*concert day*
Charlie's pov:
I was so nervous,I was shaking
But before I could think any further, I was ushered on stage with a silent Leo next to me.
I'm sorry
"What's up, Warsaw! It's a pleasure to be here with all y'all Bambinos!! " Leo said enthusiastically as if nothing was wrong.
Somewhere in the crowd, Chloe's there.
"I'm really sorry for letting you guys wait, from the many live streams and tweets, most of you guys would have already known that I was admitted to the hospital due to a breakdown but I'm fine now though I had a minor memory loss a while back. But thanks to Charlie, I started to gain back those beautiful memories of him and all of the Bambinos! "
"Here's Battle Scars! "
You don't know what I've been through
I can teach you something that I never knew
Take a seat and take some time
Let me tell you what I've been through
They didn't know we'd come this far
Now they're looking at our battle scars
Half the lies you heard ain't true
So let me tell you what I've been through
I have a dream to be the one I want to see upon the screen
And when my son sees me I want to be the one he wants to be
And honestly I'm scared, my life is like a pier people walk all over me the waves are closing in you see
Relying on fate but what if I wait? Maybe a day but what if I'm late?
I miss my ride to take me where I'm meant to go or take me home
Why do I have these emotions? I don't want them please take them
I'm stuck inside a hole with nowhere to go and I really hate them
Damn! Do I have that much of an impact? My rhymes did that? Sometimes I wanna quit and hit back
But what is there to fear? Why am I even here?
Is there someone out there cause there's no one I can hear
You don't know what I've been through
I can teach you something that I never knew
Take a seat and take some time
Let me tell you what I've been through
They didn't know we'd come this far
Now they're looking at our battle scars
Half the lies you heard ain't true
So let me tell you what I've been through
It's hard looking back but I feel the time's right
I ventured to the dark but I wanna see the light
I'll lay my scars in front of you and show you what they done to me
I wouldn't change what happened they have made me who I am
Damn!
I want to hit back
I want to hit it out the park but I don't have a bat
Am I out of my depth? Am I out of my league?
Tell me where the exit is cause I want to leave
I'm terrified to know what's at the middle of this maze
If there is a God please take me from this place
What's the meaning of existence? Am I stuck inside a game?
What will happen when I die? Will my story r-replay?
I feel a void inside me that not a thing can fill
Sometimes I wanna cry, die, even want to kill
What's up with these emotions? I don't wanna feel at all
You don't know what I've been through
I can teach you something that I never knew
Take a seat and take some time
Let me tell you what I've been through
They didn't know we'd come this far
Now they're looking at our battle scars
Half the lies you heard ain't true
So let me tell you what I've been through
Cheers filled the stadium,
"Everybody, I would like to dedicate this next song to a special someone!"
I nodded to Leo telling him i was going solo. I needed to do this.
You've been runnin' round, runnin' round, runnin' round throwin' that dirt all on my name
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd call you up
You've been going round, going round, going round every party in L.A.
'Cause you knew that I, knew that I, knew that I'd be at one, oh
I know that dress is karma, perfume regret
You got me thinking 'bout when you were mine, oh
And now I'm all up on ya, what you expect?
But you're not coming home with me tonight
You just want attention, you don't want my heart
Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new
Yeah, you just want attention, I knew from the start
You're just making sure I'm never gettin' over you
"To my EXgirlfriend,Chloe!" I said to the crowd,after finishing half the song.
"Next is a cover that we enjoyed recording, hope you all enjoy! " Leo introduced.
Talkin' in my sleep at night
Makin' myself crazy
(Out of my mind, out of my mind)
Wrote it down and read it out
Hopin' it would save me
(Too many times, too many times)
My love
He makes me feel like nobody else
Nobody else
But my love
He doesn't love me, so I tell myself
I tell myself
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
I started singing until Leo cuts me off, singing the next sentence.
"And if you're under him, you ain't getting over him" he sang looking into my eyes.
