I was a coward and ran away in fear. I let it overcome me for the first time and I felt awful. Suddenly I felt a gentle hand stop me from running any further. I turned around and collapsed on the ground, crying with my head in my hands. I felt someone hug me and try to quiet me down. I looked through my fingers and saw a pair of doc martens and knew it was josh who had followed me. After about ten minutes of crying, I looked up with dry, puffy, red eyes.
"Can you try to tell me what happened back there?" he asked so softly I barely heard him.
I shook my head.
"Will you come back to the dressing room so we can sit down and talk a bit more?"
I, again, shook my head.
"You can tell me your name and we can just talk about anything you want" he smiled and offered his hand this time.
I thought about it for a second and decided to give in. It can't hurt anymore to go with him. I gave him a weak smile and grabbed his hand. I felt butterflies in my stomach when I did, but I ignored them. Josh led me down the hall again and opened the door for me. I looked inside nervously and realized that Jenna and Tyler saw my breakdown. Great. Now they think I'm some weak little girl. When Tyler saw me, he jumped up from the couch that he and Jenna were sitting on and walked over to me. He offered his hand and introduced himself. Jenna followed suit and Tyler spoke again.
"Me and Jenna are going to go play some Nintendo if you want to come"
"We are gonna stay here for a bit longer. I'll text you in a bit Tyler" Josh replied for me.
Jenna and Tyler left Josh and I in the dressing room. I looked around at the leftover food and the remnants of clothes strewn over the room. Josh saw that I was looking around like a lost puppy and started to speak.
"Are you hungry, cold or bored?" he quickly stuttered out.
"I'm not bored, maybe a little bit cold and for sure hungry after that amazing concert. I also forgot to congratulate you on how well you played! I was in front of your drumkit and could feel the sweat from your hair" I laughed as I said the last part.
"Well thank you, ma'am. Here I'll grab you a sweatshirt of mine, you are wearing a tank top so you must be cold. Help yourself to any food around here, and we can go sit on the stage and talk a bit more" he explained.
I passed on grabbing some food. I wasn't too hungry, but I did grab a bottle of water to bring with me. Josh walked over to the couch and grabbed a sweater and tossed it over to me. As I put it on, and saw that it read "Reel Bear Media" on the front. I looked up at Josh to signal that we could leave the dressing room. Before we left, I spoke quickly.
"MynameisKennedy"
