Rapping My Soul Out
Jason
Leo and I ended up finished the song the only problem is that because it had to seem like it was for Leo the male part was a rap, and I can't rap. Leo's currently drilling it into my on how to rap and it's hard. The original song the rap was completely different but Leo thought it would be better if we changed it so that I could apologize to Piper through it.
"Okay, try it again," he played the music.
"How was that?" I asked.
"Perfect. Now that we've got the song figured out, we just need to find a way to get you on stage without the others potentially ripping you off stage on national television."
"Great," I said sarcastically.
"Look," Leo tossed me a bottle of water. "It won't be that hard, plus you made it to the stage at the Grammys," he shrugged it off. "Anyways I've got to go record the song with Piper so I'll catch you later?"
"Yeah," we fist bumped and he left.
With a big sigh I slumped down against the mirror wall in my studio and practiced the rap again. The whole time I kept thinking about all different possibilities. I would have sat there the whole day if my phone didn't ring.
"'ello?" I said.
"Hey it's Gwen."
"What's up?" I asked.
"Look about your whole getting Piper through national television-"
"Wait how do you know about that."
"I had a feeling, anyways I just wanted to tell you that I'm gunning for you tiger," I could hear her smirk.
"Well, want to help me practice?" I asked.
"M-me? I can't sing."
"It doesn't matter, come on, it'll be fun. Plus I can't get Thalia to do it with me, she'll never let me live it down."
"What's in it for me?"
"I'll be your best friend?" I offered.
"How about when you do get the girl you thank me, you're taking me to the Juno's and I'll think of the rest later."
"Fine."
"I'll be over in five."
What was I getting myself into? Gwen did keep her world and exactly five minutes later she appeared by my door and we began to practice. That girl was lying, she's an amazing singer. If she wasn't the heir for Fifth Cohort she could totally make a living off singing.
"You know what?" she asked. "I think if you should rap this part like this," she showed me.
"I like that," I told her. We spent the rest of the day fine tuning the song for the Juno's.

My flight had finally landed and I'm enjoying the Canadian weather. It was a lot nicer than New York's, it's nice and a bit weird not seeing skyscrapers everywhere.
"We ready?" Leo came and slung his arm over my shoulders. "Juno's here we come," Leo shouted to nowhere but got the attention of many fans.
"Oh. My. God. It's Jason and Leo," one shouted.
"Ekkkkk!" another one screamed.
"Ladies, ladies," Leo tried to calm the crowd. "There's plenty of Leo to go around but we are in an airport so if you want to see us wait at the Juno's."
Soon the security guards escorted us out and we headed to our hotel to change for the Juno's.
I ended up wearing a brown vest and pants with a white dress shirt, no tie. Leo on the other hand opted for the classic James Bond look, he claims that it makes him feel good, whatever that means.
"Ready to pick our dates up?" Leo asked and I nodded. We headed next door to where Piper and Gwen where.
"Hey guys," Gwen greeted us as Leo drooled over her. Gwen had her hair down in curls while wearing a golden backless floor length dress that also had a slit that went mid-thigh. As Leo gawked at my date I gawked at his, Piper was in this short floral dress, the top part was mainly white with mostly blue flowers while the bottom was more like a bouquet of flowers with a v back. Simply put she looked beautiful.
"Ready?" Piper asked.
"Yup," we all answered.

I was backstage with Leo, Gwen and Piper. It was almost Leo and Piper's turn. According to Leo it was going to start off with Piper singing then I come in through the mist. Leo said that he pulled some strings so that they wouldn't say his name instead it's was going to be Sparky01.
"Please welcome Miss. Piper McLean and Sparky who will be performing their newest song. If you loved This is Me then you'll love this song. Here they are performing Me and You."
Piper headed out and the applause died down just as she began to sing
You're spinnin' round and round and round in my head,
Did you really mean the words that you said,
This is it, I gotta know,
Should I stay or should I go,
Show me the truth,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you,
It was too late to back out and I know she'd probably hate me but I had to let her know. So I went. I walked out on national television rapping to her.
I know you gone be mad,
Feelings that you thought you had,
Weren't the returned,
I thought so too, I was so concerned,
Thought you didn't feel the same
That I really lame
I'm just a shy kid,
Camouflaged before your eyes,
I should have told you,
But I never had the courage,
And I thought you really wouldn't understand
I could hear the shock in her voice, hopefully the audience didn't notice
Ohhhhh
I continued to rap after her 'Ohhhh'
And now I'm up here just to let my feelings surface,
Apologizin' for disguisin' who I am
Piper continued to sing, tears forming in her eyes.
Tell me, am I who you thought you were,
Or who I wanted you to be,
Did you do it all for him,
Or were you only playing me
I did it for you!
I shouted, I grabbed her hand causing her to look at me
But I couldn't see it through,
She shook out of my gasp and turned to sign the chorus.
You're spinnin' round and round and round in my head
Did you really mean the words that you said
This is it, I gotta know,
Should I stay or should I go,
Show me the truth,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you,
I kept trying to get her to look at me as I rapped.
You're all I ever wanted,
But I got caught in the shadow in the background,
But I'm back now,
The big guys wanted all this and that,
They thought that you and me it didn't really match.
I got you on and he got you off,
They pushed me around, I was too soft,
Give me your hand and I'll take off my mask,
Give me a chance, that's all I ask
This time she faced me as she sang, although she was singing I was pretty sure she was trying to stop herself from screaming at me.
What you expectin' me to do?
First you were him,
And now you're you
Since she was looking at me I took the chance to grab her hand.
Now it's just me!
And you got me on my knees,
I ended up going on one knee, as if I was proposing.
Piper turned around and I got up. She sang the chorus again along with the final verse finishing it off with the chorus.
You're spinnin' round and round and round in my head (head),
Did you really mean the words that you said (said),
This is it, I gotta know,
Should I stay or should I go,
Show me the truth,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you
Why do I feel so deceived?
I didn't blame her there.
Guess I believe what I wanted to believe,
It's perfect in my dreams,
But nothing's really white,
It seems
You're spinnin' round and round and round in my head (head),
Did you really mean the words that you said (said),
This is it, I gotta know,
Should I stay or should I go,
Show me the truth,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you,
Is it gonna be me and you
We finished the song and the audience cheered. As we headed backstage Piper ran off in front of me. I tried to catch up to her but when I lost her I headed to where Leo was.
"What happened?" I asked.
"Piper slapped me," he said clutching his cheek. "She knew that I knew and she ran off."
"I'm going after her, where did she run off to?" I asked.
"Don't bother, Gwen went after her, saying that it's some girl thing plus you've got bigger trouble," Leo pointed behind me.
Behind me I saw the big guys.
[A/N] I did change the rap in Me and You to fit the story line.
