~~~~~~~~~

Standing infront of the hotel mirror I smooth down my sequinned dress, my silver heels strapped to my feet, hair in a lose updo and makeup done to match my dress. My hands shake slightly betraying my nerves, the sudden knock on the hotel door has me jumping out of my skin.

"Miss Maxwell? I am here to escort you to the theatre." I breathe a sigh of relief, then grabbing my purse I head to the door, opening it slowly, coming face to face with a rather handsome man, long dark hair, a sweet smile and dark but caring eyes, even though his size dwarfs mine, I instinctively feel comfortable with him. I notice his eyes widen, mouth slack and eye brows raise as he takes in my appearance. I shuffle shyly, looking up through my lashes at him.

"Um ... hi. Im Lara."

"Name's Jonathan, Jon for short. I must apologise, your beauty took me by surprise. Please follow me." I cant help but flash a smile at the compliment, causing Jon's cheeks to flare to a rosy red hue before he turns on his heel and starts walking towards the elevators, I keep up with him easily, noticing his sly glances in my direction, which only makes me smile more. I feel more empowered and confident now. Standing in the elevator is awkward, neither of us speak and I cant help but look at my toes out of habit, the doors finally slide open and we step into the foyer. Walking along the side of the impressive staircase we enter the foyers belly and yet again my breath is taken away by the marble arches reaching to the ceilings, their smooth surface glistens in the light from the hanging chandelier, the bustle of people around us makes me instinctively move closer to Jon, his hand rests on my lower back. For reassurance? I dont know, but his hand is so warm it feels as though he is branding my skin through my dress, when did I become so cold? Or so aware of the small gesture? Jon leads me out of the hotels doors and into the cool, fresh night air, I breathe deeply, my nerves almost instantly calming as Jon steers me towards a white limo. My eyes fly wide open in shock, my jaw would be hitting the floor if it could, my legs refuse to keep moving as my eyes roam over the limo.

"This is for me?" My words come out almost strangled, Jon chuckles, tipping his head to the chauffer who is holding the back door open.

"Of course. You must arrive in style to your concert."

"Is it going to be a big concert?"

"Well, all the tickets have been sold so I would assume it would be rather big. Why?"

"Im just nervous. How many tickets were sold?"

"All 500 tickets." My stomach drops and my heart stutters, Jon guides me into the limo and I sit down automatically, not able to take in the interior yet as my mind tries to comprehend how many people will be coming. So lost in my panic I dont notice the limo moving, something cool presses into my hand and I grasp it by reflex only as my eyes dart up to Jon's.

"I cant do this." My voice stutters, my hands shaking, a panic attack imminent. Jon gently grasps my free hand and squeezes it reassuringly.

"Of course you can Lara. You are an incredible singer, im even a fan of yours. It may feel super scary but when you are on that stage the world is your oyster. You literally command the room with your singing, ive seen your videos and you really are a breath of fresh air in a world full of singers who just cant sing. I believe in you Lara." Jon's face is so close to mine that I can feel his breath on my skin but I am not afraid of him, the sincerity in his voice and the honesty in his eyes calms me, he eventually releases my hand and sits back smiling.
