Beyond the Lights (emison)

Chapter 62

alison pov

when i was walking with selena around on the pier of the beach i heard from the stage they have.

"so this is a fresh song. it's a bit slow but i think you'll like it. it's called nothing like us."

i shot my head to selena with wide eyes and she raised her eyebrow.

"emily?" i mouthed.

we got closer and i tried to stay out of sight while i watched.

emily was sat in front of a piano and she adjusted the mic.

she placed her fingers on the keys and closed her eyes.

"Ohh...Ohhh....uh...

Lately I've been thinkin',

Thinkin' bout what we had,

I know it was hard,

It was all that we knew, yeah

Have you been drinkin'

To take all the pain away?

I wish that I could give you what you deserve...

'Cause nothing can ever,

Ever replace you.

Nothing can make me feel like you do, yeah.

You know there's no one

I can relate to.

And know we won't find a love that's so true...

There's nothing like us,

There's nothing like you and me,

Together through the storm.

as emily sang i felt my eyes well up and i tried so hard to hold back the tears but they came anyways.

selena noticed and she pulled me into her body, hugging me warmly.

There's nothing like us,

There's nothing like you and me,

Together, oh

I gave you everything, baby,

Everything I had to give.

emily riffed loudly and i saw on a screen that she was crying too.

Girl, why would you push me away, yeah?

Lost in confusion,

Like an illusion,

You know I'm used to making your day...

But that is the past now,

We didn't last now,

I guess that this is meant to be, yeah...

Tell me, was it worth it?

We were so perfect.

But, baby, I just want you to see...

at this point i think emily knows i am there. because we made eye contact. her eyes looked more nervous now and i couldn't help but smile lightly at her.

There's nothing like us,

There's nothing like you and me,

Together through the storm.
