(6) The Grammy's Showstopper
Cassaddee's Outfit
The limo stops and Kirstie and I escape the long as shit vehicle. The blonde heads off to find her husband and I scan the crowd.
"Hey, you're Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying's daughter, right?" I turn around and SWEET BABY DRAGONS IT'S BRENDON URIE
"That's me!" He hugs me, HUGS ME ASDFGHJKL, and smiles widely.
"Big fan of your parents. (idk if that's true or not lol) I've never heard you sing before."
"I have a YouTube channel of my own called PartyFangirl101 (had to look at last book holy hell) where I post covers of songs. I did a cover of Nicotine and Hallelujah."
"That's amazing! I'll be sure to check it out!" Brendon hugs me one last time before walking down the red carpet.
"Hey Cassy!" Scott and Mitch walk up to me, huge smiles on their faces.
"I just met the holy god of amazeballs." I tell my dads. They both raise an eyebrow (insert Scott has no eyebrows here) at my sentence.
"I talked to Brendon mofo Urie." Mitch nods smiling and they start to walk towards the carpet.
"You coming?" Scott asks once he realizes I'm not following. My eyes widen and I walk towards them. I stand by Mitch as we walk down the carpet. They stop for pictures and I awkwardly stand on the side, not getting into their shots.
"Hey, Cassaddee Grassi-Hoying!" I turn to the voice that called out my name and see Ellie Goulding smiling at me.
"Wanna get a picture with me, love?" FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK I look at two fifths of PTX and see them doing an interview so I smile at Ellie and walk over to her. (Idfk how a red carpet works)
"Love your outfit, hun." I blush at her compliment and take note of her dress. Holy fuck...
"I live for yours, Queen." Ellie laughs and we wrap our arms around each other's waist (IN A FRIENDLY WAY JEEZ) and the photographer take a couple pictures of us.
"Candy!" I look to see Logan coming up the carpet.
"There you are! Where have you been?" I ask once Ellie walks off.
"Sorry, security's a bitch. Let's go, shall we?" Logan offers me his hand and I gladly take it, entangling our fingers as we walk down the carpet.
"Can we get some questions from you guys?" An interviewer who I recognize from FOX News asks me and Logan. I look to my boyfriend and he nods so I smile widely.
"Sure."
"Megan Worthy from FOX News at the red carpet of the Grammy's. I am joined today by Cassaddee Grassi-Hoying, daughter of Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi of Pentatonix and..." Megan looks at Logan and he smiles kindly at her.
"Logan Carthovia, Cassaddee's boyfriend."
"So Cassaddee, what's it like living with Scott and Mitch?" No need to think about that.
"It's is absolutely amazing. They are such sweet fathers and I wouldn't want it any other way. The way Scott wakes me up and Mitch and I share our sass levels is so much fun and I could not ask for any better parents." Logan 'awws' and Megan smiles widely at me.
"How did you and Logan meet?"
"I was at a store, Aldis I think, buying some food for when I get cravings. It was a lot but it lasted me like 6 months. Anyways, Logan came up to me and was all like 'you got enough chocolate?' Then our friend Gabi had a bunch of Pentatonix plushies and threw them in Logan's cart and we bonded over that. So we pretty much became friends over our love for my dad's music."
"That is adorable." Megan asks Logan a few questions, but one sticks out.
"So Logan, what does Cassaddee look like to you in your eyes?"
"Candy is easily the most flawless gurl I have ever met. She is so sweet, caring, funny, smart, creative, legit everything I have ever wanted in a girl or guy. She's more flawless that Beyoncé in my eyes, and Beyoncé is QUEEN!!" I giggle at Logan and he qulives me a quick peck on my lips.
Megan asks us a few more questions before we set off once more and see Avi walking to us.
"Cassy! There you are! Where were you?" Avi says.
"Talking to Brendon Urie, getting abandoned by my dads, taking a few pictures with Ellie Goulding, and getting an interview for FOX News." Avi's eyes widen and he smiles at me.
"See? We told you everyone would want to get pictures and interviews with you." The two boys and I go find the rest of Pentatonix and sit in our seats, and just our luck, the girls, including Santina, are all there.
"SANTINA!!!" I hug her tightly and sit down between Mitch and Logan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, so Britney killed it during her performance (Thanks for me being deaf in my ear Logan) Ariana Grande did well, Bey made me die, and now the band left to go get ready for their performance. But oddly enough, Logan and the girls minus Santina went with them. My phone goes off with a text from Logan.
BritneyQueen💋: Come backstage, security will let you in
Okay then... I do as told and people immediately run over to me and pull me into a dressing room.
After being mauled by stylists and makeup and hair products, they hand me an outfit to slip on. I put it on and stare at my reflection.
I actually look good for once. I think to myself. A man comes in with a long trench coat and has me put it on. After slipping on some platform stilettos, I walk out and Esther leads me to a small compartment behind some curtains.
"Get in the box after you put this on." She hands me a bluetooth wireless mic headset and I give her a crazy look.
"Why?"
"You're performing, duh." SAY WHAT
"I was never told about this." Her eyes widen and she runs a hand through her hair.
"Scott and Mitch were supposed to tell you. I'll talk to them about it later. As for you, put the mic on and get in the box. You, Gabi, Jordyn, Maddie, and Logan will be performing a medley of songs. Small parts in the order of..." Esther checks the clipboard in her hand and sends me a small smile.
