Love in the Spotlight

Ch.1: Henry

"You need me man I don't need you" Cheers went out as I sang the last line of the song. I looked around the stadium where I was performing tonight. 70,000 person is here tonight to watch me play and sing, to watch me do the thing I love since the fine age of five years old. "Thank you, everyone" I started as the cheers died down slowly. "This night has been fun thanks to you all. But sadly it has come to an end. Thank you all for joining us tonight. Thanks to everyone who worked with us on this tour who built this amazing stage, and got everything to work as smoothly as it had been those last few days. The backup singers the dancers and of course the band. Give them another cheer would ya" The crowd went off again as I finished talking. Looking at them all I couldn't help but think I did it. I did what I have been dreaming about for nearly my whole life.

as the cheers went down I continued talking. "now as you all know this is the last day here at Dallace so thank you to all of you who joined us on all the five days we have had and I can't wait to see you all next time." as the stage went down I could still hear the cheers going.

"Ay Henry another successful night," he said his thick Scottish accent visible. "Yeah yeah uh Gobber can I ask you something," I asked hesitantly to actually say it out loud. "of course lad, you can ask me anything you want" he replied with a reassuring smile. "well you remember Jack right? Jack Forest. well I was thinking of going to spend a week with him in Chicago before my next concert in las vegas. do you think this might work?" I say looking around the place but at him. "well I think it would work I mean the next concert is in two weeks a week is not a problem. but" he said looking at me worriedly toward the end "Do you might tell me why?" he asked sitting in front of me. "I just feel a little bit overwhelmed and need a little break to feel normal again," I answered honestly looking at him.when I was ten my father surprised my mother with a trip to a romantic resort a little getaway for the both of them to have fun. my mother was worried about leaving me. but I insisted on the both of them going, they left me with Gobber and were supposed to come back a week later. on their way back the plane crashed and there were no survivors. That day I lost my parents, and since then Gobber basically adopted me and I was grateful for him. he is like my second father and is always here for me. since then I have been hanging with him at the studio. and the age of 15, he encouraged me to sing to the world and help me be where I am today."oh hiccup you have been overworking yourself lately for that album coming up you need to let it go sometimes" he started. calling me by the nickname he and my parent had been calling me since I was a kid. "take the week off and after this tour is finished I will try to give you more time off to rest now and I will book the ticket for you." he said smiling. "thanks Gobber one more thing I don't want the media knowing anything about where I will be going okay" I requested. "of course lad" he said smiling. with that, he left me to go check on everything. As I left the stadium I got a call from my sister Hannah. "hey there music boy how are you doing." was the first thing I heard as I answered the phone.

Hannah is my younger sister she was 6 when our parents died in the plane crash. she was young to understand what happened at that time but nonetheless, she knew that our parents were no longer alive. gobber had adopted us after our parents. both of them are my rock in this world and I could never imagine how my life would be if both or one of them is not here. "I'm doing good. I see you are putting all your electronics on the charger," I said as I started to walk to the hotel.

that is one of my favorite thing to do. go on little walks every now and then. it's good exercise and helps me get away from the famous life I have been living which is good for my mental health if you ask me. "I'm going on a road trip with my friends. they saw this beach that is nearby and decided to spend the whole day there." she said as she returned to her packing. "and you are bringing them because?" I asked. "I'm not planning on going into the water so while they go enjoy it I will be working on my book that's why I'm charging the iPad and the headphones for idiot," she said as she adjusted her mac book. "now enough about me how was the concert." she asked giving me her full attention. "yeah it went good another success for your brother." I said as lightheartedly as I could. "henry haddock I'm not your friend or some random person you know I'm your sister so if you are not gonna tell me the truth consider yourself gone from the acknowledgment in the book." she threatened me which is kinda funny. "and who will be then huh some boy who is gonna replace me." I joked as I reached the hotel. "no I will put Jack instead." she said as she closed her bag. "funny really." I said unimpressed. "now truthfully nothing is wrong the concert went amazing I just don't know I feel like something is missing. like all I'm doing has no meaning." I said. "hiccup nothing you are doing is meaningless you do this because you love it. you are just stuck which, to be honest, I expected" she said.

"What is that supposed to mean." I asked as I entered my room. "you have been writing and making romance songs for how long and you have been single forever you need some romance in your life Mr. Haddock" she said which might be true. I have been single since high school which is a long time ago considering I'm 25 years old. "so you a romance author could write romance stories while being single but I a singer can't be single and sing romance songs." I said. cause for love's sake make what she said make sense.

"most songs have feelings you tell a moment you could sing it while being single but you can't feel the lyrics. while I live their lives and create a whole world for them where their love story could be born" she said. "you need to feel something. maybe a one-night stand but that would be no good so take a break till your next concert" She made sense. I can't feel what I'm singing anymore it's like I'm stuck. "I'm going to Chicago tonight going to visit Jack and take a break you know." I said. "now that is a good choice you are making" I could practically hear the proudness in her voice. "I'm gonna see you in Vegas ok," she said as I heard voices on her end.

hannah is college student in her third year. and no one except a selective few knows we are siblings cause I don't want her to feel pressured. do I talk about her a lot? yes. "ok see you later love ya," I said. "I love you too" With that she hang up. I looked around the room and stopped on the bed. a nap sounds lovely right now.
