*Jennifer's POV*


We arrived at Madison Square Garden. I was so nervous, this was going to be the biggest night in my career. We went in, and did our Meet and Greets. I decided that tonight I was going to sing some songs by Selena. I hope that Demi doesn't mind though. Demi did sound check and I just practiced in my dressing room. Our tour manager walked in and told me, "You're on in 5" I quickly applied my makeup and headed out.

"Hellooooooooo New York City" I yelled into my microphone. "Did you know that, when I was a little girl, New York was my all time favorite place to visit?" The crowd yelled in excitement. "I loved walking in the city lights at midnight, hand in hand with my beautiful mother." I smiled "Ugh I miss my mom. I remember when I was about 15, I actually came to see a concert here, in Madison Square Garden." Tears started to form in my eyes. "It's so amazing to think of how far I've come, and I never knew that I'd be able to make it this far. Especially opening on tour with my idol, Demetria Devonne Lovato." I said and smiled. The crowd went crazy and I saw a beautiful girl with big brown eyes smiling in the crowd. Demi. She was watching me, shit. I have to e perfect tonight. "Ok enough cheesy stories, who wants to hear some songs?" The crowd reacted and I continued, "Tonight's going to be a Selena Gomez night." The song came on and I began,


I told, I told, I told myself again
I'm never running back on what I said
Trying not to roam but you're so...
Far away, so far away

Won't listen to the conscience in my head
I'm conscious but I'm lonely, halfway dead
Tired of the things you never...
You never said, you never said

Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world

Our love was made to rule the world
You left me wanting what we were
Our love was made to rule the world

Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever
Knew my name, my name, my name, my name

I know, I know, I know we can't pretend
That we were never lovers in the end
I try to tell myself this pain would...
Go away...just go away!

Our love was made to rule the world
You came and broke the perfect girl
Our love was made to rule the world

Our love was made to rule the world
You left me wanting what we were
Our love was made to rule the world

Forget forever
Forget forever
Forget you ever
Knew my name, my name, my name, my name

Forget forever
Forget forever



I finished that song and smiled knowing that I sang it for Demi. Next up.



It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A sinful, miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby


I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat


Constantly, boy you play through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are... And I want you to know baby


I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a (love song baby) love song, baby
I, I love you like a (love song baby) love song, baby
I, I love you (I love you, I love you) like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (like a love song)


No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on


I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

I love you...like a love song...


The crowd continues to go wild as I continue.

Take my arm, take my head
Make your mark like a man
Write your name, gonna write your name
Hurts so good, love and pain
When all fades, you remain
Write your name, gonna write your name

Write your name, across my heart
Write your name, over every part
And we could be, worlds apart
Write your name, across my heart

Write your name
Gonna write your name
Write your name
Gonna write your name

Permanent, leave your scar
When you're gone, you' re never far
Write your name, gonna write your name
Cover me, all you are, over me, your signature
Write your name, gonna write your name

Write your name, across my heart
Write your name, over every part
And we could be, worlds apart
Write your name, across my heart

It's your name across my heart
Written in gold, a permanent mark
Let em' graved, It's what we are,
More than words, this love is art
Poetry emotion, put it right there
Deeper than skin, crystal clear
Letters don't fade, titanium made
Forever here, forever saved
Write your name, across my heart

Write your name, across my heart
Write your name, over every part
And we could be, worlds apart
Write your name, across my heart
Write your name
Gonna write your name
Write your name
Gonna write your name



I was going to dedicate the next song to Demi, but of course I'm not saying out loud. "Ok before I move on, I'm going to dedicate my final song of the night to a very special person in my life. I can't thank this person enough for always being there and helping me through my struggles. But this song really explains my feeling right now. So, right now, I want every single person in the crowd tonight to take out their cell phones. I want you to put it in the air and I want you to live in the moment, because it will be gone in the blink of an eye." Tears formed in my eyes as I looked over at Demi, who looked shocked. I walked over and took a seat at the piano and started playing.



Now's all we got,
And time can't be bought,
I know it inside my heart
Forever will forever be ours,
Even if we try to forget,
Love will remember


You said you loved me,
I said I loved you back,
What happened to that?
What happened to that?

All your promises,
And all them plans we had,
What happened to that?
What happened to that?

Boom gone,
Yeah, we move on
Even if we try to forget


Love will remember you,
And love will remember me,
I know it inside my heart,
Forever will, forever be ours,
Even if we try to forget,
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember

The trips we dreamed of takin',
The tacks left on the map,
What happened to that?
What happened to that?

When all you had was nothing,
And all we did was laugh,
What happened, what happened,
What happened to that?

Boom gone,
Yeah, we move on
Even if we try to forget

Love will remember you,
And love will remember me,
I know it inside my heart,
Forever will, forever be ours,
Even if we tried to forget
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember


Break down the walls,
Let heaven in.
Somewhere in forever
We'll dance again.
We used to be inseparable.
I used to think that I was irreplaceable.
We lit the whole world up
Before we blew it up.
I still don't know just how we screwed it up
Forever
Forever
Forever


Love will remember you,
And love will remember me,
I know it inside my heart,
Forever will, forever be ours,
Even if we tried to forget

Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember
Love will remember


I stopped playing the piano and whispered, barely audible.