"Sing, Cracked, Water, Misbehavin', and Starships. Can ya manage that?" I nod and slip my headset on.
"Awesome. You will be singing the full songs, but each of you get a special solo in a song. Jordyn has Starships, Gabi has Cracked, Logan has Misbehavin', Maddie has Sing and you have Water." I get in the box and Esther shuts the door, but there's a small slot where I can breathe out of. Thank god.
I hear the announcer's peformance, announcing that Pentatonix got their second Grammy. YEET!! They then start to say there's a surprise for them and everything clicks. We're the surprise.
The box starts to spin and move and once it stops I hear the rest start to sing so I join in. I have established that I am Kirstie during this, Logan's Scott, Gabi is Mitch, Jordyn is Kevin and Maddie is Avi. Wow.
Everyone wears black skinny jeans unless shown in picture
Cassaddee
Logan
Maddie
Gabi
Jordyn (whole outfit shown in photo)
When it comes to Maddie's solo, she KILLS IT!!! Jordyn does her little rap for Kevin, but then Maddie steals it. We all just clap as the crew swirls us around in our boxes and Maddie sings the last bit of the song.
Sing, sing, sing, sing.
Sing it out as hard as you can. Make 'em hear you
From LA to Japan
Don't let 'em bring you down
This is how we do it now
Go and roll those windows down And sing, sing, sing, sing
Sing it with your hands in the sky Light it up like it's the 4th of July Don't let 'em bring ya down.
You know what I'm talking 'bout
A little bit louder now.
You know what I'm talking 'bout Sing a little bit louder now!
The crews rolls us to center stage back where we all get out of our boxes. After taking off our trench coats and striking a pose, Jordyn, Maddie, Logan and I get down on one knee and bend down as Gabi starts off the song, which is part of her solo.
I broke something I'll never get
I'll never get back
Brought me to my knees
A head like steel, and a soul of gold And a heart that's made of glass... But mine's cracked.
Let me tell you, I DID NOT KNOW ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS COULD RIFF LIKE THAT HOLY MOMMA SHE'S GOOD AT IT! Gabi even went higher than supposed to at the beginning of the riff thingy and HOLY SHIT I ALMOST FAINTED.
My part to Water comes up and I focus on the lyrics.
Take you higher, take you high
I can make you come alive
Open your eyes, change your mind
I'll take you higher, take you high
Needless to say, Logan was spinning me around at the end of the song.
Here comes Misbehavin' and of fucking course, during the solo Logan stares at me. Not that I mind though, I could stare into his eyes for a fucking eternity.
A million miles away
And I'm still thinking 'bout my baby
Ain't misbehavin', no
You don't need to worry
As Gabi and Maddie kept singing after the solo, LOGAN FUCKING KISSES ME ON THE FUCKING STAGE. I swear, it's like he wants to make me faint or something.
Finally, Starships. At Jordyn's solo, as in Mitch's rap, she fires it off like no tomorrow. With all the dancing that we do, I get really tired.
Let's go to the beach
Each let's go get away
They say what they gonna say
Have a drink, clink
Found the buzz lightyear
Hot bitches like me is
Hard to come by
The patron-on, let's go get it on
In the zone-one, yes I'm in the zone Is it two three? Leave a good tip I'mma blow all my money
And don't give two shi-
Once we near the end of Starships we see everyone with expressions that read 'it's nearing the end'. But to surprise EVERYONE, we all nod and break into different songs. The songs of our solos, to be exact.
Sing, sing, sing, sing. Sing it out as hard as you can. Make 'em hear you from LA to Japan, don't let 'em bring ya down. This is how we do it now, go and roll them windows down and sing, sing, sing, sing. Sing it with your hands in the sky. Light it up like it's the 4th of July, don't let 'em bring you down. You know what I'm talking 'bout, a little bit louder now.
You stole something I'll never get, I'll never get back. You left a hole in me. Your halo's gone, and all I see is horns and a heart that's still in tact... But mine's cracked. Mine's cracked. Mine's cracked. No idea where I'm going, but there's no turning back. I'm cracked.
I can't take this any longer. I need, I need you like water. It's on the tip of my tongue, I'm not asking for much. Just your love and not another. 'Cause your embrace keeps me warmer. Could I tell you this time? How I wish you were mine.
Oh, but I know that I can be wild sometimes. Oh, but I never lie 'cause I'm yours, you're mine. And I ain't misbehavin', no. I ain't misbehavin'- Told you I ain't misbehavin', no. I ain't misbehavin'- I've had way too many, but you're the only one on my mind.
Starships were meant to fly. Hands up, and touch the sky. Can't stop, 'cause we're so high. Let's do this one more time. Starships were meant to fly. Hands up, and touch the sky. Can't stop, we're higher than a motherfucker.
Best part, Jordyn Maddie and Gabi do front flips to the front of the stage and Logan and I run up behind them. At the end, we all go into the positions we started with (down on one knee, bent down looking at the floor) and they have Maddie pull a low note while Gabi hits a high note.
Smoke machines go off and I can't hear anything over the pounding of my heart.
"Cassaddee Grassi-Hoying, Gabi Maveen, Maddie Freesthon, Jordyn Fischbach, and Logan Carthovia are your surprises, Pentatonix!!" We all run in different directions, but I know I run up to my dads and engulf them in a hug, soon hugging the other three.
This is my family now. And... I never want to leave them.
Ever.
Did you guys like the performance? I worked like 2-3 hours on it :)
