Together Justin and I rushed to the mall and got there just in time for me to go on. He squeezed my hand and said that he’d be watching from the side so he wouldn’t cause a scene. I met up with the band and went on stage.
The performance was going well. Every once in a while I would look over at Justin to see him smiling and singing along. I couldn’t help but grin like an idiot.
It creeps in like a spider
Can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do…
As I performed one of my older songs, I felt a strange feeling come over me. It made me tingle in my fingers and lose concentration. Was I really falling for him? Shut up Emma and keep playing. Don’t let him distract you.
Your lovesick melody is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me, no
You won't get to me 'cause I won't sing.
I looked at him again, thinking to myself that if I looked and didn’t feel the butterflies, then I had nothing to worry about. He winked and smiled and I could feel the butterflies tearing through my insides like Godzilla in Tokyo. Houston…I think I’ve got a problem.
After my performance, I went backstage. Justin greeted me with a hug.
“You killed out there, Em.”
“Thanks.” I felt so awkward. I knew I had feelings for him. But now… now I’d admitted to myself just how strong these feelings were becoming. It was scaring the hell out of me. My natural defense of course was to act like a complete idiot.
“Hey, you want to go back to my house? We can mess around or whatever you want to do.” I could do nothing but look at him. “Em… you ok?”
“Oh, oh yeah. Totally. I’m fine. Back to your house?”
“Yes…”
“Ok.”
The ride to his house was just as awkward. You need to get yourself together, Em. When we finally got to his house, we went up to his room after greeting his mom.
“Em, I forgot to ask! You want to be in a music video with me?”
“Huh?”
“I’m going to be shooting a video for my new single, and I was just wondering if you wanted to be
my leading lady.”
“Uhh, I guess so. I haven’t even made a music video yet.”
“It’s good practice. If you mess up at least it will be in my video and not your own.” He poked my arm jokingly. I smiled.
“I guess you’re right. When are you filming this video?”
“In a week.”
“Did you plan that on purpose?” He knew my days off.
“Yeah. I was really hoping you’d say yes.” I smiled even bigger.
“Well that’s cool. Where are we filming?”
“The Bahamas.”
“WHAT?!”
“Yeah. Well, I’ve been down there a few times, and I’ve actually shot a video down there before. But the director had a great idea for this song, and he thinks the Bahamas are a great place for it. I get to pick the main girls in the videos and I couldn’t think of a better choice than you.” Wow. Cut it out, butterlifes.
“Awesome. What song?”
“’Up’. I can’t wait for you to hear the treatment for the video. You’re going to love it.” I smiled. I just couldn’t quit doing that it seemed.
“You want to go outside and watch my basketball skills in action?”
“Of course, Justin. How could I say no to that?”
