Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 2 - New Talent

We finally arrived. Hundreds of fans screamed when they saw us. I didn't dare roll the window down, in fear of being hurt. Sometimes they go a little overboard and grab you and pull you.

The security guards opened Jack's car door. He grabbed my hand as he climbed out, and I followed.

Paparazzi spurred from left to right, attempting to catch pictures of us. I covered my eyes. I guess it takes some time before you really get used to the lights. When we got inside, security immediately shut the doors and locked them. The barracades were then lifted, releasing all the fans to come to the windows. The venue was mostly glass, so me and Jack went over to see them. After yelling through the glass, attempting to talk, and taking multiple selfies with everyone, it was time for them to get ready for the show. I found it convenient that my show was just before Jack and Jack's.

We went backstage.

"Julia!" I yelled. She jumped up from the couch beside Jack J and ran up to me and gave me a big hug.

"I had a fan YouNow your show! GORGEOUS." She said. Her long blonde curls shimmered in the lighting.

"Thank you!! Look at this." I took out the glittering Chanel outfit and showed her.

She covered her mouth. "Oh my god, Paige. This is probably worth more than a car."

I laughed, but then my laugh slowly faded. "Actually, it probably is." We both giggled.

"Nice job Paige. Half of those people out there were screaming your name." Jack J gave me a hug.

"Thanks Jack." I grinned.

"You look perfect." Sammy said.

"Yeah, you look great." Nate smiled.

"Thanks you guys." I felt great too.

"She's mine. Back off." Julia put her arm around me and kissed me on the cheek. I wrapped my arms around her and laughed.

"Nahh." Jack shook his head and stole me back.

"Fine, I guess I'll just go back to Jack." She went over and sat on Jack J's lap. Julia is Jack J's girlfriend.

I guess Sammy and Nate still haven't found the right girl. Sammy's told me that he's nervous about commitment. I'm not surprised, he's with another girl every weekend. Nate too, but I feel like he has a better chance at being committed. Sam does have a little bit of a thing with Andrea Russett, and he's hooked up with 'Princess Lauren'. I told him I'd find a good girl for him, but I was always nervous because him cheating on her would be a big possibility. He'll find the right girl soon- Nate too. Then we can all go on a quad-date. Is that a thing?

We all hung out for a few, then it was about time for the show. This is one of the first few venues in Los Angeles that Jack and Jack have headlined by themselves, and I couldn't be more proud. There'd be thousands of people here tonight.

I watched them go over the dance moves and rehearse the songs. They've come so far.

I heard security unlock the doors and start letting the people inside. From the balcony upstairs, I looked down at everyone. Nobody spotted me, and I was enjoying it. I loved seeing fans when they weren't screaming or crying.

A girl looked at me and waved. I smiled and waved back, surprised that she spotted me. Another girl was watching her, and looked up to see what she was looking at.

"LOOK ITS PAIGE!" The girl yelled. Everyone turned their attention to me. Shit.

I awkwardly waved and smiled at everyone. Tons of them took out their phones and started taking pictures. I felt a little weird just standing here, but I smiled.

"PAIGE I WAS AT YOUR SHOW, YOU'RE SO PRETTY" A girl yelled.

I laughed and yelled back. "THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL!" She must've had a family member or someone related to her in the fashion business, or she was really rich, because tickets for that particular show were 800$. and that wasn't even for a good seat.

I waved at everyone before exiting the balcony and going back down backstage.

The guitarist was doing a practice song with Jack. I sat across from them on the couch and watched him. Every time he looked over at me, he smiled and tried not to laugh. The way his voice sounded when he was refraining from laugh never failed to make me smile.

"It's too late to apologize, it's tooo laaate" Jack sang along with the chords of the guitar. This was one of his favorite warm up songs. Mine too. His voice has dramatically made progress in the past couple months.

I rested my chin on my hand and scrolled through twitter. I hummed along with him. He slowly got quieter. The guitarist, Jessie, stopped. I looked up to see him staring at me.

"..what?" I questioned.

"Your humming sounded really good.. Do you want to sing along with him?" Jessie asked.

I laughed. "Umm no. I'm not a singer."

Jack gave me a skeptical look. "I've never heard you really sing. Do it." He said.

3 months ago, I would've gotten shy and refused, but it wasn't going to do me any harm.

Jack patted the side of the couch and motioned for me to come over. I slowly got up and sat beside him.

"You know this song, yeah?" Jessie said.

I nodded. He began playing the guitar, from the beginning. Jack began to sing, and I didn't. I was a little nervous, but soon joined in.

"And I'm hearin' what you say, but I just can't make a sound." I began to sing along. The feeling was entirely undescribable. Our voices harmonized in perfect symphony. I've never felt something so strong.

Jessie stopped playing. "Honestly, what the hell?"

Jack looked at me with wide eyes and shook his head. "You're so fucking good."

I went into shock.

"Um, me?" I looked confused.

"We have to do this for the show. You and Paige. Just sing this song." Jessie suggested. I stood up.

"Definitely not."

"JACK! COME IN HERE!" He yelled. Jack J walked into the room with Julia.

"Listen to these two." He began playing. I shook my head and covered my face. I've never sung in front of anyone.

Jack began singing, and again, I joined in late. Julia's jaw dropped as she watched me. The look on her face was making me laugh, so I stopped singing.

"Holy shit.. I've been replaced." Jack J said.

"PERFORM THIS RIGHT NOW. WHAT THE HELL PAIGE YOU'RE LIKE BEYONCÉ." Julia flipped out.

I giggled and shook my head. My hands were shaky, because I was nervous. Was I honestly that good? I only sang to myself from time to time..
