Competition Blues

Evening of competition:
Mackenzie's POV:

I'm back stage walking about when Johnny comes over.

'Hey Kenzie, can I talk to you?'

I feel like this is a serious matter, just judging from his facial expression. We both sit down on a large music case, since there were no chairs.

'Of course!'

Johnny looks down for a minute. Ignoring me, I'm tempted to ask what is wrong when he speaks up.

'I feel like this might be the end of my journey.

I gasp.
'Johnny what? We've barely even started it! You can't stop now- no- not now!'

Johnny didn't agree though, he just shakes his head looking at a guitar laying about backstage.
As there was nobody in the audience yet, he could easily perform for a minute. I've heard Johnny, he is amazing!

'I've been thinking through what everyone said, and, I guess I have to agree with them, you know? I don't care about a competition- I just want to do what I love-  live for even!'

Listening to him makes understanding even more impossible for me. Does he mean that he'd give up his friends for a sacrifice??

Frowning I respond shakily.
'But- if you quit, you loose your crown- you fame- your life! You have a bigger risk in quitting now than not coming in this mess at all!' I snap back.

'Maybe I never knew that this would be such a mess!' He hisses.

Aghast I put up my hands in protest, just before a heated argument is formed. We sit in silence looking at each other. Not knowing how to accept the truth. Maybe Johnny was right? I don't know.

A few moments pass when I hear Johnny sigh.
'There's better news though.'

'Such as?' I ask.

'I've written the new song we've planned to do once.'

I chuckle, simply remembering that first conversation with us 2.

'The new song YOU'VE Planned to do dummy!'

Johnny is confused which makes me grin more.

'What's it called?' I ask.

He straightens up even more.
'Le-'

He's interrupted by a sound of shoes echoing behind the curtains. A figure moves behind it. Johnny leaps to his feet.
'This must be our guest!'

A girl around Johnny's age comes around the stage curtain. It was the same one I saw on the flight!

'Lauren?' I ask.

The girl is no stranger to me and soon runs up giving me a hug.

'Mackenzie!'

'You already know each other?' Johnny asks third wheeling. We both nod in agreement. Suddenly I feel guilty for once thinking that she was his girlfriend.

'It's so good to see you!' She beams happily. Taking our hands in each other I notice how similar comparison she is to Johnny. Johnny is an epic friend, so Lauren must be too.

'So good to see you too!' I respond,giving each other another hug squealing in happiness. I really don't know why girls do this, as Johnny must be hella confused.

We three then walked off to get some food before the competition started.

I have a feeling this is gonna be a good one!
