Mitchie's POV
I had quite the time getting Alex onto the stage. She was pale and completely petrified. A lot like I was with my first concert. Alex was walking a little ways ahead, while I walked alongside Gladis. Yes, she's an evil bitch, but I knew how to handle her.
"Hey Gladis, What songs were chosen for this concert? Oh my gosh! are those new shoes?"
"Yeah they are, I got them from my trip to-"
"Paris? 'cause, those have to be from Paris, they have all the best shoes and yours completely qualify" Last week I had given her a vacation. She went to paris and bragged about her shoes the minute she was back. In this reality, it was Alex that she bragged to, so coming from me should warm her up.
"Oh, well I don't like to brag" suure.
"Anyways, what were the songs again?"
"Oh, yes here you go. We decided to go with some of her old ones and end it with her newest one." She handed me the typed up list of how the whole concert was supposed to go. It took everything in me to keep up this facade that I was fine. I felt ready to pass out, but Alex needed me. I looked at the songs listed.
Naturally
I won't apologize
Promise you
Who says
Off the chain
Slow Down
What!? I've never heard of any of these songs. Oh, no, that means Alex doesn't know them either. I smiled to Gladis and handed back the paper.
"Ah, Yes, great choice." I told her then hurried over to catch up with Alex.
"Alex!" She turned around.
"Yeah?"
"I saw the songs chosen" She looked like a weight was lifted off her shoulders, not all of it, but some of it.
"Great! What are they?"
"Erm, They're ones I've never seen before." Her eyes went wide.
"What! How am I supposed to sing songs I've never heard of before!" I saw her think for a minute. "Wait, what were they?"
"Er" I thought back to the list. "Naturally, I wont say sorry? erm promise you?"
"Do you mean, I wont apologize?"
"Oh, yeah. Wait, how do you know?" She started blushing.
"uh, please don't get mad but I sorta write songs sometimes"
"You never told me!? Okay now You're gonna have to show me these."
"Mitch I'm About to do a concert, maybe some other time. Now what were the other songs?" by now we were backstage waiting for Alex's cue.
"who says, off the chain, and slow down."
"Slow down? I wrote that the night before all this started, I hadn't even made a tune for it yet!"
"Do you know the words?"
"Yeah"
"then you'll be fine, it's your song sing it how you want."
"Alex! You're up!" Dave, one of the stage help informed her. Alex nodded and took a shaky breath. I acted on impulse. I took her by the hands and pulled her toward me till our lips met. She sighed into the kiss and I couldn't help but giggle. We broke apart and I giggled even more at the dreamy expression on her face.
"Knock 'em dead tiger" I said quoting her whenever I went on stage.
"You have no Idea what you do to me."The music to her first song had already been playing. I had never heard it so I didn't know when her cue was supposed to be, but apparently Alex did because she seemed to be counting it out in her head before running onto the stage.
"How You choose to express yourself, Its all your own and I can tell
It comes naturally
it comes naturally"
She sang the first bit and I felt my jaw drop. She had told me that magic wouldn't be able to help her and that she was even more worried 'cause the way she sounded on stage was how she really sounded. She went finished that song and I was completely in awe of her vocals. As much as I enjoyed watching her on stage, I really needed to lie down. I went to the back stage and watched the most amazing performance on the tv in the dressing room. This song I could tell was written for me. The next one wasn't. I remember her telling me about this jerk who cheated on her and broke her heart. The way she sang this song showed just how much he had hurt her. I swear, if i ever saw this asshole, he wouldn't live to tell about it.
I'm sorry, for changing
I'm sorry It had to be this way
Beleive me it's easier just to pretend,
But I wont apologize for who I am
I thank you for
this hopeless war
'cause through the pain and now I found stronger than before
now I want more
I don't need you anymore
I'm sorry
(listen close i wont say this again)
After that 3 more songs were sang. With each one, I found myself smiling. I never knew she was an amazing song writer. Halfway through off the chain, I got up and went back to where I had stood during the first song. Alex finished the song and came over to me. She was out of breath and she was completely nervous.
"Hey, it's okay, you completely rocked all the other songs, I'm not even sure it's possible for this next one to get any better" I told her knowing she'd be worried about not knowing the music to the next song.
"No Mitch, I've gotten over that. Well I'm still a bit nervous, but I feel like I'll always be."
"Then why do you look so nervous now?"
"Because Mitchie. All these songs but two of them are about you. I love you more than anything, and I want the world to know that. I want everyone to know you're mine and mine alone. I want to be able to kiss you on stage, and hold your hand everyday."
"But, Alex, you know that this would be risking a lot." I told her
"Yes, but Mitch, I did some reading. The spell that was cast once reversed, will reverse everything. No one but you and I will know that all this ever happened. Why don't we go out there tonight and see what we're to expect about outing ourselves. It's the perfect moment." I could see this is what she wanted. She wanted this soo badly, I could see it in her eyes.
