The opening act kills the stage and I start dancing with Adam, swinging my hips and making sure to make plenty of eye contact with Hunter.
After a couple songs, someone comes to get Hunter and tell him that he has to get ready for the show.
He nods and says goodbye to me and shakes Adam's hand, telling him that it was nice to meet him.
He then grabs Alexis's hand but she tells him that she has to go and he shrugs his shoulders and turns towards the back stage.
"I know what you're doing Bear and it's not going to work." My hand clutches Adam's as she starts to walk towards me, he finger pointing at me. "He loves me and you lost your chance with him. If you think that he's going to get jealous, you're wrong."
And with that she leaves.
"What was that all about?" Adam asks, letting go of my hand.
I shake my head.
It would take such a long time to explain it to him.
"Alright. The act that you've all been waiting for! HUNTER AND THE AFFLICTIONS!"
The crowd goes wild as the lights go out and the band grabs all their equipment.
I can see Hunter grab a guitar and stand by the mic.
"Hey guys. Thanks for coming. Listen, I've been working on a new song and I've been stuck in the middle and just tonight I finished it. So the band and I are going to try it out for you and see if you like it. Alright guys. Hit it!"
They all look at each other and Hunter grasps the mic like it's his life source.
"Who would've though I'd be here by myself? Who would've thought that you'd be bad for my health. Now I know, I know I'm just a man on a wire."
His voice coos everyone to a calm state and someone lifts a lighter in the sky, swinging it back and forth.
After a couple seconds, everyone follows.
"No I can't look down on tryna fight the feeling I will fall to the ground if I ever see you. Cause I feel like I'm waking on tightrope my heart is in my throat I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you."
My eyes fill with tears and my knees start to buckle.
Adam catches me and I let out a sob.
It can't be.
Hunter hops off the stage and starts to walk towards me and Adam.
I can see the tears in his eyes.
"Who would've thought I'd see you with someone else? Who would've thought I'd be in such a mess. Now you know, now you know I'm just a man in a wire."
He reaches me and touches my cheek, going down on both knees like he's begging.
I cover my mouth and cry.
I can feel Adam's hands around me.
Supporting me.
"But I walk that line. I'm tryna keep my senses make it to the other side. I know the consequences and I feel like I'm walking on tightrope. "
He stands up and grabs my hand, pulling me away from Adam and spinning me around.
"I'm counting on high hopes to get me over you."
He lets go and goes back to the stage.
I'm frozen.
I can't feel anything.
