"Nervous?"
I felt a hand on the small of my back.
"Extremely." I whispered as I stared at the crowd in front of me from the side of the stage.
"Don't be," Sam told me, rubbing circles with his fingers where his hand rested on my back. "You're gonna kill it." I glanced at him and saw him smirking.
"We're gonna kill it." I grinned.
"That's my girl." His smile broadened as he placed a gentle kiss to my temple. "I need to go back to the bus real quick. I'll be back in time to play." He kissed me again, this time on my lips, before turning and jogging off the stage.
I turned back to the crowd. I was still nervous, but I felt a little more at ease knowing someone had faith in me.
Five minutes had passed before Sam returned. We quickly got ready to go onstage. First onstage was Shane, our drummer. Then went Olive (bass) and Sam (guitar). And behind them was me with my own guitar.
"What's going on, Self Help Fest?!" I shouted into my microphone. The crowd went wild and we burst into our first song.

After the set, we ran offstage and pulled each other into a massive group hug. That was by far the biggest show we had ever played.
"Hey!" We heard someone call behind us. We turned around saw two people walking towards us. I immediately recognized them as members of A Day to Remember.
"We're Josh and Jeremy from A Day to Remember. We just wanted to tell you that we watched your whole set and it was great!" Josh told us.
"Thank you so much," I said with a slightly shaky voice. If they thought we were good, we must have been good. "I'm McKenna. Most people just call me Mikey. This is Olive, Sam, and Shane." I gestured to my bandmates.
Jeremy, Josh, Olive, Sam, Shane, and I stayed around a little while to chat. About halfway through the conversation I realized Sam and Olive had vanished. This seemed to be happening a lot lately, and it was worrying me.
"Are you alright Mikey?" Shane put his hand on my shoulder.
"Huh?" I looked around and everyone was giving me a weird look.
