Pov Beth

I stand beside the stage, watching Fall Out Boy rock out. I smile as Andy checks to the side of the stage for a moment, the rest, in their element. Casey hobbles over and I sing with her some of the lyrics that they are shouting on stage.

"A constellation of tears on your... LASHES!" I shout.

"Burn everything you love, then burn the... ASHES." She continues.

I shake my head around, letting my hair whip everywhere. Gerard passes me, giving me a look before walking onto stage. He joins them singing and dancing around the stage.

"My songs know what you did in that dark! My songs know what you did in the dark!" I shout.

"So light em up up up, light em up up up, light em up up up, Im on fire!" Casey continues.

Someone shushes us so we resort to just watching the guys on stage. I hold in my excited sing a long and watch as Pete throws his pick into the audience. The song has finished.

I take deep breaths, tired from singing so hard. I decide to follow Casey back to the changing room.

Mikey, Ray and Frank are in there and they wave us in. I slump down on the sofa.

"So? When you guys on?" I ask.

"10 minutes." Ray says.

"Gerards on now." Casey adds.

"Bad ASS!" I input.

"Oh yeah, Patrick was meant to tell you, you guys are recording tomorrow. Apparently they have really good tech here." Mikey says.

"What has it got to do with me?" I ask.

"Youre recording with them."

-------------------------

I walk with the guys into a high tech studio, in Japan. What?

"So, you sing you bit we have been working on and Patrick will work with that and-" Pete says.

"Pete, Ive got it, chillax."

He shrugs at me, unpacking his bass. He grins at me, leaving into the recording box, holding the bass by its neck.

Soon the band is playing, without Patrick. They play the whole backing and as soon as they finish I become extremely nervous.

"Okay, Beth and Patrick go through and warm up." The man recording us says, in a Japanese accent.

I nod, shaking my hands. I follow Patrick into the box when the guys leave. I sit at the back as Patrick goes first, singing with his perfect voice. I wipe my sweaty hands on my jeans. He sounds amazing and Im scared now, what if I mess up?

Soon Patrick is done and he smiles at me, inviting me forward.

They tell me to start with some simple oohs and ahs to compliment Patricks singing. I then sings some harmonies with Patricks chorus, and some middle parts.

"You know Im bad news." I sing into the microphone.

I sing the whole song as a harmony to Patricks, they said they will chose parts to fit in. I close my eyes as my part comes along, my heart pounding out of fear and excitement.

"The world would never look at you the same... Way. And now Im here to give you all my love. So I can watch your face as I take it all away." I sing.

I reopen my eyes and look down, waiting further instructions. I wipe my shaky hands on my jeans. I hear the door open and when I look up, Pete is hovering over my face. He looks in my eyes for a moment before leaning forward an kissing me. I accept in surprise.
