Summer Bucketlist

Skinny Dipping

Chapter 22

"This is my last song for the night and this is dedicated to someone dear to my heart." I said, tearing up a little.

The audience screamed wildly and I shot them a smile.

"Sing along if you know the words."

I started strumming my guitar. The audience fell into a hush. They raised their glowsticks and started swaying to the soft melody.

All I want is nothing more

To hear you knocking at my door

Cause if I could see your face once more

I could die a happy girl, I'm sure

Or maybe, live again.

When you said your last goodbye

You didn't even say goodbye.

I died a little bit inside

I lay in tears in bed all night

Every damn night, Shane.

alone without you by my side

I miss you.

But if you loved me, why d'ya leave me?

Why?

Take my body, take my body

All I want is

and all I need is

to find somebody

and that somebody is you

I'll find somebody

Sadness surged inside of me and tears threatened to fall. I tried to hold it in for the sake of my audience.

I looked down to hide my face from the spotlight and continued the song.

"Well." I said over the mic, sniffing a little as I finished the song.

"That's all for tonight. Thank you so much for being here! I love you all so much!!!! Goodnight!"

The crowd cheered as I waved goodbye. I shot them a smile, or atleast I tried to and exited backstage.

"Good job out there." Kate praised as she  handed me a bottle of water.

"Puhlease, I was amazing." I joked.

Kate rolled her eyes at me. "You were okay."

"Whatever." I muttered.

She laughed. "Private jet's here, Diva."

I linked my arm on hers and she conplained that I was sweaty.

"And I'm the diva?" I said pointedly.

She gave me a sheepish smile. "Riley's piloting the plane." she informed me proudly.

I faked a gasp and shot her a horrified look. "Are we gonna die?"

She glared at me and I stared back at her innocently as she answered no.

"You cant leave me!!!!! You're the best thing that fucking happened to me!" I said, clutching his shirt tightly, not wanting to let go.

"Khaela, how could i be possibly the best thing thats ever happened to you when you havent even experience the good and the better?" he said in a calm tone, gently prying my hand off his shirt.
