Rubato - Scarlett Johansson

Part 39

Scarlett's POV

What in the bloody hell is going on? God I sound like Theo right now, I may have been spending too much time with all the British people in my life because since when do I say, or more accurately think, things like bloody hell? Anyway, that's not the point. I am close to sobbing right now, ok I may already be sobbing. But can you blame me after listening to what she has just done? 

She said she had forgotten all about this concert, but the more I watch this show the more I think that couldn't possibly be true. I mean it is so elegantly stitched together, from the harrowing songs to the small storytelling chitchat she is doing in between. It is so different to anything T² would ever perform.

This is raw, this is pure Theo. 

She is laying out her life before the whole audience, a group of a-listers and price-winning fans, the camera crews capturing every moment and believe me every moment is worth capturing. She is more confident up there than I have ever seen her in public. She isn't hiding or pretending right now. She is just being herself and I love that she is doing this. Hell, she was teasing Lizzie, made Flo sob and even managed to find a way to flirt with me in front of everyone. Not to mention she just came out, something I had no idea she was planning on doing. Heck, I had no idea she was planning any of this.

The tears started after she sang Hold on, pictures of her, Flo and the man I am assuming is Aayan playing in the background. It was clearly a very personal song, judging by the tears running down Flo and Theo's faces. Just the sight of her like that had my eyes welling up, so as I listened to the song I was a goner. After that, the tears never really dried up, much to Lizzie's amusement, although when the cameras panned to her just as she whipped away a tear it was my turn to laugh. Suck on that Lizzard.

Hearing the end of her story made my heart swell, from the way she dedicated her last song to the kids to the way she ended her story as finding her love, which sure as hell better be me or I am about to fight a bitch. It was all so sweet that the tears wouldn't stop. I am fairly certain that Theo's hormones have rubbed off on me because that is the only way to explain all the tears I have shed tonight. Can I blame baby T for crying just like Theo does? Because if so it's their fault. I am actually surprised that Lizzie isn't making fun of me, I'm sure Flo would be if she hadn't disappeared backstage after Hold On. 

I was on my way to getting up and finding Theo backstage, needing nothing more than a hug right now, when Lizzie pulled me back into my seat, making me glare at her. "What? I want a hug from Theo" I whined,  sounding just like Rose gets when she doesn't get her own way. Lizzie just laughed shaking her head before pointing at the stage, which was dark a second ago and is now lit back up. I furrow my brows in confusion, looking at Lizzie as if she might know the answer. Hell, I am fairly certain she does know more than she is letting on. Although Lizzie doesn't give me an answer instead she just shakes her head, smirking at me as she nods to the stage where Theo has reappeared. She better stop teasing me or I will result to violence. 

"Or is it the end?" Theo teased, the crowd going wild as she smirked at them teasingly. "You see the girl is in love. Like mind-shattering, world-ending, love and she knows without a doubt that this woman that she loves is the one person made just for her. That she has found the one person who makes her complete. And well, I have one more song and I am hoping this goes well because if it doesn't I am going to look like a right nob, but at least either way this will make for one heck of a show that none of us will be forgetting anytime soon. So, um, love, this one is for you" she whispers into the mic, her previous confidence evaporated as she stares right at me, no cocky smirk or sexy grin, no gimmicks. Just a small gentle smile from the girl I love more than I thought was possible.

I watch as Kat practically skips on stage, buzzing with excitement as she passes Theo her guitar before smiling at me, making me chuckle. Those two idiots are up to something and I am whiling to bet Lizzie is in on it too, I just want to know what they are up to that has them all smirking like that. To think Kat hated that Theo made her a roadie and now she is on stage grinning like a madman, guess Theo is right and it did teach her some good. I watch Theo look around the Hall nervously before tapping her chest three times, right over her heart as she starts to play her guitar.
