Love Conquers All - Juke | JATP FANFICTION (BOOK ONE)

5x3. Can I Be Him?

When Luke reached Julie at a table in the common room, as he gets a flashback. "For some odd reason, I am always writing about this guy." Julie sighed.  Luke smiles sadly, as he walks to the table, crying. "Hi." She cries, as everyone else comes down. "If I asked you, who, would you think I'm crazy?" He asked, grabbing his guitar. "Well I think we're all a little crazy, Patterson." He chuckles. "These stories you write, are purely amazing, every note, just wow." He smiled, as he pulls focus back to reality, he frowned. "Why is it that people leave us when we need them the most?" She asked. "To remind us, we are all painfully human, you know Can I Be Him by James Arthur?" She nodded. "So just sing it again. Oh, and can I be him?" He asked, and Julie chuckled. "You already are!" He smiled, pulling focus back to their "staring" contest. "Happy birthday Julie!" The group says, smiling. "Thank you!" She beams, as Luke tries not to stare into her eyes. Willie nudges him gently, as his heart throbs. "Did you buy this?" Ray whispers to Luke, and he nods somberly. Ray clears his throat. "Alright who said what to who?" He asks, watching Julie and Luke silently cry. "Well after Reggie "found" us at the restaurant down the street. He said how we've ignored everyone, then we've talked it out, and we've decided to take a break."He says, as his voice breaks. "I need some air, pardon me everyone." He says, stepping outside for a moment. Ray looks at the boys. "You think your being ignored?" He asks them. "Well.... yeah." Alex says defeated. "Okay then, time for some truth, Ms Beatrice." She smiles. "Julie invited me to your guys' showcase, that night you guys were signed." She informed them. "Then Luke went to Bobby, and called a truce, and that's why he is around more Reginald, and you even have your niece in your life now too, and the lovely miss Hannah too." Reggie smiles to himself. "So,  you two don't ignore us, as much as it seems, anyway." Alex smiles slightly. Julie wipes her face, as she hands them pieces of cake. "We never try to, y'know." Julie says, clearing her throat. "Thanks for the cake." She chuckles, assuming her dad got it for her. "Hey now, I can't take the credit, not for this one." He smiles, putting his hands up in defense. "Then who?" Alex asks. "Me!" Luke says, storming over to his seat. "So, anyway how are we?" Luke asks tiredly. "Good." Julie says, and he smiles slightly. Everyone says goodnight to the Molinas and Luke and heads to their rooms. "Where were you?" Luke smiles. "Read the card." She opens the card. "Meet me in the venue, downstairs and then make a right when you walk in." She smiles, following him. "Hello? Hello, are you in here?" She asks, walking into the venue, then a spotlight comes on, as a guitar rings through. She takes that as her cue to sit in the front row. "You walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Oh, can I, can I be him?
Won't you sing it again?
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
Oh, sing it again, yeah
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
I swear that every word you sang, you wrote 'em for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?" He bows, and teleports to her. "Part one of your birthday surprise is complete." She smiles. "Then, for the next part, we can watch anime all day, and see the Eiffel Tower before the show, and then after the show, I'm gonna redo your nails, just because you love it." She sighs. "Oh thank you, these nails look rough." He chuckles. "No they don't." He gently kisses her head. Teleporting into the room. She goes to bed, as his guitar appears in his hands. "That never gets old!" He then gets changed into pyjamas, and gets into bed. "Hallelujah!" Julie laughs. "Oh shush, it's a really comfortable bed." He smiles. "You're a goof!" Julie says. "Yay!" He smiles, kissing her head, as his eyes close. Julie chuckles, as she feels him pull her closer.
