Will, day of the play.

   I could feel literal butterflies with butter knives poking around in my stomach, trying to make me puke so I'd have an excuse to not go out on stage. I stared at myself in the mirror, questioning how I should fake my illness to Mr. Brunner.

   That's when I felt a hand on my back and I turned around, seeing Nico. The love of my life.

   "Babe, I don't think I can go on. I feel sick to my stomach," I said, holding my stomach in emphasis.

   "Oh, shush. You are amazing, Will. The best in this town. Now, go show those hoes what they're missing. Your dad is in the audience, right?"

   I nodded. This was the first show he had ever been to of mine, and he brought along his girlfriend.

   "Prove to him who you are," he smiled. "You got this. They're opening, to get in ur portion and wait for the cue."

   I nodded, before taking one last look in the mirror as I ran up the steps to the stage and found my x.
