Performing The Act // 5SOS AU (Completed)

Chapter 7

// Three weeks later //

We all watched as Matt bopped along to our song. He lipsynced every word correctly and I was pretty sure no one noticed. Suddenly, the sound went dead. We all turned our backs. 'Oh my god.' was all Calum said. Jackson had pulled out the wire and a cable. 'Jackson, no!' Michael said. Why did we even let him backstage again? Before we knew it, people began screaming and yelling "boo's" at Matt. He tried saying his mic was broken, but no one heard it due the complains. Then, my stepmom appaers out of nowhere in front of. 'Don't go standing around here! Grab your stuff and play live!' she hissed at us. We all hurried to the equipment. Stepmom had put it there so that if the demo desappared or so, we still could perform. She signed Matt when to start up again. It got stopped just after the first refrain. We couldnt see anything of the crowd, since we were standing behind the large, thick black curtain. Suddenly Mae was there. Oh my god, he saw us! I quite panicked, then he pulled on a lever, and the curtain went down. Not knowing what to do, we contuined playing, shocked. As soon as Matt ran off the stage, we looked at eachother, taking our moment. Every camera was filming us and it was great!

'Play some more!' Mae and Jackson yelled at us as the crowd started chanting: 'more more more!'

'Don't Stop.' is all that I said, taking the lead since the others didn't knew which song we could perform. This song we rehearsed recently, so we could play it easily. People absolutly started screaming, filming us with their phones. After the performance, we waved and got off stage again. While screaming in happiness, realizing what had happend, we jumped around. 'OH MY GOD! WE PERFORMED! THE CROWD SAW US!!' Calum was hyper. We all were. 'This is SO amazing!'

We got interrupted. 'Lucas Robert Hemmings!' I heard behind us. She was angry, furious and well.. just a sh*tload of mad emotions. 'YOU HEAR ME?! YOU'LL NEVER LIVE WITH US AGAIN!! NEVER!!' she almost pulled out her hair, the way it looked.

'Camilia, what?' we all turned our heads to the other side, our backs now facing my stepmom. 'Dad!' I exclaimed, happily, running in his arms. 'You-You're back!'

When I let go, dad slowly walked up to stepmom. 'Camilia... why'd you say he'll never live with us again? Why so angry?' he frowned. Wait... did he saw the performance.

'Why- What are you doing here?' she asked, faking a kind, sweet voice. 'I heard somewhere Matt was performing. I was done there on time anyway, so why not stop by then waiting at home as surprise?' dad explained. Oh well, he saw the performance for sure.

'I-I can explain-' my stepmom stuttered.

'Maybe, but for what I just saw there, on stage, really... there's no explanation needed. Even though I did you, until I saw what you did, I'll stick to my son's side forever and always. So, I suggest you and Matt pack your bags and move out. It's quite pathetic to drag Matt down in this mess.' dad told my stepmom. She groaned angrily, then walked away, dragged Matt along with her.

'Yes dad!' I hugged him.

Then, I gave my bandmates slash best friends a hug. We thanked Mae and Jackson for what they did, because without them we wouldn't have performed as we did for the crowd, and otherwise my stepmom wouldn't be gone.
