Chapter 19 - Stage Acts FINALE - Forced and Faked

*Your POV*

     Today's the day of Stage Acts and well, we're all a bit tense. I think I may have ruined everyone's mood... I should have waited until after the competition, that way I wouldn't have brought everyone's spirit down.

    Our performance wouldn't be a performance if everyone has negativity overflowing from everywhere.

     But it's my fault.

     I walk towards our designated dressing room and found everyone in costumes. Made by Cadenza, I'm dressed in a flowy white dress matched with black flats and my hair curled down perfectly by Lucinda. Laurance was in a somewhat like a white t-shirt and black pants that are for some reason made him look amazing. Or is it just me?

     "Hey, (Y/n)!" Aphmau greeted me. As soon as Aphmau mentioned my name, everyone turned silent but didn't turn to look at me. I knew it.

     "Guys... I know I may have ruined the mood but... Hey, let's give it our best shot, okay? I know I've ruined everything for everyone because of my news but..." I squeeze my eyes shut and grip onto my skirt. "Please don't let me be a reason for you to be down.."

     No one said a word for about five seconds. I could feel their eyes at me. But I don't know what reaction they'd have.

     "Okay, everyone!" I peeked as soon as I heard Lucinda's voice. "You guys heard (Y/n)! Do you really want her to feel like a burden?"

     "N-No! It's not like that I--" I was cut off.

     "Well, she's right. Let's give it our all, okay?" Aphmau.

     I blinked my tears away and smiled. I really am the luckiest person on the planet.

     "Okay (Y/n), deep breathes." Lucinda said as she breathed in with me.

     "I can't believe this is happening." I breathed.

     "Okay girl, don't panic. Everything's gonna be just fine." Lucinda.

     "I'm not panicki--"

     "I said don't panic, (Y/n). Everything's gonna be okay, okay?"

     "Like I said, I'm not--"

     "STOP PANICKING! Because if you panic, I'll panic. And if panic occurs, I'll have wrinkles. And wrinkles are something I don't wanna have in my book. SO PLEASE JUST DON'T PANIC!!"

     I raise my hands up in surrender, eyes wide. There's really no point if I keep on resisting.

     "Lucinda, you're making her panic. It's okay, (Y/n). Calm down." Katelyn stepped in.

     "That's what I keep telling you! I'm NOT panicking!" I snapped.

     "Sh...sh...shhhh..." She put her finger on my lips. "It's okay, you're amazing. Just don't panic and you'll be fine."

     Again, I raise my hands up in surrender and walked away from them. Hearing Katelyn say "Let her be, she needs some time alone" in an emotional way.

     Ugh! I swear.

     I was backstage where I saw the official band members of ( band name you thought of ) except for Laurance and Garroth.

     "You ready, (Y/n)?" Aphmau approached me, drumsticks set on her shoulders.

     "As I'll ever be." I answered. "You?"
