Big Time Songwriter

Big Time Break

All of the boys and me are sitting by the pool and I'm laying next to James with my head on his chest. James has an arm warped around me and is rubbing my back with hand.

"Hey did I ever tell you guys about the time my hair dryer blew up and I..."

"Yes."

"Heard it."

"About 30 times."

"You know what I think ruins a pink smoothie?"

"Raspberry seeds."

"Herd it."

"Hey do you guys remember that time."

"Robots from space."

"That's it. We are spending way too much time together."

"I am starting to hate all of you. Except for Bella."

"Same here."

"Split up."

They all ran in opposite directions and somehow ended up back in their apartment.

"Spit up again."

I don't know how but they all ended up at Rocque records.

"Dogs I'm taking the day off, I'm starting to hate all of you."

"We hate you too."

"Tones of hate."

"Really? Well then, split up."

I grabbed James' hand and took him too the control room.

"Why did you take me here?"

"Because I want to record a song and you're going to help me. Plus I'm going to feature you on one of my songs if that's okay with you. I already have the song written. It's called I Knew What You Did Last Summer. Here are the lyrics just read over them and tell me what you think."

"Bella this song sounds amazing."

"Do you want to watch me record a song that I wrote about us?"

"Yeah."

"Great, you know how to work the sound board right."

"Yeah, of course."

"Great let me call my band, get them down here and then we can get started."

"Okay."

I pulled out my phone and called my band and asked them to come down to the studio. When they got here I introduced them to James and he was happy to meet my band.

"Okay guys the song is called Better In Stereo. I already emailed to the music sheets for it so you know what to play. James when I give you a thumbs up you know what to do."

"Okay, Bella. Better In Stereo from the top whenever you're ready Bella."

I gave James a thumbs up and he hit record and the band started to play the tune to Better In Stereo.

"I'm up with the sunshine.

I lace on my high tops.

Slam dunk, ready or not.

Yeah, show me what you got.

I'm under the spot light.

I dare you, come on and follow.

You dance to your own beat.

I'll sing the melody.

When you say, yeah, I say no.

When you say stop.

All I wanna do is go, go, go.

You, you, the other half of me, me.

The half I'll never be.

The half that drives me crazy.

You, you, the better half of me, me.

The half I'll always need.

We both know we're better in stereo

And when we're together.

A sweet harmony, oh, so rare.

We could go major league.

But you say, yeah, I say no.

When you say stop.

All I wanna do is go, go, go.

You, you the other half of me, me.

The half I'll never be.

The half that drives me crazy.

You, you, the better half of me, me.

The half I'll always need.

We both know we're better in stereo.

You say it's wrong, I say it's right.

You say it's black, I say it's white.

You take a left, I take right.

But at the end of the day we both know.

You, you, me, me.

You, you, we both know.

You, you, we're better in stereo.

Me, me, we're better in stereo.

You, you, we both know.

You, you, the other half of me, me.

The half I'll never be.

We both know we're better in stereo."

James stoped recording and ran into the booth and spun me around. And I couldn't help but laugh.

"So, I take it you like the song."

"Liked it, I loved it."

"Okay guys we're going to record one more song and then we're done for the day. But we're going to need some one at the controls so we can record the last song. Yeah I didn't really think this part through. Hold on I think I can get us someone to record the song for us."

I pulled out my phone and called Gustavo and asked him to come down to the studio and help me record a song.

"Bella I'm only here because I don't hate you. So you wanna feature James on a song."

"Yup, it'll be better for future album sales for when big time rush demos get picked. Or I could find a way to call Shawn Mendes and ask him to sing the song with me."

"Do you want that to happen because I can make that happen Bella."

"You better not be lying to me Gustavo."

"I know his manager I can make that happen right now."

I ran out of the booth and hugged Gustavo.

"Yeah, hi Andrew, is Shawn in L.A. by any chance?... oh he is... yeah can you send him over to Rocque records... I need him for a song...what song? Hold on let me ask...Bella what's the name of that song?"

"I know what you did last summer."

"Yeah I'm still here it's called I Know What You Did Last Summer... perfect thank you...bye"

"We'll what did he say?"

"He's sending him over right now."

After Gustavo said that the entire room went black.

James' POV

I watched Bella fall backwards and I ran in to catch her before she hit her head on the ground.

"Gustavo I think you may have broken Bella."

"I just hope she wakes up before that boy gets here. James put her on the couch."

"Okay and what do we do when Shawn Mendes gets here?"

"Pray she doesn't freeze or pass out. Speaking of which I have to greet our guest. James wake up Bella."

I walked over to Bella and did the one thing that I knew would wake her up. I kissed her on the lips like the prince would do in a movie

"Hey there sleeping beauty, you passed out on me."

"How long was I out for?"

"A few minutes, not too long. But hey look who's here to record a song with you."

"Hey, I'm Shawn."

I help Bella get up off of the couch and walked her over to him.

