After-show Nerves

Author Notes: Hello everyone, I hope you don't mind how late this chapter is. Things came up in my life that made it difficult to write; Job, remodeling, my sister visiting with the boys.........a family crisis.......but I'm back with a new chapter (with one still in progress) and I'm sorry for my lateness. ^w^

(During that time of craziness I had a hard time watching, reading, or enjoying anything really. This chapter probably would've came out lot later cause of it but Xiiumie being the awesome person she is got me out of that state. Thank you my H2OVanoss Sista! ^w^)

So here's the (overdue) chapter 6! :D

_____________________________

There are moments in our life where we believe right now was to be our worst but you're still young and the world can be a bitch if it really wanted to be in the future. Lot of times we both accept what has happened or we hide from it and wished whatever did accord would erase itself from the time path, thrown away easily like crumbling up paper so no one can remember, gone from their minds forever. But there will be a time where your whole system will stop completely and your mind switches off to emptiness, lost in that state where you don't know what to do. The feeling of emotions are gone, replaced with that gut twisting pain in the stomach where you should be the most hysterical but instead can't help but stare straight into the eye of the storm. Your mouth opened mumbling out inaudible sounds that make you appear like a fish out of water.

The crowd was loud, almost like a pack of lions roaring into the ember lite night. They all enjoyed the show hungrily begging for more. They cried out the name, 'Delirious' as if he should be there in his place, but instead they grabbed the wrong one; like his day wasn't going bad enough as it is.

The fire dancers encouraged more of the applause, hinting to their little friend to join them but Evan stood frozen in the back. His fingers tight around the metal rod and his eyes widen like dinner plates while he stared out into the cheering audience with disbelief. With his form growing smaller, almost like he wanted to sneak behind the fire staff and disappear into the darkness. But you can't disappear, Evan, it already happened and so many eyes viewed what had been done. You were the star of the night!

Just that thought alone made his body flinch.

Someone grabbed his bare shoulder catching Evan off guard, his head whipping to the side at the older announcer; his mouth holding a toothy grin as he spoke into the microphone with a booming voice,

"For just being a mainlander kid, you sure know how to dance with fire. I should bring you to my son's next luau." The crowd whistled and clapped, cheering for more of the young star but the old man looked away from the audience and instead to the trembling body under his rough hand.

The shock was still in Evan's system, pulsing more fear and panic into his veins. So many people watched! So many eyes watching him, judging him, remembering his face so they can point and laugh at the famous YouTuber who got played around on stage by two huge men with big scary fire sticks! His mind wouldn't stop shouting out his deep fears of being on stage; coming out like tidal waves crashing at him in pains of humiliation. His fear from stage fright was finally getting to him and terrorizing him so bad he couldn't hear the applause over his own shame. He wanted out; he didn't want to be there anymore.

In the mist of the chaos he heard the older man chuckle deep as he gripped his small shoulder lightly getting Evan's mind to silent, he was thankful he did. Without the mic this time the man spoke in a caring voice just for Evan to hear, "Mahalo my braddah for putting up with my young nephews. They tend to tease anyone that they bring up here; you're not the first or the last I'm afraid."
