I stood up on the stage. I was terrified. I was scared my guitar would break from how tightly I was holding onto it. I felt like I was going to throw up. My name was called and it was too late now. I had to perform. I walked out onto the stage and took my spot in front of the mic. I sat down and looked over the crowd. I saw him and took a deep breath. He nodded at me once and i nodded back. Billie was sitting front row, staring right at me. I took another deep breath.

"Ok. Here goes nothing." I whispered to myself. "Hi everyone. I'm (y/n) and I'm gonna play "Imagine" by John Lennon." () I started to strum and counted off in my head. I got lost in the music and the words. I looked up at one point and I saw Billie with tears in his eyes and a small smile on his face. i smiled as I continued to sing. When I reached the end of the song, I stood up and took a bow to a stand ovation led by Billie. I nodded off stage to him and he nodded back. I quickly made my way to the back where they had a dressing room set up for the acts. I was the last of the night so it was pretty empty. Billie made his way into the room and ran over to me. He picked me up and spun me around. I laughed as Billie placed kisses all over my face. He put me down and gave a real kiss.

"You were amazing tonight sweetheart. You were terrific." He said excitedly. Billie pulled a bouquet of roses from behind his back and handed them to me. "For the love of my life and my inspiration." I awed and hugged Billie tightly.

"Thank you so much Billie!" I exclaimed. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." Billie said as he kissed me again.
