Chapter 5

I set my things down and left to get ready to perform Amnesia on the AwesomessTv stage. Before performing I decided to practice in the closet so I could avoid everyone around. Yet I couldn't pay attention. I knew Nash and I weren't a thing or haven't even been on a date but I got to fascinated with the idea of getting to know someone and have a relationship. I walked into the closet, which was some what spaced out, and sat down with my guitar.

I drove by all out places we used to hang out getting wasted

I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted

And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you? When he says those words that hurt you

Do you read the ones I wrote? Sometimes I start to wonder was it just a lie? If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

By the time I finished the song it was already nine. I was about to miss my performance. Shit. I ran out of the closet, grabbed my guitar, and ran as fast I could possibly could. Once I got to the stage I was happy they were barely announcing, as I got ready to head up I felt someone lightly tap my shoulder. I turned around to meet with the same blue eyes from yesterday, Nash.

"Hey Alexa!" He greeted me.

"Oh hey Nash, I uh have to go." I said sadly.

"Everyone give a warm welcome to Alexa Whiteman!" Hunter March said.

I went up to the stage and I was so excited, yet scared, I've never performed in front of over five hundred people, but it didn't matter, what mattered is my fans.

"Hey guys so today I will be performing a song you might know well. This is Amnesia by 5 Seconds of Summer !" I said as everyone cheered. As I started singing I felt happy I was here, but still couldn't stop thinking about Nash. I felt like actually liked him, but I shook it off. Once I finished the song I felt accomplished. Everyone was cheering and asking for more, so I did 

 "You want more?!" I yelled out and everyone screamed. "Okay, this is an original it still needs some work, but bear with me." 

I began to sing my song and everyone swayed with their phone lights out. This was my first time ever singing an original  and it felt great to share something with the people I love. It was only a few minutes later and everyone cheered. I smiled and I could feel a tear slide down my cheek. This was great.

"Thank you everybody, I hope you guys have a fantastic day!" I said as I left the stage. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Nash come closer to me, but I didn't want to talk to him. I tried to walk as fast as I could, but it was no use, he caught up to me and grabbed my arm. 

"Hey, are you ok?" He asked and furrowed his eyebrows. 

"Yeah I'm fine Nash, now I have to go" I said getting out of his grip.

"Alexa are y-"

"Nash I'm fine! Now leave me alone!" I cut him off. "I don't even know you so you shouldn't worry about me."
