Guitar Boy~ L.h

fifteen

I've always believed that a musician is made in live performances, you can be talented but if you can't handle a stage your talent won't take you anywhere. Those few moments before going on stage and nerve wrecking, but exiting at the same time, your hands are sweating, you're all jumpy and you're just thinking "holy shit, I'm gonna do this", But the moment you get on that stage with your instrument it's like all of that goes away. Music is your weapon, what makes you different from everyone else and most importantly, what makes you incredibly happy, so it's like just going on there and screaming "look at what I can do" to the world, and it feels amazing.

So here I was, sitting backstage with a very fidgety Luke, waiting for our turn to go onstage. Luke's knee wouldn't stop bouncing up and down and he kept pulling on his lip ring so hard it was a mystery to me how he hadn't ripped it off yet.

"Luke" I placed my hand on top of his knee, making it stop bouncing and catching his attention "you'll ne fine"

he bit down harder on his lip and nodded, although i knew he didn't believe me. I moved my hand to his sweaty one and squeezed it. Suddenly our names were being called through the microphone and i was dragging luke to the stage. The first thing I did was arranging the chairs so they were facing each other, then I sat behind my keyboard as Luke took his guitar, he looked at me and I just mouthed "just look at me" to him, to which he nodded.

"Hey guys" I said into my microphone "I'm Hailey, this is Luke, and we are gonna play a song called Vegas skies by the cab"I smiled before I started pressing the keys, hearing Luke follow with his guitar.

" It's Twelve O'Clock and I need your attention
It's like the alcohol
Making my head spin
Your scent is the rum
The room is a bottle
Keeping me hopeless 'til I wake tomorrow
If tonight ever makes a difference
The way that I feel
The way that I'll remember it
I'll take this down until the glass remains
Swallow the words that I was meant to say

It's a long drive back to Vegas Skies
So why don't I make one more wrong turn tonight

So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and know that the timing was right

All of these guards they stand tall and defensive
Putting up walls around what once was innocent
They won't let me in, but I'm stronger than that
'Cause you stole my eyes and I've never looked back
Girl, last night I forgot to mention
The way that I feel, the way that I'll remember this
When we're this young
We have nothing to lose
Just a clock to beat and a hand to choose

It's a long drive back to Vegas Skies
So why don't I make one more wrong turn tonight

So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and know that the timing was right

It's a long way down
Just fall into place and you'll fall into me
We'll make it out
You'll see

So say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and
Say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and know that the timing was right"

My eyes switched between Luke and my keyboard the entire time, making sure he was okay and not having a panic attack or something.

I watched as he closed his eyes while singing, crunching up his nose when he hit a higher note, I watched as his shoulders swayed slightly to the beat of the song, his foot tapping on the floor as well, and I watched as he sang the final note, releasing a heavy breath and finally opening his eyes to meet mine, a relieved smile on his lips, and in that moment I knew, I was completely and helplessly in love with Luke Hemmings.

Okay but really I have to perform in front of my whole school in a few weeks and I'm dying because the last time I did that the audio of my piano cut off and I had to keep playing in silence and I NEARLY SHIT MY PANTS
