Ch.56 You played yourself Romeo Pt.1

In the recording studio Jon and Lizz were taking a little break from recording the song. Most were in a happy mood to say, same could not be said about the two girls. They were glaring at Jon and Lizz together and sure they were happy that Jon was singing with someone talented like Lizz but they weren't too happy with what Lizz was trying to do.

"I don't like it." Tori huffed and looked angry.

"You don't have to say it twice… I'm not too happy about it either." Daphne replied to her friend in a calm tone.

Tori looked at her friend with a questioning look and Daphne quickly replied, "H-he's my friend too… and I don't like the way that she is looking at him."

Tori hummed and looked at the two chatting, "Look at him… laughing with her."

Daphne almost gritted her teeth and said, "You saw her touching him while they sang right?"

Tori hummed and nodded, "Yeah." They saw them both joshing around and they both almost growled and said, "We need to do something about it."

Suddenly the unknowing boy looked at his friends faces and they had a stiff smile on their faces. But suddenly they waved and he replied back in kind.

(Jon's Pov)

I thought I heard something and I looked to see only to find Tori and Daphne smiling and waving at me, I don't know why but I don't think that they were smiling, nonetheless I waved back at them and Lizz said, "I was thinking of doing "I knew you were Trouble"?"

I thought about it for a minute and her voice was good for this one and the melody wouldn't be that much of a trouble with Ed here so it wouldn't be that hard. So I nodded and said, "Yeah, not a problem with that… I'll work on it."

She stopped me and grabbed my hand and said, "I was thinking we could do that together… you know?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Yeah, okay…" And again I heard a growl and I looked around and said, "Did a cat sneak in? What's happening?"

During the break time we landed on another song that we could do. And it's a good thing the melody wasn't that hard to come up with and Lizz and Ed here were my big clutch, they helped me figure out what I was missing and all of it. And after 15 minutes the melody was ready and we were too.

Ed sent the music in and we got ready to sing and Daphne and Tori looked a little worried but that might not be quite right. I waited for my cue. I tried to lower my voice as much as I could I wanted to come off as nonchalant or something along those lines. I moved closer to the mic and Ed gave me the signal and I started singing.

🎶🎵Not tryna be indie

Not tryna be cool

Just tryna be in this

Tell me, are you too?

Can you feel where the wind is?

Can you feel it through

All of the windows

Inside this room?🎶🎵

I saw the room to check for reactions and Florian and Ed were cool. Daphne and Tori also now had calm faces, I don't think it would last though.

🎶🎵'Cause I wanna touch you baby

And I wanna feel you too

I wanna see the sun rise

On your sins just me and you🎶🎵

Their eyes remained wide open and looked mortified with the lyrics. Specially the two of my friends, they were more paler than. I looked at Lizz and she winked and came closer to mic and sang with me on this verse.

🎶🎵Light it up, on the run

Let's make love tonight

Make it up, fall in love, try🎶🎵

Ed increased the eco for this part and Lizz sang with passion

🎶🎵Baby, I'm right here.🎶🎵

The drums came in and we took a breath before singing together,

🎶🎵But you'll never be alone

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

Baby, I am right here 🎶🎵

I closed my eyes and felt the music and the beats growing

🎶🎵I'll hold you when things go wrong

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

Baby, I am right here🎶🎵

Lizz leaned a little back and sang with her all on this part

🎶🎵I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

Baby, I am right here🎶🎵

She moved away and I came in and looked at the sheets and sang

🎶🎵We were shut like a jacket

So do your zip 🎶🎵

Lizz started to move with the music and I looked at her enjoying it. I looked at the two of them and sang

🎶🎵We would roll down the rapids

To find a wave that fits 🎶🎵

They looked at me with their eyes wide open realising that the song symbolises more than what's written. It was all about having each other's back.

🎶🎵Can you feel where the wind is?

Can you feel it through

All of the windows

Inside this room?🎶🎵

Lizz came closer to the mic and softly started to join me again in the song

🎶🎵'Cause I wanna touch you baby

And I wanna feel you too

I wanna see the sun rise

On your sins just me and you 🎶🎵

🎶🎵Light it up, on the run

Let's make love tonight

Make it up, fall in love, try 🎶🎵

🎶🎵Baby, I am right here 🎶🎵

🎶🎵But you'll never be alone

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

Baby, I am right here 🎶🎵

🎶🎵I'll hold you when things go wrong

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

Baby, I am right here🎶🎵

The music almost stopped making everyone feel a bit of relief but Ed knew it wasn't over. We sang with the piano in the background and almost singing like we were singing to each other.

