Alan Walker POV:
Okay, I have a big set I'm playing tonight. It's gonna be longer than any I've ever played... I need to find something to wear. Something comfortable but decent looking...Time skip: 5 hours later
-someone knocks at the door-
"Hello?" Alan says shyly while pulling open the door.
It was Skrillex
"What's up? Are you ready to go?" Skrillex says impatiently.
I check my watch. It's only.............9:46 PM?! I dash to my room to grab my back pack leaving Skrillex awkwardly standing in the front doorway. "I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of the ti-" "Let's go! We only have a few more minutes till you're due on stage!" Skrillex cuts me off.Time skip: 5 minutes later
We arrive. As soon as we get to the venue, the DJ before us is still playing their set. I can't make out who it is but this is the best music I've ever heard! I continue walking closer and closer to the stage and I finally make out who it is. It's Marshmello?! I get nervous and sweat drips down my forehead. It takes me a few seconds to realize that my idol is playing the set before me and if I'm lucky, I'll get to meet him backstage! I lose myself in thought and then... SMACK I walk right into the closed door to get backstage. Ow...
I look to my right to see if anyone saw me walk into the wall, and most everyone is staring at me. Except Marshmello who is still heavily concentrated on the music. Phew. At least he didn't see me. I quickly open the door and gush inside, closing the door behind me as fast as I possibly can.As soon as I walk up to everyone chillin backstage they all start laughing. "Where's Skrillex?" Joel (Deadmau5) asks. "Uh, I think he's watching Marshmello finish his set." I say quickly.
I check my watch. It's 9:56 PM. I'm due on stage in 4 minutes. Just as I got done mentally noting that, the music stops and Marshmello walks in the door. Everyone starts crowding him. I don't. I just sit down on the couch and gaze around the room, worried I'd say something stupid. A few seconds pass then, BANG!
Wtf... I begin to think. I stand up and walk over to everyone and as I get closer I realize Marshmello just collapsed. Everyone is panicking. I check my watch. It's 9:59 PM. I didn't want to seem like a jerk for not helping, but I was due on stage. I knew if I did stay and help, I'd say or do something stupid. So I kept walking. I walked through the curtains at 10:00 PM exactly, the crowd cheered louder than ever. I was nervous and excited. I knew I couldn't mess this up because my idol was backstage listening.Time skip: 2 hours later
I played the last song of the night, Darkside, and as it starts playing I get lost in thought. I keep thinking, what if my idol hates me for not staying and helping him? What if I screwed up one of my songs and he heard? What if he did see me bash into that wa- before I knew it the song was over and I had to return backstage. I said goodbye to my fans and headed back.Right as I walked through the curtain to the back stage I checked my watch. It was midnight. I looked up nobody was backstage except Skrillex. "Where are the others?" I asked quietly. "They left. Their at the hospital waiting for Chris." Skrillex mumbled. "What?! Why?! What happened?!" I demanded. "You didn't see? He collapsed on the floor. Just outta nowhere... Something was wrong. He stopped breathing and Steve (Steve Aoki) called an ambulance..." Skrillex said in a panic. "Then why are you here?" "To tell you where we were and to take you with us."

We arrived in the hospital waiting room. Joel, Steve, Slushii, Tiger Lilly, Sophia, Tiesto, Martin, Zedd, Diplo, Ava, and Ciara were all gathered in the waiting room. I felt like such a selfish jerk for just leaving Chris like that... I checked my watch yet again, it read 12:34 AM. I sat down in between Slushii and Ava. It was so late... I was so tired...i feel asleep on Ava's shoulder not even knowing.Time skip: 2 hours and 6 minutes later
I wake up to Ava running her fingers through my hair. "Wake up sleepy one." I hear her soft, calming voice say. I sit up to see everyone walking alongside 3 nurses. I quickly get up to join. I check my watch, it's 2:40 AM. This is gonna be a long night I think to myself. We take a left and a few rights and everyone starts pouring into room #927.
I adjust my mask then I walk in. As I step in I see Chris laying in a hospital bed. He's extremely pale and hes unconscious. A few minutes pass of us all whispering to one another and staring at Chris. Then all of a sudden...
