Happy Ending (A Monchele Story)

Here We Go Again

Two weeks later
Jasmine
I sit on this bench in front of a fountain and, I take a deep breath. I then look at my hand and smile. It's been an exhausting two weeks. We went from LA to Chicago and then every big city in between. We're now in New York, and I'm just relaxing watching Monchele dance around C on the other side. I then see street performers, they start "I Like Me Better." I look up smiling and start singing. "To be young and in love in New York City (New York City)
To not know who I am but still know that I'm good long as you're here with me
To be drunk and in love in New York City
Midnight into morning coffee
Burning through the hours talking
Damn, I like me better when I'm with you
I like me better when I'm with you
I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you
I don't know what it is but I got that feeling (got that feeling)
Waking up in this bed next to you swear the room
Yeah, it got no ceiling
If we lay, let the day just pass us by
I might get to too much talking
I might have to tell you something
Damn, I like me better when I'm with you
I like me better when I'm with you
I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay here with me
Stay awhile, stay awhile, oh
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay here with me
Lay here with me
I like me better when I'm with you (yes, I do, yes, I do, babe)
I like me better when I'm with you (ooh, no)
I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you
Better when, I like me better when I'm with you." Then I hear a thunderous applause, I turn around and bow. "Thank you!" I say giggling, and walk into a group hug and laugh. Then CJ wanted to dance with me. He starts singing and of course I help. "They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half to seem 'em
No no no
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away the DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey, now they paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?
Listenin' late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took my girl away
Now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey now, now
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got
Til its gone
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Why not?
They paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey
Paved paradise
To put up a parking lot
I don't want give it
Why you want give,
Why you want give it all away?
Hey hey hey
Now you want give it,
Ah she want to give it
Cause she givin' it all away
Now now now
I don't want give it
Why you want give,
Why you want give it all away?
Giving it all, giving it all away
Why you want it?
Why do you want it? (She's giving it all away)
Hey pave paradise
Put up a parking lot." He grabs my face with his tiny hands and kisses me and runs to Lea as  we all chuckle silently. "Up top little man." He gives me a high-five. "Nice one babe!" I say kissing his head.
At Madison Square Garden
"Carter we miss you." I speak in character. "This is for you." I swallow as the music starts. Here it goes. "Calling you from miles away
I hope and I pray
That you're still awake
It happens when you pick up the phone
You say hello
I'm back at home
I ask about your day and tell you that I miss you
We go through everything but nothing that we need to say
For a moment I swear I can almost feel you
And I'm burning, babe
I'm on the other side on fire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
You're on the other side of this wire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh
I hear the sound of your voice coming in so clear
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh
I feel the rush like a wave and it takes me there
Counting every breath that you breathe
You're on your bed falling asleep
I never want to hang up the call
'Cause hearing you there beats nothing at all
I hope I never learn an easy way to miss you
We're coming closer but it's getting harder every day
For a moment I swear I can almost feel you
And I'm burning, babe
I'm on the other side on fire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
You're on the other side of this wire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh
I hear the sound of your voice coming in so clear
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh
I feel the rush like a wave and it takes me there
I gotta get to you
Get to you
I gotta get to you
I gotta get to you
Get to you
I gotta get to you
I'm on the other side on fire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
You're on the other side of this wire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
I'm on the other side on fire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
You're on the other side of this wire
With an ocean between us
Ocean between us
I gotta get to you
Get to you
I hear the sound of your voice coming in so clear
I gotta get to you
Get to you
I feel the rush like a wave and it takes me there
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh
I hear the sound of your voice coming in so clear
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh." I smile and nod. "Thank you New York!" I say walking off. The crowd cheers as the others join me on stage. Lea starts us off. "Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freak show (I don't care)
But, hey, give it just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up and figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up and figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up and figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
Go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the words you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, I'm tunin' up to figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me." Then the show ends.
