing to look at Will outside of singing, but both were pretty good actors, so no one knew about their underlying drama.
"Okay." the chorographer said clapping her hands, "Let's run through this one more time."
Lizzie nodded, and took position beside of Will.
The band began to play, and Will started to sing.
"If
I were a rich man," Darcy sang as he popped
his collar, as they began to walk down the stage.
"With
a million or two,"
"I'd Live in a penthouse,"
"In a
room with a view."
"And if I were handsome," Lizzie
rolled her eyes as he sang this.
"It
could happen,"
"Those dreams do come true."
"I
wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you."
And then it was Lizzie's turn, so they stopped walking and turned to look at one another.
"Can
I tell you something," she began to sing,
and lean in closer as if telling a secret, but on the inside was sure
she was going to die.
"For years I've
envied,"
"Your grace and your charm,"
"Everyone loves
you know,"
"I must admit it,"
"Big guy you always come
through,"
"I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you."
And then both began to sing.
"You
and me together," Lizzie began to move
back and forth, while Will followed.
"That's
how it always should be,"
"One without the other,"
"Don't
mean nothin' to me, nothin' to me."
And then it was Lizzie's turn to sing again.
"Yeah I wouldn't be nothin',"
"Aw
now," Will sang, as they began to walk
again.
"If I didn't have you to serve,"
Lizzie began to sing.
"I'm
just a punky little eyeball,"
"And a funky optic nerve,"
"Hey
I never told you this,"
"Sometimes I get a little blue-"
"Looks
good on you," Darcy interrupted with a wink.
"But
I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have you."
"Let's dance," he said, grabbing Lizzie.
"Look
Ma! I'm dancing!" Lizzie said forcing a grin as he spun her
around.
"Would you let me lead?" Will asked.
"Look at
that its two big guys who're light on their feet," Lizzie said
teasingly. "Don't you dare dip me don't you dare dip me don't
you dare dip me,"
and then Will began to sing again as he let go
of her.
"Yes
I wouldn't be nothin,"
"If I didn't have you,"
"I
wouldn't know where to go-"
Lizzie
interrupted/sang "Me too because I-"
"Or
know, what to do "Will interrupted back,
and then asked "why do you keep singin my part?"
And
then they both began to sing.
"I don't
have to say it," Will, sang.
"Aw
say it anyway," Lizzie said.
"Cause we
both know it's true "they sang together.
"I
Wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have, "I wouldn't have
nothin if I didn't have,"
"You." they both finished.
"Great," the chorographer called. "I have never seen anyone, with more chemistry or a spark. I'm so glad I chose you two." she said overly excited while Lizzie thought she was going to throw something or scream.
Me? Chemistry with him? She asked herself angrily. No way! She thought mentally crossing her arms.
While Will on the other hand was more likely to believe it, there was a spark. He could feel it every time he grabbed her when they were dancing, but he wasn't going to admit this aloud.
"Well, I have places to go people to meet. I'll call you for the times of our practices." the chorographer said walking behind the stage, as she waved good-bye.
So that left Lizzie, Will, and the tech people. Lizzie looked at him, rolled her eyes, picked up her purse, and I suppose she was going to jump off the stage but instead tripped and fell over the edge with a loud cry.
Now normally this wouldn't have been a big deal, but the stage was at least five feet from the ground, and so when Lizzie fell she landed on her arm, which caused it to snap.
Will hurried off the stage, to see Lizzie crumpled up on the floor, and her arm was in awkward position, which declared it was broken.
"Ow!" Lizzie cried out, sitting up and grabbing her arm in pain.
"Here let me help." Will said picking up Lizzie and setting her on her feet. "Your arm it's broken there's no way you can drive, so I'll take you to emergency."
Lizzie narrowed her eyes at him, and wondered if she could drive with one arm, or better yet just walk, but her arm a gave a shock of pain causing her to cry out. "Okay." she agreed through gritted teeth, and then tried to walk, but the pain shooting through her arm was so bad she dropped to the ground in pain.
"I guess I'll carry you." he said worriedly, as he picked her up. "Oh! Your heavier that I thought." he said trying to hurry to his car.
This caused Lizzie to laugh through the pain, and the tears forming in her eyes.
When they finally made it to emergency, Lizzie was sure she was going to die her arm hurt so bad, but she didn't and they soon had it all fixed up.
So she sat before the doctor as he began to speak, but not really paying any attention. She was looking at the boring gray walls, and the dull brown chairs, and wondered vaguely who had decorated this place.
"-You'll have to come back in two weeks for a check up, but other than that it should be okay. You were lucky, it was a clean break." the doctor said interrupting Lizzie's inspection of the place.
Lizzie nodded. "Um…can I still dance?" she asked uncertainly.
"Yes, just as long as your not waltzing you should be okay." he said with a wink. "Oh yes, here's a prescription for some pain medication." he said handing her a piece of paper, with the kind of writing only doctors can read.
"Thank you." Lizzie said taking the paper, while getting up-clumsily it was hard with a five pound cast you know. And then walking out of the examination room.
--
Will sighed in relief as he saw her walk into the waiting room looking as good as new, with the exception of the cast of course.
"Good, your okay." Will said coming up beside her.
"What do you care?" Lizzie asked bitterly, as she hurried to the exit, which was revolving glass doors
"Do you think I would have carried you, if I didn't care?" he asked catching up to her in one long stride, which, infuriated Lizzie she hated being short, and now she couldn't even runaway.
Lizzie spun around, which would have looked pretty cool if she hadn't tripped, forcing Will to catch her by her good arm. "You did what you had to, but if anyone had been there I doubt you would have wasted your precious time." she said venom dripping from her voice, while jerking her good arm from his grip.
"The tech guys were there. So face it you need me." Will said grapping her by the waist and jerking her close. "If I hadn't been there, you would have been forced to let one of those creepy tech guys carry you." he breathed into her ear.
"Those tech guys are not creepy." Lizzie replied angrily, trying to escape from his firm grip, and failing miserably. "And I don't need you!" she stated, as she looked into his deeply intense eyes, that were focused completely and fully on her. It caused her heart to jump around, and she was positive he was going to hear it.
"Keep telling, yourself that, maybe it'll come true." he said letting go of her so quickly she staggered back.
That's when they realized everyone in the hospital and their mother was staring.
"I'm sorry." Will said, as he walked out of the hospital. "I shouldn't have done that." he added after he saw she was following him.
"It's fine." Lizzie said crossing her arms, as she tried to control her beating heart. And then began to follow him to his parked car.
Needless to say it was a long quiet ride back to Lizzie's apartment.
"How is Jane?" Will asked as he finally pulled the car in front of the brick building.
"I wouldn't know. "She replied shortly, and then added at his questioning gaze. "She's in Wyoming." Lizzie said opening the car door.
That's when it happened; Will was not going to let her go. There was too much tension in him to let her go like that.
So instead of letting Lizzie leave he did a very un-Darcy like thing, he grabbed her by the waist, and jerked her to him, and pressed his lips to hers.
Lizzie was surprised, she was not expecting that. No most definitely, not that, but then she realized who she was kissing. So she jerked back, jumped out of the car and ran like the devil himself was chasing her.
While Will could only watch, wondering what their next meeting would hold.
Just so you know I have nothing against tech guys, and thanks for the reviews I am looking forward to some more.
