instagram live

(an: gemma talking - underline, gemma singing - italics, thoughts - regular, noah talking - bold)

HI guys! its gemma! well, i think it is. i started an instagram livestream. ooh i should ask them what they want me to do! so! what should i do? im scanning the comments and most of them say sing! alright, you guys want me to sing, i guess i will. i grab my electric piano and set it on the table along with my phone. i am gonna sing one song first, and then you guys can request songs. the first song is called 'heather' by conan gray. so for this one, i am gonna pull up the karaoke on my ipad, cause i dunno the piano notes. i quickly run upstairs to grab my ipad. anyways, im back! uh, so this is 'heather'.

i still remember
third of december
me in your sweater
you said it looked better

on me, than it did you
only if you knew
how much i liked you
but i watch your eyes, as she

walks by
what a sight for
sore eyes
brighter than a
blue sky
shes got you
mesmerized
while i die

why would you ever kiss me?
im not even half, as pretty
you gave her your sweater
its just polyester, but you like her better
wish i were heather

watch as she stands with
her holding your hand
put your arm 'round her shoulder
now im getting colder

but how could i hate her?
shes such an angel
but then again, kinda
wish she were dead, as she

walks by
what a sight for
sore eyes
brighter than a
blue sky
shes got you
mesmerized
while i die

why would you ever kiss me?
im not even half, as pretty
you gave her your sweater
its just polyester, but you like her better
i wish i were heather

wish i were heather
wish i were heather

why would you ever kiss me?
im not even half as pretty
you gave her your sweater
its just polyester, but you like her better
wish i were

so, uh what did you guys think? most of the comments said that it was amazing. um no. this is not uh related to anyone. have i experienced heart break? not romantically, but a different type yes. my father. that was heartbreak. am i okay? uh, not really, but im getting some help. oh! also, thank you noah, for everything. you know, i pictured you quiet different before i met you. he commented, 'oh really?' yeah, i thought you were just the jokester, or the wild one. 'oh, so im not?' no. your way more than that. 'really?' yeah. i dont really know how to explain it, you just get me. i smile. you guys! should i have noah join the live? everyone says yes. noah? whadda ya think? 'why would i say no?' i laugh. okay okay, you may enter. i request him to join, and he does. hi. hi noah. hows it going? well, uh not so great, but its getting better. well, thats good. okay question! shoot. you listen to conan gray? yes. his songs are on all of my playlists. okay. so about that song that you sang on facetime...! i dont know if i should post that. why not? its a bit awkward singing to a camera. than sing it on the livestream. um. okay? everyone! screen record! but im still singing to a camera. no, your singing to me. another smile. no words. cmon, youve done it before! i will. wait, how about another song. another song? yeah. its a very old one. have i heard it? no. i did write it though! everyone, this is an original song, called 'hung up on you'

do you ever feel like you
are running in slow motion?
you ever get that feeling that the door wont budge
no, matter how hard you try?
do you ever stay up all night
'cause you feel you're not enough?
well i do
i think it's 'cause im still hung up on you

ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
im still hung up on you
what have you put me through?
my mind aint got a clue
oh, oh, dont know what to do, i aint over you
oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

when youre in the middle of a really bad dream
then you decide that thats enough
so you try to tell yourself the fears are all gone
but you just cannot wake up
you ever have those days when youre stuck in your head
but you cant explain why?
well i do
and this time i aint gonna lie

ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
im still hung up on you
what have you put me through?
my mind aint got a clue
oh, oh, don't know what to do, i aint over you
oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

then i start to realize, youre not there anymore
and i cant look into your eyes and feel like before
you will never understand how confusing it was
you never took the time to explain, why such a long pause?

ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
im still hung up on you
what have you put me through?
my mind aint got a clue
oh, oh, don't know what to do, i aint over you
oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

oh, oh, i dont know what to do
oh, oh, im still hung up on you
oh, oh, my mind aint got a clue
oh, oh
then i start to realize, youre not there anymore
and i cant look into your eyes

so? what did you think? how do you come up with these songs? better yet, sing them so perfectly? thanks, but you dont have to lie, just be honest! but i am being honest! god maybe you should stop acting and just become a singer. wait no dont do that, then i wont see you as often. he's too nice. i could never quit acting! good! ruby just make an album! in order to do that, you have to be a good singer. youre kidding right? uh no.... okay i have to leave, but stop degrading yourself! you are such an amazing singer, ruby! thank you apple. no problem, i have to leave, but talk later? obviously! bye apple! bye ruby! noah leaves the livestream. okay! im gonna end the stream, i kinda want to watch stranger things so bye guys!

stream ended.
