-Your P.O.V-

Tonight we performed in my hometown.

Phoenix, Arizona.

It felt weird being back here again.

The place still seems the same though.

Nostalgic feelings and memories entered my head of when I lived here.

My mom and I walking around town, getting ice cream, going to the park.

Sometimes I miss those days and long for them again but part of me is happy with who and where I am now.

A smile emerges on my face as I think of my mother.

I may not have her necklace anymore, but she still lives on.

-Time Skip-

Broken Castle was about to go on stage for the second time since my necklace broke.

Josh was beside me and trying to calm me down.

"Hey, look at me." I lift my head to meet Josh's brown eyes.

I breathe in and breathe out.

"Everything is going to be just fine." Josh assures me.

"Josh, I really don't think-"

"Hey, you said you felt comfortable around me, right? Like I calm you down?" Josh asks, looking down at me.

I nod my head.

"Then just think of me while you're out there." He smiles.

I blush.

"Thanks Josh." I smile.

"No problem. Just go out there and have fun. Give it your all and maybe it won't be that bad." Josh shrugs.

I hold out my arms for Josh to wrap his body around and hug me.

He grins and embraces me.

Thank you, Josh Dun.

We let go of each other as Karma and Grayson head to the stage.

"Okay, break a leg! I mean not literally but you know it's just a figure of speech and...yeah." Josh blushes and laughs.

"Thanks. Let's do this!" I yell and run onto the stage, acting fearless.

Josh laughs and watches me run away.

-Time Skip-

We were in the middle of performing on the stage.

It was such a rush being there.

Josh was right.

Thinking about him was helpful and being energetic really seemed to help get the crowd as hyped as I was.

Everyone cheering, singing along, having a good time.

My eyes jolt from the left, to the middle, to the right.

The place was packed.

The stage was like a second home to me.

I get to share what I create with people and fans who are so pumped.

I have the best career ever.

What good vibes.

-Time Skip-

After performing, Josh was in his usual spot waiting for me to walk off the stage.

"You were-"

"Amazing?" I interrupt, teasing him.
