My nerves were sky rocketing. I could feel myself shaking before Chris handed me a microphone.
"You will be alright." He soothes, rubbing my back.
I inhale along with my shaky breathing.
"Good morning to all students, teachers and guests! Here is the band, Grenade, performing their brand new song. We will be the very first audience to listen to their new song." Mr. Bakes says.
New song? I thought I was just singing a cover?
I turn to Chris. "Am I singing a new song?" My fingers are shaking even more.
He nods, but holds my shaking hand. "The lyrics are on the stand which will be in front of you."
"I don't know how the song will flow." I say breathlessly.
"Go with the music." Chris coos.
I walk on stage and everyone claps. I stand in front of the microphone and I watch as all eyes fall on me. My hands are shaking and I can feel a drip of sweat sliding down my forehead.
I shut my eyes and turn around, and immediately run out of the school hall. I hear Mr. Bakes apologizing to the school learners as I open the door.
I inhale a sharp breath and my head is spinning.
"Gaby!" I hear Chris's voice.
I don't speak. I try to focus on my breathing, but my head is spinning like a spinning wheel, waiting to see which option I will have as a prize.
I feel arms snaking around my body. "Listen to me..." his lips are touching my neck, "You can do this. You can sing. I have heard you. Your voice is beautiful." Chris kisses my neck softly.
My body immediately relaxes and I can breathe better.
"That was unexpected." I find my voice to speak.
"What was?" Chris asks.
I remove his arms and turn to look at him. "The song. I don't know the tune or how the song flows. You put me in the spotlight – literally." I try to inhale slowly.
"I can't...I can't do this." I mumble.
"Yes you can." Chris confidently says.
I look at him. "No I cannot."
"Yes you can." Chris smiles.
I am about to speak, but Chris kisses me quickly before another word is spoken out of my mouth.
"You can do this. Just go with the flow."
I slowly nod.
"GABY!" I hear someone shout. Morgen?
I see my sister approaching Chris and I.
