Chapter 24 ~ The Perfomance

Friday came around a lot faster than I would've liked. The day of my performance had approached and I didn't even know if I was ready for it. I had been practicing for months on end but I still felt like I needed more time than infinity itself. It was the first time since the age of nine that I would be singing to a proper audience that wasn't Jenna but this Kellin would hear me sing too. I wasn't sure if that fact made the situtation better or worse.

After Andrea and Calvin had left Kellin had gone to retrieve my items, bringing them back one by one. I had offered to help but he immediately refused insisting that I either went back to school or spent the day relaxing, waiting for him. The second choice seemed the better option. The days that followed went by swiftly, my nerves increasing day by day. Everyday I had spent most of my time up in the tree house at the small piano rehearsing. It got to the stage where I eventually felt sick of the song.

"Since it's your big day today, how about you let me carry you to school on my bag?" kellin asked grinning at me as we walked to school. I had my headphones in, listening to my recording of my song so that it would sink in but listening to my own voice had me cringing.

"How about no?" I said, even though it was a while ago I still hadn't gotten over the piggy back that Kellin had given me before. I was not up for round 3 yet.

"I don't take no for an answer," he casually said and at the same time swung me onto his back despite my protests. We were as stubborn as each other which mean Kellin had to deal with having me hit his back the entire journey to school, he never put me down once though or complained.

"Vic, I think I'm a little too excited for this," he said as he tried pulling out one of my headphones unnoticed but he wouldn't get away with that as it was me. I slapped his hand playfully and he whined in exageration.

"I think I'm a little too nervous. Kellin, you know what most people think about me. Everyone will hate it, I don't know if I can do it," I said quietly and my shy side began to get the better of me. Kellin jumped slightly so that he could change his grip on me and pulled me round so that he could carry me bridal style as he looked me in the eyes

"And? I remember from when we were little, you have a beautiful voice. I assure you that you've got literally nothing to worry about. Besides, it's the last day of our whole time of Highschool. You'll never have to see any of them again after this," he said and I smiled. There was no way of me overcoming my nerves but all I had to do was remember those words and I'd be as close to fine as I could possibly be.

"Don't forget, I'll be smiling to help get rid of those nerves so if you start to get scared just look at me and I'll be filming," he said. He rushed the end bit because he knew how I felt about him recording this but I brushed it off.

"Remember to get my good side," I joked as I pulled an exagerated model type face. Kellin chuckled and I smiled at the fact that I was the reason for the small burst of happiness. He was still carrying me but not for long. Instead of turning right like he was meant to, my idiot of a boyfriend tripped over the curb ahead of him which sent me flying. I landed in the middle of the road, hitting my head slightly but not really sure what on. I began to laugh as I imagined myself speeding through the air and the fact it had happened had me in hysterics. My laughter didn't last long.

"Vic!" I heard Kellin cry and a car horn. His arms were around me then gone again in a second. I sat on a patch of grass in an awkward posititon, he had practically just thrown me twice within less than a minute. I snapped out of my gaze when I heard his voice let out a sound filled with so much pain I could've passed out. I got up and rushed to his side. He didn't seem very badly harmed but his hand was placed by his forehead which continued to bleed more heavily by the second.
