After school, we were in the music room. We didn't want to waste time so we're going to practice here today.

The competition is tomorrow. I can't really say I'm ready. I feel the moment I step on the stage I'll forget everything, my hands won't stop shaking and I won't be able to play properly just like in the movies.

Our music isn't perfect. I know. Nothing can be perfect, especially in music. There's always different ways to interperit it, and different ways people like it.

I just have to try my best.

I must've been staring at my hands for a long time because Travis placed his hands over mine.

"It's going to be fine." He said with a small smile on his face. "I believe in us, and even if we can't do it, we can try again. Ok?"

I nodded and smiled back at him. "Thanks." Having his reassurance some how calmed me.

Travis' P.O.V

Some people might ask why this competition matters so much to me. It's because of Katelyn.

She helped me, even though she didn't realize it. She helped me to love piano a lot again. She made my days brighter, my worries lighter and though she can be frustrating, she makes me happy. Every time I'm with her, all my sadness fades away. My frowns turn to a smile and I stop worrying.

At first I had just flirted with her because she was so beautiful. Then, she hated it but I just couldn't seem to stop trying to get her attention.

I guess as I went along, I started to like her. It's nothing I've ever felt before. That day, when she was crying in the music room I felt my heart being torn to pieces and I could help but hug her.

That day when we fought, even though I was very upset at her I couldn't seem to stop thinking about her. I knew I should've been upset, but I couldn't help but think ways to make her forgive me.

That day on the beach when we kissed, I felt my heart speed up, my head go blank, and my stomach exploded into so many little butterflys. All I could think about was her.

That day when I fell ontop of her, I wanted to hug her close, but I couldn't bring myself to doing it. I was scared of being rejected.

I liked this feeling, but didn't like it either. I felt, I'd do anything for her, which scared me.

Katelyn's P.O.V

After practicing, the day went by like a blur, and by the time I realized it, I was in bed.

I was scared to fall asleep, because then It'll be tomorrow by the time I realized it. I was staring at the ceiling as I got a text from Travis.

T: I know you're
worrying about
tomorrow, and
can't sleep. I honestly
can't either, but I
want you to know
there's nothing to
fret about. What
happens happens,
and that's what it's
going to be. But
worrying now won't
do anything. So
go to sleep and rest
so you can play as
best as you can tomorrow. Goodnight 💚

I smiled. This was the nicest text I've ever recieved, and he understood me well.

K: Thanks Travis.
This helped a lot. I
hope you can get some
sleep too. Night 💙

I blushed as I sent the message because of the heart I added. I was going to delete it, but I sent it before I could think anything else.

I placed down my phone, and closed my eyes. The next time I opened them, it was Saturday morning. The day of the competition.

(So many time skips I'm sorry)

It was before our competition, and I was wearing my new dress, as Travis was wearing a suit.

We sat beside each other, as we stared at our music, reciting many parts before the competition.

Both of us were silent, and it felt really tense. Our shoulders were slightly touching, and that reassured me that he was there for me.

"Thanks you." I said.

"Huh? What are you thanking me for?" He asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

"For accompanying me. For supporting me. For just being by my side." I said.

"Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you. You did so much for me that you probably don't realize, but it means so much for me." He said and I smiled.

We went back to reciting our parts. My hands were cold. My hands become cold when I'm nervous. I tried to warm them up as much as possible because it's hard for me to play with cold hands.

Travis held my hands, which was warm might I tell you, and he smiled at me.

I blushed but I smiled back at him.

"Uh Katelyn and Travis? Please go to the backstage. You're next." The person said and we nodded as we stood up.

It was time, and I was trusting Travis to accompany me with the best of his ability.

Sorry! I just didn't feel like writing the competition part yet :/ it'll be in the next chapter! So be excited for it! Please vote, comment and tell others about my story! Bye!
