That's the way I love you
Behind the stage, a female singer and a male singer were about ready for their performance. The band was all set, though they had a lot of time left until their turn to perform.
"Do you think it's going to work?"
"Of course it is, darling."
Alice, the female singer wasn't usually the one to freak out, but this time it was a big concert and she started worrying. What if I forget the lyrics? What if I sing wrong? What if…
As if in an attempt to break her line of thoughts, the crowd started clapping really loud and called the band's name. It was a cover band, quickly starting to rise, and after this concert, it would be famous.
"Okay, time to go, people. It'll be amazing."
Jasper was never the one to freak out, or worry. He was confident, but not cocky or arrogant. He knew how much he was worth, that's just it.
He took her hand and walked to the stage, stood before the microphone and said, "Thanks people, for coming today to here. I hope we entertain you well enough before the main artist, and welcome the new cover from us!" The crowd went crazy and the band started playing. It was Hate That I Love you, originally by Rihanna and Ne-Yo.
Then Jasper picked up his microphone, walked to Alice who did the same thing, but she walked towards Jasper.
[Alice]
That's how much I love you
That's how much I need you
And I can't stand you
Must everything you do make me wanna smile
Can I not like you for a while (No)
[Jasper]
You won't let me
You upset me girl
And then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forgive (that I was upset)
Can't remember what you did
[Alice]
But I hate...
You know exactly what to do
So that I cant stay mad at you
For too long that's wrong,
[Jasper]
But I hate...
You know exactly how to touch
So that I don't want to fuss.. and fight no more
Said I despise that I adore you
[Alice]
And I hate how much I love you boy (yeah...)
I cant stand how much I need you (I need you...)
And I hate how much I love you boy (oooh whoa..)
But I just can't let you go
and Ihate that I love youso (oooh..)
[Jasper]
You completely know the power that you have
The only one makes me laugh
[Alice]
Said its not fair
How you take advantage of the fact
That I love you beyond the reason why
And it just ain't right
[Jasper]
And I hate how much I love you girl
I cant stand how much I need you (yeah..)
And I hate how much I love you girl
But I just can't let you go
But I hate that I love you so
[Both]
One of these days maybe your magic wont affect me
And your kiss wont make me weak
But no one in this world knows me the way you know me
So you'll probably always have a spell on me...
[Jasper]
Yeaahhh... Oohh...
[Alice]
That's how much I love you (as much as I need you)
That's how much as I need you (oooh..)
That's how much I love you (oh..)
That's how much as I need you
[Alice]
And I hate that I love you soooo
And I hate how much I love you boy
I cant stand how much I need ya (cant stand how much I need you)
And I hate how much I love you boy
But I just cant let you go (but I just cant let you go no..)
And I hate that I love you so
And I hate that I love you so.. soo.....
The crowd started clapping and screaming, wanting more. Alice and Jasper stared into each other's eyes, smiling. Then Alice noticed the crazed public, and said into the microphone, "Easy, people, easy. There's more coming, you can be sure about that," and smiled widely.
The next cover was Taylor Swift's Love Story.
[Alice]
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony of summer air
See the lights,
See the party the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
You say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a Love Story
Baby just say yes
So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quite cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this down for a little while
Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me
And I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, then try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real,
Don't be afraid
We'll Make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes, oh,
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you would ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts to town I said
Romeo, save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
[Jasper]
"Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talk to your dad go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes"
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Cause we were both young when I first saw you
The last notes disappeared into quietness, the crowd was stunned. But then they started screaming and clapping even more than three minutes ago. They performed a few more songs, until the grand finale came.
"And now, the newest cover from us, The Saltwater Room, originally by Owl City!"
People went wild. Absolutely wild. Then Jasper started singing.
[Jasper]
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore,
staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old
and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert,
I drew my over shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
You happened to look and see
the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room
[Both, Alice first and over one then]
Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
We need time, only time
When were apart whatever are you thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time, all the time
[Jasper]
Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn't let me sign on?
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights
I guess Ill never know why sparrows love the snow
Well turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
[Alice]
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
All the time
[Both, Alice first and over one then]
Time together is just never quite enough

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?

All the time
They smiled, said their "Thank you" to the public, and left the stage, side by side.
"You know, that all is the way I love you."
"Same for me, darling. Same for me."
He kissed her softly and she knew that everything was like a dream.
A/N: Aww. I love the ending, but I wrote it, so yeah. That doesn't count. I imagined them singing The Saltwater Room, by Owl City and boom! Inspiration stunned me. Yay. So, what do you think?