"Without you, she'd be an empty shell, you ARE her happiness." Little Alex had told me that. If this would help her be happy again, It'd be my pleasure.
"Alright." I nodded. She started smiling from ear to ear. We could hear the large crowd chanting, demanding, for Alex.
"Just wait here for a sec" She told me before running back onto stage.
"Okay everybody, I've got a surprise for all of you" The audience roared. "How many of you would like to hear a song I've never performed or released yet?" I didn't think it possible, but the crowd cheered even louder. "Okay then. This next song is about freezing the moment, making it last longer. I've had this experience. There's one person who has inspired most of the songs I've sang tonight. Their the one person in the world that matters most to me. They're my everything, and every moment I'm with them, I just want to freeze the world and live like that for the rest of my life. Now I know probably most of you wont approve, but I don't really care. When you feel so strongly for someone, no one else matters." I felt myself tearing up. Someone in the audience yelled
"NOT BEIBER!" The whole stadium laughed. "No don't worry its not Justin Beiber. Now here's the new song." The band took that as their cue and started to play some music. Alex walked over to me and took my hand. She pulled me into view of everyone. Everyone gasped.
"Mitchie Torres," She paused. "Dance with me?" Then her cue started.
"Now that I have captured your attention
I wanna steal you for a rhythm intervention
Ms. T you say I'm ready for inspection
Sh-sh-show me how you make a first impression
Oh, Oh
can we take it nice and
slow, slow
Break it down and drop it
Low Low
'Cause I just wanna party all night in the neon lights 'til you can't let me go"
Alex pulled me close to her so our bodys were pressed together as she looked into my eyes.
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
all night long
Baby slow down the song
and when It's coming closer the end hit rewind
All night long
Baby slow down the song
If you want me I'm accepting applications
She pulled me closer to the audience
So long as we keep this record on rotation
She spun me around in a professional sort of way
You know I'm good with mouth to mouth resuscitation
I couldn't help but blush
Breathe me in Breath me out
By now we were dancing and she perfectly dipped me, her hand holding my lower back keeping me up as she said the next line, her voice not even faltering.
So amazing.
She brought me back up. One of the dancers on stage grabbed a chair and set it next to us as part of their routine. Alex softly pushed me into the chair as she went out to the audience going back and forth across the stage. The audience had been shocked, but soon enough they were joining in with the beat of the all- too catchy song.
Oh, Oh,
can we keep it nice and
slow, slow
break it down and drop it
low, low
"Cause I just wanna party all night in the neon lights, 'til you can't let me go.
She came back to where I was and kneeled next to my chair.
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
All night long
Baby slow down the song
and when it's coming closer to the end hit rewind
All night long
Baby slow down the song
A dancer came by and place an ear piece on Alex's ear so she had a hand free mic. The dancer danced away with that mic and Alex pulled me back up to her feet.
Breathe me in Breath me out
She twirled me in one direction, then the other.
The music's got me going
Breathe me in Breathe me out
No stop until the morning
She dipped me again, only this time, when she pulled me back up, she lifted me off my feet as she spun around. I couldn't help but laugh as she gently set me back onto my feet.
Breath me in Breath me
You know I'm ready for it.
For it. For it.
Yeah
She put both hands at my waist and I wrapped my arms around her neck. The rest of the world disappeared as I got lost in her eyes. The only thing that I was registering, was her singing.
I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
all night long
baby slow down the song
And when it's coming closer to the end hit rewind
all night long
Baby slow down the song
The music had slow down a beat as she finished.
baby slow down the song
Sh was out of breath, and so was I. All this had taken a lot out of me, and Alex noticed. The crowd was cheering like never before. I laid my head on Alex's shoulder letting her know I was tired.
"Thank you all so much for coming out tonight. You were an amazing audience. Drive safe and Goodnight everybody!" the crowd started a fresh round of applause. Alex kissed my head and we started toward the exit. We went back to the dressing room. Alex had scooped me up and was carrying me to the couch. I giggled as she gently set me down.
"Here, Dave said it might take a while for the place to clear out, so you should get some sleep. Ill be right back, okay babe?" I nodded. She ran her hand through my hair the way I loved it, and then left. I closed my eyes ready to find sleep when the door opened. I figured Alex was back so I just kept my eyes closed. Suddenly a hand covered my mouth as someone picked me up, roughly might I add. I opened my eyes and tried to scream, but the hand muffled any sound I made. All I could do was hopelessly struggle as they covered my mouth and nose with a rag. The rag must've had chloroform because then everything went black
Ooh, can you guys guess who? Im sure you already know, Please review!
