The Secrets Within [ON HOLD]

Chapter 1

Present

Erin's POV:

"Mama!" My four year old daughter, Alaina, shouts as she runs into the living room.

"Hey, Princess," I say with a smile as she climbs into my lap.

"Look," Alaina says giving me a piece of paper with her drawing on it.

"It's beautiful Lanie," I say as I kiss her head.

She giggles as there is a knock on the door. "I'll be right back," I tell Alaina.

She is too distracted looking at the paper as I set her on the couch. "The favorite uncle is here," my brother, Henry, says as I open the door.

"Uncle Heny," my daughter says happily as she walks over.

I laugh at how Alaina says his name and Henry lifts her up, "Hey Cutie Pie."

"Thank you for coming, Henry," I say as I grab my things.

"Of course, got to take care of my little sister and my adorable niece," my brother says as he tickles Alaina.

"I'll see you later, be good for your uncle," I say as I look at my daughter.

"Okay Mama," she says and I smile.

"Love you Princess."

"Love you too Mama," she says and kisses my cheek.

"Thanks again Henry," I say as I walk outside.

"Of course, have fun at the concert," he says and I wave.

"Evening Ms. Barker," my body guard says as he opens the car door.

"Evening Jax and I told you to call me Erin," I say and he smiles.

"Will do."

Jax gets into the drivers seat and we make our way to the venue. As we get closer I here shouting. The shouting is louder as we park. I put my sunglasses on as Jax gets out. Two more body guards make there way to me as Jax opens the door. I step out and the flashes start.

I wave at everyone with a smile as I make my way inside. "Let's go people, she's here!" My manager and best friend since high school, Willow, shouts as I enter.

"Hey Willow," I say with a smile as we go to my dressing room.

"What's up stupid," she says with a smile making me laugh.

"What do we got?" I ask once I'm in my dressing room.

"So, we got a sold out arena," Willow says and I smile brightly.

"Awesome," I say as I change into my outfit.

"We were also given word that there are some athletes here," Willow says and I look at her confused.

"Who?" I ask as I put my shoes on.

"Some from NFL teams, some from WNBA, and some from the USWNT," she says and I freeze.

Willow's eyes go wide when she realizes the last part. "What?" I ask as my makeup is being done.

"I had no idea Erin, I would of told you," Will says and I sigh.

"It's alright, let's just hope they're not here," I say once my makeup is finished.

"You got this," Willow says as she stands in front of me.

I nod and we make our way out. I hear the cheering from the crowd as the introduction video starts. I get hooked up with the equipment for my microphone. Once I'm done I'm handed my microphone and go stand on the platform under the stage.
