Your POV

We finished all the songs from our EP and I am about to perform the special performance, where I am gonna sing a song, solo. What I am nervous about was I don't know what song I'm gonna sing.

"So tonight we have a solo performance from the one and only Y/N Y/LN!! Let's give her a round of applause!" Scott said and the crowd went wild. Wow I didn't know that I get this much of attention from the audience. I got my guitar and wave at the audience, and sat on the stool that was provided for me in the middle of the stage.

"Good evening ladies and gents, how are you tonight?" I asked the crowd, an I got a responses like:

"Your voice is fucking sexy"

"Your beautiful"

"You're hot"

I chuckled at their responses,

"Thanks for the compliment I guess" I said with a smile.

"So I wanna say thank you to all of you for the warm welcome to our band" I thank the crowd and the girls squealed.

"Damn! Y/N always makes the girls swoon" Parker commented and the crowd laughed. I playfully glared at him.

"Not all the time Nick" I chuckled

"And why is that?" A girl asked me.

I glanced briefly at Lauren who is staring at me intently.

"Because she's way out of my league" I said and then smiled at her.

"So what I am gonna sing today is dedicated to her" I said and I saw Dinah nudged Lauren.

I counted 1 to 4 then strummed my guitar.

(Settle For Less by Before You Exit)

Everybody deserves somebody,
But, girl, nobody can love you like I do.

You could be a super model,
President or write a novel.
But he’s holding you back
And you’re better than that.
He won’t even buy you flowers,
Stay up late and talk for hours.

I think I can do that
I can be better than that.
You should know…

Everybody deserves somebody,
But, girl, nobody can love you like I do.
And I’m not perfect but you’re so worth it.
I wanna change the world for you,
So baby don’t settle for less.
You deserve the best,
You’re better than the rest
And I can be the best,
So baby don't settle for less.

I’ve been watching from the sidelines
His mistakes become my guidelines.
'Cause he’s holding you back
And you’re better than that.
I will love to buy you flowers,
Take the time to talk for hours.
Yeah I can do that.
I can be better than that.
You should know…

Everybody deserves somebody,

You’re better than the rest
And I can be the best,

You deserve the best,
You’re better than the rest
And I can be the best,
So baby don’t settle for less.

He takes you for granted,
Girl, I can’t stand it.
Watching you panic over him.
See he’s just a nobody
I can be somebody,
Someone to love til’ the end.

I am staring at Lauren while I sang the song, and Ari and the girls are teasing Lauren to death, and Lauren was blushing like a ripe tomato.

After I finished the song I quickly stood up and thanked everyone for coming.

"Thank you everyone for coming to our show, have a good night everyone" I said then waved at them.

They cheered for us and the confetti fall on us.

They chant our band name and we grouped hug.

The boys ruffled my hair,

"Guys not the hair" I said and they just laughed at me as I tried to fix my hair.

We held hands then bowed to the audience then we ran to the backstage and we saw Ariana and the girls are waiting for us there.

Ariana ran into me and gave me a massive bear hug.

"Congrats!" She said and I just laughed.

"Thanks Ari" I said

And then Camila gave me a koala hug, then Ally, Normani and then Dinah with another bear hug.

I laughed, then they went to hug the boys.

Then there's Lauren, she really look stunning tonight, she smiled at me and I gave her a smile back.

"The show was great congrats" she greeted me.

"Thanks" I said and she pulled me in a hug.

I became shy all of the sudden. She laughed at me. I think she noticed it and she laughed at me.

"Why did you became so shy all of a sudden" she asked me

"Nothing" I said pulling away from the hug gently. "Because you make me feel so nervous whenever I'm around you" I grumbled.

"What is that?" She asked

"Nothing come on" I said and pulled her towards the group.

*******

"Cheers!" We said and drink.

We are celebrating the success of our first performance and everybody is having a good time, me I am just watching them from a corner, they are just talking about random things and they decided to dance.

They tried to drag me to the dance floor but I refused.

"Come on Y/N, let's dance" Normani said excitedly.

"No, I don't want to just go and have fun, I'll just watch you" I said and Normani pouted,

"Just go ahead" I said laughing and they go.

I just watched them go to the dance floor and danced goofily, I just laughed at them. Then Lauren saw me and she smiled at me then walked towards me.

"Hey why are you here? Alone? Come on let's dance" she said and I shook my head no.

"KJ!" She said then pouted, she's really cute when she pout, that pout that I can't resist, I rolled my eyes.

"Fine" I said and she dragged me to the dance floor.

"Whipped" I heard Dinah said and they laughed.

I stuck out my tongue at her, she did the same.

We danced goofily and just have a good time.

Then a soft music played and I grinned.

"May I have this dance?" I asked Lauren and she smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck and I put my hands on her waist and we danced slowly to the music. She smells like vanilla and strawberry and it was really intoxicating. Hey mesmerizing green eyes met mine, I never felt so lucky to know someone like her. She's amazing, beautiful and down to earth kind of person which I like to a girl.

And I am really, really, really falling hard for her. And I hope that she will catch me.
