The Amethyst Ring (A Hunter Hayes Fanfiction)

Chapter 15

                                 Jinger's POV

Today's the day. The day I've always dreamed of. Tonight I get to preform in front of thousands of people and show that what I can do. I'm beyond nervous and excited all at once.  Yesterday I spent the whole day with Isabelle and then spent the night at her house. I'm gonna miss her so much in the next few months here. I'm used to seeing her close to everyday. But luckily she has Jordan now so I wont feel as bad about not being here with her. My first show I'm ever gonna perform is gonna be in The Ryman Theater. The home of The Grand Old Opry.  I'm sitting here in my dressing room and I can feel the arena bubbling. I can't wait. Nervous, but can't wait. I'm dressed in my outfit for the night with a lavender off the shoulder tunic like sort of shirt, a jean skirt and black high top converse. Thats just for tonight. Some nights I'm gonna wear a black crop top with a daisy on it, a grey tank top under, a black with white polka dots on it and yellow low top converse. I have my hair down and my makeup smokey eye style and light pink lipstick. I hear a knock at my door and I say to come in. Hunter walks in wearing a snug black v neck, regular skinny jeans and his red converse. He walks over and wraps his arms around my waist for a minute and then pulls away, his hands resting on my hips. "You nervous?" He asks.

"Of course! But really excited too."

"You know you're gonna knock him dead right?"

I laugh and say,"I guess. Thank you." He brushs some hair away from my eyes and leans down and kisses my softly. After a second he pulls away gently and says,"Better stop before your lipstick gets smeared." I smile and say,"Thank you."

"Good luck. I love you."

"Thank you. I love you too." He walks out and Isabelle and Jordan come in and they wish me good luck. "You know Jinger, I remember one night when we were 12,

not too long after we became friends, we were having a sleepover and you said that you were gonna be singing in arenas someday. I never doubted you. Looks like you were right like I thought." We tear up a little together and then after they leave my family finally comes in. They'll be coming to the show in Louisiana but but they want to come to my first show too. They drove 3 hours to get here. They congratulate and wish me luck and everything and my mom and sister tear up a little. The Lillie, once she's regained her composure, steps over to me and pulls a little something out of her pocket. "You're gonna need these. And I know you'll love them." I open it up to find some hot and light pink leopard print guitar picks. They're .88mm too. My favorite kind. "Thank you so much Lillie." Hunter comes in and knocks on the open door and says,"They said you have to some get ready. You're on in 10." He then says hi to my family. "Allllright. Let's do it." I say bye to my family and take Hunter's hand that's leading me to where to stay to get ready. "Okay I have to go but just stay calm, have fun, warm up your voice a little if you need to and remember that I love you like a idiot." I laugh and hug him tightly as he leaves. The next ten minutes of waiting, final makeup touch ups, clothing adjustments, strapping my guitar on and waiting for the voice in my earpiece to to tell me to take the stages feels like forever. But when the time finally comes I feel frozen. I take a deep breath then walk up onto the stage. I get to center stage and see the amazing view. I wait for the initial applause to stop than casually say,"How y'all doing tonight?" I hear some cheers and applause and tell them that I'm gonna be playing a few songs from my debut album that's coming out in 3 weeks and where I'll be after the show if anyone wants to meet me. The whole show go's amazing. I have the time of my life. Finally as I take my bow I say,"Thank you everyone!!! Now...Who's ready for....MR HUNTER HAYES!!?!?!?!" The room explodes. "That's what I thought! Alright I'll see y'all after the show! I love you all and thank you so much!!" I bow and walk backstage. Tonight has been one of the best nights of my life. And it's only just begun...
