You're My Angel | Steven Tyler |

Chapter 5 - Voice

"I can't do it! Nope I can't do it!" I say trying to run past Steven and Mia, to get to the exit.

"Not so fast!" Steven exclaimed, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me back.

"You're up next, you can't bail now even if you wanted too." Mia said smiling at me.

"Why did I agree to this?" I whine, resting my forehead on Steven's shoulder in exasperation.

"You seriously mean to tell me that you can play an Aerosmith concert in front of no less than 20,000 people but this scares you?" Mia asks and I look at her and sigh.

"I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." I say walking down the hall quickly and disappearing around the corner and into the bathroom. I shut the door behind me and immediately rest my hands on the sink, breathing in slowly and deeply trying to calm my nerves.

My head snapped towards the door when it opened. My eyes widened when I saw Steven stepping through the door. He immediately locked it behind him and made his way towards me, pulling me into his arms.

I went willingly, resting my head on his shoulder, my arms wrapping around his middle. My heart was still thumping against my ribcage. After a few seconds, he pulls back.

His left hand stays on my waist while the other comes up to rest on my cheek, rubbing softly with his thumb.

"You can do this baby, trust me. You're a superstar, and you're going to go so far." He says, and I put my head down and let out a sigh, before I pick my head up and meet his eyes once more.

"What if none of them turn around? I don't know how I'd deal with that rejection Steven." I tell him, biting my lip from nervousness.

"I bet... you'll go out there and all four chairs are going to turn. You baby, you're like a beacon of light when you sing. You're magic, you got to me when I had been blind for so long. You're amazing Arizona, now you have to go out there and let them know." He tells me, crashing his lips onto mine.

The kiss is so full of passion that I feel my nerves die down immediately. He pulled away after a few seconds and brushed a piece of hair from my face.

"Are you ready?" He asks, and I smile at him, feeling ready to charge on the stage and take it by storm.

"As I'll ever be... Thank you." I tell him, pressing a quick kiss to his lips again.

"Anytime baby." He smiles, unlocking the bathroom door and letting me walk out first. I nod at him letting him know the coast is clear and then we make our way back to the waiting area.

Almost immediately me, Mia, and Steven are taken to another part where I'm handed a microphone and told to head onto the stage. I take a deep breath and clutch the microphone in my hand before I walk up the stairs and onto the stage. I take my spot in the middle.

I immediately see the crowd and the backs of the chairs facing me with each coaches' name on the back. My nerves were gone thanks to Steven.

The music started and I put the microphone to my mouth to sing. I took a deep breath and let the words fall out.

" Thought I saw a man brought to life.

He was warm he came around like he was dignified.

He showed me what it was to cry.

There's nothing where he used to lie
