Let Them See You (Joey Stamper/Anthem Lights)

Chapter 4

~Joey's P.O.V.~

"Ariana, I want to take you somewhere." I said grabbing her hand and making my way to the door. We walked to the car and drove off. About ten minutes later, we reached the beach. She said, "The beach?" I smiled. We got out of the car and walked towards the water. There wasn't many people here, and the sun was just about to set. I sat on the sand, she raised an eyebrow. I laughed. She shrugged and sat down next to me. "So?" She said. I looked at the beautiful sky in front of me. Man, God is good. I said, "Look how awesome the sun set is." She looked, and her face lit up. "It's beautiful."

"True that." I said. She laughed and said, "So, your music. What do you write about?" I smiled, "God, and how good He is." She looked down at her feet, like she was uncomfortable. She was silent for a minute and than said, "Joey, how do you know He's real? What if you go your whole life believing in Him, and than you die, and nothing happens. You just die. Your whole life was wasted." 

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. "Because I've been changed by Him. He continues to work in my life every day. Just look around, look at God's beautiful creation. This could of only happened because of Him."

She looked at me, with sadness in her eyes, and just nodded. We returned back to her house and the guys were back. They were sitting on the couch. Alan had his guitar out and was playing some song. They noticed us, "Hey, where were you guys?" I said, "We went to the beach." He nodded. 

~Ariana's P.O.V~

The guys were jamming, and honestly, they were all so talented. Alan, Caleb, and Chad went upstairs to bed, leaving Joey and I by ourselves. He was just strumming his guitar.

I jumped on the couch next to him, "Play me something?"

He looked up and said, "What song?"

I thought for a minute, "Wanted by Hunter Hayes" He nodded and started to play the chords, while singing,

You know I'd fall apart without you

I don't know how you do what you do

'Cause everything that don't make sense about me

Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl I need you

But it's more than one and one makes two

Put aside the math and the logic of it

You gotta know you want it too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty

You get that all the time, I know you do

But your beauty's deeper than the makeup

And I wanna show you what I see tonight

When I wrap you up

When I kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

'Cause baby I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel

I wanna make you feel better

Better than your fairy tales

Better than your best dreams

You're more than everything I need

You're all I ever wanted

All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Yeah, baby I wanna make you feel

Wanted

'Cause you'll always be wanted.

He finished and I literally melted. His voice is perfect. He smiled and said, "Did you like it?" I nodded, "Your amazing." 

"Thank you." He said.  There was a moment of silence, but it wasn't awkward. I looked at my phone and it was like, 9:30. I stood up and said, "Night Joey, I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled, "Night, Ariana." I went upstairs to my room and changed into my pajamas. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and jumped into bed, and dreamt of Joey.
