Last night was the first night that I slept alone and got enough sleep to feel energized. Though that energy is only gonna carry me to the moment I leave stage in about 12 hours. We got up early and made our way to the company to meet Alana. For four hours , we went over the set list. Two hours went to strictly mic testing and tech work making sure our instruments were good to go. Three more hours flew by with us running around and having lunch and intermission in between.

The last three hours came faster than the first eight went. Makeup artists and stylists came in to help get us ready two hours before we were scheduled to go on. From outside our families were texting us to let us know when they arrived and where they were standing. The show had started so we stayed in the back to watch the other performers because we're not on until seven.

"Jake don't go. We don't have time"

"Either someone gets her here or I'm going out there." I demand.

"Brother come on man. You'll see her as soon as you walk out there" Chris reasons.

"I have the mic right here. If the music starts Dunner can play it's not gonna take long"I grab my in-ear and phone, looking out the door to check who's around.

"Is he really about to go ?"

"Who's gonna stop him ?"

"Exactly. Cover for me" I tell the guys before running outside.

I ran outside and found a ramp that would lead me to the gate by the crowd. I looked desperately for three minutes to find my girl. I finally found her in the mid section with all of our families and Dej. I hopped over the rail and ran into the open area in between the crowd and stage. There was someone playing behind me but I needed to see her.

"LOVE!!!!" I wave my arms to get her attention.

She looks around before noticing who and where I was. "Jake !? What the hell are you doing out here !?" She squeezed her way up to me and only then did I see Maddie on her back.

"I came to see you"

"You need to get back there you have like six minutes" She urges.

"I know, I know and I'm going."

"Hey Jake"

"Hey Mads" I lean forward to kiss both of their foreheads as well as Mani's lips.

"You gotta go" She says, kissing my cheek. "Good luck."

"Thanks baby see ya Maddie!" I wave, running back to meet up with the guys.

They stood just outside the stage, getting their earpieces put in and wires attached to them. The second my presence was known, staff members wasted no time starting with me.

"Yo, good ?" Danny asks with a thumbs up.

"All good brother" I nod.

In no time the group had left the stage and our equipment was being setup.

"This is it. We're either about to kill it...or make a fool of ourselves."
