The song Emma and Alex wrote; A Daydream Away by All Time Low, listen to it, then read
Emma's POV
From the moment I woke up this morning I felt the pit in my stomach. The pit of fear, and nervousness. I knew I would have to perform, and I was completely psyched and ready, but couldn't help but be nervous.
I was currently sat backstage at Fox Theatre, isn't this a change of events. My smile dropped slightly as my eyes came across the dressing rooms, where all my memories happened that first night. The roof conversation, the ping pong ball war, when I first met everyone dammit, Calum's cut, even when I kicked ass at Call of Duty. Tears began to well in my eyes but I blinked them back.
The four boys known as All Time Low took the stage, and my grin became wider. They greeted everyone and joked around before going through a few songs, starting with To Live and Let Go, and ending with Walls, Alex's voice broke my thoughts.
"I'd like to welcome a very special friend of mine to sing the next song with me, please welcome, Emma Styles!"
At that point my stomach dropped and I walked on stage, laughing and waving to everyone and hugging Alex as I approached him. He nudged me and signaled for me to announce the song.
"This song was written by us, in my apartment, it's about lost love, inspired by someone who used to mean a lot to me, hope you all like it."
He played the first few notes and our voices joined together.
I wish you could see your face right now, cause you're grinning like a fool
And we're sitting on your kitchen floor, on a Tuesday afternoon
It doesn't matter when we get back, to doing what we do
Cause right now could last forever
Just as long as I'm with you
You're just a daydream away, I wouldn't know what to say
If I had you
And I'll keep, you a daydream away
Just watch from a safe place, so I never have to lose
All my self judging and shyness completely disappeared at that moment.
You're just a daydream away, I wouldn't know what to say if I had, you
We finished the last chord and I hugged him afterwards, the astounding applause filling my ears as I wrapped myself in his arms.
"Emma Styles everyone!" he yelled and I raised my hand and smiled, and walked off to the side stage.
Ashton's POV
Two. Weeks.
It had been two weeks since I lost her, the only girl I've ever loved, and I fucked it all up.
She's been ignoring my texts and my calls, as a last resort, I dialed the familiar number one last time, deciding to leave a voicemail. I could already feel the tears falling.
"Baby, I, I know you hate me right now, and you probably never wanna see me again. I was always trying to protect you, but I guess I couldn't save you from myself, I'm so sorry baby," I glanced at the clock, it was a quarter after one, and an idea struck in my clouded mind, Need You Now was one of her favorite songs.
"I know I've never been the best singer, but I just miss you so much baby,
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now, I said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control and I need you now. And I don't know how, I can do without, I just need you now."
The voicemail ended and I sank to my knees. She's never coming back.
Emma's POV
I grabbed a water and turned my phone on, high-fiving a few workers that walked past as I came down from the adrenaline rush.
My phone buzzed, saying I had a new voicemail.
