"Hey Jealousy" by Gin Blossoms (Performed by Nicolas (for Lestat))

*Sitting there holding Laurent's hand, I realized that we still hadn't performed anything, we've only been backup to Santiago. I looked over at Lestat and smiled. A song I'd long forgotten about came into my head. I squeezed Laurent's hand and kissed him.*

I'm going to perform, I thought of a song I want to do finally.

*His brow furled but he nodded and I went backstage to find something better to wear. It was a simple rose colored shirt that went with the black pants. I pulled it on over my head and grabbed my rose colored guitar with the mother of pearl face plate as I walked back onto the stage.*

*I began with the guitar and the drummer kept up with me. This really was a good house band. I looked over at Lestat, this song was for him. It reminded me of our relationship, and where we might be today. I leaned forward into the mic, my eyes still on Lestat.*

Well tell me do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for drivin'
And anyway I 've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place
*I offered a smile as I sang, perhaps offering this as something that might one day happen. If our drunken revelry was happening today, the cops would probably be chasing us*

Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy

*I motioned with my head for Lestat to come up on stage with me. I saw the curl of his lip as he excused himself and walked forward. He walked past me though and I was a bit worried until he came back out with his own teal blue custom made guitar.*
And you can trust me not to drink
And not to sleep around
And if you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down

*Lestat picked up the beat with me and gave the electric strum in the background.*
Cuz all I really want's to be with you
And feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

*I pushed my back against Lestat's as I continued to sing.*
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

Hey jealousy

*I let Lestat take the guitar solo, we both knew he wanted to show off that he could play. He stood next to me as he played and I couldn't help but watch his fingers move along the fret with such grace.*

*When he was done, he smiled at me and winked.*
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

*Lestat leaned into the mic and sang with me*
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy
Hey jealousy

*Lestat walked off the stage, continuing to play. It wasn't my violin that I played, but I was enjoying this.*
Well tell me do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for drivin'
And anyway I've got no place to go

*Lestat surprised me as he moved quickly back to the stage and stood right in front of me. Our fingers on the guitars almost touching as we played.*
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
And if I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

*Lestat smiled and sang the next lyrics for me as it was now his turn to stare at me. I couldn't take it and had to look away. I stepped back and to the side of the mic.*
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found to take its place
Hey jealousy

*As the song came to a close, I sang the last few lyrics. This wasn't how I pictured this performance going, but it had been fun. Though my thoughts were even worse off now then they had been in some time.*

Hey jealousy
Listen to my heart
Well there's only one thing I can start

*Lestat pushed his guitar behind him and gave me a hug. I stood there stunned for a few moments until he kissed my cheek and walked off to put his guitar back. I cleared my throat and looked at Laurent then blushed at his facial expression. Not good.*
