I awoke the next morning to the smell of coffee, I followed the scent to Sams kitchen, surely enough he was there brewing coffee, there were two cups, I supposed one was for me.
"Mornin'" he said with a smile
Music was playing from his iPhone, it was his, it sounded brilliant.
"It sounds amazing!"
"Thats just the background audio, just wait till I perform the whole thing for you tonight."
"Concert?"
"Sort of, its an art festival, I'm performing in the botanical garden."
"Sounds exciting, very colorful there. "
"I've heard,I'm just concerned for my allergies. Its going to thunder very bad all this week too, but that adds more mood to my music, thanks mother nature. "
We laughed and ate some waffles that Sam had made prior to me waking up. After that I noticed that it was 5:00 in the afternoon, I decided to get dressed and told Sam to get dressed also, I wanted to tour him around downtown Austin.
While we were cleaning and getting dressed Sam had informed me about his obsession with Beyonce. I was totally fine with it, he was a huge dork.
We played her infamous song '7/11' and danced around his apartment while dressing, we were both multitaskers, I later found out that he has terrible OCD. He color coordinated his clothing from neutrals to cools and his room is organized from top to bottom. With that we finished getting ready by 7:00(PM). We rushed to Sams car and drove into the center of downtown Austin, there were tons of teens and adults (probably parents of the teens) lined up and some even camped out. He drove around to the entrance of the backstage area and let me follow him. He introduced me to some people and we entered his dressing room.
"What should I wear?" he asked me
"Hmmm.." I said while I looked through the clothing rack searching for a outfit for Sam, I chose a green camouflage shirt and some gray pants with some brown loafers.
"There, your face looks fine, as always."
"Thanks." he said blushing as he kisses my head hugging me.
His manager called for him, he barged into the dressing room,
"Oh God, I'm sorry."
"Its okay. Everything ready?"
"Yeah, we just need you, Smith. May I ask who this is?" the man said with a smile and his left hand extended to shake mine.
"Sophia, sorry to bother you. " I said shaking his hand
"No, its alright honestly! Sam here never brings any friends, never seen him hang out with friends. I'm Jimmy Napes, producer and manager. Well shows on in 5 Sam, see you soon."
Jimmy left and Sam sat in his chair in the corner burying his face in his hands.
"Hey, what's wrong? "
He looked up with watery eyes and sighed.
"Im nervous, I'm hella nervous. Jesus Christ. "
"Hey, its gonna be fine, just focus on something you love, and dedicate the concert to who, or whatever, it is. You're going to be outstanding Sam. Outstanding."
"Sam!" I heard Jimmy call, I followed Sam to the curtain and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek,
"Go get 'em tiger."
And with that, he left to perform for someone he loves.

"How are we Austin?!" Sam yelled to the crowd, in reply came a roar of screams.
"Well a great friend of mine said 'perform as if you are performing for something you love', this one's for you Sophia. I've latched onto you."
