Chapter 45

Sabrina

"I'm so nervous" I mumble to josh in the dressing room only a few minutes before I was due to go on "nervous about what?" He asked

"Well this is the first time I've performed by myself..without Peyton with me..What If something goes wrong or I mess up? What if I forget the dance or they aren't happy to see me" I panic

Josh chuckled lightly, sitting beside me on the couch "you'll do just fine, love. You may end up loving it" he replied. I pouted, internally sarcastically thanking , him for the reassurance.

"Miss Carpenter, your ready to go on" someone opened the door. My eyes flew to josh's again "go on" he ushered with a small smile. I sucked in a breath, I guess your doing this by yourself

I find myself comparing the two, Peyton would've come with me to the stage door..josh didn't. I felt more comfortable..more into Peyton then josh..but josh is here now, and Peyton isn't

Peyton isn't here, Sabrina.

I reached the door to the trap room, heading through to stand on the platform that was currently below the stage. The beginning beat to almost love began playing on a loop, fans screaming as the lights around the stage flickered above me, figuring something was about to happen

I down bit my lip, the stage rising to main level "The moment when the light is red before the go..the moment when the curtains down before the show..the moment when your done but maybe just one more, that's how I feel before I get you all alone.."

I sung the song, managing to keep up with the dancers behind me. The crowd cheered loudly as I rose through the stage, realising that I was his opening act as we decided not to tell them beforehand

"Miami..my first solo performance.." I smile as I finish the first song. The crowd cheered, "for those who don't know me, my name is Sabrina Carpenter" I giggle lightly

"I'm so excited to be the opening act for you guys!..I must say though, I'm very nervous" I add in between cheers just before the music to the next song started

I made it through wish you well and needy, the music slowly transitioning into the next song, "I'm a motherfuckin train wreck, I don't wanna be to much, but I don't wanna miss your touch, and you don't seem to give a fuck.."

I sucked in a deep breath as Peyton's part started, focusing all my attention on the dance because I don't have to sing until the next part. I was almost surprised that I didn't cry my whole way through the song, that I managed to keep going

"So come light me up, so come light me up my baby..a little dangerous, a little dangerous my baby, A little less conversation and a little more touch my body..Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you!"

"Thank you Miami!" I finished my set, going below stage to the dressing rooms where josh sat. "I could hear you from all the way in here..and wow" he stood up as I walked in the room

"Was it good?! I really tried!" I pleaded. He nodded, giving me a tight hug "it was amazing, well done" he smiled "josh..you ready?" His manager came into the room

Josh looked down to me, kissing my cheek before leaving the room with her. I looked around the now empty dressing room, pulling out my phone, my heart stopped

"Sabrina Carpenter opens tour for Joshua Matthews' all American tour in Miami, Florida. Fans question if this is why she left Peyton Meyer's Up All Night Tour.."

"Sabrina Carpenter replies to a comment asking if Peyton Meyers newest single 'Before you go', was written about her. Carpenter replied with "Try Serena" leaving fans wonder who Serena is.."

"So how did Sabrina Carpenter and Joshua Matthews meet? How did the British sensation find the upcoming artist, and how did she become his opening act"
