I Will Wait [Jessie J]

Chapter 97 - 18th May 2015 - Marry You

*Emma's pov*

Almost five months had passed since Christmas and I was in the middle of my exams. To be honest, they were going awfully. The only exam that I really revised for was music. Rachel and Lucy both blamed my bad exams on the gorgeous piano that I got for Christmas and the recording studio that Jess had. I was always in there when I wasn't doing anything useful. Apparently I was spending too much time in there but that piano and the recording studio is what I wanted to do in life. I wasn't bothered on anything else.

Jess had been away for most of the year doing various world tours for her third album, Sweet Talker. I was so proud of her; some of her shows in America were sold out. I was also proud of her because she was so much more emotionally stronger than she used to be. She didn't let things get to her and she talked to me more about her feelings. I was almost certain that she was over her self-harming self (she hadn't self harmed for months) but I knew that she could easily slip back into it but I wasn't too concerned about it.

Jess had been back a week and I'm glad she was there for me then, not only had we been together for a year and a half, but Claude Kelly was coming back over to assess me. He wanted to give me a job. I was more than nervous but Jess had reassured me that "there's no way that he would ignore a talent as big as yours". I was still scared shitless. This was my dream, I needed this to go right.

As a result, I barely slept at all the night before that. I knew I had stopped Jess getting a decent night sleep, but Danny was in the only spare bed that was made up. Jess had decided to invite Danny to stay with us, well me, whilst she was away and he decided to stay for a while longer, which Jess and I had absolutely no problem with whatsoever. I loved Danny like he was family and I know Clair loved it when Danny was around. He'd managed to get some time to stay here in between tours because of our studio, him and the boys would come and record their new songs.

Anyway, it was going on four a.m. when I decided to get up. I had been awake for half an hour and it was evident that I wasn't going to get any more sleep. I took myself down to the basement to double check everything was all set up.I was so paranoid about something going wrong and panicking. Claude was testing me on my original work and how I was able to mix a song and how I was able to record. Jess and I had rehearsed, rehearsed and rehearsed some more over the last week. We had got it as perfect as it was going to get, I just hope Claue would be happy enough with it.

My original song was ready to play to him, he only wanted to hear the demo of it. I decided that I'd record and mix the same song. Jess was going to sing a version of Marry You by Bruno Mars that I had rewritten. It sounded gorgeous, even if I do say so myself. Everything was ready to go and I decied to listen to my original song once more.

"Ems?" Jess shook my shoulder gently.

"Huh?" I must have fallen asleep. I rubbed my eyes and stretched. Sleeping in that chair is not comfortable.

"How long have you been down here for?"

"Uh... since fourish? What's the time now?"

"Half past ten." Jess answered.
