Not Just A Fan

Chapter 39

The secret is kept between everyone else again, but Eric and Naomi can see Esters cheeks glowing and has that smile they have not seen in a while. Drew needed to concentrate on the show and is glad to have her back into his life. This time, he will not do anything to lose her. The band was called out and makes their way onto the stage, as the crowd is chanting Drews stage name "Absent". The lights go down, and the screams get loud. The intro starts with the lights working together, Myles goes first and starts smashing on the drums, then the spotlight hits on the rest of the band and Ester can see the crowd clearer. Drew walks on stage, and the high-pitched screams get noisy, he welcomes the crowd with his first track. She watches him jumping about singing his heart out. Sometimes, throughout the concert, he would peer at Ester and smiles, and her heart skips every time.

When they played the track "Into heaven", Drew would come up and stand beside her, singing into each other eyes and desiring to embrace again. It gave her an idea that they could write a duo track one day, but she needed to get her game back into the gig. Drew gave the band a mini-break on stage, talking to the crowd.

'Now, someone here tonight is celebrating their birthday!' The crowd responds by cheering, 'Now you all already know her from the TV show and is here tonight on the piano.....Ester Harris.' She gives the crowd a gave when the spotlight turns to her while she blushes. 'And with that, we have a surprise for you.'

Drew walks up near Ester and has the microphone away from him,

'Let's do that song, "Undefeated"?' he asks, and she looks at him in shock.

'But we haven't practised it that much....we're not ready.' she replies,

'Yes we are...you want that adventure?' Ester sees the eager in his light grey eyes, and she nods, 'Then let's do it together.'

He jumps off and tells the rest of the band the change of plan, after he spoke to Myles, he looks at Ester confused, and she shrugs her shoulders.

'So, Ester and I had written a track, and as a present, you're going to be the first people to hear it tonight!' The crowd interacts again, and Myles lifts his drumsticks to count in. She starts the synths of the track,

It's time to say goodbye,

I prayed and prayed and tried,

I want to keep you alive,

Set you free, let it be.

Say your love words lullaby,

Hold me until the time,

Set you free, let it be.

Ester joins in on the chorus and watches Drew every move,

Living in the dark,

How much you broke my heart,

The truth is near,

It hurts me dear,

But I'm willing to let go,

And I know this our final goodbye,

Promise me you'll stay strong,

And find the light.
