I apologise for the time skip but it just drags otherwise
Leondre's POV**
It's our last show, and Emily killed it, she was amazing, and not to brag but so were we. Tour has been amazing, and Charlie and I have been having chats late into the night. He thinks me and Emily will get married, have kids. Him and Chloe have been laughing and cooing over how adorable we are, and what our kids would be like. Honestly, I secretly hope they're right...
Emily's POV**
I watch them perform their last show, grinning like an idiot, jumping up and down and screaming like a complete twat, but hey, they're amazing and my friends (okay Leondre's my boyfriend but we started out as friends) and so I'm allowed to show them support.
They come off stage, have some water, and I kiss Leondre quickly.
He puts his arm around my waist, hand slipping under my shirt to trace the tattoo again. He's memorized exactly where it is, how big it is and exactly where the detail is, it's a little bit ridiculous, and annoying when he traces it over and over.
"Don't you have an encore to do?" I smile at him and he nods at me.
"Yeah, but so do you."
"Come on Em." Charlie leads the way, and Leondre walks with me, still tracing my tattoo.
"Haha, nope." I try and stay off the stage, out of sight, but Leondre just picks me up.
Cue the shrieks and squirming.
"I hate you, Devries."
"Aw isn't that sweet, can you please stop kicking my chest?" He laughs in his cute little Welsh accent and almost drops me as I refuse to stop. Now I stop. I don't need him to drop me.
"Alright, so while these two have their lovers spat, who wants to hear a song?"
The crowd goes wild as I blush, and so does Leondre.
"Okay, it's a new song, and it's not actually written by us, it was written by Emily. It's called Dreams Come True, so are you ready?" Charlie says, and my mouth falls open. I wrote that literally last week, how-
"I heard you singing it the other day, so um-" Leondre doesn't look at me. I tackle him with a hug, and we end up on the floor, making Charlie burst out into laughter, the music stop and the bambinos cheer.
"What are you two doing?" Charlie helps me and Leo up.
"I tackled him."
"Yeah, and I just wasn't ready-"
"Yo, can we get this thing going please?" I say laughing, pointing to the waiting girls.
"Alright, here we go. Just sing or whatever when you want or it fits?" Charlie asks and I smile, nodding.
"Wake up in the morning lying next to you
It's only three in the morning, don't know what to do
Guess I'll lie here just thinking about my life
Cause dreams, they come true, but nightmares can do, too" Charlie looks at me and I grin, joining in for the chorus."But it's you;
You are the reason for my life to be
As happy and hopeful and carefree, and me?
Well I'm just a girl, who'd do anything
I'd give you the world if you so pleased." My eyes lock onto Leondre's as he starts walking towards me, rapping the first verse."I wake you and we talk
Until way past dawn
About movies, actors
And where you got that tat from
We laugh, then I cry
And so you start too
But I can't stop thinking:
where'd I be without you?"I go for the prechorus, Charlie getting the crowd to do some syncronised stuff (which half works and then doesn't), And I turn to the crowd.
"I'm still awake in the morning lying next to you
It's gone five in the morning but I'm here with you
So we stay here just talking about our lives
And my dreams have come true, but will my nightmares too?"We start having a bit more fun on stage, though for the end of the song, Leondre and Charlie lift me up onto their shoulders and take me down to say hi to some of the fans.
"Hi, how are you?"
"Omg you're so pretty do you have youtube you're so talented!" One of the girls screams at me. I try to make words form but I'm so overcome I start crying and force them to put me down.
"That is the nicest thing a stranger has ever said to me!" I hug her over the barrier and whisper, "I'm not allowed to say person, because then Leondre would get sad."
She laughs and looks so happy I'm scared she'll faint.
I say hi to a few more girls at the front before Leondre and Charlie lift me up again (their shoulders must ache like hell carrying me) and I wave to everyone before pulling myself onto the stage and disappearing offstage.
I go and find Alex and hug him.
"Nice song sis!" He grins at me and I roll my eyes.
"Shut up, I can't believe you got that backing sorted. How did you get that sorted?" I ask, wondering how he got the piano and guitar overlays when I never recorded it.
"You left the sheets lying around in your room, and they had chords on. Leondre can play the guitar, Charlie can play the piano, put it together, add a bit of my genius mind in, and bam there was the backing.
I nod, impressed. "Very impressive. I'll miss you though, when you go back to LA."
"I know, I'll miss you more. Next time though, you'll have to come over and meet my friends."
"Ohh, and do I finally get to see the Canadian girl you're always texting?" I tease and he stares at me, mouth open.
"How-"
"I'm your sister, Alex. Don't leave your phone lying around when people text you, I will find ways to do full background checks." He stares at me still, bug-eyed and stunned speechless.
I hear the crowd go wild, and know they've just come off stage for the final time, so I go to find them. "You two are in such trouble!" I try to keep a straight face.
"More trouble than you for the tattoo?" Leondre smirks.
"Aw yeah, show us you never did!" Charlie grins evilly.
"This is so not fair!" I whine, laughing. "And you can't talk Charlie you've almost got a full sleeve going on mate."
"Yeah, okay true." He stops nodding and smiles weirdly. "But I'm eighteen already, I'm not underage."
I groan. "You guys are so not fair!"
"Aw you love us." Leondre runs at me, lifting me over his shoulder Jesus Christ he must be dead from carrying my weight.
"Of course I do." Then consider what I just said. "But in very different ways."
Charlie laughs, telling Leondre to put me down before he drops me. "You were amazing!" He hugs me, lifting me off the ground. Damn my height.
"Hey, of course I was amazing, I sang my song!" I laugh at him.
"Yeah, but you weren't expecting it!" He counters, putting me down again.
I laugh, feeling a little better than before. "Yeah, um," I turn back to Charlie. "Can I talk to you for a second?"
Leondre looks at me strangely. "you okay, baby?"
I nod, "yeah I'm fine, it's just a thing with the chords for the piano, cause Alex said that was on you? Anyway, I just wanted to go over that seeing as I never practised the chords on the piano, so-"
"Yeah, sure." Charlie gives me a strange look, so I know he isn't buying it, but Leondre seems to, backing off a little when Blair comes over and strikes up a conversation with Leondre.
I grin at Charlie, pulling him further backstage out of sight and earshot of Leondre.
"Okay, I need your help with something..."
