What Happens In A Small Town

Chapter Twenty-Seven

K E L S E Y

I get dressed and Danielle fixes my hair and makeup, she handles my wardrobe, hair, and makeup. Amy thought it was a good idea to just have one person for all three since they would be getting done right together.

She teases my hair a bit before backing away "there perfect" 

I smile at her "thanks Danielle" "oh sweetie your welcome"

There's a knock at the door "and that is my que, I'll see you later Danielle" 

She grins "knock em dead Kels" I shoot a wink at her as I open the door to see PJ standing there to escort me to side stage to get miked before I go on. He shakes his head "looks like your trying to kill him" 

I smirk at him "well maybe not kill but I'll get a damn good reaction though"

We get side stage and one of the stagehands gets me miked up as she walks off I see Ash, Eli, and B making their way to where I am, and when they get there B's eyes I swear just about popped out of his head.

I smirk and blow a kiss at him as I run out on stage "How are you doing tonight Birmingham?" I get a reaction of screams from the arena and grin "alright so tonight we are doing things just a little different, to start this off we are going to be doing some covers."

The band starts the intro to Love Me Like You Mean It

"Love me, love me, love me
Oh hey, boy with your hat back, I kinda like that
If you wanna walk my way
Ima shoot ya straight up
Show me what you're made of
I don't have time to waste on the boys that are playing the game
Or leaving the girls crying out in the rain
So tell me, baby, do you got what it takes"

I smirk keeping my eyes on B for the opening of the song and I shoot him a wink as I turn my attention to the audience for the rest of the song well besides shooting glances and winks side stage.

After that, they start the intro to Yeah Boy.

I turn and look at B once again for the opening of the song.

"Captured my attention, make my heart stop and listen
When you look my way
Blue jeans and a ball cap, thinking that you're all that
And I'm thinking the same

You got that something in your eyes, I think about it all the same
If you ever wonder if I wanna make you mine"

I turn jumping around on stage feeling B's eyes glued to me right now and I can't help but grin getting into the song

"Yeah, boy
I'm digging what you're doing
Yeah, boy
I'm trying to keep it cool
But you're making it hard, I'm wishing your arms
Were wrapping me uptight
Yeah, boy
You shine and you can't even help it
Yeah, boy
Your eyes could make the moon jealous
And if you wanna know if I wanna be your girl tonight
Yeah, boy"

I see a few people on the front row trying to see who I'm looking at side stage but from where they are they can't.

After that one ends I grab the water bottle from the drum lift and take a quick sip out of it before my band goes into Dibs.

I make sure to put a little extra shake in my hips as I turn towards B during the second half of the chorus. Looking him directly in the eyes as I sing it.

"Yaa I'm callin' dibs
On your lips
On your kiss
On your time

Boy, I'm callin' dibs
On your hand
On your heart
All mine
Make everybody jealous
When I take you off the market"

I smile at the crowd "alright guys we got one more cover and a lot of you might not know this but I actually had a hand in co-writing this song. So this cover is Sparks Fly by my girl and very good friend Taylor Swift."

"The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless that should send me running
But I kinda know that I won't get far

And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see, sparks fly, whenever you smile"

I smirk locking eyes with B as I sing the next part because well this was one of the lines that I contributed to the song, I offered up to use green eyes because when we were working on it nobody could figure out what to use so I said 'hey why don't we use get me with those green eyes baby' and boom there it was.

"Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Gimme something that'll haunt me whenever you're not around
'Cause I see, sparks fly, when you smile

My mind forgets to remind me, you're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something
You find I'm even better than you, imagined I would be
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you, I know its no good
And I could wait patiently
But I really wish you would"

I can't help but look over a B again as I go into the next part of the song before going into the chorus again my eyes never leaving B.

"Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see, sparks fly, whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'Cause I see, sparks fly, whenever you smile"

The crowd goes crazy as the song comes to an end and we go right into 80s Mercedes. then Drunk Girls Don't Cry, Rich, I Could Use A Love Song and finally closing out with My Church.

I grin at the crowd "Thank you Birmingham you have been amazing and we have an amazing show lined up for you guys tonight" I hear a bunch of cheering as I run off to side stage and they turn my mic off and unmic me. After the mic is off I am swept up into B's arms and he kisses me.

I didn't want this to be too long so I decided to spilt it up into two different chapters.
