It's been three months since Nova Garcia lost her parents and twin brother in a car crash and had to move in with her grandma. Not only two months past after their deaths, and her grandmother falls ill with cancer, forcing her to live in the hospita...
*DISCLAIMER THIS CHAPTER USES THE SONG "In the end" by Linkin Park*
Throwing open the doors to the backstage entrance, I pushed my way through to the stage after handing my flower to Julie, ready to finally perform to my full potential.
"Welcome to live at the Orpheum. Now give it up for Nova Garcia."
The announcer presented me as I walked onto the stage, everyone clapping and whistling for me. My chest falling up and down at a rapid pace since my nerves were sky rocketing. I grabbed my guitar that they left for me on a stand, the only thing beside Nate's necklace, that makes me feel close to him. It's like he's here soaking our success in with me. This time, I decided to sing a song that Nate wrote and is on the track rapping as I sung. People deserve to know that he was someone of great talent, and that shouldn't just be lost and forgotten now that he has passed on to another life.
I stood behind the microphone and glanced back at the live band the Orpheum set me up with. I gave a little nod to the guy playing the piano, telling him to start and as he did, the stage crew started the smoke machine. When the music started, it's like this different side of me was clawing to get out. A side of me where I ooze confidence, elegance, poise, and dominance.
NOVA It starts with onee
NATE One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time
NOVA AND NATE All I know
NATE Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clocks ticks life away
NOVA AND NATE It's so unreal
NATE Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on, but didn't even know Wasted it all
NOVA AND NATE Just to watch you go
NATE I kept everything inside and even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me Will eventually be a memory of a time
I swung my guitar around my body, fingers playing as I jumped up just as the beat dropped and fire spews up behind me as I sung my part. My hair was a mess as the stage crew had a fan hitting me directly in front, causing my hair to flow to cause a bigger effect with the fire and smoke around me. Everyone in the room gasps and shouts as they all got into the song.
