Chasing Dreams(H.S)

Prologue

Okay Amanda...its okay.Calm down...Take it easy...Breathe!.Come on..in and out...good!... Repeat that!...In and out...In and out...In and-

"And now please welcome the phenomenal,absolutely stunning,drop-dead gorgeous,talented 'Amanda Woods' on the stage! TAKE IT AWAY WOODS! WOHOO!"

As soon as those words hit me,i became a bundle of nerves.All that i had been preparing for the past few weeks went down the drain.Nervousness took over every cell in my body and suddenly everything felt unreal.It felt as if i was not really footsteps away from living my dream.Like the thousands of people out there waiting for me were not really there.Suddenly i felt unsure about myself.
The announcer cleared his throat and his voice made my heart skip a beat.

"Umm Ms Amanda,we request the pleasure of your company over here"

I couldn't think straight but then I reminded myself that the thing i've been fighting for  for so long is right in front of my eyes.It was definitely worth it.Whatever i did to get here was absolutely worth it!.The person because of whom i was even here was the part of this crowd and I couldn't let him down at any cost.I wanted to make him proud so with him on my mind,i pushed all my insecurities aside and slowly made my way on to the stage.With this throbbing mass of people, i could still feel my heart beating against my chest with every footstep that i took.I could feel the trepidation as I nervously fidgeted with my fingers.I could feel all the weight on me as i curled my toes in my shoes.I could feel my anxiety as i chewed on my bottom lip and kept my gaze on the floor.I could feel the uncertainty as my pulse quickened and my heart plummeted wildly against my ribs.
I slowly lifted my gaze from the floor and the scene in front of my eyes made my jaw drop.Thousands of people were insanely applauding for me, shouting my name on top of their lungs, carrying signs, appraising for me.

Relief flooded through me.The sight in front of me made my heart melt and my smile grew bigger.I felt loved.These people who are maniacally jumping up and down, asking for me to sing, telling me that they love me and support me.These people mean so much to me.They complete me.They are my supporters.They are my lovers.They are my crazy freaks.They are intensively beautiful.They are home.They are fans.

'My fans'

I held the microphone tightly in my sweaty palms as moisture collected in the corner of my eyes.
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here.That one person I despised the most made me live my dream.
I was literally on cloud nine.My mouth felt parched and couldn't form any words.A tear rolled down my cheek as i mumbled a quiet 'thank you'; my voice coming out much shakier and smaller.
Satisfaction ran through me as i finally realised that i made it!.

Today my dream is evolving and it is pretty much alive.Has it been easy? No.Has it been rewarding? Yes.Will someday i realise my dream? Definitely.
