"Hey! Hey! Hey!" The music was running through the entire arena as red confetti sprayed all over the place while trees was playing. Tyler was playing one of the medium sized drums and throwing his hands up in the air on the beat.
"Look at how happy he looks Jenna." Tyler's mom said. "Josh too. I'm so glad they love what they do."
Jenna nodded. "I know, so am I. I'm just thankful that Tyler's in a better mental state now. Even a year ago, he wasn't doing as well as he is now. It scared us all, but this is what he wants to do. This is what makes him happy."
I looked up at Jenna. She was staring at Tyler in complete adoration.
As Trees came to an end, and the crowd cheered, I could see both Tyler and Josh searching the crowd. I caught the eye of Josh who gave me a smile.
"Hey Aria, can you come help Brad and I with some of the camera equipment?" Mark came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder.
"Yeah," I said, following Mark backstage, and around to the left side of the stage.
Once we found Brad, I saw he was trying to shove the tripod into its case. I crouched down and began to help him.
"Thanks Aria. Do you think you could grab the Canon camera over there in the corner? I think the case is next to it — if you could pack it up, that'd be great." Brad said.
I nodded and packed up the camera as Mark took it from me and placed it in a large bag.
I looked at the stage, only to see Josh walking off, a huge grin on his face.
"Ari!" he picked me up and pulled me into a hug — I was still wearing his jumper, which was doing a great job at keeping me warm.
"You did well." I smiled, burying my head into his shoulder.
"Come on, let's go back to the dressing room." Josh said.
"Wait, I need to help Mark and Brad." I jumped down from Josh, but Mark turned back before I could walk over there.
"You can go with Josh now Aria, Brad and I will be fine. Thanks for your help." Mark smiled.
I replied with an "okay," and ran back to Josh, jumping on his back.
"Let's go save the world!" Josh exclaimed.
"By saving the world you mean saving Jenna from Tyler right?" I asked with a chuckle.
"Either that or we have to save Zack from Maddy — they've been down each other's throats all day."
"I'm starting to think a family holiday might not have been the best idea for those two."
"Ari, I thought that a long time ago."
