Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. I can't do this. I can't. I need to get out of here. I can't BREATHE!

Jonah relax your singing the same songs as you've been singing for months. Just relax. Deep breaths.

I think Corbyn noticed I was shaking cause he gave me a look like "what are you doing?".

I didn't look at him though because I knew I looked terrified. I took a deep breath and gulped, and ran onto stage.

I looked around at the crowd frozen in place at my starting spot. I held my mic in my hand, which was shaking, and looked at the other boys who were all looking at me. I knew it was my part.

I lifted up my mic and opened my mouth but nothing came out. Jack started singing my part. I dropped my mic and ran off stage.

I ran past our manger to the bathroom and locked myself in a stall. I pulled my feet up and squatted on the toilet. I didn't bother to stop myself from crying.

I hated this. I hated all this. I. Am. Not. A. Singer.

I heard the bathroom door open and I went silent.

"Jonah?"

Corbyn. Again. Why is he always following me?

Don't act like you don't like it.

"Jonah?" He said again and started walking down the stalls. "I know your in here. You don't have to come out but...but I wanted to let you know that it's ok. It was like that for me the first time I sang for a crowd. I went on that tour with Zach and Jack, remember? But trust me Jonah, it'll get better. Eventually it'll feel like nothing."

"Corbyn, you...you don't understand." I said.

He came up to my stall now that he knew where I was.

"I understand more than you think I do."

"No you don't." I put my feet down and stood up. "I didn't want this."

I opened the door to the stall, not looking up at Corbyn.

"Didn't want what?"

"To be in this band. I knew it was gonna be like this. I can't handle it. I'm not for that famous life."

"No celebrities think they were meant for that life. It just kinda happened. It will for you."

"No one will like me." I muttered.

"People already do." He said and held out his hand to me. I looked up at him and saw a smile on his face. I smiled a little bit and grabbed his hand.

"You can do this Jonah."

"Ok."
