"Please welcome to the stage for her debut performance as a solo artist, Y/n Brooks!" The announcer speaks. Rounds of applause occur throughout the stadium. The curtain rising as I bite my lip, the dancers stepping out in front of me. The music slowly starting up. My brain runs rapid as I slowly lift my head hearing the cue come from inside my ear. I lift up my hand and place the microphone close to my lips, my eyes looking out seeing all the celebrities, all the fans, all the people clapping and standing.

"Cold, laying on the floor
Long December nights are what I've been waitin' for
Pull my hand close to the fire
Shiverin', I'm shiverin', I can't stop
Give me the look, you know the one I want
I've been waiting for
It's so cold, it's so cold, yeah

I got chills when you walk
Chills when you talk
Chills everytime you say my name
It's the way that it feels when we touch
I can't get enough
Love got me frozen in place

Baby I got chills

Ooh, baby I got chills
Ooh, baby I got chills (Yeah)

Arms wrapped around my neck
You keep me warm
You are the spark igniting me again
Ooh, I can't get enough of you, I
Shiverin', I'm shiverin', I can't stop
Give me the look, you know the one I want
I've been waiting for (Ooh)
It's so cold, it's so cold, yeah," the music pans out as I stop what I'm doing. All the dancers march their way off the stage. Confusion settles in the crowd. I can see it. The lights dim, the whole place goes dark. A small smile trickles my lips as I rush over to where they bring out a piano. I sit down at it. The stage people swiftly running off. I take my mic and place it in the mic stand, adjusting it swiftly before letting my hands hover over the keys. I close my eyes and just let the music flow through me. I begin playing the keys, the music playing loudly as the lights slowly dim back on but a main light, brighter than the dim but not as bright as it could be appears on me as a backdrop of a moon appears to my left.

I start playing the keys and place my mouth towards the mic, beginning the song.

"Stay back, stay long and you move on
I stress, come close, move on, please don't

Hello, how are you? How you've been?
Lately I wonder how it feels to steal your kiss
Nothing much, just fine I'm doing well
and you can read between the lines but God, I fell

I only told the moon tonight up on the roof
I told her that I'm scared that all my thoughts they look like you
I only told the moon about the way you move
I asked her to please tell me if you tell things to her too." I stop playing the piano a moment. Silence taking over as I go on with the lyrics.

"Silence...Too loud..." I take a moment then begin playing the piano again.

"Say it, not now
