Fix Me

No Way

*A little later than i proposed but still an update. Please enjoy! (:*

"Tinleigh! My love, are you ready to see our opning act?"  Why does she have to ask? Of course I am.

"Well, obviously!" 

"Okay, She's in that room."

"So, am I supposed to go in or...?"

"Yes. Go in!"

"There is nobody in here..." I am so confused until I realize it's me, I am the new opening act!

"Ta-Da! It's you!" 

"Oh no, way. No freaking way. I can't go out there." What a horrible surprise. A horrible, horrible idea as well!

"Come on! please? You have waited too damn long for this. I will not let you waste another fucking day not fulfilling your dream!" Fisty lil sucker!

"Alex, I don't have anything prepared! I'm not warmed up. I'm not dressed for the stage. Just overall not a great time."

"It is fine, my love. I have just the song and the band already knows everything. You will, too! Don't worry about attire, you look great,"

"Like always!" Ashton adds.

"Anyway, You can come do a quick warm-up with me." Well, I guess that is it. I am going out to sing. 

"So, what is my song?"

"Not telling!"

"You aren't telling me? I think I have had enough surprises for the day. "

"Will you please, just trust me with this? I know what I am doing and I have plenty of reason to believe you will do fantastic!"

I do my warm-ups and make my way out to the stage. It scares the hell out of me because the biggest crowd I have sung for was the school talent show and only about one hundred people showed up. 

I'm standing waiting for Ashton to tell them who I am. Alex was supposed to but Asthon insisted he do it. We gave in, obviously. "I am literally going to pee my pants, Alex!"

"You're going to be fine. Just shake the nerves lose, take a deep breath and work your magic!" She is great with calming me down but I am still on edge. What if they hate me? What if people only tell me I'm good because they don't want to hurt my feelings?

"Okay!"

"Well, anyway, here she is. The one and only, sexiest girlfriend I have ever had, Tinleigh Gertrude Santado!" Great description, love.

"Thank you, babe." I whisper in his ear as we cross paths. He kisses my cheek adn wishes me luck.

"Hi, everybody." I am a bit unsure as to how I am supposed to talk to the crowd. But they are generous and give me a cheer for those two common words. "I am Tinleigh. I hope everyone is enjoying their night. Are we?" 

They all cheer. I hear a dude holler that I looked sexy. Don't know how I heard that over it al but I'll take it. Making a mental note not to tell Ashton unless he pisses me off and I want to make him jealous or something. 

I tell them a bit more about myself and then point to the band, as Alex told me to do when I was ready. 

Give Me Love By: Ed Sheeran. I should have known, it is my favorite song. I begin to sing.

"Give me love like her, 'cause lately I've been waking up alone," I literally cannot believe I am doing this right now! It feels like a dream. I am so calm and full of energy and ecstatic all at the same time. Where did my nerves even go? "Now, now, give a little time to me we'll burn this out, We'll play hide and seek and turn this around, all I want is the taste that your lips allow," This is literally the best feeling of my life, "My my, My my, Oh giveme love... Thank you all for that! I feel so alive!" I say and then sing the hidden track, The Parting Glass, that usually plays after.

They enjoy that as well. When my turn is up Alex comes out and rocks the house. Ashton and I goof off and sing along. Beers in hand and kisses being stolen here and there. All around a great night. 

"Fun night, huh?" Ashton breaks the silence that lingers in the car.

"Oh, it was amazing! I enjoyed being up there, now I know how you and the rest of the guys feel performing!"

"It's exhilarating. You know, I knew you were talented but geesh. Videos do not do your voice justice. you are definitely one of the rare artists that has to be seen live to get the full experiece. Like Ed and MJ and 1D and my boys and I, of course!"

"Well, thank you gorgeous!"

"You're welcome, beautiful! I love you!"

"I love you, too!" I retort and he kisses me at the stop sign. 

I wish everyday were like this.
