Joel walked across the stage as he tried to catch his breath. He was already sweating, body exhausted, physically drained. He looked up at the lights, heard the roar of fans screaming, the random lights going off from people taking pictures. He smirked… this was everything he wanted. “ We’re going to slow it down for a bit” he said, adjusting his pants at his hips as he pulled them up. Dancing around was getting to him right now. One Less Lonely Girl? Already done. Girl with her bouquet, check. He ran the edge of his knuckle against his nose as the set techs brought the piano up onto the set. “ I wrote this song about a week after I uh.. well about a week after I woke up. It’s important that everyone believes in themselves, that they believe they were made for something great,” he said, wiping the back of his arm against his face to wipe off the sweat before he sat at the piano bench that they set up. He rolled his shoulder before he looked down at the piano, bringing his fingers to the ivory keys quickly before he started playing. Born To Be Somebody was a song that was pretty important to him. He wished that David had gotten that message sooner. His own brush with death certainly shook him to the core. He strained his neck to the side as he sang out to sing, letting the sweat drip down his face as he moved his hands across the piano. He had written another song, Pray, but Born To Be Somebody felt more like an ode to all of his fans, to show how much it meant to him that they supported him. He was glad that they were alright with slowing things down, that they reacted so well to a new song. It didn’t take long for the song to finish, and almost simultaneously as he played the last key on the piano he stood up, kicking the bench away from him as Love Me started to blare from the speakers. So much for a break. Joel put his hand up to his ear as he neared the edge of the stage. He laughed as they screamed louder, giving a quick laugh before he jumped back on stage and stood amongst his dancers before he broke into the choreography that he’d worked so hard on in the studio, Logan watching over his every move.
Love Me was unofficially Rosie’s song. It was her favorite of his, he always sang it to her because she loved it. Joel reached down opening his hoodie and opened it to a shirt that had a picture of Rosie on it. Cheesy. Aw. That girl was just as much a part of his family as Ryan O’Neil was. Of course by now he was sweaty enough that the shirt was sticking to him. There was something about standing on that stage, hearing people screaming your name. He could die right here in this moment. Fuck getting hit by a car, if he was gonna die he wanted it to be on stage. Plus he wasn’t entirely alone. Dani had flown out for this show to open up for him, and Logan was here tonight as well, just to check up with the new assistant that was his who he had basically assigned to watch over Joels’ management. Hottie. It’d been her first show, so Joel had made the ‘One Less Lonely Girl’. Welcome to the tour, baby. Joel stopped when the last beat of the song came through the speakers, which resulted in the lights going out. He tilted his mic away from his lips, still trying to catch his breath as he ripped his shirt off, taking the clean flannel one from a stage tech and put it on quickly, buttoning it up as the lights came back on before he tossed his shirt from earlier out into the crowd. “ Yo Renner..” he called out, having a bit of downtime now that he had done most of his own set. All he really had left was Never Say Never.. fan favorite Baby, which he would undoubtedly dedicate to Ryan, probably drag Dani out for another duet. He just really wanted to perform Boyfriend, some of his new tracks. But Logan was right, all in due time. “ Teach me how to dougie,” he said with a smirk, waiting for Logan to join him on stage. Ironically, Logan had taught him how to dougie. About six months ago. Besides he needed Logan out on stage anyways for when they sang Somebody To Love soon. After a couple more things…
Joel gripped the bill of his baseball cap, flipping it around quickly so that it was backwards when the music for teach me how to dougie started. It was fun as hell dancing with Logan, always had been. Some of his favorite moments were when he was at the studio with the guys. Shane and Ryan dancing like complete shit, then there was him and Logan. Actually able to dance. Always had fun with it. He bounced his head along to the music, switching from the dougie to just standing in one specific area as he began to kick his legs out. Logan was his role model, mentor, he basically created Joel. Getting to spend time with him was like getting to spend time with your creator, pretty phenomenal. Plus he was pretty cool about things aside from music. You could just go and talk to him about your personal shit. He was open. Like before the show, now he had all these girls claiming they were the one that he spoke about his interview. He had told that girl things about himself that he didn’t normally reveal to people, all without knowing her name. “ Who is my favorite poet?” he would ask them , watching them scramble for any name. The thing about Joel was, people didn’t realize how naturally gifted and smart he was. He wasn’t one to necessarily look on it, but Madeline would sure as hell brag about it. He played piano, played guitar, picked up choreography like it was a piece of cake even though spent hours in the studio working on it, could do a rubik’s cube in about a minute and half, talked science with Ryan like he’d been studying it his whole life, graduated high school early, played drums which he had been doing since the age of two as well with the other instruments. Just because he was a goofball, didn’t mean he wasn’t smart. Just because he wanted to sing music like ‘Boyfriend’ didn’t mean he couldn’t kick your ass at a debate. The boy that rode around on a segway could mop the floor with a lot of people intellectually. He just chose to have fun most of the time.
