"So?" she asked, as I took a bit outt my BTL.
"What?" I said a mouth full of food.
"Yuck,ugh. At your house. Joe. Nick." She said, using a napkin towipe some mayonase off my chin. I slapped her hand away.
"It went okay." I said, after swallowing.
"It went ok, are you kidding me?" she said, looking surprised. I laughed.
"Come on." I said, standing up, putting away my BTL in my bag, then swung it on my back ,held out my hand. "We're gonna be late for band practise." I said, she narrowed her eyes at me but took my hand. I pulled her up and she smiled while she shook her head. We both ran off to band.
Anyway, we are having an annual summer band concert in three days. My band (alex miller & the Grove)/thanks to Selena/ are preforming Naturally and Talk is cheap.
"Alex, Alex, Alex!" my music teacher yelled, I snapped out of my daydream.
"Sorry, yes?.." I said, looking at Miss Jackson, she smiled.
"I think you have your lead gitarrist back." She said.
"What?" she moved out of my view.
"Holy shi…shoot! Phillip!" I said, I ran up to him and gave him a big hug.
"Hey al. Long time no see." He said, after we pulled apart.
"Yeah, two years, since when did you live in Brisbane?" I asked.
"Three weeks ago, I go to the brother school of this pace " duh. " When I found out you went here I had to start playing again." He said, me and Phillip used to date, but it never worked ,so we're just friends (I hope)
"Ahem," we heard Sophie in the background.
"Sophie!" Phillip said, and ran over to give her a hug.
"The gang back together again." Miss Jackson said.
"Oh yeah." I answered.
Three days later and it was time for the concert. I hadn't spoken or heard from either Nick or Joe, probably off doing interviews and shows, so I was surprised when they showed up at the local bar/restaurant that had a huge stage.
"Uh Alex, your boys are here." Sohie said, what boys?. I walked up to the curtain and peeked out to find Nick and Joe getting swarmed by fans.
"oh dear god." I sihed. Then the concert started, we were on second last. "All right, next up is Alex Miller and the Grover." Said Miss Jackson. We went up on stage, I could see the two guys down there, to the left.
"All right, our first song is Naturally by Selena Gomez, I hope you enjjoy." I said as everyone started, I sang
Naturally:
How you choose to express yourself
It's all your own and I can tell
It comes naturally, it comes naturally
You follow what you feel inside
It's intuitive, you don't have to try
It comes naturally, mmmm it comes naturally
And it takes my breath away
What you do, so naturally
You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby
You have a way of moving me
A force of nature, your energy
It comes naturally (You know it does)
It comes naturally
Mmmm yeah
And it takes my breath away (Everytime)
What you do, so naturally
You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby
When we collide, sparks fly
When you look in my eyes, it takes my breath away
You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you're with me, baby
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby
(Naturally)
Naturally x5
Bay bay baby
(Naturally)
Naturally x5
Everything baby comes naturally
The song was drawing to a close when I locked eyes with Joe. The song finished, everyone clapped.
"All right, thankyou. Our last song is Talk is cheap by Miley Cyrus." I gave Joe a shy smile when I started to sing.
Talk is cheap
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay A-A-Ay
Woohoo Woohoo
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay A-A-Ay
Woohoo Woohoo
I'm alone, it's just me just
And I'm watchin' TV
And I'm always oh, so bored at home
I get up, I get out
Drive my car way downtown
Keep on calling, but you're never around
See my friends out tonight
Under these city lights
In the club till someone starts a fight
Then we get in the car
Still don't know where you are
I'm so pissed off, always hanging around
And I'm so tired
You're fired
I'm so jealous, restless, relentless
That's just me.
I'm so crazy lately
Come on, let it be
Don't make me beg for the things I need
You know what they say
Where there's a will, there's a way
Lies are free
Talk is cheap
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay A-A-Ay
Woohoo Woohoo
Now we're out in the street
And we sweat in the heat
And we move with the traffic and the beat
I don't care if you choke
When you light up your smoke
It's the one thing I can call my own
It's so tragic
I'm so in it
I'm so jealous, restless, relentless
That's just me.
I'm so crazy lately
Come on, let it be
Don't make me beg for the things I need
You know what they say
Where there's a will, there's a way
Lies are free
Talk is cheap
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay A-A-Ay
Woohoo Woohoo
I'm so tired
You're fired
I'm so jealous, restless, relentless
That's just me.
I'm so crazy lately
Come on, let it be
Don't make me beg for the things I need
You know what they say
Where there's a will, there's a way
Lies are free
Talk is cheap
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay A-A-Ay
Woohoo Woohoo
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay A-A-Ay
Woohoo
Talk is cheap, yeah
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay A-A-Ay
Woohoo Woohoo
Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay A-A-Ay
Yeah, lies are free
And talk is cheap
The song ended and the whole room erupted into clapps and screams. I saw a lightning flash through the window as it started to pour with rain.
"Thankyou!" I screamed, as we went off stage. Me, Sophie, Jack (drummer) and Phillip all shared a group hug. After that, from the corner of my eye I saw Phillip kiss Sophie.
