Fall: A JuliElmo FanFiction

This is a FanFiction! And of course it means that this is PURELY FICTION. None of this is true. Thank you!

“Julie, ano ba? We’re going on stage in two minutes!” I called out as I banged on her dressing room door. “Sandali nga!” She yelled back, obviously annoyed. It took her probably ten seconds to stumble through the door in the attempt to put on her heels. She was wearing a black-sequenced dress and silver heels that made her only an inch shorter than I was. I couldn’t help but giggle at her. She glared at me and I put on a straight face. Something about her wasn’t right today.

“Ba’t ka ba kasi na late? I mean, you’re never late.”

“Ano ba ‘yung problema mo!? Ano naman sa’yo kung ma late ako!?”

“Woah! Be cool, baby. I was just asking.”

“Don’t call me ‘baby’! Hindi mo ako baby, Moe!”

“Japs, what’s wrong?” I held her hand and rubbed it with my thumb. No matter how cold she is, and how much of an ice princess she is, I still felt her heart warm up. She smiled at me and hugged me tight. “I’m sorry. Si Alden kasi… We got into a fight after the opening prod.” She muttered.

“What did you fight about?” I kissed her forehead.

“Ano pa nga ba? Eh di si Louise.”

“Si Louise? Bakit naman si Louise ang pinagaawayan niyo? Hindi ba ex niya yun?”

“Oo nga… Well, they’re always together at isa pa, laging sumusunod yung mga mata ni Alden sa kanya!”

“Japs naman, loveteam niya si Louise. Siyempre, dapat magkasama sila palagi. Tayo nga palaging magkasama din. At walang nakakaalam na kayo na ni Alden. Papano na yung JuliElmo at DenLou kung malalaman na kayo na pala ni Alden?”

“I’m his girlfriend, Moe! Iba naman tayo sa kanila. Bestfriends tayo. Sila, mag-ex. At bakit mo ba pinagtatanggol si Alden!?”

“Japs, wala akong kinakampihan. Okay? Alam mo, mag concentrate ka nalang diyan sa prod natin kasi we’re next na.” I said. When Raymond and Tim announced our names, Julie patted my shoulder and walked onstage. The spotlight shone on her and it’s as if she’s transformed into an angel. I don’t really remember when I started falling for my best friend. All I know is, I lost my chance to be with her when she started falling for someone else.

She had just turned eighteen then, we were spending so much time together that I could feel something different was building up inside me. She always had this smile on her face, as if there was nothing wrong in this world. She was always so energetic, so full of joy, so full of hopes and dreams that it was impossible for me not to be influenced by how amazing she was. I wasn't in a good place when she came along. I was in a very dark world, but she became my glimmer of light. She was my best friend. I never thought it would happen. But it did. I fell for my best friend.

The stage director signaled for me to go on stage. I could hear the crowd scream my name. I took one deep breath and stepped onstage. I could hear them shrieking with every step I was making which brought me closer to Julie.

“We belong together… Always and forever… Just call my name and I’ll be there…” She finished.

“Gripping a pen in my hand, paper on the other side, don’t know where my thoughts will land…” I started rapping as I approached the girl of my dreams. She was looking down when I was a few feet away from her. But when I stood still, her eyes finally met mine. I almost forgot the lyrics to my rap when she gave me her most enchanting smile. Luckily, I bounced back into the groove. She moved closer to me and put her hand on my nape. At that exact moment, it was as if the whole world had disappeared and only the two of us were left. “But I have a question, are you down to be with me if ever? Gotta say whenever cause I wanna be with you together forever. You know I gotta tell you something. I’m a real shy lover. But all I’m asking is just one summer.” I continued. She smiled. It was the first time she heard that rap. I made it especially for her.  “Every day and every night, I keep looking at the sky and I pray that someday you will wake up in my arms and love will never end.”  She sang to me. Her hand was still on the back of my neck. Her other hand was holding her microphone. I wrapped my arms around her waist so that we would be sharing one microphone. She smirked at my actions and she welcomed it by sharing her microphone with me. We sang, “We belong together, always and forever, just call my name and I’ll be there…”
