In the dark

0.2 the concert

The performance was so amazing. Everybody was shouting singing the song I wrote. It honestly felt like a dream.

That feeling, it was so amazing. Standing in front of a crowd screaming your name. I never wanted that feeling to end.

Now I was backstage removing my makeup when my manager, Elle, came in.

"Oh honey that was so amazing I'm so proud of you!" She said giving me a hug and kissing me on top of my head.

Elle was like a second mom to me. She was there for me when I was away from my family and never made me feel alone.

"Thank you so much Elle I had such a great time it was amazing. All those people shouting my name, screaming to the lyrics I wrote it was awesome." I said replaying the memories from the concert.

I finally removed my makeup and got into some sweatpants and a hoodie and decided to face time my parents but before I could my best friend, Viviana called my name from behind.

We became friends in eighth grade when I went to a party for the first time. I was super awkward and shy at that time but she was wild! She was the troublemaker, still is. Which is kind of ironic since we're nothing alike but as the say, opposites attract.

She's been there for me since day one. Growing up I struggled with anxiety, but I've gotten much better at it since I've been taking therapy sessions.

She's my person. She has been there for me every step through my career. I don't know what I'd do without her.

My parents don't live with me as they're still back in Pennsylvania where I grew up. I'm currently living in New York in my own apartment working on my career.

Me and Viviana share the apartment together and live together.

"Nadine! What the hell girl you killed it tonight!!" She said giving me a hug and I hugged her back.

"Thank you so much vivvy I had so much fun tonight!!" I said pulling back from the hug.

"Tell you what, how about you remove your makeup and we'll go back home and watch 10 things I hate about you while eating pizza?"

"Sounds perfect!!" I said already getting excited.

I went inside my car with security around me. Last time I performed, after the concert this crazy guy started following me asking for my autographs and when I declined he started to get physical.

Since then I had security around whenever I was done with a performance.

As I'm checking my phone, I have so many Instagram posts and stories I'm tagged in about the concert and I was smiling throughout the car ride looking at the posts.

As I went on twitter to see if anybody had anything to say about the concert, I got a notification saying I was mentioned in a tweet.

I clicked on it and turns out it was actually from Nate Ryan!

"What, why would he tag me?" I muttered under my breath.

And then I finally read the tweet.

It said "@nadinegrace okay so like your songs are good and all but let's be honest,
Girls only get famous for writing songs about their exes, so the next time you want to a hit song, don't write about your anxiety lol."

"What fuck! Who does this dude think he is!"
