We walk in and i'm not shitting bricks anymore. Surprisingly. Until i see the stage and the thousands of people im about to stand infont of and talk. Fuck. My. Life. I try and control my breathing but it doesn't work. I turn around to see a figure walking towards me. Joe. As soon as he reaches he reaches me he embraces me.

"It's ok" He whispers in my ear. "You'll be alright.... i'll be on stage with you and so will Zoe and Caspar." He adds.

He pulls away and i already feel weird with him not near me. I feel safe in his arms.

"Come on guys" A man shouts to us. Everyone starts lining up and i join them. I'm at the back though because im the last to go on.

One by one the guys are called on stage and im left by myself backstage. I hear a muffled voice come from the stage. It's Zoe.

"I'm pleased to introduce one of the kindest people know, apart from Alfie of course, it's True2you AKA Summer" I hear a roar of cheers and step out onto the wide open stage.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

After i get off stage i'm buzzing with excitement. I can't believe i actually did it. I went on stage in front of thousands of people. I think i'm still shaking but hopefully nobody will notice. I see Zoe come from the stage and head towards me. She brings me into a hug.

"Well done you did really well." She says

"Yeah you're a natural" Says Alfie from behind her. "Are you ok? U seem a bit shaky?" He adds

"Yeah i'm fine i'm just recovering from the nervousness thats all" I manage to say

I feel a dizziness spread through my head and my whole body begins to ache. My sight blurs and i feel the sensation of falling. I see the flash of the ground beneath me before all i can see is black.

===============================================================================

I wake up suddenly but all i see is darkness. Nothing at all. I hear people come into the room.

"You have to tell her" I hear someone say. I recognise the voice instantly. Zoe.

"I can't. She won't understand she thinks it was just a drunken game and nothing more." The voice definately comes from Joe. JOE. Why would he say that? Was he talking about me?

"Do you think it was a drunken game?" Zoe says. Then silence. "Exactly and you'll never know how she feels if you don't ask her" She adds.

"I'm not sure Zo' i feel ... different when i'm around her. I've never felt this way before." The voice that sounds like Joe says. Surely it can't be Joe. Doesn't he know how i feel? I thought it was obvious. "I think i might love her" He adds. OMG. It can't be Joe. Love me? We only just met but i can't help but feel like i want him even need him to be around me.

I slowly try and pry my eyelids open. They don't budge. I try again and this time they slowly lift and i feel like im holding weights on my eyelashes.

"Joe look! She's waking up"  I try to sit up but a wave pain shoots through my head.

Joe sits down next to me. I'm back at the house and lying on the sofa.

"Are you ok?" He asks me kneeling next to me as if i'm dying.

"Yeh i'm fine" I reply "What happened?"

"Well you fainted after you got off the stage. We took you to the first aid room and tey called the paramedics who said that you were fine just unconscious and that you would regain consciousness soon." He said getting quicker toward the end and letting out a breathe as if he'd just held it there for a long time.

"How long was i out?" I say trying to sit up and succeeding this time.

"A couple of hours" Joe looks at me weirdly and smiles

"What?" I say giggling afterwards without meaning to.

"Nothing. You're just pretty when you're tired" 

"So i'm not pretty usually?" I say trying to hide my blush. Me pretty? I think he might be blind. He just laughs not saying anything else.

"Do u want some soup?" He asks after a couple seconds of silence.

"What kind of soup?"

"Whatever soup you fucking want?" He says slowly his face getting closer to mine. Our faces so close i could kiss him without almost moving.

"Hmmm sounds tempting" I say breaking the silence.

"What me or the soup?" He mocks in a serious tone. I grab a pillow from next to me and whack him over the head with it.

"Soup, obvi" I say. My face goes up in flames and the heat rushes down my neck and all over my face. I probably look like a tomato im so red. he gets up and goes to the kitchen laughing to himself.