"Yes!" I said, punching the air. Everyone looked at me weird, I just shrugged. When I heard Miss Jackson speak ," And our special guest tonight are the Jonas Brothers singing their cool hit Australia."
I walked out to the front of the stage, just behing a row of screaming fans.
"It's so nice of you guys to let us be here tonight and this song is dedicated to a special friend of ours." Joe locked his eyes with mine. I looked away, but was caught by Nick's. I sucked in breath and turned my gaze elsewhere as they started their song.
Australia
You never listen to me
I know I'm better off alone
Everybody knows it's true
Yeah we all see through you
No it won't be hard to do
Throw away myself from you
Oooh
And I'll wait for her to come
She won't break my heart
'cuz I know she'll be from Australia
She's so beautiful
She's my dream girl
La la la (la la), la la la
She's my dream girl
You were the one I thought I
Needed, I'm better off alone
Everybody knows it's true
They all know your secrets
The only thing you knew was true
Has just walked out of your life
How does it feel
So I'll wait for her to come
She won't break my heart
'cuz I know she'll be from Australia
She's so beautiful
She's my dream girl
La la la (la la), la la la
She's my dream girl
And she will be there,
to love and to care
And no, there's no need to worry
The girl of my dreams
Who I know will be
There to hold me when I'm down Till she's around
I'll just wait for her to come
She won't break my heart
'cuz I know she'll be from Australia
She's so beautiful
She's my dream girl
La la la, la la la
She's my dream girl
Oh yeah
So I'll wait (So I'll wait) for her (for her) to come(to come)
She won't break my heart (she won't break my heart 'cuz I know she'll be)
I know she'll be from Australia
She's so beautiful
She's my dream girl
La la la, la la la
She's my dream girl
Dream girl
Once they finished their song, Joe raced off. I went backstage and pushed, my way passed screaming fans. Kevin was the closest to me.
"Kevin! Kevin!" I yelled, he turned around and spotted me with my hand out towards him trying to get passed, he laugheed and grabbed onto my hand, he yanked me through. I straightend myself, after getting mauled, Kevin was still grinning.
"What are you grinning at?" I asked, he just reaced up and pulled something outta my hair.
"Holy crap, what is it?" I asked.
"Food," Kevin answered, gross, as he went back to signing autographs.
"Where's Nick?" I asked.
"Backstage:"
"Joe?"
"He's in the bathroom."
"Oh, ew." I said, going backstage, but two guards stopped me.
"Sorry ma'm, you can't come back here," the talller one said.
"It's ok, let her," I heard Nick say. They moved outta the way. Nick was sitting on the couch.
"So what did you wanna talk about?" Nick asked.
"Us."
No ones P.O.V.Joe came outta the bathroom, but when he went backstage, he saw Alex. The girl he found out he was falling in love with. He stood behing the curtains when he saw Nick standing with her.
"I'm happy you agree with this," she said, Nick put his forehead on hers.
"I don't," he said.
But Joe, him having to be a boy, jumped to conclusions, when Alex kissed him on the cheek. He made a sound, he never knew he could make. Alex turned and saw Joe running outside into the rain.
Alex's P.O.V.
"Joe." I whispered, then realization hit. "Oh god, Joe!" I yelled, I pulled outta Nick's arms and moved to the door, but Nick caught my hand, I turned around, I could feel myself crying.
"I have to go." I said, pulled out of his grasp and ran into the rain. In seconds I was soaking wet. "Joe!" I yelled, out into the blackness of the night untill I saw him leaning against a lamp post. I ran up to him.
"Joe," he was soaking wet, his hair stuck to his face, his hands were in his pockets.
"Yes?" he asked, being passive.
"Are you ok?" I asked, standing infront of him, it didn't help that he was five inches taller then me.
"Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be?" he asked.
"I can hear the sarcasm,be honest to me."
"Well…OF COURSE I am not ok, you told my brother you loved him!"
"Oh that, no Joe, no. It's nnot like that. I told him that we should be friends, no more. That I don't love him…"
"Really?" Joe asked. "Oh that makes sense, so if you don't love him, is there someone else that stole your heart?"
" I don't know, actually yes, and he is tall,handsome, cute, funny, has brown eyes and brown hair," I said dreaming off.
Joe didn't understand, again. "Who is he? I'll beat the crap out of him!"
"Joe, I was talking about you!"
"You were, so you think I am handsome, cute and funny?"
"Of course I do," I answered, as I looked into his deep brown eyes.
"That's the nicest anyone has ever said to me," when he said that, he kissed me. I needed to stand on my toes. I swore to myself that I would wear platform shoes the next time I met him. It was still raining, as I moved my arms up around his neck. I felt his arms moving around my waist. When we broke off, he put his forehead against mine.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"Why are you sorry?" I asked confused.
"This, this shouldn't happen!"
"But I want this to happen, it's meant to be, god wanted us to meet," I argued.
"I am leaving soon and…how are we going to stay like this if I am somehwere in the world?"
I thought for a moment," I honestly need to say I don't know."
Joe sighed," But lets not worry what will happen in a few days. Lets live the life now" I said. Joe said, "that's what I love about you, you always find the good part in life and he kissed me. I didn't think of the paparazzi that started taking pictures of us. I concentrated on that now.
