Chapter 16

Luther's POV

Stella stood up by the microphone. We were almost done with the first set of the night before intermission. Teddy and I had held out so far, and we were pretty sure that the crowd believed that we were actually Wen and Olivia. We just finished performing Somebody, which was our second to last song. And, Teddy sounded almost exactly like Olivia. You could barely tell the difference. It was a perfect rendition of the song. Teddy had such a pretty voice. I can't believe I never knew that before considering how un-separable we were. I thought I would have heard her singing at one point in her childhood. But, then again, she might have, and I might have just forgotten. But, with her type of voice, that's almost impossible to believe.

Stella spoke into her microphone, "I hope you enjoyed that song! I know it's one of my favorites! Now we have one last song for you in this set. It's a cover, not an original. But, I am sure that all of you are very familiar with this song! It's the Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz song, Lucky!"

The crowd cheered in response.

"And, we have our very own Wen and Olivia to sing it for us!" Stella winked at us.

I stepped out from behind the keyboard, grabbed the acoustic guitar from the back, pulled the strap over my head, and came up to stand by Teddy who smiled at me. I began to strum the opening chords and sang the first part.

(Me)
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Teddy put her hand on my shoulder and began to sing her line.

(Teddy)
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I began singing along with her again and our voices blended together perfectly.

(Both)
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Teddy dropped out again, leaving me to sing another solo.

(Me)
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Then she sang.

(Teddy)
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

And, I joined in with her again. She looked so pretty. She faced me during the last chorus and we looked into each other's eyes.

(Both)
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooooh, ooooh, oooh, oooh,
Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

We finished the song and we stood there for a moment still looking into each other's eyes. The cheers of the crowd went over us and it was as if we were the only ones on the stage. We both leant in, but Stella's voice broke our trance.

"You all enjoyed that right?" she yelled into the microphone.

The crowd cheered in response.

"Well, that concludes our first set for tonight!"

The crowd groaned.

"But, don't worry; we'll be right back with more songs after intermission! 15 minute break, I hope you're enjoying yourselves so far!" The lights went up and we exited the stage.

"All right, everyone," Stella said when we got backstage, "We've got fifteen minutes. Refresh yourselves or whatever you need to do quickly before the second set! Then, meet right back here and we'll look for Wen and Olivia. Got the plan?"

We all nodded.

"Okay…GO!"

We all split up and did whatever we needed to do super fast and met back up in the same location in under five minutes.

"All right, are we all refreshed and ready to go so that in case we can't find them in the fifteen minutes, we'd still be ready to go on?"

I nodded.

"Yes!" Mo said exasperatedly.

"Uh-huh," Charlie added, rubbing Mo's shoulders to calm her down.

"Yes," Teddy answered from behind me. I smiled at her and she smiled back. She took my hand and squeezed.

"It'll be easier and we'll cover more space if we split up into pairs. At least that way, it'll be more than one group looking and no one will be alone in case something happens. Okay, the pairs are Mo and Charlie, Teddy and Luther, and Zeke and I. We'll meet back here in eight minutes, with or without them for the second set, okay?" Stella instructed.

"Okay," we chorused.

That is the end of Chapter 16! I decided to upload today because I know I'm going to be busy this week and probably won't have a chance to upload. I'm guessing the earliest I'll be able to will probably be Friday, but I'm not sure. I also updated Muggles vs. Wizards, so you can check that out as well. I'm proud of myself, even with the little reviewers I've had lately, I've still uploaded three chapters in a row. All for you people! Love you all!
