Stars In Her Eyes
"Hello everyone and welcome to Karaoke night at the Brew!" I watched her up on stage as she welcomed everyone here tonight and explained what tonight was about. Everyone clapped as Emily walked off stage and the first artist of tonight got up on stage.
"How did I do?" Emily ask when she reached our table which consisted of myself, Aria, Aria's boyfriend/our old teacher Ezra, Hanna, Hanna's boyfriend Caleb and then our good friend Toby.
"You did great Emily," Hanna was the first to speak as always.
"Yeah, you definitely got your point across," Ezra said and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Thanks, I just hope the rest of the night runs smoothly," Emily said before disappearing to do something.
Hanna said "She is so adorable when she is nervous," I had to stop myself from agreeing with Hanna. No one knew about my feelings for Emily, I thin Emily sort of knew but she never said anything, well she doesn't talk at the best of times so I don't know why this would change it.
"Hey Spence, you okay?" Toby asked while waving a hand in front of my face.
"Yeah, I'm all good. I'm going to go grab another coffee."
"Another one Spencer, that's like your hundredth one today," Ara said worryingly.
"You know us Hastings, we can't get enough coffee. Like our veins are literally made of coffee," I walked away as everyone laughed expect Hanna completely grossed out by the mention of veins. I stood in line passionately waiting for everyone else to serviced and get their orders before they slowly moved on to enjoy the showcase. The current artist was playing the violin, I recognised the tune as 'Adele's Rolling in the Deep' and they were playing quite well.
"Hey Spence what can I get you?"
"Hi Chris, can I please get a large black coffee and can I ask a favour?" Chris was one of the guys who worked with Emily, she always spoke highly of him and I understood why.
"You can but that is your last coffee before your being forced decaf, I've already given you four cups and that is dangerous. What's the favour?" Chris said with a smile as he ringed up my total.
Leaning over the bench to Chris ear, I was grateful when he leant down and I whispered into his ear "I want tell Emily how I feel and I thought tonight would be a good night but I didn't know how to sign up without her knowing."
Chris leant back with a smiled and said "Consider it done, I'll make sure you go last too."
"Thanks Chris," I say taking my change from him.
"No problem Spence," Chris said turning around to make my coffee.
"Have a good night Spence," Chris said while hanging me my cup of coffee.
"Thanks Chris," I turn and head back to the table to enjoy the rest of the night.
"Hello again everyone, it has sadly come to that part of the night where we are down to our last act. I just wanted to say a huge thank-you to all of you who came just to watch or perform, without you guys tonight wouldn't have been possible." We all clapped for Emily as she continued talking about safety when leaving. I couldn't really focus on Emily talking because I was too nervous knowing what I was about to do to try and get Emily as my girlfriend.
"Spencer, would you chill! I can feel your leg bouncing from here," Hanna yelled whispered at me.
"I'm sorry," I whisper back trying to get my knee to settle.
Emily voice brought me back to the stage "Alright, our last act is a singer," I watched as Emily read the name and looked up at the audience searching for me, I nod my head confirming what she was reading was true.
"Sorry, please welcome to the stage Spencer Hastings," my friends faces were priceless, Aria even chocked on her drink. Standing up from my stool as the audience clapped for me and for Emily, I made my up to the stage.
"I didn't know you could sing," Emily said as she stopped me on the wing of the stage.
"Normally I can't but this song I've sang enough to be okay. Can you just really listen."
"Sure Spencer, good luck," smiling at Emily before heading out onto the stage.
Speaking into the microphone "Hi everyone my name is Spencer Hastings, I apologise for Emily's pause she didn't know I was singing tonight and she wanted to make sure she was reading my name correctly," I got a few laughs. I saw Emily take my seat at the table being told by Chris to sit there and I could see she and my friend were confused. As the music to my song began playing I took a deep breath getting ready for what I was about to do.
"When she's okay, then I'm alright. When she's awake, I'm up all night. Nothing really matters, nothing really matters." Singing the opening line was so true for me, if Emily was okay then I was alright and if she was awake then so was I; it was simple.
"I see her face and in my mind, I seize the day. Whenever she's nearby, it's like nothing really matters, nothing really matters." As Emily and I make eye connect for the first moment during the song I see something in her eyes but I can't understand what I am seeing.
"She completes me, how she reads me. Right or wrong. It's so clear she's all that I need, all I need."
