Rey sighed as Ben was back stage . "Okay, this is Finn , Poe , Hux and my very vocally challenged cousin Gwen who decided it's be smart to scream her lungs out at a game... Anyway were gonna do a simple set of five songs ... Closer by the Chainsmokers , This Is Gospel by Panic . Immortals by Fall Out Boy , Alphabet Boy by Melanie Martinez and then finding with I Write Sins not Tragedies " Ben told her .
"Okay... I know all those songs ... Do i just like stand there or -"
"Just kinda hold the mic and then do whatever the music asks you too"
"Whatever the music asks me too ?" Rey asked and then Finn put his hand on her shoulder .
"However the music makes you feel"
"Thanks" Rey said sheepishly and then the band walked on the stage .
"Hello ! We are .... Well we don't have a band name yet but we we will soon so yeah... Anyway who's ready for some music ?" Ben called out.
Hux at the keys began to play some notes and and then slowly Finn joined on the drums and Gwen began to play the guitar and Poe was on the electric while Ben was in the front as a bass.
Thank God Rey didn't have to play an instrument because the most recent song she preformed on an instrument was "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" .
"Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue
But I'm OK
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them
Again" Ben was singing and playing the music on his base .
"I know it breaks your heart" he looked at Rey as if telling her to come to the mic in the center .
"Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop" he took a deep breath and went back to singing.
"So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older" he moved to stand next to her and sang through the mic she had .
"We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older" he gave her smile , telling her this is her part to sing .
"You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you,
I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson,
OK" Rey sang and everyone in the restaurant and band must have paused because of the beauty of her voice that shocked them all.
"I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop" she finished her versus and looked to the audience who was cheering and clapping as well as plenty of people snap chatting this performance.
"So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older" both Rey and Ben sang together , his hands on his bass gripping the neck tightly.
"We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older" the managed to say on the same time as the band around them played and Rey began to do the little claps.
"So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older" Ben sang , looking at the her , now Rey was looking out at the crowd with a smile on her face .
"We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older" Rey joined him halfway through making such an impact with her voice.
"We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older" the finished their last versus and allowed the music to slowly fade out around them .
The crowd began to cheer and Rey's smile grew even larger . Ben couldn't help but smile to himself as he walked back to his own mic so that they could move onto This Is Gospel .
