I walked into the tour bus, with my fists pumped in the air.
"That was amazing!!" I exclaimed.
"Maya you have said that at every stop." My best friend and manager Riley said behind me.
"I know but I can't believe I'm on my first world tour with my best friend!!" I said.
"Yeah!!!"
We randomly hugged and then released the hug.
I went into a different room where our bunks were and sat down.
I started singing after high school, to take my mind off specific things that happened in the past.
I shook off the bad memories and started to take my makeup off.
Riley came in and jumped onto her top bunk happily.
Hey, we might be 23 but we are forever kids at heart.
"Remember that New York City is our next stop." Riley said, crawling into her bunk.
I bit my lip. I haven't been there since high school...
As if she was reading my mind, she said "don't worry it'll be fine."
And with that, the lights were out.
-the next day-
I came out of the bathroom, setting my pajamas on a chair.
The concert was in three hours and I didn't feel the same way I did at the pervious shows.
I don't know why.
Riley came in and was smiling. "I can't wait to see my parents and auggie!!"
I smiled back. I was happy for her. I wish I had a family to come back to, but oh well.
"I can't wait to see them." I said.
I finished doing my hair and makeup, taking a deep breath in the mirror.
-at the concert, backstage-
I looked at myself in the mirror one last time.
"You ready??" Riley said behind me.
I turned around and smiled. "Ready"
Some security moved the curtains out of the way for me and I stepped onto the stage.
I looked out into the crowd. It was a big crowd. Maybe one of the biggest crowds yet.
I scanned the front row and saw the Matthews sitting there.
I waved and they waved back.
So far, so good.
I made my way to the microphone and shouted into it. "Well hello New York!!"
The crowd cheered for me and I scanned the crowd some more.
That's when, I caught a certain face in the crowd. Front row.
My heart became to flip and I had so much mixed emotions.
I couldn't do this, not in front of him!!
"U-uh Ill be right back!" I stuttered into the microphone, looking directly at him.
Then I dashed away.
I didn't run backstage so Riley wouldn't question anything so I went to a different room.
So many memories filled my mind, it was overwhelming.
Suddenly, the door opened. And there I saw... That face in the crowd.
"Maya...." He said.
His voice was still the same and his hair flowed the same way it always did.
"What are you doing here?" I said immediately.
I watched him look down at the ground, searching for answers.
"I miss you." He said simply.
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Lucas please get away from me."
I started to walk away when I tripped on the stairs. "Ahh!!"
I was ready to fall on my back but I was caught by something.
"Maya.. I am so sorry about the past. I was an idiot." Lucas said.
I tried not to make eye contract, but it was hard since I was in his arms.
I didn't stop him.
"Go on." I said, agreeing he was an idiot.
I heard him take a deep breath and then continue. "Ever since that day, I have searched for you, searching and searching, regretting everything I ever did..."
He leaned me up so I was facing him again.
"To give you this..." He pulled something out of his pocket, small but beautiful.
"Lucas I--" I started.
Lucas put a finger to my lips. "A promise ring. I promise to whatever happens I will always love you no matter what."
He slipped it on my finger and then walked away, not looking back.
