Alright, instead of me rambling, let's get to the chapter eh?
I'll ramble afterwards.
Story start!
Chapter 36 - EMAs (Part II)
The flashes of the cameras kept me blind as I got out of the carriage, holding Gaara's hand of course. Reporters were talking fast like crazy, trying to catch all of the action, and interviewers were coming up to me with their mics, asking questions about our performance and if we have a new album coming out. I smirked, because no one knows about it yet. I saw familiar blonde hair, and there was my favorite reporter.
"Kim! It's so nice to see you!"
She smiled big and came over to hug me. She got her mic ready and the camera man turned his camera on.
"Guess who I have here, the members of The Fallen Stars, all with their partners and all looking fantastic as always."
I smiled. I've always loved interviews. They gave me a chance to show the world how we are, and how we aren't in the business for the money. Kim turned towards me.
"So, Noriko, I hear you may have a little bundle of surprise on the way. Care to share?"
I smirked again, I forgot that they don't know that either. I cleared my throat.
"Actually yes. It's true, I am pregnant."
The cameras went insane then, apparently trying to get my 'pregnant glow". I'm not even that far in!
"How far along are you?"
"Only a couple months, the doctor says I can still move around and dance like I usually do, I just have to tone it down a bit."
"How does it feel to be pregnant at still a young age?"
"Well, being a rockstar at this age, it's almost like the same thing. I know I have a resposibility, and I will have to arely get sleep sometimes, just like this responsibility now. I'm not gonna sya I'm ready for it, because I know I'm not, but Gaara and I are ready to handle what come our way."
She smiled at me again and moved the mic toward her mouth. I squeezed Gaara's hand and took a glance at my left to see Maki and Sasuke getting interviewed.
"Can you give us any hint at all about how your performance will be?"
"I'd rather it be a surprise, but I will tell you this, it will rock."
"Let's hope you keep your promise."
She was about to walk away before I leaned into her ear.
"By the way, they're twins!"
She had an 'omg' look and hugged me again, Gaara also. I looked at him and he smiled at me, glowing somehow. God does he look good with eyeliner. We walked more toward the red carpet, the entrance of the OW coming closer. I saw a huge mohawk and figured that was Bill, Tom, Georg, and Gustav probably getting interviewed. More camera flashes, I put my hand on my hip and sorta struck a pose. They were obviously loving it.
I looked at Gaara and he nodded at me, I saw the others heading toward the entrance. I pulled on his hand as I walked forward. I hope my boots aren't showing. We were led to where our seats were, which were on the second row, and what do you know, they were right next to Tokio Hotel's. I smirked and sat down, looking at the program.
We perform our first song after the winner of Best Female. I started to get nervous, but I tried to push it back as far as possible because I always get nervous. The show started as Katy Perry walked onto the stage.
-fast foward, I'm so excited I wanna GET THIS OVER WITH-
We were standing under the stage, ready for our first performance to start. I held onto the neck of my guitar harder than usual, I was extremely nervous. I looked over at Maki and she had her eye closed, probably trying to calm the fuck down. Amaya was fingering her fret board, something she does when she's nervous too. Naruto is already on the stage, sitting in the dark, waiting for us to start.
I fixed the clothes I was wearing, a sparkly pair of black jeans with blue converse, and a black v-neck shirt. We were all wearing a variation of each other's outfit: Maki with a sparkly skirt instead of jeans with yellow converse; Amaya with the same thing as me but with red converse; and Naruto with nothing sparkly and orange converse.
Beyonce walked off the stage carrying her Best Female award, I am so proud of her. She's a kind person, and she's a fantastic performer. I heard Katy Perry introducing us, so I adjusted my mic and got ready. With the thing in my ear, I heard Naruto slightly drum his symbols. People were screaming, some were booing, but I ignored those. If they don't like us, they don't like us.
Amaya started strumming a few notes, and the stage door opened. I took a deep breath and sung the first few words.
"I don't believe in miracles..."
They started cheering again and I smiled. I looked up and saw the smoke come out, they should start lifting the floor soon. Amaya started singing the next line.
"I never did, nothing ever happens here."
We all sung this line.
"So sick of it."
The floor started to go up and my heart skipped a beat. I felt the fans hit my face and opened my eyes to see the crowd screaming, and lifting their hands up. They started chanting the band name over and over. I moved my mic aside and walked up to hold the mic already on the stage.
"I-I-I told you, I-I-I need to, g-get myself into something new, I.."
Naruto contined drumming, and Maki started to enter with a riff she made up. Our live versions are always completely different from the album version of the song. I started playing the intro and Maki sung the next line.
