"Ok guys one more of my songs then we'll bring out the band!" I said into the mic as everyone cheered and Jo walked off. "don't go too far we might need ya later Teddy!" i called after him and the crowd just laughed.
"Have you ever had a guy that you were so in love with he was like your own personal drug? You could never quite get enough? I had that once upon a time, then reality sank in and I was forced to try and get over him and then came this song, hope you like it"
Sweet like a kiss sharp like a razor blade I find you when I' m close to the bottom You cant appreciate the time it takes To kick a love I always knew was kind of wrong And as I'm putting out the flame Somebody brings up you name
Oh oh oh oh Baby baby baby bring me down I want to be right where you are Baby baby baby bring me down You can look me in the eye and break my heart Break my heart
Six AM unruffled pillow Laughs out loud at my trusting heart It's like I didn't see the penny I missed the fountain by a couple yards If you would only stay gone Maybe I could move on
Oh oh oh oh Baby baby baby bring me down I want to be right where you are Baby baby baby bring me down You can look me in the eye and break my heart Break my heart
OH! Baby baby baby bring me down I want to be right where you are Baby baby baby bring me down You can look me in the eye and break my heart Break my heart
OH! Baby baby baby bring me down I want to be right where you are Baby baby baby bring me down You can look me in the eye and break my heart Break my heart
Bring me down...
"Alright now here's a more upbeat one, but what do you say we bring out the rest of the band and get this party going?" the crowd cheered and the band came out, "for those of you who don't know we have Jason on guitar...Travis on drums... Cameron on bass...and Tom on keyboard!" I said introducing them all. As I introduced them they all played a short solo and the crowd went wild.
"Here's a song called 'kerosene' its a fun little go to hell type of song so clap along and have some fun" I sang the same song that I performed for the gang at the house and the really awesome thing about this stage is there is a whole strip about 5 inches thick close to the edge of the stage , not close enough to touch the audience but about 3 feet away from the edge, that was made out of some fire proof material so halfway through the song I grabbed a metal tin of gas and poured it all along the strip. The last line as I shouted HEY I dropped a lit match on the edge of the strip and watched the whole front of the stage light up and the crowd went crazy.
"This song my good friend Jason is going to take over so Jason some love!" I said as the band started playing 'Good girls go bad'.
(Jo- Bold Rose Italics and both is both)
I make them good girls go bad I make them good girls go Good girls go bad Good girls go bad
While he was singing, Jo took over playing the guitar while he came over to stand center stage. As he was singing I made my way off the stage for a few seconds to get a drink of water. as he started sing the verse part I ran back out but stayed to the side as he pretended to be singing to me.
I know your type Yeah daddy's lil' girl Just take a bite Let me shake up your world Cause just one night couldn't be so wrong I'm gonna make you lose control
As he kept singing I started slowly shaking my way around the stage but going around all the band first. I made my way to tommy just swaying to the music a little and when I got over to him I pretended like I was going to kiss him on the cheek but at last second pulled away teasingly and started dancing my over towards Cameron. While making my way over I started dancing more and more seductively, but not trashy. By this point it was getting close to my turn to sing so i just danced a circle around him and blew him a kiss, then I turned around and went towards Jason and pointed at him.
I know your type Boy you're dangerous Yeah you're that guy I'd be stupid to trust But just one night couldn't be so wrong You make me want to lose control
As I sang the last part I playfully ruffled his hair and ran to the other side of the stage while he pretended to try and grab me. While he would sing I would dance and playfully tease him.
She was so shy 'Til I drove her wild
I make them good girls go bad I make them good girls go bad I was hanging in the corner With my five best friends I heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist I make them good girls go bad I make them good girls go Good girls go bad Good girls go bad Good girls go bad
Oh she got a way with them boys in the place Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance And he got a way with them girls in the back Actin' like they too hot to dance
As we kept singing I started making my way back over to him and dance around him. As we kept singing I started dancing 'seductively' around him, then I leaned against him and started dancing against him, then pulled away and walked about 5 feet away from him.
Yeah she got a way with them boys in the place Treat 'em like they don't stand a chance And he got a way with them girls in the back Actin' like they too hot to dance
I make them good girls go bad I make them good girls go Them good girls go bad Good girls go bad
I was hanging in the corner With my five best friends I heard that you were trouble but I couldn't resist
I walked back over to him and started pretending to flirt with him by running my hands up and down his chest.
I make them good girls go bad I make them good girls go bad I make them good girls go Good girls go bad Good girls go bad Good girls go
As he sang the last few lines I leaned in like I was going to kiss him, but i knew he understood what i was doing. He started to lean in after he sang the last word, when we were about 4 inches away the music stopped and I turned back to the crowd and laughed.
'Rose do you have something you need to tell me?' Lissa playfully said in my head. I looked over at her and barely shook my head laughing still, until I caught a glimpse of Dimitri. He looked kind of angry, he was all tense and I wasn't certain of it but from where i stood i thought i could detect a little jealousy swirling in his eyes. But of course as soon as I look over Tasha appears out of nowhere, clings to his arm as close as she could get and starts whispering in his ear, then they both start laughing. I did however notice that even though he was laughing it never reached his eyes.
