Dance With Me.

Chapter 6

I should ink my skin, with your name.
And take my passport out again, 
And just replace it.
See I could do without a tan on my left hand, 
Where my fourth finger meets my knuckle.
And I should run you a hot bath, fill it up with bubbles.

'Cause maybe your loveable, 
And maybe your my snowflake, 
And your eyes turn from green to grey, 
In the winter I'll hold you in a cold place.
And you should never cut your hair, 
'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder, (mm)

And you will never know, just how beautiful you are to me,
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.

And Would you ever feel guilty? If you did the same to me.
Would you make me a cup of tea, to open my eyes in the right way?

And I know you love shrek, 'cause we've watched it twelve times.
But, maybe you're hoping for a fairy-tale to, but if your DVD breaks today, 
You should of got a VCR, because I've never owned a blueray, true say.
And I've always been shit at computer games, and your brother always beats me, 
And if I lost, I'd go across and chuck all the controllers at the tv, and then you'd laugh at me, and be asking me, if I'm going to be home next week, 
And then you'd lie with me, until I fall asleep, 
And flutter an eyelash on my cheek, between the sheets.

And you will never know, just how beautiful you are to me,
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.

And I think you hate the smell of smoke, 
You always try get me to stop, 
You drink as much as me, and I get drunk alot, 
So I take you to the beach, and walk along the sand, 
And I'll make you a heart pendant, with a pebble held in my hand.
And I'll carve it like a necklace, so the heart falls where your chest is, 
And now a piece of me, is a piece of the beach, and it falls just where it needs to be, and rests peacefully.
You just need to breathe, to feel my heart against yours now, against yours now.

But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.
But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up.

Well maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up, 
Maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up, 
I said maybe I fell in love, when you woke me up.

     Those lyrics were the only words captivating my thoughts up until the competition. But as I stepped on stage in my cream costume and got into my starting position, waiting for the music to start, all that was on my mind was that Harry and the boys were in the audience to support me. And winning of course.

     When I'm on stage, performing a new routine, I always zone out. I don't have to go to my "happy place" though because when I perform an amazing number with tons of emotion and energy, I'm already in my happy place. As I finish the final turn sequence and melt into my ending pose, I hear the audience applaud and I know that I did good. I curtsy and sashay off to a squealing Marissa in the wings. 

     "Jeanette, you looked STUNNING on the stage. Seriously. And your switch leap was flawless. FLAWLESS I tell you." Marissa said excitedly.

     "Aw, thanks Riss. I'm out of breath right now." I say laughing, between my heavy breathing. We walk back to the dressing room together to change for our next number, a jazz piece with a tricky headpiece to keep in place. Waiting for me outside the dressing room was Harry holding a bouquet of roses, my favorites. 

    "Jeanette, you looked amazing on that stage. I don't know how you even do half of that stuff. If I even attempted to do that I'd be dead in a heartbeat. Seriously, wow. You made Ed proud, love." Harry said as he handed the flowers to me.

     "Thank you so much! And I made Ed proud? How? Is he here?" I began rapidly looking around, making sure I hadn't accidentally walked right past Ed without realizing it was him.

     "I filmed it with my phone and tweeted it to Ed," he said as he showed me on his phone. There I was, with the caption 'my girl jeanette doing her thing making @edsheeran 's voice sound even better. xx' Scrolling down, I see that Ed replied and said "ah that's beautiful. thanks 4 sharing harry. proud of you J!'

     Trying not to show how much this made me like him even more, I sneakily said, "Oh really? Since when am I 'your girl', sir?" 

     'Oh, shush. You're just jealous because within five minutes #IWillDanceForHarry is trending on Twitter." he said as I gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

     "I'd love to stay and chat with you, my boy, but I have a very complex jazz costume to change into. I'll see you after the awards?" I said as he nodded. I blew him a kiss and then walked smoothly into the dressing room before spazzing out with Marissa.

     "Okay, now we're going to announce our overall soloists from todays competition, ladies and gentlemen," the director of Starbound said as we all sat on stage anxiously waiting to see how we'd done. When she'd gotten through who'd placed 10th, 9th, 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, and 4th I was a bundle of nerves, hoping I was in the top 3. Otherwise, I didn't place... "In third place, with Courage by Superchick, Annie!" The girl named Annie stood up to get her trophy and stand in the winners lineup. "Second place goes to.. Wake Me Up by Ed Sheeran, Jeanette!" I jump up and walk over to accept my award as my teammates high five me. "And last but not least, in 1st place, Breathe Me by Sia, Liz!!" Ick. My mortal enemy beat me for 1st. "Congratulations to all our soloists who placed in the Top 10 today! Thank you to everyone who competed today at our Starbound competition. We hope you all have a great night."

     "I can't believe that little beyotch stole 1st place from me," I said to Marissa as we drove to our local diner to meet up with the boys. 

     "You did way better, hun. Her mom probably paid the judges or something." Marissa replies with an eye roll. Liz used to be on our dance team and she was our third bestie. Then she switched studios because her mom thought she wasn't getting enough attention and randomly started torturing me and Marissa; she only stole my exboyfriend from me to make me suffer. As I pulled the car into a parking spot, we spy the boys walking into the diner, still in disguise.

     "OMG IS THAT ONE DIRECTION!?!?" I screech in an annoying teenage girl voice, causing them all to turn around and look ready to bolt. 

     "Oh, it's only you girls. Bloody hell, you scared us." Zayn said as they waited for us to walk up to them.

     "Hello, beautiful," Harry whispered into my ear. "Hey guys, don't you think Jeanette here should've gotten first? You did lovely, love."

     "Yeh, you should've kicked her arse. But think of it like this, we won 3rd on the X Factor and I'd say we're doing pretty well." Niall said as he pulled me and Marissa in for a group hug. 

     We had a great evening filled with food and laughter. After we all payed and the guys walked us to the car, Harry grabs my hand and pulls me aside.

     "You may not have won first place," he whispers in my ear, his voice husky, "but you're always number one on my mind."

     A/N Jeanette's solo costume and song, Wake Me Up by Ed Sheeran are on the side. Comments?? I hope you like it, loves <3