"Hi I'm Isabella."

"Why does that name sound familiar."

"Isabella Spade, been a independent artist since I was twelve."

"Oh my god my sister loves your music. Is it okay if I get a picture with you?"

"Yeah sure."

"Here Bella, why don't you stand next to him and I can take the picture."

"Sure thanks, babe."

Shawn handed me his phone and I took the picture for the two of them.

"Here you go man, and thank you so much for doing this with Bella, it really means a lot to her and me."

"Well, any thing I can do to help her on her next album."

"Hey James can you hand me the lyric sheets that I had earlier."

I picked up the lyric sheets and handed them to her. But before I walked away I kissed her on the cheek and gave her a hug from behind while she talked to Shawn about the song.

"James can you let go of me so I can go in the booth and record the song."

I let go of Bella and she walked into the booth with Shawn Mendes.

Bella's POV

I walked into the booth with Shawn Mendes and we put on the headphones. I gave Gustavo a thumbs up that I was ready to record the song with Shawn.

My band started to play the tune to the song I Know What You Did Last Summer.

"Ah-ah, hey-hey

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, hey-hey

Ah-ah, ah-ah

He knows

Dirty secrets that I keep

Does he know it's killing me?

He knows, he knows

D-d-does he know

Another's hands have touched my skin?

I won't tell him where I've been

He knows, he knows, he knows

It's tearing me apart

She's slipping away (I'm slipping away)

Am I just hanging on to all the words she used to say?

The pictures on her phone

She's not coming home (I'm not coming home)

Coming home, coming home

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Just lied to me, "There's no other" (hey-hey)

I know what you did last summer

Tell me where you've been

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Look me in the eyes, my lover (hey-hey)

I know, I know, I know (hey-hey)

I know, I know, I know, I know (ah-ha)

I know, I know, I know (ah-ha)

I didn't mean it, no, I didn't mean it, mean it, no (hey-hey)

Can't seem to let you go (Ah-ah)

Can't seem to hold you close (Ah-ah)

I know

When she looks me in the eyes

They don't seem as bright

No more, no more

I know

That she loved me at one time

Would I promise her that night

Cross my heart and hope to die

It's tearing me apart (It's tearing me apart)

She's slipping away (I'm slipping away)

Am I just hanging on to all the words she used to say?

The pictures on her phone (The pictures on my phone)

She's not coming home (I'm not coming home)

Oh, na, na, na, oh yeah

I know what you did last summer (ah-ah)

Just lied to me, "There's no other" (hey-hey)

Can't seem to let you go

Can't seem to keep you close (You know I didn't mean it, though)

Tell me where you've been lately

Tell me where you've been lately (Just hold me close)

Tell me where you've been lately

Tell me where you've been lately

(Don't, don't, don't let me go)

Can't seem to keep you close

Can't seem to let you go (I didn't mean it, though)

I know you didn't mean it, though

I know you didn't mean it, though (I don't wanna let you go)

I know, I know, I know, I know (ah-ha)

I know, I know, I know (ah-ha)

I know."

When Shawn and I where done singing we cheered and gave each other a hug.

"That was awesome!"

"Yeah, we killed it with that song Bella."

"Thank you for singing a song with me."

"Of course. I love to help out others."

"I know this a lot to ask but can you send me the picture we took together."

"Yeah, I'll do that right now. Just give me your number."

I gave Shawn my number and he gave me his. He sent me the picture. I have to say James took a pretty good picture of me and Shawn.

"Awe we look adorable. We'll have to collaborate on another song sometime."

"Yeah, I'd like that. Just text when you want to do another song with me."

"I will."

"Well I have to get back before my manager kills me."

"It was nice meeting you Shawn."

"Same here Isabella."

"Bella."

"I'm sorry?"

"I'd prefer it if you called me Bella."

"Well goodbye Bella."

"Bye Shawn."

He walked out of the studio and when he was to here he couldn't here me anymore I walked back into the booth and a let out a little

scream. I started jumping up and down like a little kid that just found out that they get to go get ice cream.

James ran in not to long after me, he put his hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eyes.

"Bella, you need to calm down."

"I can't, I just met one of my idols. That doesn't happen very often."

"Okay I get you're excited but tone it down about ten notches okay?"

"I'll try but I don't think I can."

"How about I take you back to your apartment and we can take a bath together. How does that sound?"

"Sounds exactly like what I need."

"Okay, come on let's go."

James held out his hand for me to take but instead I jumped on his back and he just laughed at me.

"Well that's one way to get you back to the Palm Woods."

He walked out of Rocque records and we walked back to the Palm Woods with me on his back.

"Hey Bella what's your apartment number."

"3B."

James took me back to my apartment and set me down on my feet so I could open the door.

Once we were inside I led James to the bathroom and started the bath.

After we took a bath together we got dressed and we took a nap in my bed, but accidentally slept there for the rest of the night.
