~Darious~

Raven was clenching my hand so tightly that I thought she was going to pass out.

"Raven, baby please let me go, you need to get ready to go on." I said to her. We were standing backstage by the food bar at her first real concert. She was breathing hard like she was about to have a heart attack.

"What if I mess up? What if my voice cracks? What if I fall off the stage?" she said nervously. I laughed lightly at her thoughts. I held both of her hands and looked he straight into her eyes.

"Baby, you are amazing. Just act like you're in the studio. Remember when I watched you rehearse?" I asked her. She shook her head yes.

"You were incredible then, and you're going to be incredible now, understand me?" I told her. She took a deep breath then shook her head yes. "Drink some water, and chill out. Just go into the little music land you go to when you play your music." I said, struggling to find words to say. She cracked a smile. One of the producers walked up to us.

"Two minutes, Or less, but two minutes." he said and then walked over to Maleeah and Riley who were on the other side of the stage. Raven took a sip of water from her water then looked at me.

"Im chill." she said as she walked towards the opening. I laughed at her and she turned around and gave me a face.

"Your gonna be great baby!" I yelled to her.

"And now, we have a new risen band and an upcoming rapper. Please give a warm welcome to Hypnotic featuring Script!" the producer said into the mic, making the crowd go wild. The girls walked out and the crowd roared. Raven began to play the guitar and when she started singing she was a whole different person. Terrance and I stood there watching them. They were on point, hitting every single note, riff, beat, everything, and the crowd loved them.

"Good luck bruh." I said as I dabbed Terrance up as he was about to go out and rap. As soon as everyone saw him the girls went wild. I decided to take out my phone and record an instagrm video. The caption was:

"My babies are doing big things out here y'all." I tagged Raven, Riley, Terrance, and Maleeah.

It instantly got 400 likes. Being the fact that I had over 10k followers, it was normal but the likes just kept coming and coming. People were commenting and tagging people.

I been lied to, so what's the truth?

Now im not gonna hide it all, keeping it all from you.

I've been dying to know what you've tried.

You've been lying so,

Honey im not, your honey pie.....

Raven sang the last verse with so much soul. She was even better than amazing, like I told her she would be. The crowd once again went wild for them. I was proud. They're following their dreams and im happy for them.They all soon came backstage. I gave all the girls a hug then I dabbed up Terrance.

"Yo, y'all were fire! That was amazing. I'm proud of you. All of you." I told them. They were all smiling.

"Thank you baby. I feel so relieved. You do not know how nervous I was Dee." Raven said as she stood underneath me.

"Ro, im pretty sure everyone knew how nervous you were." Riley laughed. We all started walking towards their dressing room. As soon as we got in everybody plopped down in chairs and started talking. There was soon a knock at the door.

"Hey, you guys got a visitor, can they come in?" The security guard said from the other side.

"Errr, sure." Raven said. The door soon opened and a guy who looked just like Raven but more manish stood at the door with someone behind him.

"TRE!!!" Raven practically screamed as she hrew herself into his arms. Who in the world is Tre? Everyone stood up and greeted him while I stayed seated.

"Oh um, Tre, this is my boyfriend, Darious. Darious, this is my brother Tre." Ro said. I see now.

"Oh wassup bruh." I said as I dabbed him up.

"Heyo." He said. "I bought a friend." he continued as he stepped inside to reveal who was behind him. It was Trevor Jackson.

~Raven~

I swear I almost peed on myself when Trevor Jackson walked through the door. I used to have the biggest crush on him. I still do kinda. He walked over to me and looked down at me.

"You guys were amazing." He said to everyone.

"Thanks." I said. "I really like your music." I continued.

"Thanks, I like yours too." He laughed. I laughed with him.

"So, how come you didn't tell nobody you were coming to the show?" Terrance asked.

"Cause I wanted to surprise my baby sister." Tre said as he hugged me. Tre and I had that unbreakable brother-sister bond because we have been through so much together. No matter how far away we were from each other, we always made sure that the other was safe and sound. "Plus, I told my boy Trevor here that yall were really good at what yall do and he wanted to come and see it for himself." He continued. Tre was an upcoming music producer and rapper. When we were kids, he would make beats and rap to them while I sang and added other instruments to the songs.

"Yeah, It would be really nice if I could get you guys featured on a track with me someday." Trevor said as he took out his phone. Oh my gosh. Trevor Jackson wants us to sing with him.

"Definitely, we're all for it." Maleeah said.

"Okay take out your phones, because you're all putting my number in it." He said. I laughed in shock. I was really getting a celebrity's phone number. I proceeded to put his number in my phone and I was cheesing mad hard while I did.

"Okay, well um., I guess i'll stop by later cause im here for a good month or so." Tre said.

"Wait, you're gonna be here for my birthday???" I asked surprised. Hes missed my birthdays for the past three years but hes always sends me gifts and cool food.

"UH CHEA?! IT'S YOUR EIGHTEENTH! IN A WEEK! TURN UP!" He yelled making everybody cheer. My birthday was on May 15th which was literally six days away.

"Alright, we'll see ya'll later." Tre laughed as he walked out with Trevor close behind.

"Bye." everybody called. Soon afterwards we signed some autographs then left. When I got home I took a shower then got dressed in one of Darious' black t-shirts that I stole and a pair neon green and black track shorts with fuzzy slippers. He and Terrance had left to go pick up a pizza. It was 12:29 at night and only me, Maleeah, and Riley were in the house. Both of them were down in the basement fooling around in the studio. I was about to walk down there when I heard the screeching of car tires. I looked out the window and saw Derek's car pull into the driveway. I walked to the door and opened it.

"What on earth is wrong with you??? Are you okay?" I asked. Derek and Marty jumped out the car and pretty much football player tackled me inside the house. I was laying on my back on the floor with my wet hair all over the place. Marty hurried and locked the door and began to close the blinds.

"What's wrong you guys?" I asked confused and angry.

"Raven, go in the basement." Derek said in a demanding tone as he helped me up.

"No, why? How you gone come in my house and tell me what to do?" I asked.

"If you don't take yo a** in that d*** basement, girl imma hurt you." Derek said to me as he gave me a mean look.

"Just tell me why!" I yelled. He took a deep breath and looked at me.

"Cairo and his boys are on they're way right now..."
