Marcel's POV
“Hey, everyone! How are you all?” I say into the mic. I'm not really sure where this sudden burst of confidence came from.
The crowd cheers and someone shouts, “Who are you?!”
I clear my throat, “I'm Marcel.”
“Mars?!” they shout.
“Yes,” I say, putting my guitar strap over my shoulders, “So, let's get started!”
I give Cami a thumbs up before I start strumming. She smiles shyly as she grabs the mic. This time, she actually sings. She starts out quiet, but then she gets into it. I can tell she's having fun and she's not scared anymore. She's amazing. It feels so unreal to be up onstage at our own concert. I never pictured doing anything like this, ever. And now that it's happening, I don't want it to end.
I feel like myself. This is the real Marcel. Not that geek that everyone thinks I am. This is me.
People actually like us. We're almost done with the show, we're about to finish our last song. I strum the last chord and walk over to Isaac. I whisper something in his ear and he smirks while nodding.
“Thank you all so much for coming!” Cami says when she's done.
Isaac quiets the crowd, “Actually, there's one more song.”
Cami looks at him confused as I sit down at the piano.
“Marcel is singing his own original song,” Isaac says. Cami's eyes light up as a spotlight is put on me.
“Um, this one is called 'Don't Let Me Go.' I hope you all like it...
“Now you were standing there right in front of me
I hold on it's getting harder to breathe
All of a sudden these lights are blinding me
I never noticed how bright they would be
I saw in the corner there is a photograph
No doubt in my mind it's a picture of you
It lies there alone in its bed of broken glass
This bed was never made for two
I'll keep my eyes wide open
I'll keep my arms wide open
Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
I promised one day that I'd bring you back a star
I caught one and it burned a hole in my hand oh
Seems like these days I watch you from afar
Just trying to make you understand
I'll keep my eyes wide open yeah
Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
Don't let me
Don't let me go
Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of sleeping alone...”
When I'm done, the crowd gets on their feet and starts cheering.
Wow.
I never expected this.
Joe comes over and pats me on the back. Cami walks over to me and I pull her next to me. I smile down at her and she looks up at me.
“I love you,” she whispers.
“I love you too,” I say, leaning down to kiss her.
The crowd cheers louder as we kiss. After we're done, we hold hands and take a bow.
I'll never forget this night.
It's been the best night of my life.

“That was amazing!” Cami shrieks once we're backstage.
“You guys were really good,” Joe says, “I didn't know you could sing like that, Marcel!”
I blush, “Nobody really did. I don't think I even did.”
Cami giggles and leans her head on my shoulder, “I'm so glad you came.”
“I am too. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you.”
“It's okay. You're here now, and that's all that matters.”
“You'll definitely be having more concerts,” Isaac says, “I'm sure of it.”
“Yeah, you're gonna get discovered!” Joe says excitedly.
“Have you ever thought about X-Factor?” Ben asks.
I nod and Cami shakes her head no.
Cami looks over at me in surprise, “You have?”
“Yeah... I don't think I'll actually audition though.”
“Marcel! You have to!” she shrieks.
“Noooo. This is just fine for me.”
“I'll make you audition.”
“Then you're auditioning too.”
“No, I accomplished my dream tonight. Now I need to find a new one.”
“Like what?”
“I don't know. Right now I couldn't ask for anything better.”
X-Factor, hmmm... Should I really audition?
I don't know when my next update will be. Hopefully tomorrow but I'm not sure. I hope you all like this chapter! Thank you for reading and commenting and voting! I love you all. <3