I got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
Leo took a deep breath and started rapping, all while looking at me.
You're out, I'm in, I don't know I can't win
Friend tryna get between us, they should quit the talking
We stay up late, we could talk till morning
Everybody envious, I tell 'em keep on walking
Drop in, everybody makin' sure we okay
I know we end up goin' in like students on a snow day
Okay, go ahead, show 'em what you made of
Baby you're the baddest but we can't forget what made us
Thanks, we made our thing. Baby that we made one
Just because of this we shouldn't throw it all away ah
And you know you drive me crazy
Don't listen to your friends, you know you are my baby
I sang mindlessly, trying to figure out what Leondre's thinking.
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't getting over him
I got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
Thinkin' about everything we left it can be haunting, but look into the future and I see
Nothing is so clear as if I'm looking in the mirror, we are meant to be
I know the road it gets rough. The times they get tough, I'm always at your side
Our feet they are heavy, our aims are ran steady, all I want is for you to be mine.
The lyrics to his rap felt like they were aimed at me. And it hurts, that he had to tell me how he felt through this.
One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again
Three, don't be his friend
You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you're under him, you ain't getting over him
I got new rules, I count 'em
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
I've got new rules, I count 'em
I've gotta tell them to myself
I sang, ending the song.
"I... I have to make a decision by the end of this concert. But I figured, why not do it now. " I hesitated but carried on anyways.
"This is my answer"
(Let's just take it that 'right for you' hasn't been released yet)
I tried it once, I tried it twice
But I couldn't bring myself to do it to you
I may be wrong, I may be right
Now I know I'm devoting myself to you
My own stupidity has got me messed up in my own dignity
You made me realise how much I care for you
I turn to look at Leo who was sitting on a stool in front of me.
Now darling please tell me, am I right for you?
'Cause if I am I wanna know, is this love we have true?
Now darling please tell me, am I right for you?
'Cause if I am I wanna know, is this love we have true?
Is this love we have true?
Hold me close, and bear the tide that awaits
In that moment that it hits all we ever do is wait
A glimmer of hope, my only reason to live on
'Cause I'm praying for the best, but I don't control the storm
From this world one day when I'm looking back at my mistakes
Thinking of leaving you is the biggest that I made
And when the timeline shows an endless cycle of life
All I thought about is you the reason for my life
The bitter of this earth carves meaning into me
The only one that can take every breath inside of me
Every moment in happiness is a memory in death
I will love you for eternity plus whatever is left
Now darling please tell me, am I right for you?
'Cause if I am I wanna know, is this love we have true?
Now darling please tell me, am I right for you?
'Cause if I am I wanna know, is this love we have true?
Is this love we have true?
I tried it once, I tried it twice
But I couldn't bring myself to do it to you
I may be wrong, I may be right
Now I know I'm devoting myself to you
I tried it once, I tried it twice
But I couldn't bring myself to do it to you
I may be wrong, I may be right
Now I know I'm devoting myself to you
Now darling please tell me, am I right for you?
'Cause if I am I wanna know, is this love we have true?
Now darling please tell me, am I right for you?
'Cause if I am I wanna know, is this love we have true?
Is this love we have true?
He finally dared to look up at me, finding me staring at him.
He nodded.
"Yes, you're right for me! " he said over and over again, hugging me.
"I held the mic to my mouth and said, "I think we can finally say Chardre is real! " I said getting shouts and screams of excitement and maybe one of frustration.
"I never thought I'd hear you say that, " Leo laughed whole sobbing of happiness, pecking me on the lips.
"We're ending off with another cover; Perfect by Ed Sheeran"
I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a boy beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Leo started the first part, gaining cheers from unexpected fans.
Well I found a man, stronger than anyone I know
He shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share hisnhome
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my guy, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that suit, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And he looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
I ended off, smiling at Leo until I saw our manager who does not look happy at all.
