After last nights scene I couldn't sleep well. BlurryFace's words just kept playing in my brain 24/7. I couldn't even focus when me and Josh, my best friend, were trying to practice the songs we were going to preform for the gig we had that night.
"Tyler. Wake up." He patted my leg and I came out of my thoughts. Keeping them in the back of my head just in case I became bored again. "What's wrong, Tyler? You've been acting pretty weird for some while."
"I'm alright. I just have things going on that I'm thinking about."
"Like what?"
"I'm sort of nervous for this performance. I've started get nervous more often. I've gotten nervous walking, talking, and singing in front of people!" I began rubbing my temples. I was kind of getting stressed out about this person- or thing- BlurryFace. I don't even know why.
"Tyler, I know this is our first gig but it's gonna be alright. Just pretend it's you and me practicing like we always do. It'll be fine."
I sighed and got up, "Fine but if I throw up on the stage you're gonna have to it clean up."
We both chuckled and left to go get some food from the kitchen. Tonight I have to remember Josh's words. It'll be okay. It will.
Later that day at the club..
My hands were trembling and beads of sweat started forming on my face. I hadn't been so nervous in my life before. I decided to go the bathroom and get myself together.
I looked into the mirror and began to talk to myself, "You've got this, Tyler. It's okay. You can do this." I turned on the cold water at the faucet and splashed some so of it onto my face. Once I had dried my face then my hands I noticed that my fingers had blotches of black on them. I hadn't written on my fingers earlier today. I tried to wash them off but it just wouldn't go away so I decided to just forget about it and go back out the bath room.
As soon as I came out Josh came running to me. "Tyler we have a minute till we're on. Come on!"
"We do?!" I was in shock. My heart started pounding again. I wasn't ready. What if I mess up? They'll probably think we suck! I'll mess everything up!
"Yes! Don't start with the question and come on!"
We got onto the stage where people were waiting for the next performance. Josh got to his drums and I got my keyboard. My head started pounding again. Why have I been getting all these headaches? Everything started getting fuzzy and when Josh started playing his part it made my head throb harder. I shook my head but that just made the head ache worst. I started seeing white blotches and the room seemed to be getting hotter. Everyone was staring at me like I was an alien from Venus. Images of BlurryFace came to my mind.
It kept whispering words to me, "You'll never make it. You'll never become big. You're too much of a wuss."
I had the thought of running of the stage but before I could I fell to the ground. The last thing I could see and hear was the crowd gasping and BlurryFace in the crowd looking toward my way and then everything went black.
