Caitlyn's POV

We took our seats and waited till Jonah stepped on stage and after that the rest of the night was a crazy blur. Before I knew it, Jonah was about to finish the show off with a live performance. He stepped on stage dressed casually with an vintage guitar in his hand. This was something totally unlike his usual mainstream music and apparel. Everyone in the crowd seemed intrigued. I watched as he fixed his headset mic and opened his mouth to speak. He paused and seemed to be listening to the producers in his ear piece. The room was quiet as they waited for the performance. 

Jonah seemed distressed as he finally spoke into the mic. 

"I'm sorry everyone, we seem to be having sound difficulties." he spoke with a monotone voice.

"Please enjoy this video about all of our supporters for tonight's foundations."

A video played on the large screens as Jonah stomped off stage. Minutes later, he stepped back on stage dressed in a flashy stage outfit without the guitar. He seemed to be giving off a vibe off both anger and disappointment. His music cued in and he danced and sang a popular hit, ending the show with a bang. 

Savannah and I picked up headed to the backstage area to meet up with Jonah, Jake, and Justin. 

We were so amazed to all the A-list celebrities as we passed through the crowd. Savannah kept trying to stop me to take pictures with people, but I just wasn't having it. I was focused on finding Creed brothers. 

We finally reached the backstage area where the crew and a few famous faces were congratulating Jonah on his first big hosting job. He was sweaty with his shirt off hugging people and smiling. He finally entered his dressing room alone and the crowd dispersed. Savannah and I approached the door and I knocked, but there was no answer. 

"Just open the door!" Savannah pushes past me and opens the door in one swift move.

"Savannah!' I call out, but i'm too late as A shirtless Jonah is standing in the middle of the room.

I stand there speechless at Savannah's rudeness. Jonah cracks a half smile at us as Savannah goes to hug him. 

"Yes, please come in." Jonah laughs.

"Just close the door, okay?" 

I snap out of it and close the door behind me. Jonah takes a seat on the couch and Savannah and I  take a seat on to separate chairs.

"Do I really smell that bad?" Jonah laughs again.

"Yeah boy, you need a shower!" Savannah jokes.

I crack a smile.

Jonah smiles and pats the seat next to him on the couch. I look over to Savannah whose eating the snacks on the table and marveling at the objects in the room. I look back at Jonah who nods and points me and then the seat again. I get up and sit down next to him. 

"Thanks for coming tonight." he speaks softly.

I look down and then back up at him.

"Thank you for the tickets." I smile.
