Used To Be Lonely

Chap 15

Britney's POV

It was finally the morning of the concert. I showered and I couldn't find anything to wear. "You've got to be kidding me." I pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I left the room and knocked on Alexis'. "Alexis?"

"Come in," said Alexis. I did and closed the door. "Hey. What's up?" She was wearing a red skater dress that had a red lace over lay. She also had on black high top wedges and a black leather jacket. Her makeup was done, her hair curled. She looks gorgeous as always. "Britney, something wrong?"

"I need help." I looked at her. "I don't know what to wear."

"Well, come here. I'm more than happy to help out my bae." She walked into her closet and got out a box. She handed it to me. "So, open it." I did and got out a pair of black leather heels, flaired jeans, a gorgeous seagreen top, and a black blazer. "So?"

"I'm going to get changed into this." I smiled. "Can I borrow your bathroom?" She nodded. I walked I to the bathroom and changed. I walked back out. "I love it."

"You're beautiful, as always. Come sit." I did in her chair. "So, I'm going to do your makeup and hair. Close your eyes." I did. After what seemed like forever, "Open."

I did and looked in the mirror. "Alexis, you're the best." I hugged her. "You always know what to do and I love the white ribbon in my hair."

"I'm always here for you. I've told you that."

"I know." I smiled at her. "Thank you."

"No problem." I stood up. "We need to head to the concert now."

"You're right." We walked downstairs. "Hey guys."

"Whoa," said Devin as he hugged me. "You certainly dressed up for today."

"Well, I am performing and you guys always look amazing," I said. "Gotta try and keep up."

"You look great even when you don't try," said Devin.

"Awh, thank you," I said. "Alexis actually helped me." She was hugging Blake. "I asked her to."

"Yeah, she did," said Alexis. "And we should get going before you're late to your own concert."

"Yeah, yeah," I said. "That's always important."

"Yeah, who are you riding with today?" asked Devin.

"With me," said Alexis. "Sorry Blake, but Britney and I have some girl talk to do."

"That's perfectly fine," said Blake as they kissed. "Let's go."

Alexis and I got into her SLS and she started driving. "Okay, what do we need to talk about?" I asked.

"Last night Blake and I were talking and I don't know what to think of it."

"What were you talking about?"

"We actually talking about marriage." I looked at Alexis. "To actually tie the knot."

"You guys aren't engaged, are you?"

"No, Blake and I aren't. We were just talking about it. Like we already have a little girl and everything."

"Where is Sapphire by the way?"

"I dropped her off at Tiffany's this morning. She's going to take her to the concert to see us perform."

"You have everything planned out for today, don't you?"

"I do." She parked the car. "But the way Blake was talking, it's like he wants to get married now but he also wants to take things slow."

"Alexis, you just ended a wedding a few weeks ago. I don't think it's a good idea to go through with another yes for engagement yet."

"That's what I told Blake and he was completely okay with it. It's like he understood what I was going through."

"That's good."

"Yeah. He is perfectly everything I could ever ask for in life."

"I knew you and Blake were going to be an amazing couple," I smiled.

Devin's POV

We were waiting for Todd to introduce us. "You guys ready?"

"Yeah," said Alexis. "I think we got this."

"We have a special show for you today," said Todd. "Four amazing people are going to be singing two amazing songs for you to start off the show."

"Alright," I said. I handed Britney a white bedazzled mic and Alexis a red bedazzeled mic. Blake and I had our mics. "There are mic stands that are bedazzled the same color as your mic. Let's have some fun."

"Let's bring out the four amazing performers," said Todd. "Alexis Inthavong, Britney Clark, Blake English, and Devin Fox."

We walked out onstage and put our mic on our stand. "We're going to be singing two songs for you today," I smiled. "One of which Alexis wrote herself."

"The first selection is Sad Song by We The Kings," said Britney.

The music started. "You and I, we're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky," I sang. "With you, I'm alive."

"Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide," sang Blake. "So start time right here in the moonlight 'cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes."

"Without you, I feel broke like I'm half of a whole. Without you I've got not hand to hold," sang Blake and I. "Without you, I feel torn like a sail in a storm. Without you I'm just a sad song. I'm just a sad song."

"With you, I fall. It's like I'm leaving all my past and sillouettes upon the wall," sang Britney. "With you, I'm a beautiful mess."

"It's like we're standing hand in hand with all our fears upon the edge," sang Alexis. "So start time right here in the moonlight 'cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes."

"Without you, I feel broke like I'm half of a whole," we all sang together. "Without you I've got not hand to hold. Without you, I feel torn like a sail in a storm. Without you I'm just a sad song." I smiled at Britney and she returned the smile. "You're the perfect melody. Your only harmony. I wanna hear!" I looked at her. "You're my favorite part of me. When you're standing next to me, I got nothing to fear."

"Without you, I feel broke like I'm half of a whole," I sang.

"Without you I've got not hand to hold," sang Blake.

Alexis sang, "Without you, I feel torn like a sail in a storm."

"Without you I'm just a sad song," Britney sang.

"Without you, I feel broke like I'm half of a whole. Without you I've got not hand to hold," we sang. "Without you, I feel torn like a sail in a storm. Without you I'm just a sad song." I smiled. "I'm just a sad sang."

The song ended and the fans cheered. "Thank you," said Alexis. "Thank you so much."

"Glad you enjoyed," I said.
