Natalie's POV

"Can't keep my hands to myself." I sing.

"Well keep them to yourself." Tay says and I roll my eyes.

"So mean."

"Meh, I love you." Taylor says and I smile.

"Is that my favorite non-Swift?" I hear someone shout.

I turn around and my eyes widen, big smile plastered on my face.

"GIGI." I shout as I run over to her and jump as I wrap my legs around her.

"I see you've grown." She says kissing the top of my head.

"5'11 thanks." I say and she laughs.

"Dang you outgrew me." She says and I snicker.

"Yeah I did by one inch. I'm just as tall as Taylor now." I say getting down and walking away.

"Natalie. Get back here!" Gigi shouts.

"I can't hear you!" I shout as I cover my ears.

I walk over to the mic stand and I strum a chord. I close my eyes as I remember some things from the past. I strum the beginning of 'I Wish You Would'

My first ever girlfriend, broke up with me right when Tay and I were writing the 1989 album. We weren't meant to be. Love is difficult to find. Walls up, can't get hurt.

I wrote 'I Wish You Would' based off of her.

I start strumming the chords as I close my eyes and start singing. Acoustic version always sounds better in my opinion.

You always knew how to push my buttons
You gave me everything and nothing
This mad, mad love makes you come rushing
Stand back where you stood
I wish you would, I wish you would

"NAT."

I open my eyes and see Gigi waving her hands around.

"You have a guest." She says and moves to the side. I see Alex and my eyes widen.

"I-uh Alex, you're early." I say and she just awkwardly shuffles around. "Come on over here."

"Yeah, sorry I didn't know you had rehearsal." Alex says as she walks over towards the front stage.

"Oh no not at all I was just um."

"Messing around?" Alex says and I lightly chuckle.

"Yeah." I say as she stands next to me.

"I wish you would?" Alex asks and I nod. "It's a beautiful song."

"Thanks. I um wrote it." I say rubbing the back of my neck.

"Do you write a lot of songs?"

"Kind of not really. I write for many artists, but when it comes to Taylor she does most of her own writing I just help a little some input here and there. Sometimes she lets me write a song and she sings it."

"That's awesome. Any specific artists you like working with?"

"Taylor." I say and she laughs.
