Change My Mind | Gracie X Olivia

backstage Bardot (09)

A/n: I've had this draft literally the entire story

"So gracie to celebrate the start of the sour tour I was thinking after our first show we could go to this party my friend Blake is hosting," Olivia stated, handing me a piece of paper with the info for the party "but yknow only I'd you have the stamina for it after the start of the show" She teased looking me up and down.

"I think I'll get by," I responded, rolling my eyes at her. As much as i tried to play it cool, the truth was I was completely and utterly extatic that she would think to invite me to a party with people she knows. the chances are that I would meet some famous other people, which didn't help me to calm down at the situation, but a party with her friends like not as a joke.

Before going out to open the long awaited sour tour, my mind began to race between the endless possibilities of things she could do wrong before a delicate hand approached her back resting there for a moment before it revealed its owner to be none other then miss olivia rodrigo.

"You ok? You seem kinda stressed, " She asked visually, concerned. Her hand still rested on my lower back, sending tingles up my spine from the delicate touch. At that moment, I felt as though I'd crumbled into tiny grains of sand falling between her fingers. Completely dazed by her.

"Yeah, I'm just kinda nervous about going onto stage. What if I fuck up the start of your tour?" I said in a panicked breath, though her hand placement didn't help.

"Its ok im here and I'm not gonna leave until you go onstagewnd kill it" consoled liv reaching for gracie's hand " to me you're perfect and you wouldn't be on this tour with me if you weren't so your either going to spend the rest of your life regretting not going onto that stage today or love performing tonight and give the crowd what they want"

And with that, gracie was walking on-stage with a calm smile and a warm heart. Her tour mate was supposed to get ready, but there she stood backstage staring in awe at the Bardot reincarnate, putting her heart and soul into the masterpiece of poetry that she had written. the audience loving the girls' musical talent and way with words as well as Olivia backstage, who had been a long-time fan of gracie's music, her work even inspiring her biggest hit drivers licence.

She was right they loved her.

Olivia's jaw was almost on the floor with her fellow songwriters' stage presence. She was uplifting and energetic exactly what a good singer should be on stage. Gracie glanced over sidestage to Olivia, who immediately looked away nervously, making the singer chuckle mid-song.

The moment gracie stepped off the stage, she approached Olivia with a prepared witty comment almost exploding out of her mouth. "You like that?" teased Gracie

"oh Fuck off" replied Olivia cheeks gone scarlet with her fellow singers raspy voice after singing."But genuinely, thank you for calming my nerves, I definitely couldn't have gone on that stage without you." Gracie stated, pulling the singer into a warm-hearted hug paired with calmed smiles appearing on both the artists faces enjoying one another's embrace before Olivia watched gracie exit into the crowd to watch liv perform her set from the vip box.

Gracie now stood in the middle of the audience, immersed in the thrill of her and Olivia's performance that warm spring night. That day was a euphoric and triumphant start to her journey, which had only just begun, and God would another happen that fateful day.

Olivia was on stage feeling the love of her crowds cheers, singing and laughter while performing her songs. They loved her just like they had loved gracie moments before.
