Just One Kiss || David Dobrik X Reader ✔

Chapter 43: Proud

Everyone stood backstage and waited patiently while I paced in my dressing room. This would be my first time singing on my own in front of an audience. David told me we could scratch it if I was too scared, but I insisted on doing this. It was going to be almost a bonus performance. Scott would perform a song, of course, but that was to end the show. I had to perform as almost a halftime show. And I was fucking terrified.

There was a soft knock on the door. I turned to see David standing in the doorway.

"Hi babe" I smiled.

"Hey, are you ready?" He asked.

"I-I don't know" I sighed.

I leaned against the wall and slid to the ground. David walked over and sat next to me.

"There's still time to back out" He said as he brushed a piece of my hair behind my ear. "I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to. That's the last thing I'd want to do" He added.

"But you're not" I told him. "You're just helping me bite the bullet and do what everyone's been waiting for" I said brushing my hair back.

"Like who?" He asked.

"You, our friends, our fans, my family, your family, some of out friends' family," I paused before finishing. "And my Dad" I bit my tongue, and for once, it worked.

"And he'll be on stage with you. You know that right?" David asked me.

I smiled. "Yeah," I turned to David. "The whole time" I added.

"And remember" He said leaning closer. "So will I" He said using his finger to tilt my head up so our lips were perfectly lined up. Our lips connected.

"Five minutes guys!" Jason yelled. "Oh, shit, sorry" He said frantically.

We both turned our heads to see him leaving the room.

"It's okay Jason!" I yelled after him.

"Is it really though?" David joked.

"Yes, he apologized and left the room" I defended.

"You win" He replied.

"Don't I always?" I asked.

"Usually" He sighed.

We both started to laugh hysterically.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright, next up is someone you might know." David announced. "My girlfriend, Y/N Y/L/N!" He yelled beckoning me onto the stage as the crowd went crazy and cheered.

I ran out onto the stage making the crowd go even crazier. I jumped and twirled until I was in David's arms. David smiled at me before doing something that was planned. He placed his lips on mine. The whole crowd sounded like their favorite band had just walked into the room. We stopped kissing. I bopped David on the nose before he let me go. I raised my hands in the air and waved at everyone. I kissed my hands and blew the kisses to the crowd. I then turned around and stood right next to David as he proceeded to announce everyone else.

After a lot of talking and laughing we entered into the music conversation. After telling them the story about me being in chorus and David bragging about 'how good of a singer I am' it was finally time to perform.

I stood up and walked to the front of the stage.

"Alright, so I have a song to perform," I paused. "In memory of my Father" I said.

The only reason I didn't get choked up was because I just thought of my Dad crying for me. So, I smiled for him.

"This was his absolute favorite song. So much so, that he asked me to perform this at his funeral and then to release it." I paused. "I've already done one of those. I performed at his funeral." The audience 'awed'. I could see a few girls crying. "And, well, as for releasing it, that really depends on the feedback from today." I paused. "And I know for a fact that he's standing somewhere in this room. Whether it's right next to me or if it's way at the back of the room. He's here. And I just want to tell him that this is for you."

I took a deep breath. I turned to the stage directors and nodded my head, signaling them to start the music.

The song ended as a single tear fell down my cheek. I stepped backwards one step and looked up at the silent crowd. I heard someone start clapping behind me. I didn't even have to look. I knew it was David. All of the sudden, the crowd went wild. They screamed the loudest yet. I was speechless. More tears fell. But tears of happiness. I held the mic up again.

"Thank you" I mumbled into the mic before dropping my arms again.

Arms wrapped around my waist and spun me around. David. I giggled more and more with each spin. He set me down before we locked lips again. The crowd, somehow, got even louder.

After everyone calmed down and I stopped crying, we all sat back down.

"I promised myself I wouldn't cry too" I laughed. The crowd let out a short cheer. "I mean, I was expecting maybe some cheering, not the whole fucking crowd to lose their damn minds." I said making everyone laugh. "You guys have no clue how nervous I was. I was literally back stage losing my mind." I added. "But my, my mind is blown. Thank you. All of you" I smiled.

We continued the show smoothly and it was finally time for Scott to perform, a.k.a the show was ending.

He sang Scott's Plan as we all danced and the audience sang along.

"I'M DAVID!"

"I'M JASON!"

"AND THIS WAS VIEWS!" We all yelled.

"GOODNIGHT LOS ANGELES!" David yelled as we all began to run off stage.

Once David and I were both off stage, he turned to me, grabbed my waist, and lifted me up. He twirled around as I wrapped my legs around his waist. He stopped spinning and we hugged.

"You did fucking amazing" He laughed.

"Thank you" I laughed back.

"Does that mean you're gonna record it?" He asked me.

I nodded my head. "I think that's what that means." I smiled.

He placed his lips on mine.

"I love everything about you" He said stopping the kiss momentarily.

"Right back at ya Davie" He smiled before we began to kiss again.

"I'm so proud of you" I heard my Dad's voice mumble into my ear.
