Why Love When Its Hopeless?

Chapter 28

~Shelby's POV~

We finally got to Orlando. I'm in the stadium, sitting in the front row of the all the empty seats. No one else is here, everyone is either out exploring the city or backstage. Justin and Selena went out to who knows where. I'm pretty sure the guys (Fredo and Ryan) are hanging around the stadium too: probably riding their segways through the halls. Everyone is out having fun while, I'm here doing nothing. I sighed, and got up. I walked behind the stage to see only Scrappy. I walked over to him.

"Hey Scrappy!" I greeted making my way over to him. He turned around from what he was doing.

"Hey Shelly! What are you doing here and not with everyone else?" He said, with a confused face. I shurgged my shoulders.

"I don't know. I guess I just wanted to be by myself." I said looking down at my feet for a split second. "But, hey do you need any help? I know I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but I could always learn." I asked, feeling nervous about his response. 

"Of course! I need to do a sound check. I gotta test out the mics and the soundtracks. Could you take this and go out to the stage and try it out for me?" he asked, with a smile on his face. The nerves went away, and a smile formed.

"Sure! Sounds like fun." I said, a smile forming. It feels good to know I can help out. Scrappy chuckled a little.

He handed me Justin's microphone and turned around, flipping some switches and pushing buttons. I tapped it to make sure it worked, a loud thud was sounded throughout the whole stadium.

"Go ahead and head out there." He said one he got everything ready. I nodded my head and walked onto the huge stage. Once I reached the middle and in front of the cat walk, I put the microphone to my lips. A few seconds later I heard the melody to my favorite song of My World 2.0. I smiled and couldn't help but sing.

"It feels like we've been out at sea, oh. So back and forth that's how it seems, and when I wanna talk you say to me that if it's meant to be it will be. Whoa-oh-oh. So crazy is this thing we call love, and now that we've got it, we just can't give up. I'm reaching out for you, get me out here in the water and I..."

"I'm overboard and I need your love to pull me up. I can't swim on my own, it's too much. Feels like I'm drowning without your love, so throw yourself out to me, my lifesaver. Life saver, oh life saver. My life saver. Life saver, oh life saver. Whoa"

My voice echoed everywhere in the stadium. I felt so alive on stage, it's like no one can touch me. I continued to sing my heart out. But when someone else joined, my heart skipped a beat.

"Never understood you when you'd say, you wanted me to meet you halfway. Oh, I felt like I was doing my part, you kept thinking you were coming up short. It's funny how things change cause now I see, oh. So crazy is this thing we call love, and now that we've got it we just can't give up. I'm reaching out for you, got me out here in the water and I..."

"I'm overboard and I need your love to pull me up. I can't swim on my own, it's too much. Feels like I'm drowning without your love, so throw yourself out to me, my lifesaver."

I turned around to see Justin, walking up to me, singing along with me. My smile grew as so did his. We started to sing together and we sounded amazing together. And I don't think I'm just saying that.

"Oh, it's supposed to be some give and take, I know. But you're only taking and not giving anymore. So what do I do?" Justin and I looked into each others eyes, enjoying this moment. 

"Cause I still love you, and you're the only one who can save me. I'm overboard and I need your love to pull me up. I can't swim on my own. It's too much. Feels like I'm drowning without your love.." Justin walked around me, causing my eyes to never leave his as we sang together. He came up to me and put his hand on my waist, pulling me closer to him. "So throw yourself out to me, my lifesaver. Life saver, oh life saver, my life saver. Life saver, oh life saver. Whoa. Life saver, oh life saver. My life saver. Life saver, oh life saver. Yeah."
