Riptide (a lauren jauregui love story)

Part 21

Jacksons pov
We sat in catering and talked and laughed. Me and the other girls except Camila because no one had quite forgiven her yet and she likes to eat with Shawn.
"So Jackson this EP reveal thing tonight will be fun right?" Ally says.
"I wrote a song for this little Munshkin right here!" I poke Lauren's side.
"Seriously are you guys dating?"
"No I just wrote a song for her! She has a boyfriend and I have a girlfriend but we haven't made it official thing!"
"So is the song romantic!"
"If you want you can view it that way but it's more so not and you'll hear it!" I told them. They all nodded.
"Well Lauren you know about it so what kind of the feel of the EP what's it like?"
"Well it's raw very few instruments at all except If you left him for me which is super electronic but we kind of stripped that down to electro beats and a guitar so even still it's loud but still raw in theory. It's really good from what I've heard!"
"Guys showtime is in 1 hour let's go get final touches and do warm ups." Camila walks over and tells us. The girls nod then turn away and pick up their stuff to throw out. I went to my dressing room and drank lots of water and keep dehydrated and warmed up. I tuned my guitar and played some chords. Later Lauren came in.
"Good luck baby I'm so proud of you and so excited to heard your EP. I'll be siting front row."
"Thank you baby girl!" I kiss her cheek.
I was still thinking about that girl.
"You still thinking about that girl?" She asks reading my mind.
"Yeah it's I know like why like she was feeling pain but there were so many and most looked fresh couldn't have been more than a few days old."
"Well not everyone has a huge support like you. You may have just changed her life. We've had Harmonizers tell us they stopped cutting after we told them not to cut. They said we changed their lives. You very well may have just changed hers."
"Really?"
"Yeah now go out there give the performance of your life Jasmine just finished."
"Thanks Lau!"
"No problem!" She always knows what I'm thinking, how in feeling, she can read me like a children's book. Now her she's more complicated she's like an old classic book. You read it and you understand but sometimes you have to backtrack because you just don't know what's happening. She's complicated but I can read her. For me she's like a book you've read so many times you know it verbatim. I l...love her. Word vomit. I don't know do I love her. Well tonight's EP will explain.

I walked on stage and the crowd was huge and cheering. They were so loud tonight was going to be a good show.
"Alright guys! Hey I'm Jackson Danielson or Jack Danielson if you want but that sounds too much like the whiskey." They all laugh.
"Anyways y'all I have a really huge treat for all of you! My EP comes out in a few weeks now." They cheered.
"Oh stop!" I say jokingly.
"So I thought for tonight's show I would play my EP instead of the covers how's that sound?" They cheer and clap and chant.
"So I know you're all going to be disappointed but Gentleman is not on it sadly. But I'm still gonna sing it." I sang gentleman and everyone sang along.
"So guys this next song I wrote with a very good friend of mine, I think you know her Lauren?" I say and the crowd cheers.
"Now this song we wrote about some exes we had. We moved on but this song is like our last f-u to them, she doesn't know I put it on the EP. Now she may be pissed but I kept her vocals in that she did as an example." I look at Lauren who was sitting next to Camila who was sitting next to Shawn. She looked surprised and slightly pissed off.
"She's sitting in the front row and will probably kill me after the show." They cheer again and look towards Lauren. Dinah who's on her other side elbowed her.
"Ok so here it goes."
"I was gonna write you a love song just the other day
So I sat down and thought real hard but nothing ever came
I took a walk downtown and it hit me like a train
So I grabbed a napkin and started scribbling away

And I was like woah-oh, woah-oh
Sexy can't make up for crazy, no-oh, no-oh
And girl, you crazy as shit

This song's for selfish girls
They want the whole wide world
They just want everything
(We just want everything)
And they cry when the sky ain't blue
This song's for selfish girls
They want the whole wide world
I give them everything
And there ain't nothing I can do
