The adrenaline of the thought of you about to perform again for the first time in a while began to hit, butterflies fluttered in your stomach and your heart was beating so fast your feet could lift off of the ground. The others were as nervous as you, and you were about enter the stage shortly. You could feel the excitement and energy from backstage coming from the audience, the cheers and screams filled your ears.
You felt so much pressure and excitement, you felt fear but eagerness. You knew you were going to get stage fright, but just had to push through it no matter what. You wanted everything to go perfect and just get it over with, you didn't wanna disappoint anymore people as you've disappointed the people around you more than enough already.
"Okay, everyone come here." Ramona called, as you all placed your arms over eachothers shoulders and formed a circle.
"Listen, I'm probably more nervous than you are. It's been a very long time since we last went on stage together, and this crowd is alot bigger than the other one, we've gained popularity overtime and people are going to complain and find anything negative to say about us no matter what. So if we go back to our rooms tonight and look online to see people being rude, just know that people are always going to be that way, no matter how hard you try to reach being perfect. I think that all of us are so talented and deserve so much support for the great things we're able to do. I love all of you and I'm so glad I'm in a band with each one of you. I'd rather be performing with you guys tonight than anyone else. I'm so happy to be here tonight, and you guys should be too. Be proud of yourselves for how far you have reached and pushed through despite everything that's happened." everyone knew that last sentence was directed to you.
"Sorry to interrupt, you guys are about to go on stage so please be ready." a man called, you all spun around and the adrenaline inside of you was triggered again. You and Ramona were handed microphones. You stood in the wing of the stage, Jonah peeked out his head to see the crowd and his eyes immediately widened which was either a good or bad sign. "I don't think I've ever seen that many people in my life." Jonah nervously laughed. You gulped, your hand trembling as you gripped onto the handle of the mic. You adjusted your ear piece, playing with nervously.
Travis was directed to enter onto the stage first, as he sat behind his drum set in the dark so he wouldn't be revealed yet to the crowd. You were told that you were going to begin with your song All I Wanted, as it was released as the first song in the album's order.
"Okay all of you, you're on in 3... 2... 1!"
The lines brightened and glared against Travis, as you all entered onto the stage and the music began to play. You stepped foot and the cheers of the crowd grew even more louder you could barely hear the music. Ramona and you stood front and center, as you gripped onto your microphone and placed it onto the stand, adjusting it to your height.
"Think of me when you're out, when you're out there..." you sang into the microphone, your voice was so shaky it was embarrassing but you had to push through it. "I'll beg you nice from my knees..." you looked around at the amount of people, the flashes, the screaming, the heaps of different faces you couldn't even recognise. You were so overwhelmed and frightened.
"And when the world treats you way too fairly... Well, it's a shame I'm a dream." Ramona sang, her voice was alot more stable and clearer than yours because you were more nervous.
"All I wanted was youuu, all I wanted was youuuu..."
Jonah's fingers played the strings of the guitar loudly, as his head moved to the rythm and bass. Abel focused on the way his fingertips moved against the strings of his guitar, Travis's drumsticks beating against the drums as he pressed his lips together and furrowed his eyebrows.
"I think I'll pace my apartment a few times, and fall asleep on the couch... And wake up early to black and white reruns." Ramona sang, her breathing hitting against the mic. "That escape from my mouth... Oh, oh." she added.
"ALL I WANTED WAS YOUUU!" you yelled, the crowd singing loudly along with you which made you smile so much your teeth were showing. You glanced over at Ramona who was holding her microphone towards the crowd, allowing them to sing. "ALL I WANTED WAS YOUUUU!" you shook your head as you sang, your voice's volume increasing as it hit the higher notes.
"ALL I WANTED WAS YOUUUUU!" the crowd repeated, as Ramona mouthed the words and smiled at how supportive the audience was, which made you all feel less nervous. "I could follow you to the beginninggg" you sang, grinning and looking around at the people who sang so loudly you could barely hear your own thoughts, and you loved it. "Just to relive the startttt..." you closed your eyes and raised your shoulders.
"And maybe then we'd remember to slow downnnn.." Ramona sang quietly underneath your voice. "At all of our favourite parts..." you glanced over at Ramona, who was smiling as brightly and big as you. And then your heart dropped when you remembered that the highest and longest note of the song was about to arrive.
You took a deep breathe, as the instruments paused. You grabbed the microphone off of the stand, walking closer towards the crowd.
Please dear voice, don't crack now.
"ALL I WANTED WAS YOUUUUUUUUU!" you yelled, leaning forward as the pitch and volume of your voice increased, dragging the note. The audience assisted you in singing along. "ALL I WANTED WAS YOUUUU!" you leaned back, Ramona and you repeating the lines together and the crowd went crazy with how loudly they were singing. Your hair shook with your head as it moved to the beats and rythm of the song.
And once the song ended, you walked over to Ramona and impulsively pulled her in for a hug. She was confused for a moment before she hugged you too. You pulled away, smiling brightly at the crowd who never stopped cheering, even after the song ended. Your mouth closed, hiding your teeth but you were still smiling. You raised your hands in the air, waving at everyone.
You looked left to right, scanning the crowd as the realisation hit of how loved you were, how much you were going to miss all of this. You took a deep breathe, as your chest raised up then back down when you exhaled.
"HELLO LAS VEGAS!" Ramona yelled, holding her hand up in the air and everyone began screaming again.
You glanced behind you to see the rest of the boys smiling.
"Okay guys good job, that went very well. Next song is All Around me."
Someone spoke through the ear piece speaker, as you adjusted it and the lights on stage went dim, as if you all disappeared.
You looked around the dark area, and then recognised a face in the crowd. Your smile dropped, and although everyone never stopped cheering, it was as if the world went quiet
