During the show I stood side stage watching my boys play their hearts out. I loved how Tony moved across the stage, how he and Jaime and Vic moved as one.
They finished playing Hold on Till May and Vic turned towards me and blew me a kiss. I smiled.
“Guys, this next song is for you guys that are stuck at home miserable, the only place to escape is right here. This place right here is our home, together! I know that this is where I love to be! Here, in front of you guys, playing for those kids that have lost hope but still push on. I see you guys cry when we come on and that keeps us going! Here’s Hell Above!” Vic said into the mic. The crowd was going crazy.
They started playing and Vic stopped singing and the crowd finished the line for him. The boys smiled. I watched Tony play, his hair flipping this way and that. I loved my boys. I loved Vic the most.
They stopped playing and suddenly Vic walked over to me and pulled me on stage. He pushed me in front of the mic and whispered “Sing Bulletproof love” into my ear.
Tony and Jaime started playing; Vic handed me his guitar and I began playing.
“I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights” I sang into the mic. The crowd was quiet. This didn’t bother me, Finally Jaime Pulled Esther on stage and she grabbed a mic and helped me.
“We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights” she sang.
The crowd started cheering and I played Vic’s guitar with pride. Even though I was pregnant, I loved the rush the stage gave me. I will always love what I do. What me and my fiancé do.
The song was over and I was exhausted. Esther and I walked off stage, That was the last song but Vic wanted to give a speech and then get off. While he did that I laid down side stage and softly fell into a soft sleep.
I woke up on the bed and Vic was lying next to me on his phone.
“Vic…” I said and yawned.
He turned his head “Yes babe?” He said
“What happened?” I asked.
“You passed out side stage; I guess being pregnant and being on stage wore you out. I carried you back.” He said
“I’m so sorry!” I said panicked. He patted my head and smiled at me “It’s fine.” He said.
He moved closer to me and put his arms around me, I snuggled up close to him and let him hold one of my hands while he plays with my hair with his other hand, he kisses my forehead and I fall asleep again.
“Goodnight love” I heard him whisper into my ear before I hit my deep sleep stage.
