Invisible String

Alex's POV

"I thought she was going to come down." Tobin whispers and I shrug.

"I thought so too." I say.

Rockstar 🎸: There were some conflicts with me going down to meet the team. There just wasn't enough time before the game. Sorry. But hey you're all still invited to my concert (: Love you baby.

"I guess there was some conflicts?" I say looking at Tobin.

"Conflicts? What conflicts?" Tobin asks.

"Apparently not enough time before the game. I don't know, but she said she left some t-."

"WE HAVE TICKETS FOR HER CONCERT." Sonnett shouts.

"That." I say.

"Alex you beautiful human. I love you for this." Sam says as she hugs me. "Do you think we can finally meet her?"

"Um, I'm not sure." I say. "She was apparently supposed to meet everyone when she went to the game but there were some time conflicts. But hey tickets!"

"I'll take anything from her." Sam says.

"Well go get ready." I say and the girls all run to their rooms.

"You're so mean, not telling them you're married to her." Tobin says and I laugh.

"I don't think they'd believe it." I say and Tobin chuckles.

"True."

"We got free merch! MERCH." Rose shouts as she runs in the hallway.

"Woo!" Nat shouts. Her blue sleeveless shirt exposing her tattooed arms.

The stadium goes dark as the lights turn off for a second and then they're turned back on. An acoustic guitar in her hand.

"Please sing a Taylor Swift. Please sing a Taylor Swift song." The girls all whisper.

Nat strums her guitar and begins to sing. A single light shining on her. Strumming her guitar as she sings.

If you could see that I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So, why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

The lights all turn on revealing the band, but not her band.

"Please help me welcome my sister, Taylor Swift." Natalie says as she motions her arm towards Taylor.

Taylor walks onto the stage in her black dress, waving at the crowd as everyone screams.

"I LOVE YOU." Rose shouts.

"HOW AM I STILL BREATHING." Sam shouts as she uncontrollably sobs.

Taylor walks over to Nat as she brings her microphone up.

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So, why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Natalie walks over to Taylor as she and two other band members of Taylor begin to play the solo in the song.

Natalie's POV

I smile as Taylor and I rest our foreheads against each other as I play my part of the song.

"I'm still mad at you." I say with a smile.

"Give me a break." Taylor says with a smile.

Taylor and I both get close to my microphone as we sing together.

Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh

I let go of my guitar as I look at Taylor, a smile on our faces as we sing.

When you know you're 'bout to cry

I clap two times and I sway with my guitar as I walk around the stage. I look up and find the girls. I smile as I see Alex laughing with her teammates. I then see a sobbing Sam who seems to be singing along.

The song ends and I step aside.

"My sister and her band everyone." I say and the stadium cheers.

"Hey you." I say as I pull Alex into my dressing room. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too." Alex says then pecks my lips. "The shirt you wore for the first couple songs, absolutely made your arms look very nice."

"Oh really? Is that so?" I ask as I kiss her nose.

"Yes."

"Dude! Insane!" Tobin shouts from outside of my dressing room.

"You can't come with me?" Alex asks and I laugh lightly.

"I wish I could but this tour doesn't stop. We're headed to Denver I think. I can't keep up. But I'll hopefully meet you before your send off games."

"Wrap it up you two." Tobin says as she bangs on the door. "Taylor is coming."

"She's not allowed to come near me." I shout.

"She's your sister." Alex says as she grabs my face. "Talk to her."

"I'll talk to her when she apologizes." I say pecking her lips. "I love you."

"I love you too, but talk to her."

"I hope to meet the girls next time, I'm sorry time is so short. I just wanna get out there and meet some fans. You know I love spending as much time as I can with you but I have to get going as do you."

"I love you babe but I absolutely hate it when you change the subject." Alex says and I laugh.

"Look I have the necklace you gave me on." I say with a smile as I pull the necklace out from under my shirt. "It's A, A for asshole."

"Yeah? Mine is N, N for not talking to you until you talk to your sister." Alex says as she taps my chest with her finger and I gasp.

"Baby."

"Come on Tobin, let's go." Alex says as she walks to the door.

"So I don't get a kiss?" I ask and Alex walks back to peck my lips. "Nice."

"Hi Taylor, she's inside. She wants to talk to you." I hear Alex say outside of the room.

"A for asshole!" I shout.