"I love you so so so so much
You are worthy of all of the love in the world
You are the love of my life."


There were tears rolling down my face as I thought of all the memories of Demi. I looked at her and saw tears and she still looked shocked. I quickly looked away, said goodnight to the crowd and walked off stage.


I ran into my dressing room crying as I thought of Demi. I stayed in there for an two hours while Demi was performing. I finally decided to go out and watch Demi perform. I walked out and stood in front of the stage. Demi smiled when she saw me standing there. I smiled back and she looked away and began speaking, "Right now, just for you guys, I'm going to sing a BRAND NEW song."



Let it go, let it go
Can't hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn my back and slam the door

The snow blows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in
Heaven knows I try

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go,
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
Up here in the cold thin air I finally can breathe
I know left a life behind but I'm to relieved to grieve

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go,
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway

Standing frozen in the life I've chosen
You won't find me, the past is so behind me
Buried in the snow

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold you back anymore
Let it go, let it go,
Turn my back and slam the door
And here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let it go, let it go
The cold never bothered me anyway



"Now, that was supposed to be the last song of the night. But, I have something I want to do. Jennifer," she looked at me, straight into my eyes. "Could you come on stage please?" Confused, I walked on stage and leaned in, whispering in her ear, "What are you doing?" She answered, "You'll see" I stood back, still confused. "As you guys know, my friend Jennifer Brooks, here, is opening up for my tour. She has been amazing to me. She is the most important person in my life right now, so I'm going to dedicate this song to her right now." I smiled and looked away, trying to hide my blush. Demi leaned over and whispered, her hot breath against my ear, "Tale a seat." I looked over and saw a chair so I went and sat down.


She looked into my eyes and began to sing,


The space in between us
Starts to feel like we're worlds apart
Like I'm going crazy
And you say it's raining in your heart
You're telling me nobody's there to dry up the flood
Oh, but that's just crazy
'Cause baby, I told ya I'm here for good

My love's like a star, yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine and remember I'm always near
If you see a comet, baby, I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow, yeah
It won't be long just know that you're not alone

I try to build the walls to keep you safe
When I'm not around
But as soon as I'm away from you
You say they come tumbling down

But it's not about the time
That we don't get to spend together
Oh, it's about how strong our love is
When I'm gone and it feels like forever

My love's like a star, yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine and remember I'm always near
If you see a comet, if you see a comet, baby, I'm on it
Making my way back home, my way back home
Just follow the glow, yeah
It won't be long just know that you're not alone

You say the time away makes your heart grow numb
But I can't stay just to prove you wrong
Oh, look at how far we've come
Don't you know, don't you know that you're the one
Oh, you're not alone
You're not alone, oh
You're not alone, oh
You're not alone, oh
Know that you're not alone
You're not

My love's like a star, yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
Know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine and remember I'm always near, yeah
If you see a comet, baby, I'm on it
Making my way back home
Making my way back to you
Just follow the glow, yeah
It won't be long just know that you're not alone
Yeah-yeah, yeah, oh, oh



My mouth was hanging open and tears were in my eyes. Did she really just sing that to me?

"Jennifer could you come over here?" She asked and I walked over.

"Demi what is it?" I asked. "Well, to start off. I miss you Jennifer" she said, fully aware that she's in front of thousands of people. "Jen, I love you. I've never stopped loving you. I always have and always will." I looked at the screaming audience and back at Demi, "I-I don't know what to say." "Don't say anything." She leaned in to me and kissed me. Thousands of sparks went off inside of me. I kissed back, passionately. Even with the whole crowd at MSG, it felt like we were the only two people in the room. She pulled away and smiled. She slowly went down on one knee. "D-Demi, what are you doing?" I asked, as if it's not obvious. "Jennifer Brooks," she said taking out a little box and opening it, exposing a big diamond ring. "Will you marry me?" She asked looking up with a gleam in her eye. My mouth hung open. I've only known her for a short period of time, but it felt like forever. "Yes." I squeaked out. She stood up and pulled me into a hug. She slid the ring onto my finger and smiled. "Can we do one last duet, Jen?" "Sure, Demz" I smiled happily at my fiancé.


Demi started out.

My state of mind
Has finally got the best of me
I need you next to me

I'll try to find
A way that I can get to you
Just wanna get to you

The world I see is perfect now
You're all around
With you, I can breathe

We sang together in perfect harmony.

Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I've got to fight
Without you here by my side

Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine

Alone inside
I can only hear your voice
Ringing through the noise

I can't find my mind
Keeps on coming back to you
Always back to you

Wanted something out of reach
It's killing me, you're all I see

Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I've got to fight
Without you here by my side

Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine

Just stop wondering
If we were meant to be
Forget about fate
Just hold me

I'm ready to begin
The waiting has to end
Right now, today
I've got to find a way, yeah

Mine, until you're mine
Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I've got to fight
Without you here by my side

Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine

My state of mind
Has finally got the best of me
I need you next to me


We ran off stage, hand in hand.
