Hello San Francisco!
Chapter 29
Demi's POV
That night... San Francisco
I look out in front of me at the crowd of 20,000 people, possibly even more. Even though Nick and I have been performing for years, it still amazes us just how many people support us. Simon comes over to us to wish us luck. He cracks a joke with Nick, shakes, his hand, and then asks Nick for a moment alone with me. "Don't mack her face off!" He laughs and turns back to me. "I'm so proud of us for getting through these past few weeks and I truly wish you the best. I love you and I'll see you after your set."
I head on stage and begin to sing Warrior:
This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like you're a pro
All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised
Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again
Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar
I've got shame, I've got scars
That I will never show
I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know
Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken or bruised
'Cause now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me
There's a part of me I can't get back
A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once, I'll never be the same
Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
Cause you are never gonna take the blame anyway
Now I'm a warrior
I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armor, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again
No oh, yeah, yeah
You can never hurt me againI take a deep breath and the audience cheers, which causes me to beam. I continue with the rest of my set and then introduce Nick. I pat him on the back and head backstage to relax with Simon until Nick and I end with our duet Avalanches. Simon looks at me in awe, which makes me blush. "You did so wonderful Demi and Nick's killing it to me. I can already tell that this tour is going to be a success. I smile as we sit on the couch in my dressing room and cuddle watching every girl swoon over Nick. A couple attempt to jump on stage. Simon nearly wets himself from laughing so hard.
1 hour later...
I kiss Simon on the cheek and run back onstage with Nick to perform our duet.
Words like a loaded gun (oh oh, oh oh)
Shot out from a fire tongue (oh oh, oh oh)
Love lost from a fight that was won (oh oh, oh oh)
And I can see you breaking down
The end to a falling out
I got pride, you can't hold your breath
We'll crash down like an avalanche
Look out now, don't take one more step
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche
I never wanted to turn out this way (oh oh, oh oh)
Now forever feels like yesterday (oh oh, oh oh)
Sorry's something that I just can't say (oh oh, oh oh)
Then you see me breaking down
The end to a falling out, yeah
I got pride, you can't hold your breath
(Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche
(Crash down, crash down)
Look out now, don't take one more step
(Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche
(Crash down, crash down)
Oh
We'll crash down, yeah
Oh
Like an avalanche
I got pride, you can't hold your breath
We'll crash down like an avalanche, oh
I got pride, you can't hold your breath
(Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche
(Crash down, crash down)
Look out now, don't take one more step
(Even if we survive)
We'll crash down like an avalanche, avalanche
(Crash down, crash down)
Oh
Crash down, crash down
Oh
Just like an avalanche"Thank you everyone for coming out! We love you all! Drive home safely!" Nick and I hug each other when we get offstage. Our stage crew and Simon join in on it too. If every night is like tonight, then I'll die happy.
