"Next up we have (y/n) and Zack singing Only Us from Dear Evan Hansen" Ang said. Zack and I stood up and walked towards the stage.
We each took a mic. I looked to Zack, and he nodded. I then looked to the pianist and nodded to him.
I began to sing.
I don't need you to sell me on reasons to want you
I don't need you to search for the proof that I should
You don't have to convince me
You don't have to be scared you're not enough
'Cause what we've got going is good
I don't need more reminders of all that's been broken
I don't need you to fix what I'd rather forget
Clear the slate and start over
Try to quiet the noises in your head
We can't compete with all that
So what if it's us
What if it's us
And only us
And what came before won't count anymore or matter
Can we try that?
What if it's you
And what if it's me
And what if that's all that we need it to be
And the rest of the world falls away
What do you say?
He began to sing
I never thought there'd be someone like you who would want me
I giggled.
Well
He sang again
So I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go
But if you really see me
If you like me for me and nothing else
Well, that's all that I've wanted for longer that you could possibly know
So it can be us
It can be us
And only us
And what came before won't count anymore or matter
We can try that
We sang in unison.
It's not so impossible
He sang
Nobody else but the two of us here
Unison
'Cause you're saying it's possible
I closed my eyes and sang passionately
We can just watch the whole world disappear
Unison
Till you're the only one I still know how to see
He turned to me
It's just you and me
I turned to him too and we stood facing eachother and I sang
It'll be us
It'll be us
And only us
And what came before won't count anymore
He joined me
We can try that
You and me
That's all that we need it to be
And the rest of the world falls away
And the rest of the world falls away
The world falls away
The world falls away
And it's only us
He kissed me and everyone clapped. As we pulled away, I smiled.
We walked off stage.
"Well that concludes our Christmas concert. Thank you Zack, (y/n), Emilia, Luke, and Ana for singing (I did random names)" Angela said, concluding our night. Everyone began packing up their things when Zacks phone rang.
"Dr. Zack Addy speaking" he said. We all looked as his eyes widened. "Oh" he said. "Yes sir I will think about it" he was cut off. "Oh it's not optional" his head dropped. "Yes sir I will call you tomorrow" he hung up his phone and stared at it.
"I've been drafted to go to war in Iraq" he said.
We all gasped and I grasped the chair next to me, in support of me not fainting.
"You....you have to go?" I said looking up at him. "They just called me" he stared off into space. "I'm going to Iraq" a tear slipped down his face.
"It'll be ok" Angela said placing her hand on his shoulder.
"They want to be a doctor there. Help save people" he said monotone. I looked at everyone else, who too, had tears in their eyes
"(Y/N) will cover your job for now. You aren't going to lose your job" Brennan said. I nodded and linked my hand with his.
We walked slowly out of the now empty cafe, all still in disbelief. "I leave Friday" he said.
"Christmas Eve?" I said in shock. "They can't take you on Christmas Eve!"
He sighed. "They can. I'm so sorry" he hugged me tightly.
They can't take him
They can't
A/n I'm sorry. Please feel free to message me yelling at me
