You, Me & Music

Chapter 1

Tonight we will be having My Birthday Concert here in my home town and all the money will be donated to the charity across the Country. Our World Tour Concert just got finished a week ago and I haven't seen my family yet. 

The room is very big, for chairs for us and mine has a name of Ashton Fox at the back, all facing in the very big mirror and the make-up artist just finished putting some foundation on our face

I am rehearsing the songs that we are going to perform tonight when there's a knock on my door. 

"Come in!" I shout, "Oh my fucking God Lindy! You're here!" 

She laughs at my excitement. "Happy much? Someone wants to talk to you" she says with a smile.

I waved my hand to the make-up artist to leave for a while and James, Alex and Mike leave us too for a while and then I turn to look at Lindy.

"Who?" I ask, with a confused frown. 

Suddenly, a small giggle comes from behind her back. "Me, Uncle Ton! I missed you" he exclaims full of joy. A little blonde kid came into view smiling like he won in a car race game.

"Still can't pronounce my name there buddy?" I pinch him playfully on the nose and grab him to put over my shoulders. 

"Look, Uncle, I lost my tooth yesterday" he says pointing emphatically at gap where his tooth should be. 

I laugh at him, "Did the fairy give you some money?" 

"Not yet but Mommy told me maybe tomorrow the fairy will come to give me money" 

I'm about to respond when the aide strides in importantly, he is a dark haired guy with a French accent and he point into his clipboard in hand. "Mr. Fox 10 minutes"

"Ok" I mutter, putting Liam back into his feet. 

"Let's go baby, Uncle needs to get himself ready" she says, pulling a reluctant Liam up into her arms. 

"Wait...Umm...Is she coming?" I ask, full of hope. 

"Honestly Ash I don't know, I went to her office yesterday and asked her if she would come, but she told me she has a ton of paper work to finish. Still, I left the tickets on her table. I really hope she'll come Ash, for you." she says with a sad face 

"It's okay" I mutter, disappointed and full of self-pity. 

"By the way are you going to sing the song? You've been saving that one for God knows how long" she asks. 

"You've asked me that God knows how many times. You know that the song was written for her!" I exclaim. Then, with a shrug I add, "But I don't know maybe I should sing it tonight." 

"You sure?" 

"Maybe Linds." I sigh and run my hand through my hair. 

The aide strides in again, looking down at his watch. "Mr. Fox 5 minutes." 

"No problem, man" I reply with a smile. 

"Alright, Ash, good luck! You'll do great. Liam say good luck to Uncle Ton, we'll see him on stage later." She says smiling down at Liam. 

"Good luck Uncle Ton!" He comes over to peck me on the cheeks. "Mommy I wanna see Daddy!" he exclaims. 

"Ok baby" she says before she turns to face me "We'll go to the next room. See you in a bit." I hear them moving away and after a second they're gone. 

A few more minutes pass before the aide comes back again. "Mr. Fox, are you ready? The rest are on stage now, break a leg sir" he smiles at me 

"Thanks" I say, returning the smile.
