The Fix

Vingt-Six / Instagram Live

Y'all really been showering me with support 😭 I don't deserve it

Nathan

Weeks later, I was packing my bag for Texas. Houston Music Festival was rapidly approaching, and I need at least a week to rehearse. It was the morning time, though it was dark due to an intense storm going on outside, which LA rarely has. I prayed the rain would stop before tomorrow morning, when my plane takes off.

"I wish you would come with me." I said stuffing more shirts in my suitcase.

"I told you Nathan, I have to help my step mom move out of the house. I can't leave California for two weeks for a festival." She said, taking the shirts out of the suitcase and folding them properly.

"It's not just any festival. This is my first time performing in a while. I want you to be there to see it."

"I wish I could..but I have a lot to do here."

Things worked out in the worst way. All this shit came up RIGHT when I wanted her to come to Houston with me. But her family needs her.

"I'm gonna miss you though." She said squeezing my cheeks.

"Don't bring no niggas over while I'm gone. I can check the cameras."

"Oh please. It's me who should be worried, who knows what kind of girls are waiting for you in Houston."

"Like I care. I ain't checking for them."

For the past couple of weeks, it was just me and Audrey around the house spending time together. For a second I forgot I had a life I had to get back to— and for some reason I dreaded that.

"Sure you aren't. You're lucky I trust you."

"Even if you didn't..Ty is gonna be there with me. And he likes you. So if I'm being stupid you'll know."

"That's why I mess with Ty, them other ones....eh. And the hours we have left together aren't gonna be spent sitting around, so get dressed."

I was hoping we could spend it fucking.

"Where can we go when it's storming like this? I ain't tryna get struck by lighting."

"Ugh it's like the storm is getting worse. I don't want to just sit around though." She said laying on my lap.

"Idea!!!" She said gasping, sitting up quickly.

"What is it..?"

"Well..I say as your assistant, you should interact with your fans more. I think you should go live on Instagram for a while and answer some questions."

"I suck at answering questions-"

"Too bad." She said standing up to turn on the light. I guess answering a few questions won't be so bad...if there's one I can't answer I'll just ignore it.

I tweeted out I was going live, set my phone up in front of me, but just when I was about to press start, Audrey stopped me.

"Wait. Don't say anything stupid."

"I'll try not to." I said smiling.

"I'll sit next to you, just make sure I'm not in frame."

"Okayyyy Audrey. With your shy ass." I said pressing start.

A bunch of names popped up quickly, as the number in the top corner steadily past the thousands.

"I won't be on here too long..just gonna answer a few questions."

adrianna_lovesyou: CAN I HAVE YOUR KIDS? THATS MY QUESTION!

"Adrianna unfortunately I cannot make that happen because I have a girlfriend. If things don't work out I'll DM you."

kylieeee: Wait I thought you broke up with Danielle🙃

"Let's not get confused. Danielle is not apart of my life, but I am seeing someone."

Audrey looked over at me, gesturing for me not to say anything else about it.

TyTheRealest: her ig is @Audrey.c y'all

This nigga.

"Please ignore Ty, I don't know that girl he just tagged."

DjTeddyGramz: Uhh you got some explaining to do 👀

"Ignore Graham too. These niggas are pulling random girls out of a hat."

Bryshere.Gray: Yeah y'all quit lying on Menace. The girl Ty tagged is mine 😒🙄

As much as I wanted to cuss the nigga out, Audrey was mad enough Ty put her on blast. She didn't want the world to know about her and I, so I let the world believe she was his.

The comments were moving so fast, I could barely find a question to answer.

MarcoHuncho: nigga we don't care about your girl..drop some music

"Music is on the way. I got some good shit with Sampson coming, and some other stuff I can't mention. You'll hear it at the Houston Music Fest."

Selenaforever: when you coming to New York 😩

"I won't be touring for a while, I'm trying to take time for myself."

I answered question after question, while Audrey sat next to me watching. I saw that I was getting a call from Ty, which made me end the live.

"Hello?"

"Aye man I know you were doing your livestream and all that..but I just called LAX. Our flight is cancelled cause of the weather."

"WHAT?!" Me and Audrey said together.

"They have another flight for Thursday, but I don't know if that'll give you enough time to rehearse."

"It's gonna have to be." I said frustrated. As much as I wanted to stay here with Audrey, this show is important. And I need my rehearsal time.

"I'll let you know if something changes. Talk to you later."

"Alright man." I said hanging up.

"Don't stress out..you'll still have four days to rehearse." Audrey said in attempts to comfort me.

"That's not enough time."

"You can make it work Nathan. I know you can."

The stress felt like a ton of bricks dropped onto my chest. But surprisingly Audrey helped, lifting them off..one by one.
