Chapter 21

HELLO!!!! ATTENTION!!!! BEFORE YOU READ THIS CHAPTER!!!!

I have just published the first couple of chapters of my new book:

Sidemen Imagines!

Requests are open, so I would love it if y'all would go read it, and possibly leave requests for me to write about, all the information is in the first chapter! I am here to make your ideas become real!

My heart was racing out of my chest as I walked out onto the stage, amidst thousands of screaming fans. It was so surreal seeing it for the first time, and was a feeling I would cherish forever. 

And right now was my time to shine, and give these people the best night of their lives. 

"Hello Rome! I'm so so so excited to be here tonight! Thank you for coming, let's have the time of our life, shall we?" I shouted, that being the cue for the first song. The track for Looking At Me started, and so did many screams coming from the audience. I started dancing around, giving the performance my all, just about hearing people chanting along. 

These people knew my songs, word for word - how crazy was that?!

The song finished, but like rehearsal it transitioned straight into Pushing 20, and it seemed like the crowd loved the transition as much as I did, yet more screaming. 

I finished Pushing 20, slightly out of breathe now, but remembered I now had a little break, some time to talk to the audience. 

"Hello everyone! How are we all doing tonight?" I shouted into the microphone, laughing as I heard everyone scream back a mix of replies. "Yeah, cool, me too!" I said sarcastically, moving along the stage to read some signs. 

"I must say, I'm loving some of the signs you guys have made. And you! In the front with the face paint, very cool, I'm a big fan! As you all know, this is my first show of the tour, and I'm having an amazing time already, you guys are incredible, and my heart is bursting with love for you guys! With that, let's get onto the next song shall we? Here's Why!" I shouted, the signal being received and the track starting up. 

The performance of Why went very well, it also went down with the audience one. I enjoyed performing this one live, and once again it reminded me of Harry, so that was definitely a bonus. 

Another seamless transition earned an applause from the audience, and the performance of PRFCT went down well with the audience. Another time for a quick break. 

"I'm curious, is there anyone in the audience tonight not from Italy? Shout for me if you're not from Italy!" I said into the mic, not really expecting many people to shout. 

But no, by the sounds of it there were a fair few people shouting. 

"Oh wow! Uh - shout if you're from France?" A few people shouted. "Oh shoot! Well, thank you to everyone that travelled to come here tonight! I am very grateful, and I promise I will be back to Italy soon enough. I love your country more than anything, it's beautiful," I said, before giving the signal for the next song. 

Tell Em started up, and it went well, as did the performances of In My Bed and Space. Before I knew it, it was time for Exhale, but first a little talk before it. 

"Alright. Last song on the album, you all know what it is. Tonight will be my first time performing it to a live audience, and it's a very personal song to me. It's a very vulnerable song, and at first I wasn't even going to put it on the album, but I decided it would, because even if just one person listens to this song and resonates with it, that's one more person I've helped, and I'm glad about that. Remember you're never alone, and please reach out to someone if you ever need help. I love each and every one of you, here is Exhale!"