Joel adjusted his mic so that it was back by his lips after dancing, pulling his jeans up again. He should buy better belts. “ Logan since you’re out here…” he said, walking over to Justin who was coming out onto stage. He was going to grab the headset from Justin but apparently Justin decided to just tackle Logan instead, wrapping his arms and legs around him tightly as he impaled him against the stage floor. Joel laughed as he watched Justin, his personal jester on tour. “ Man be careful he’s worth more than you are,” he said, taking a drink from his bottle of water before he tossed it to the side. Justin stood up, dusting himself off before he shoved against Logan’s chest a couple more times and finally handed him the mic and earpiece. Joel watched as Justin just sort of hung out on stage. “ You’re just going to hang out?” he asked, shaking his head as he looked at him. “ You have nothing better to do?” he asked with a straight face. Justin put his arms out at his side, palms facing up ‘ Bro I got nothing but time, I’m all yours” he said, yelling over the fans so Joel could hear him. He wasn’t wearing a mic so it wasn’t like anyone else could. “ Biggest waste of space,” he said before looking at Logan. “What do you even pay him for anyways?” he said before laughing, making his way across the stage. ‘ Someone’s gotta look good with your ugly ass mugs up on the stage’ Justin cried out causing Joel to laugh as he rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. “ Whatever.. Logan while I’ve got you on stage I needed you to clarify something for me…” he said. “ Now is THIS a boy band move?” he asked before doing the ever popular fist pump from the NSync Bye Bye Bye video and then turned to look at Logan. “ Or is this a better boy band move?” he asked, putting his hand out in front of him and sliding to the side before he bounced back and forth, knowing that Logan would know he was mimicking the choreography from LoveStruck. Yup he learned the choreography from LoveStruck. Perfectly. And he knew at the drop of a hat Logan would be able to snap back into it as well.
Joel spun his baseball cap around quickly as the song started. This had been one he had always wanted to cover and when he looked over Logan was doing the dance moves as well. However, as he kept looking at him he could tell that Justin was just dancing as poorly as possible, landing a similar dance move to them every few counts. Kind of. Then he would celebrate getting a dance move right and sort of just looked like a chicken having a seizure. “ Girl I really wanna get that get that relation no doubt about it,” he sang out as loudly as he could, popping into the dance moves as precisely as he could before spinning on his feet and backing off, letting Logan do his thing. He laughed as Justin came up to Logan, booty shaking next to him. Joel placed his hands on his pants, thumbs through the fabric of his jeans as he pushed his hips in and out before rolling them quickly and then continuing to dance along to the music. He laughed, holding his stomach as the song ended, looking up at the telepromopters that were showing the music video behind them. “ Wait wait play that back and pause it,” he said , wiping his hand over his mouth as he walked over to it, pointing up at it before he looked at Logan. “ How the hell deep is your v-neck. What is the point of that?” he asked, looking down at his flannel shirt and jokingly unbuttoned a few buttons to create the illusion of a deep v before he looked up at Logan. “ Is this supposed to look good?” he asked, but Justin was quickly chiming in since the crowd couldn’t hear him, ‘ Baby you look like sex on a stick” he said, rocking back on his heels. Joel took a few seconds to catch his breath. “ We’ve got another treat for you,” he said, watching as some of the techs were setting up lights. “ I need Dani out here..” he said, looking over at Justin who screamed out at the top of his lungs “ ON IT” before running off to the side to go get Dani. He definitely didn’t need her to sing, Somebody To Love was a song that him and Logan got to do together. But it never hurt to have a pretty girl on stage. ‘ Put me down!” Dani screamed as Justin came out carrying her over his shoulder before he set her down promptly in front of Logan. ‘….. Sup?’ she said to Logan, giving him a head nod, as if this was all completely normal and planned. ‘ You looked a little rusty out there’ she said sarcastically, pretending to brush dirt off Logan’s shoulder. He was anything but rusty and she knew it. He could still drive girls crazy without batting an eyelash. Joel wiped his hand over his face as the music started, moving in close to Dani so that his body was close to hers, singing into his mic though it looked like he was singing into Dani’s ear. “ For you I’d write a symphony..” he sang, circling around her body as he placed his hand on her stomach and then twirled her around quickly before he jumped to the side and jumped into the choreography from his music video, pretending to play a piano before he jumped up straight and jerked his body in quick movements from side to side, locking his knees in place as he kicked them out for the dance routine.
