The Beginning of The End?
Chapter Ten: Here Without You
"I fell (I fell), so fast (so fast) I can't hold myself, back. High heels (high heels), red dress (red dress) all by yourself, gotta catch my breath. I'm slippin' into the lava and I'm tryna keep from going under. Baby you turn the temperature hotter, 'cause I'm burning up, burning up with you baby. Walk in the room. All I can see is you (oh). Starin' me down… I know ya feel it too. I'm slippin' into the lava and I'm tryna keep from going under. Baby you turn the temperature hotter, 'cause I'm burning up, burning up with you baby. I'm slippin' into the lava and I'm tryna keep from going under. Baby you turn the temperature hotter, 'cause I'm burning up, burning up with you baby. Burnin' up, burnin' up with you baby…"
It wasn't until she was called upon, that she had come out of her complete daze that she was in. "So, what'd you think?" Nick had asked her, of course hoping for a great response, but even if she didn't give one, it was music. It was unique to the creator as well as to the fans. They were what kept an artist and / or group going, they truly did. She grinned, her shining lips almost taking his very breath away. Actually everything about her was probably the cause of that.
"It's a great song. Whoever it was meant for is lucky to have such an admirer." 'Hannah' told him, biting her lip in anticipation towards the next statement that would come out of his mouth. It was kind of a funny thought, but she had never really cared about what someone would say next so much before. That was definitely new. But new was a good thing. A very good thing.
"Well, I do believe they are. Even if y'know, I'm not quite sure who it's for just yet, but I think you've given me quite a big clue as to who it might be for." He told her with a smile, quickly glancing her up and down. Of course he was a respectful young man, but he truly couldn't help but to notice how, hot she looked. Wow. She literally took his breath away. No other girl had really done that to him before.
"Well, it looks like it's show time for me… will you be around after my song?" He nodded sheepishly and blushed, and she smiled radiantly. "Perfect." It wasn't long before 'Hannah' was handed a rhinestone studded microphone and she made her way up to the set – up stage for her to perform. "Hey Seaview High, how y'all doin' tonight?" She exclaimed excitedly. Of course the crowd was just as enthusiastic as she was, which was how she could tell that it would be a good night for everyone. "Are you ready to blow the roof off of this place?" After a loud thunderous applause she knew that they were more than ready. "Have you ever, just started falling for someone and… liked it? I've got just the song for that situation." The blond popstar glanced back at her band and the music began right then and there.
"Great, so she's already seeing someone else?" Nick question aloud to himself, his heart taking a bit of a plummet toward his stomach, until another blond girl abruptly made her presence known.
"No, no she's not seeing anyone." Nick raised his right eyebrow in question, how would a student know who Hannah Montana was dating? It was a rather puzzling thought. "It would be all over the tabloids, duh…" Lilly covered up nervously. He blushed and had to admit that it was most likely true. If Hannah Montana was seeing someone, it would have been plastered all over magazines and such. So perhaps she was single? And if she was, was she ready to mingle, specifically with him? Oh how he hoped so.