We continued on singing song after song until the band started to play a certain song. I walked over to Jason and moved mics away, then whispered in his ear.
"I can't sing this song."
"Why not?"
"Because the person I wrote it about is here and I do not want him to know about this one."
"But Rose it's a crowd favorite, just tell him I wrote it."
"I'll try but he's not stupid so he will figure it out, but whatever. Just know you owe me."
"Love ya Rose"
"Yea yea" I said grinning at him. I walked back to center stage and faced the crowd.
"Sorry we had a miscommunication, but it's fixed now. This next song This awesome guitarist over here wrote and it's always been a crowd favorite, because almost anyone who has had thier heart broken can relate to it, so here it goes."
I was young but I wasn't naive I watched helpless as he turned around to leave And still I have the pain I have to carry A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried
After all this time I never thought we'd be here Never thought we'd be here When my love for you was blind But I couldn't make you see it Couldn't make you see it That I loved you more than you'll ever know A part of me died when I let you go
It took all my will power not to look at Dimitri. I knew he'd figure it out but just in case, I didn't want to give him any hints.
I would fall asleep Only in hopes of dreaming That everything would be like it was before But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
After all this time I never thought we'd be here Never thought we'd be here When my love for you was blind But I couldn't make you see it Couldn't make you see it That I loved you more than you'll ever know A part of me died when I let you go
After all this why Would you ever wanna leave it Maybe you could not believe it That my love for you was blind But I couldn't make you see it Couldn't make you see it That I loved you more than you will ever know A part of me died when I let you go That I loved you more than you'll ever know A part of me died when I let you go
The crowd erupted into applause, as I continued trying to fight the tears and urge to look at him. I had never sang that song without at least one tear falling, but I'd be damned if I let him see me cry.
'Rose that was so beautiful. He really hurt you didn't he? I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you.' said Liss through the bond and I could feel that she was on the verge of crying. Truth was even though what she did hurt me deeply I forgave her a long time ago. I looked over at her and tried to convey my response through my eyes seeing as I couldn't just say it in the middle of the stage and couldn't exactly leave the stage either. She slightly nodded her head in understanding.
'I love you Rose and I'm going to make it up to you somehow.' I just turned and faced the crowd and started the next song. The rest of the night I played some of my favorites including, 'She's So Gone', 'A perfectly good heart', 'Last Resort', 'Love Drunk', 'Break my Heart', and a few others. I finished the concert with one of my favorite songs called 'I will not bow' that I wrote to remind me that no matter what comes i'm strong enough to overcome it.
"Thank you you have been an amazing audience and it's been a blast performing for you all tonight, have a goodnight and don't do anything too crazy!" I said with a laugh then walked off stage.
"That was amazing Rose!" squealed Lissa running over and giving me a hug.
"Thanks."
"That was okay Rosie, but I've seen better." said firefly laughing.
"Aw Firefly now I don't know how I'll ever survive!" I exclaimed pretending to be hurt by his words.
"I'm just kidding you did pretty good."
"I'll take what I can get firefly."
"Little dhampir who knew you could sing so awesome!" said Adrian.
"Me" said Jo coming over and giving me a hug.
"Thanks for supporting me tonight." I whispered in his ear.
"Anytime Posie."
"That was Wonderful Rose." said Dimitri.
"Thanks" I said looking over at him. His eyes held many different emotions, and honestly I was too scared to look hard enough to decipher them so i quickly looked away.
"Why don't we go to your bar and celebrate?" Asked Tommy, the keyboard player, looking at Jo.
"Sounds great!" I answered for him. So then we all headed out to the cars. Unfortunately somehow it ended up Jo driving with Tom in the passenger seat, Me, Lissa, and Christian in the middle row, and Tasha, Dimitri, and a guardian in the very back row with Adrian, Aria, 2 guardians and Cameron, Jason, and Casey in another. how it ended up that way I have no clue because if it was up to me Adrian and Aria would be in here with Dimitri and Tasha in the other car.
"So Rose why did you choose to stay in Texas?" asked Christian.
"I'm not entirely sure. I was trying to get far away and this was the farthest place I could afford so my plan was to get enough money and find somewhere else to settle down at but when I got here I was bad off, I got a job at the bar and Joseph ended up becoming a close friend and helping me out a lot so I ended up staying here with him. Plus I knew not many people would come looking in Texas for the Rose Hathaway." I said with a laugh. "Everyone knows I hated country music, and extremely hot weather"
"Isn't that the truth, you complain more than anyone I've ever met in my life!" said Jo laughing.
"Teddy be nice!"
"I'm just stating a fact."
"Whatever..."
"Aww Rosie are you going to cry?" asked Christian in a mocking tone.
"Shut it Firefly and my name's not Rosie!"
"Whatever you say Rosie." About then we pulled up to the bar and all got out, as Christian started to walk towards the door i put my foot out and tripped him making him fall on the pavement.
