Invisible String

Alex's POV

"Crap. Okay baby keep a low profile. If you want to get out of there then you tell the bodyguards and security but mostly the bodyguards, security is always ass. They'll get you out and to the back." Natalie says as she changes her shirt.

"You want me to keep a low profile? When I'm standing next to Joe? How does that work?" I ask.

"It really does go over her head sometimes." Joe says with a chuckle.

"Hey now. Joe you're on thin ice right now. You do make a point though. Well what if you're still by Joe but not by Joe?"

"How does that work?"

"We'll figure it out."

"I do like how we're all keeping this private." Joe says and I laugh.

I turn around as I see the production crew crowding around us.

"Any words?" The camera guy says and Nat smiles.

"I'm in love with that woman." Natalie says pointing at me.

"Nat let's go." Someone shouts from outside the room.

"Joe I'm trusting you to take care of my girlfriend."

"Got it." Joe says and she smiles.

"Go kick ass." I whisper and peck her lips. "I'll keep my eye on you."

"Wouldn't want it any other way." Nat says, a grin on her face. "Also I would hope so since I'm me, I mean come on."

"Alex." Taylor says as she waves me over.

"Yes?"

"Enjoy the show and look out for a song, it reminds me about you and my sister a lot. Thank you for making her happy."

"Which song?"

"To her you're built like a daydream." Taylor says with a smile and walks away.

"What?"

"I know what she's talking about don't worry. It's a beautiful song actually."

"This next song, it's a song that has a special place in my heart." Taylor says. "My wonderful and talented sister helped me write this song and I think that I should have a necklace with her name on it because my sister has definitely been my rock. This song in particular means a lot for the both of us. Call it what you want but I call it the power of our sister duo."

"It's this one." Joe whispers and I nod.

"We hope and I hope you're all having a wonderful time with us tonight." Taylor says.

I squint as I try to find Nat but you can't see the band anymore.

My castle crumbled overnight
I brought a knife to a gunfight
They took the crown, but it's alright
All the liars are calling me one
Nobody's heard from me for months
I'm doing better than I ever was, 'cause

My baby's fit like a daydream
Walking with his head down
I'm the one he's walking to
So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to
My baby's fly like a jet stream
High above the whole scene
Loves me like I'm brand new
So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to

"It's hard for you isn't it." Joe says.

All my flowers grew back as thorns
Windows boarded up after the storm
He built a fire just to keep me warm
