Dreaming of you ~ Kaylor oneshots

The rivals

Kaylor AU where Taylor and Karlie are in rival bands.

Taylor's POV:

AND PLEASE WELCOME ONTO THE STAGE, THE LEGGY LADIES.....

I rolled my eyes. What sort of name was that? They sauntered onto the stage and took their places. Okay, fine. So they were all tall and had gorgeous long legs but still, what a stupid name. They had been our rivals for almost 2 years now and we always seemed to end up against each other. My band and I sat through their awful performance. As the lead took the mike again I couldn't help but notice how her legs were the longest and how she was the tallest and by far the prettiest. Her voice rang out and sent shivers down my back. Sure, their band name was stupid but boy could she sing. Shut up Taylor. She is stupid. They finished the song and our entire group booed under our breaths. We quickly got up and made our way backstage. There was a 10 minute interval which left our group some spare time. "Okay guys, we have this in the bag" said Cara. We nodded and gave each other a quick hug. Our group was more of a band than "The leggy ladies" We had a drummer, two guitarists who both sang, one main singer and one backing singer. I was guitarist along with Ed. We both sang. Cara was on drums and then Luke and Lily were the lead singers. Our group was awesome.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN....PLEASE WELCOME THE NEW ROMANTICS....

I took a deep breath and we all walked out onto the stage. I picked up my guitar, flicked my hair out of my face and cleared my throat. Lily introduced us and soon we began to play.

We're all bored, we're all so tired of everything

We wait for trains that just aren't coming

We show off our different scarlet letters—

Trust me, mine is better

We're so young but we're on the road to ruin

We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing

We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom

Honey, life is just a classroom

I strummed my guitar and soon it was time for my solo. I counted to three in my head and began singing perfectly on time.

Cause, baby, I could build a castle

Out of all the bricks they threw at me

And every day is like a battle

But every night with us is like a dream

 

Baby, we're the new romantics

Come on, come along with me

Heart break is the national anthem

We sing it proudly

We are too busy dancing

To get knocked off our feet

Baby, we're the new romantics

The best people in life are free

My voice rang out on the last line and soon Luke and Lily took back the lead. The rest of the song went well and on the last verse we all sang, harmonizing perfectly. As the last note strummed out there was a silence. Suddenly the room was filled with clapping and whistling. I couldn't be happier.

Karlie's POV:

New romantics walked on stage and I couldn't help but scowl. They were so annoying. Their song began to play and their voices rang out. I slumped in my seat. I was getting bored. But then it all went quiet and a beautiful clear voice rang out, louder and better than all the others. I sat up. A girl around my age who was playing the guitar at the back was singing as she gently played her guitar. Why was she not the lead singer? She was amazing. Wait. I couldn't be thinking this. Their song finished and soon they walked off stage. There was a twenty minute interval before the two final bands were going to play. I excused myself and went to the bathroom. My heart was in a constant rapid pace. We had to win this. New Romantics had been against us in 10 battles. They had won 4 and we had won 3. The rest neither of us had won. They were in the lead and if we didn't win they were going to be ahead. I suddenly realised I had no idea where I was. Frowning I looked for a toilet sign but couldn't find one. In fact I couldn't find any signs. Great. If I was lost I would die. Hurrying along the corridors I prayed for a way back.

Taylor's POV:

We had a 20 minute interval so we decided to go to the bar. "Guys, no matter who wins we will still be ahead of "the leggy ladies". If they win we will be drawing and if we win we will be ahead. If someone else wins we will still be ahead. So no matter what we will have a win, win situation" Ed and Cara nodded. "HEAR,HEAR" they shouted in agreement. Luke and Lily nodded smiling. I glanced at my watch. I had 10 minutes till the next performance so an hour till the results. I got up and went in search for the toilets. Walking down the corridor I noticed a door that was opened saying NO ENTRY. Curiosity got the better of me and I wandered down it. It was like a maze of corridors. How big was this place? Soon I was lost. Shit shit shit. Why was I so stupid? I hit the wall hard. "OWWW....SHIT. FUCK. SHIT." I screamed in pain. I heard someone running around the corner. I turned around to see the girl from "The leggy ladies" running around the corner.

Karlie's POV:

I heard someone yell in pain and I ran around the corner to see the girl I had admired from before hopping about clutching her hand. "Are you okay?" I asked. She looked at me and nodded her head curtly. I stood awkwardly, unsure of what to do. "Ummm...can I do anything to help?" She clenched her teeth. "It's alright, it just hurts a little." "Then why are you clenching your teeth like that?" She took a deep breath. "I'm not clenching my teeth because of the pain, it's because you're standing there and I don't like you" I raised my eyebrow. "Excuse me?" I stood up straighter. "We don't know each other" She smirked. "Yeah, but we are rivals" I laughed. "I mean it's a little hard to be a rival with a band that can't even sing or perform properly" She laughed at me. "Well who's ahead of you?"  I smirked. "That's very sad that you keep count. Show's how much we mean to you" She advanced on me until we were face to face. "You mean nothing to me" I laughed. "Come on Taylor, let me just look at your hand." She blinked twice. "How do you know my name?" Shit. "I...umm....i just do" I stuttered lamely. She smirked at me again. I blushed and grabbed her hand. I gasped and let go. It was like sparks had ignited. She was blushing a bright red and I would have made fun of her apart from I was too. She was still really pretty though. Her blonde hair was long and straight and her bangs were just a little too long. "She's really pretty up close too." Taylor gasped and I realised I had said it out loud. My face turned an even brighter red. She giggled. I picked up her hand again ignoring the sparks. It was swollen and spots of blood oozed out of the small cuts. "What did you do?" I asked gently. "I punched the wall" she said looking down at her feet. I laughed. "Listen, I know we are in rival groups but maybe we can be friends?" She took a deep breath. "Maybe we can be more?" and she lent in for a kiss. My eyes widened and my heart beat faster than ever before. I kissed her back and soon I had pushed her against the wall. A speaker rang out announcing the results would be announced shortly. Had it really been that long? Taylor laughed. "I guess we won't find out the results then" I grinned and we stumbled into a room and locked the door.

A/n: I know I said I would make them to do with dreaming but I'm just going to write little one shots instead. :)
