Ron's POV:

Going on tour is one of the most exhausting things in the world. All do is go to a place, stay there for a bit, perform, stay for a little more, then leave. I don't get much sleep because I either hear my fans or I hear the click-click of never-ending cameras.

Don't get me wrong, I love my fans, but sometimes I just want to be alone outside of my house.

"Ron, it's go time," my manager, Dan, said.

I gave him a thumbs up and walked out onto the stage.

"Good evening, Kentucky!" I yelled to the crowd. They cheered me on, a very deafening sound.

"How's everybody doing?" I asked once they quieted down. The crowd cheered again.

"Yeah? Good, good. I have a new song that I'm going to sing for you guys tonight," I said. "It's called Live My Life Tonight."

I began singing my new song.

"I've got the world on my side," I sang. "I've got my friends standing right behind me. I got all I need, no supplies. I know myself and just who I want to be."

By the cheer of the crowd, I could tell that they liked the song. That's good, because this song I wrote that song myself. It told me that I could write a song.

"The whole world makes me alive. I feel really good inside. I'm awake, I've got pride. I'm gonna live my life tonight. Oooooooooooo, I'm gonna live my life tonight. Oooooooooooo, I'm gonna live my life tonight."

By the end of the song I felt really good. I love the feeling that I get when I finish a concert. When they cheer it makes me feel important, and all of my problems fall away. I feel like my whole life revolves around that moment. That's where the song came from, that feeling.

"Goodnight everybody!" I yelled. They still cheered even as I left.

"You did good," said Dan.

"Thanks, man," I said and hugged him.

"That was the song you wrote, right?" He asked.

"Yeah," I told him.

"Good, good. We should have you write your own songs more often."

"Yes, yes you should."

"But, we can't because that's not how we work. There's no writing your own music. We only let you off because your sister just died."

Ugh, he did not need to bring that up. I already knew why they let me write it. A few weeks ago my twelve-year-old sister died from cancer.

When we realized she was sick it was too late, her fate was sealed. There was nothing we could do about it but spend the last months we had with her. We wanted her to die happy. Me, my mom, my dad, and my older brother had so much fun with her that she had no time to be sad or scared. We didn't give her time to think at all, because we knew she would just think about death.

"I know why you let me sing my song. You don't have to tell me," I said to my manager.

"Ok, boy, just a reminder so you don't get used to this. C'mon, now, people have backstage passes. You have to go meet with them," Dan said.

"Ok," I replied.

Dan and I head backstage to go meet people. Obviously most of them were girls and there was a lot of screaming.

"Alright everyone, single file line and you'll get your change to see Ron," the security guard said in a deep voice.

The first person was a girl. I smiled at her. She was wearing a plain pink V-neck shirt and a pair of Levi jeans. She batted her eyes at me.

"Hi," she said. "I'm Carren."

"It's nice to meet you, Carren, but I really didn't need to know your name," I replied.

"Oh my gosh I love your songs! You are like, the best singer in the whole wide world!" Carren jumped up and down excitedly. "Will you sign my arm?" She asked.

"I don't sign body parts, but we can take a picture if you'd like," I suggested.

"Yeah, we can do that too."

***

The rest of the night went something like that. I got a few hugs, a lot of pictures, kissed a few girls on the cheek, kissed a few babies, and even got some numbers. I didn't want them, but I knew not to throw them away so someone could find it and stalk them. I just waited until we got back to the tour bus to rip them up and throw them away.

Today was my last day in Kentucky and tomorrow we'll be heading to Indiana for a couple of concerts. I'll be there for three to four weeks because my family lives there and I'm getting some time to spend with them.

Later, when we got back to the bus, I could barely keep my eyes open since I was so tired. I skipped the night shower and went straight to bed. The bus started moving and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.

----------------------------------

So there you go. I wasn't thinking about making a Ron's POV, but I thought it would be interesting.

The song Ron sang called "Live My Life Tonight" was actually a song I thought of myself. So even if you look it up on YouTube you're not going to find it. So if you want to know the tune, use your imagination and think of something because I'm not putting the actual thing on YouTube. Sorry.

Song is The Next Episode by Dr. Dre (San Holo remix).

Thanks for reading.