"Smooth talkin', so rockin'. He's got everything that a girl's wantin'. Guitar cutie and he plays it groovy. And I can't keep myself from doin' somethin' stupid. I think I'm really fallin' for his smile. Yeah butterflies when he says my name… hey! He's got somethin' special. He's got somethin' special and when he's lookin' at me I wanna get all sentimental. He's got somethin' special. He's got somethin' special. I can hardly breathe; somethin's tellin' me maybe he could be the one. He could be the one, he could be the one. He could be the one, he could be the one. He could be the one." To see her perform was quite amazing. Nick himself felt rather, star struck actually. She seemed like such a down to earth girl and then for her to get all up on stage with fans calling out her name, she seemed so grateful for every fan she had. "He's lightnin', sparks are flyin'. Everywhere I go he's always on my mind and I'm goin' crazy about him lately. And I can't help myself from how my heart is racin'. Think I'm really diggin' on his vibe; he really blows me away… hey! He's got somethin' special. He's got somethin' special and when he's lookin' at me I wanna get all sentimental. He's got somethin' special. He's got somethin' special. I can hardly breathe; somethin's tellin' me maybe he could be the one. He could be the one, he could be the one. He could be the one, he could be the one. He could be the one." Even if she was tired, she didn't show it at all. She just brushed it off with a smile and a heavy blush caressed her cheeks as she glanced at Nick and went back to her song. "And he's got a way of makin' me feel, like everything I do is perfectly fine. The stars are aligned when I'm with him and I'm so into it! He's got somethin' special. He's got somethin' special and when he's lookin' at me I wanna get all sentimental. He's got somethin' special. He's got somethin' special. I can hardly breathe; somethin's tellin' me maybe he could be the one. He could be the one, he could be the one. He could be the one, he could be the one. He could be the one." She smiled out upon her crowd and then she gave a small wave to Nick which caused his brothers to tease him about how he was more 'red' in the face than a fire truck. "You're all amazing! I think I've got another song up my sleeve before giving the DJ a chance to shine, so here goes nothing and I hope you enjoy it. It might take you back though; I know it definitely takes me back." She lightly joked with a giggle and smile as her band took care of the music once again.
"Man, she's amazing. I mean… wow." Nick stated breathlessly. He couldn't even take his eyes off of her shimmery black dress, nor her back - side. She began to get into the music and dance a little bit before opening her mouth to sing.
"Sometimes I walk a little faster in the school hallway just to get next to you. Some days I spend a little time in the morning just to impress you. Guess you don't notice, guess you don't need this and you're not seein' what you're missin' on the outside shyin' away, on the inside dyin' to say… I'm unusual not so typical, way too smart to be waitin' around. Tai Chi practicin', snowboard champion, I could fix the flat on your car and I might even be a rockstar!" It seemed like Miss Montana had some endless energy, the way she danced and jammed out on stage. Of course little did anyone else know, she felt quite exhausted but knew she had to keep going for the fans. "Sometimes I wish when the phone rings that it would be you sayin', 'Let's hang out' and then you confess that there's somethin' special between us, why don't we find out? You don't even know me, guess you don't need me. Why you not seein' what you're missin'? On the outside shyin' away, but on the inside dyin' to say… I'm unusual not so typical, way too smart to be waitin' around. Tai Chi practicin', snowboard champion, I could fix the flat on your car and I might even be a rockstar. If you only knew the real me, I might even be a rockstar. I'm tellin' you that we are meant to be, now wouldn't it be nice if you could see that I really am a rockstar, yeah, yeah. Woo! Yeah, I really am a rockstar! A rockstar. I'm unusual not so typical, way too smart to be waitin' around. Tai Chi practicin', snowboard champion, I could fix the flat on your car… rockin' wherever we are, yeah, yeah. 'Cause I really am a rockstar! 'Cause I really am a rockstar! I am a rockstar… whoa, yeah." She gave another genuine smile and exited off the stage, where she grinned even bigger when she found Nick once again.
"Hey 'Rockstar'." He greeted with a smile, and of course another blush. Although 'Hannah' couldn't help but to notice how amazing a blush looked upon his face.
"Hey 'Guitar Cutie'." She returned the nice greeting, with a wink attached. "So I was wondering, if maybe you wanted to hang out for a little bit… since I'm done what I planned to do for the evening and such… unless you have other plans?" Nick shook his head in a negative response right away.
"Of course not, I'd love to spend some time with you. Let's go enjoy the dance, backstage here anyway." He knew that if they both went out there, they'd probably be trampled by their adoring fans. So, he outstretched his hand at that very moment when a nice slow song came through from the speakers. The blond glanced over to see none other than Lilly giving her two thumbs up as she was standing by the DJ's booth. Just then, Nick cleared his throat and cracked a smirk that melted her completely. "Hey, I'm Nick and I was just wondering if you'd like to share a dance with me?" 'Hannah' blushed and smiled, the only thing she could do was nod her head and she was whisked into a soft, gentle embrace within his arms. The song playing became nothing more than a background whilst they exchanged gazes, blushes and smiles.
"… I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams. But tonight girl, it's only you and me."