🎶🎵Gon', give love to your body

It's only you that can stop it

Girl, give love to your body

It's only you that can stop it 🎶🎵

🎶🎵I'm gon' give love to your body

It's only you that can stop it

Gon' give love to your body 🎶🎵

At this point I was almost sure that they won't approve of this song. But I still want it be perfect, for me. I can listen to it. It's one of my favorites. Lizz already backed up so as not to get picked up by the mic and I prepared myself and closed my eyes and sang my heart out.

🎶🎵Gon' give love to your body🎶🎵

Lizz came in and I looked at them and they didn't look mortified more like impressed.

🎶🎵But you'll never be alone

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

Baby, I am right here 🎶🎵

🎶🎵I'll hold you when things go wrong

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

I'll be with you from dusk till dawn 🎶🎵

This time it was Lizz's turn and she took hold of the mic and sang with all, I could feel it.

🎶🎵Baby, I am right here 🎶🎵

🎶🎵I'll be with you from dusk till dawn

Baby, I am right here🎶🎵

I vocalised the last part and the music stopped and we looked at them and Florian said, "I hate to break it to you, as amazing that was, we can't put this one out."

Lizz bumped out and I pursed my lips and nodded, they looked sad but said, "Oh no… bummer."

Lizz sighed and said, "Hmm, looks like we'll have to do that one then?" Her words made the girls shudder a bit.

I looked at her and said, "You sure, because if we do this one, then the one I'll release would look like a confession or something."

She sighed and said, "Yeah, I know… but they don't want this one though."

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Yeah."

Tori looked at Daphne and she asked her dad, "Um, dad, I don't think it's that bad of a song… I mean it talks about… m-making l-l-ove… not killing so… it should be good?"

Florian looked at her daughter and said, "Honey, I know that… but they are like tweens… and Jon is like way young to sing something like this, not to mention the impact it could have on their careers and with Steven not being here, I have to think for both of them."

Daphne and Tori looked defeated and I looked at Ed and said, "We have the music for that one?"

Ed nodded and said, "Yeah… to be honest it's better than that one."

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Eh, it's okay."

Lizz chuckled and said, "You're the one who wrote it…"

I looked at her and said, "I can be critical of my own stuff."

She chuckled and said, "Come on it'll be fun and didn't you say that we need the gossips going?"

I nodded and sighed, "Eh, what the hell, let's do it."

We took the position and the sounds of guitar and snare started to flow into our ears and Lizz looked at me with a very gentle yet mischievous smile and started singing.

🎶🎵We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air🎶🎵

Tori looked at her friend and said, "I don't feel too good about it…" Daphne just nodded and looked ahead in horror and anticipation. I leaned closer and sang the next lines

🎶🎵See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd

And say, "Hello"

Little did I know🎶🎵

Lizz smiled and took over

🎶🎵'Cause you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" ("Stay away from Juliet")🎶🎵

Daphne couldn't help but say, "Oh, god… this is worse than s-sex." She huffed and Tori agreed and nodded. Florian hummed and said, "Ah, this is much better."

🎶🎵And I was crying on the staircase 🎶🎵

Lizz and I sang together

🎶🎵Begging you, "Please don't go," and I said🎶🎵

Slowly the intensity kicked up a notch and that mischievous smile disappeared into something more serious. That I didn't understand completely. She looked at me and we sang together

🎶🎵Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"🎶🎵

I looked at her and she cupped her face and pulled herself back trying to control a chuckle

🎶🎵So I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while, oh, oh🎶🎵

Lizz calmed herself and sang the next verse

🎶🎵'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" ("Stay away from Juliet")

But you were everything to me

I was begging you, "Please don't go," and I said (Please don't go, and I said)🎶🎵

Florian and Ed were looking at us with confused looks and Tori and Daphne were still reluctant to enjoy one bit of the song. But we were concentrating to make this good. I closed my eyes and she grabbed my hand and I looked at her and she pointed at the sheet and we sang together.

🎶🎵Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes"🎶🎵

🎶🎵Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes🎶🎵

We took a step back and we both danced a little together while the cue came and she looked really happy. Florian and Ed were laughing as well looking at us. The next cue came and the music was real low and Lizz softly sang into the mic.

🎶🎵I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around 🎶🎵

I came forward and sang in the same manner with her together.

🎶🎵faith in you was fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town🎶🎵

She made her voice more cheery and sang the next few lines.

🎶🎵I said, "Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you, but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think🎶🎵

I decided to fuck around in the last part. I mimicked pulling out a ring and sang to Lizz

🎶🎵I knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone🎶🎵

Lizz chuckled and gave her hand forward and I put a ring on her finger and she looked at it. The rest were laughing at my antics but the those two were not. I looked at Lizz and sang happily.

🎶🎵love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'🎶🎵

The music was now coming to an end and we both vocalised and sang together.

🎶🎵 oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you.🎶🎵