"I know what it feels like; I know what it feels like. Swimming through the stars whenever I see her and I don't need air cause I breathe her."
"I know what it feels like; I know what it feels like. I breathe her, I breathe her. Every time I see her, every time I see her, oh." Taking the microphone out of the stand holder, I decided it's time for the audience and my friends to know who I am singing to.
"When I'm lost and I need a sign, she leads the way and I'll be fine. Nothing really matters, nothing really matters." I slowly make my down the stage and through the audience who follow my every move.
"She completes me, how she reads me. Right or wrong. It's so clear she's all that I need, all I need." I make eye contact with a few people in the audience and I can literally see their hearts melting.
"I know what it feels like; I know what it feels like. Swimming through the stars when I see and I don't need air cause I breathe her." I am now finally standing in front of Emily, I can her a few people gasp because of knowing who Emily and I am. Emily is looking at my unbelieving but there's a defiant smile on her face that is magical to me.
"I know what it feels like; I know what I feels like. I breathe her, I breathe her. Every time I see her, every time I see her, oh." Reaching out my left I hand to Emily, I wait and watch before finally Emily reaches out and holds my hand. I hear small giggles from people because I had accidently breathed a sigh of relief into the microphone.
"Every time I see her, oh. Every time I see her, oh." I squeeze Emily's hand and I feel her squeeze it back.
"Well she's okay and I'm all right. When she's awake, I'm up all night. Nothing really matters, nothing really matters." I finish off the song the same way I start it but this time just standing in front of Emily. I did have much time to take the crowd in because the only thing I could focus on was Emily Fields lips on top of mine and how amazing they felt. It took me two seconds to get my brain into gear and I began to kiss her back. It was exactly how I had always pictured it and even better. Hearing someone clear their throats, I pull back from Emily's lips and look to see Chris standing there with this massive smile.
"Congrats you two! It's about time and I need the mic back," he said all in one sentences. Smiling at him, I quickly hand him the microphone back and turn to Emily. I half a second to breathe before Emily starts kissing me again. We went a good solid two minutes before we heard Chris being to talk and decided to listen in. Turning around to face the stage, I felt Emily wrap her arms around my waist and rest her chin on my shoulder. Placing my hands on top of Emily, this had been the best outcome that could've happened tonight.
"Hey everyone, my name is Chris some of you locals my know me and if you don't well know you do. I just want to say a huge congrats to my two best friends in the whole entire world Emily and Spencer. Congrats on finally getting together, these two have like each other for years I recon now and guess who had to listen to them talk about how great the other was," I laughed as Chris raised his hand.
"These two women are seriously amazing, they deserve happiness and they deserve it with each other. Even though they are still in high school and have their whole life ahead of them, I know that they are going to be together forever. Now I'm not saying that they're always going to have a happy ending, they're probably are going to be some fighting and arguing but this two are serious about each other and they'll make it work. I would like to wish my two best friends, the two craziest people I have ever meet in my life the best of luck and may the odds be ever in your favour." I smiled at Chris Hunger Games reference, he hated people you reference stuff from movies or shows but he knew we were crazy about it.
Chris said "I would like to thank everyone who came tonight; hopefully we can these things more often because tonight was a lot of fine. Please get home safely and have a good night," everyone clapped before beginning to get ready to leave.
Turning around to face Emily, I asked "Can I give you a lift home?"
"Sure, Chris told me that I didn't have to stay to help clean up."
"That's great," I say happy about not needing to stay long.
Emily said "That song is my new favourite song."
"I'm glad you like it, I was nervous being that it's a song not many people know but I'm really glad you liked it." Smiling at Emily I went to lean into kiss her but then I felt different arms wrapping around both Emily and I. Looking around I saw Aria, Ezra, Hanna, Caleb, Toby and Chris were all giving us a big hug, which was probably the cutest thing they had ever done.
The End.
A/N: Hey Everyone! I hope you enjoyed this story. At the moment my thing is to use a song to express how a character feels, I don't know if anyone likes it or not but it's fun to do. This one I spent hours trying to find the perfect song to describe Spencer's feelings to Emily and I hope I was able to do that with the song I chose. I didn't actually know this song before finding it on Spotify while looking for the perfect song but the song is called 'Nothing Really Matter - By Mr. Probz' just for those who wanted to know. Thanks for reading my stories! ~With Love From KJ99!