"Rose that wasn't very nice!" Scolded Tasha.
"Who said I'm nice? Plus Christians a big boy and can handle himself he knew there would be consequences for calling me that didn't you firefly?"
"Yep but it's still entertaining to watch you get all riled up."
"See he can handle himself." I said glaring at Tasha. 'Stupid bitch mind your own damn business' I thought but didn't say out loud.
"You still could try to be nicer." she said. Wow she does not know when to shut up.
"Like I tried telling you earlier i'm not that nice!" I snapped and walked off before I said anything that would upset Lissa or Christian.
"Wow she's such a bitch." said Tasha thinking I couldn't hear her.
"Tasha just drop it." Interfered Dimitri before I could make a remark. She made a little 'hmph' noise and started walking inside purposely hitting my shoulder on her way in.
"Whore" I mumbled so only she could hear. She turned and glared at me.
"Dimka! Did you just hear that little..."
"Tasha I said drop it!" he said cutting her off sounding annoyed.
We went over to the bar and ordered some drinks then found a table.
"So Rose where's John tonight?" asked Lissa.
"Oh he had to miss the concert because of some work thing but he should be here soon. actually there he is now" I said seeing him enter the bar as I was talking. I walked over to him to keep up this charade.
"Hey honey!" I said jokingly.
"Hey babe!" he said laughing.
"So are you sure you want to keep this up?"
"Rose really now? Even if I did want to back out what would you tell them? The truth? Plus this was all my idea why would I back out now?"
"I don't know if you did want to all I would have to do is say we broke up. And i'm just saying this is going to get really complicated I can feel it now."
"It's fine. I can handle myself. It's not for very long, we got this."
"Ok well Casey talked me into singing at her brothers bands' concert and seeing as I forgot to call you I told them you were busy at some work thing."
"Thats cool. Let's go play." he said with a laugh and a wink.
"Haha ok. hey Johnnie.."
"What flower?"
"First flower? Really? And second I think we should go sing first..."
"Well I need to call you something and that sounded good, my sweet little flower"
"Sweet my ass" I said grinning.
"What do you suggest we sing?"
"Hmmmmm...I'm not sure surprise me."
"Gotcha covered. How about I sing a song for you first?"
"What do you have up your sleeve boy?"
"Boy? I'm offended and I guess you will just have to wait and find out."
"I'm curious so it better be good. I guess i'll go sit down at our table."
"K" he said with a wink leaning down to hug me and kiss me on the cheek. "Gotta keep up with the show."
I walked over to the table smirking until I saw Tasha smirking. That's never a good sign.
"What's John doing?" Asked Lissa
"He's going to sing a song."
"Oh cool."
"Yep" I said popping the 'p' as he walked on stage.
"Hey everyone this one's for my beautiful girlfriend, here's to you flower!" he said with a smirk.
"ass" I muttered. Then I busted out laughing when I realized what song he was singing.

The whole time he was singing he was dancing around, looking and pointing at me. Honestly it was pretty funny, but I had to pretend to think it was sexy and such.
I walked over to him and hugged him.
"Hey hot stuff was that song about someone special?" I said jokingly.
"Nah just some random chick that spilled her drink on me." he said bringing up the first time I met him. Just then the song 'Sleazy' came on by Ke$ha.
"Come on lets go dance. We can sing later." I said dragging him to the dance floor.
As we were dancing I started singing to him and he started laughing.
"Hey your not supposed to laugh!" I said
"Sorry but between you singing this song and your little friend over there glaring at us it's just really funny."
I turned around to see what he was talking about and saw Dimitri glaring daggers at John and then looked over to see Tasha glaring between me and Dimitri. Jealous much?
"Thats hilarious."
"Whats hilarious is the fact that the song 'Sleazy' is one of your favorites but your far from sleazy"
"What I love the beat, it's an awesome song to dance to plus who doesn't want to just let loose and go crazy for a little bit even if it's just during one song."
"True so why don't we let loose?"
"Why not?" we kept dancing through the song, but as soon as it was over Tasha went to the stage and started singing.
As soon as the music started I knew what song it was.
"Oh Bitch it's on" I thought, tonight just got interesting...
AN: Sorry I kind of ended it in a cliffy but I figured I needed to end the chapter soon and that seemed like a good place to plus it adds in a little drama in the story, but don't worry more drama is soon to come :D
I have a new idea for a story but i'm not sure if I should or not and I would love your opinions even though most likely I will do it anyways because for the last 2 weeks it has not left my mind and it hasn't seemed to let up at all, it's somewhat based on a person I knows actually expiriences but with a totally better ending. well here's the summary and let me know your opinions:
One summer Rose and her parents go to Montana for her mom's 25th class reunion, now her and her mom have made it a tradition to go back and visit her mom's friends every summer but this summers different. Last year she met her mom's friend Olena and her son Dimitri, this year she realizes that she might be falling for him and him for her, the catch is he's engaged and has a daughter. (I'm not sure if he should have a kid or not but in my inspirations life there is one)How will it end up and how will their parents feel about all of this?
