Never Known Love

Chapter 28

*Jade's POV*

1st Concert in Miami, Florida-

"Hello Miami! How are you doing tonight?" Dad asked the crowd. Right now he was on stage, opening for mum. Tonight I was just watching, getting a feel for the concert schedule before I just went right in and performed. I had decided that the songs I would be singing for my first concert would be She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5, and Gone, Gone, Gone by Phillip Phillips. Later, farther into the show, Mum, Dad, and I would be singing My Day by Danielle Bradbery. We decided we wanted to have a "family" moment on stage, hence the little family number. We would sing the same songs mostly every concert, unless we had the same city  two nights in a row, then we would switch it up. I would be singing different songs mostly every night, but will repeat my favorites. Most of the songs I will sing will be covers, but I may add in my own every now and then. It depends. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard- "Please welcome out my daughter, who will be singing tonight, Jade Sheeran..." I was then pushed out on stage. I slowly walked out, evaluating the crowd. I then walked up next to dad, who handed me a guitar. I whispered to him, "I wasn't supposed to sing tonight. I don't have anything prepared." I said, worried. "You'll be fine. Just improvise."  He replied back. He then walked off stage, giving me a thumbs up. I also saw mum on the side. "Okay, tonight I'm going to be singing Wasting All These Tears by Cassadee Pope." I said, into the microphone in front of me.

"I tried to find you at the bottom of a bottle

Laying down on the bathroom floor

My loneliness was a rattle in the windows

You said you don't want me anymore..."

I was dancing around the stage, spinning, skipping, playing, it was amazing. I was having so much fun, it felt like I belonged.

"I tried to find you at the bottom of a bottle

Laying down on the bathroom floor....."

I sang the end quietly, letting it echo through the stadium before the clapping and screaming started. They were screaming for me. For my singing. I bet you I had the biggest grin on my face up there, in my white jean shorts, blue sparkly top, and cowboy boots. I bet you I looked like a younger Mum, but with brown hair. The guitar, the age, the outfit. Its all like how mum started out. And I felt proud. Proud to be up there. Proud to call them Mum and Dad. And I truly felt safe. Safe, even with a huge crowd in front of me. I felt at home.

"Thank you! Now, for this last song I'm going to sing, I'm going to sing Burn by Ellie Goulding, because this is one of my absolute favorite songs. I think it is so unique and very fun to sing. So this goes to you Ellie!" I said. I then got the band to start, then I started with as much heart as the first.

   "We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing

'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something

They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space

Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race..."

Colored lights were going through the crowd as I danced around. I put the guitar down, and went near the pit. I grabbed people's hands, and high fived people. They would exclaim to their friends how I touched their hands, and I would grin, knowing I gave them that delight. I then raced around the stage, spinning, dancing, singing, and having the greatest time of my life. I looked backstage, to see Mum and Dad with tears in their eyes. Becca was standing right next to them, looking excited and happy, jumping up and down. I kept singing until the end came and that's when I gave my little ending speech, well more like sentence, since it wasn't long enough to be a speech.

"Thank you Miami, for one of the best nights of my life! And now I give you, the one and only- TAYLOR SWIFT!" I say, running off stage. I'm then enveloped in a hug from everyone, but mum soon had to rush away to get in her position. "You were amazing!" Becca said, crushing me. "Absolutely stunning," dad said, joining the hug. "Thank you so much. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Thank you for caring about me." I said to him. "Always."

AN: Sorry about the 'always'. I'm a Potterhead and a Tribute, so... yeah. Anyways Jade finally had a happy chapter that wasn't drama filled. Haha, not for long! Anyways thanks for reading!  ~Rachael