"Hope for something mystical, hysterical, dark and tantric, sexual."
We paused for a moment, and I gripped my fretboard, getting ready to strum, but I had to hurry and fix the mic on my face. The lights shined on us as we started the chorus. Naruto came in with a big bang and it really set the mood.
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
Better make it now or ever I was doing the little foot thing I do when I dance while playing, completely enjoying myself. I walked over to Maki and we played back to back.
E-e-e-ever, e-e-ever
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
Gotta make it now or never
Forever or never
Forever or never
I don't believe in fairytales
Too cynical
Everybody stop and stare
I let it go, I, I, I told you
I, I, I need to
Stick, stick, stick out of
I just can't be lied to
Set myself to outer space
A better place
Gotta win the human race
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
Better make it now or never
E-e-e-ever, e-e-ever
I'm not gonna live forever
Said I'm not gonna live forever
Gotta make it now or never
Forever or never
Oooh, for my love, oooh, for my love
Oooh, for my love is forever, forever
I'm not gonna live forever
Said, I'm not gonna live forever
Better make it now or ever
E-e-e-ever, e-e-ever
I'm not gonna live forever
Said, I'm not gonna live forever
Gotta make it now or never
Forever or never, eh, eh, eh, eh
We continued playing, I walked down the long part of the stage and started to rock out. I feel like Tom when he has his guitargasms. Naruto hit his last part and we continued to play for a couple seconds before we stopped. Screams filled the place and I gave a huge smile, looking at Gaara. He and Sasuke stand out in the crowd since they are still wearing their tuxedos.
"Thank you!"
We bowed and walked off, I took off the mic and shook myself off. We all stood next to each other, then smiled and jumped in place. I can't WAIT for our second performance. We went to our rooms and put our guitars up, then went and sat back down. Gaara leaned into my ear.
"Great performance."
"Why thank you."
I smirked and pecked him on the lips.
-fast forward some more, sorry, being lazy :P-
I looked at Bill as he sung his heart out, walking towards Tom and rocking out with him. I smiled and nodded my head to the beat, and looked at the program to see what was happening next. Apparently, we are going on again after Tokio Hotel gets off. If that's the case, we need to go get ready. I told Gaara and he nodded, and I followed Amaya to the back of the place to go change.
What am I gonna wear this time? Usually they pick out what we wear but I want to wear something different. I also want to perform something different. Fuck! Me and my ways. I left my hair down and got into something like earlier. We will be on a separate stage, and this time water will come down. I'm so excited! I got my sparkly dark blue guitar and put it around me, then walked out to go find the rest of the gang. They were standing on the side of the stage watching Tokio Hotel.
"Hey guys, I want us to perform Someone, Somewhere."
They all looked at me like wtf, but then grinned and nodded. The makeup people came and fixed our makeup. Waterproof of course so it won't drip down. Naruto had the eyeliner on and he was good, Amaya had a black eyeshadow going on with a white highlight on her eyebrow. Maki had black eyeshadow as well, but like me, she had the glitter where the highlight is supposed to be. They fixed our foundation and lips, and before we knew it, we were ready to go.
We put our hands in and did our Fallen Stars thing, and then went on the stage. It's dark, so no one can see us.
"What made you want to perform this song?"
"I have no idea Maks, I was just thinking and it popped up in my head."
She smirked at me and we stood there, waiting for Katy to introduce us again. When she did, the spotlight came on and shown on us. I smiled, and Naruto banged his drums to start the intro.
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
It was you that told me I could do this
You put the music in my heart
And how you sang with the band in memphis
It's hard just to be strong not knowing if I've done you proud
I like to imagine you smile when you hear my songs
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
A letter home and I know we don't speak much
And we both know I'm not keen to but I think there's things I've left unsaid
I'm okay don't worry
I wish I'd been a better kid
I'm trying to slow down
I'm sorry for letting you down
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
You know it's just rock and roll
I know you're by my side through it all
My terror twin and I
Let's take over the world
Even though I'm on my own, I know I'm not alone
Because I know there's someone, somewhere praying that I make it home
So here's one from the heart, my life right from the start
I need a home sweet home to call my own
Naruto's writing skills are amazing. People take him for an idiot, but he's very smart, and creative. The crowd screamed like idiots and I fucking loved every second of it. I got a bottle of water and sprayed it all over the crowd; They went insane and obviously wanted more. I grinned.
I would continue, but I'm tired. My tiredness prevents me from rambling. You got lucky...mwaha.
Review, no flames yo, and thank you. I love you all.
