Black Void

"Thomas, Thomas Sanders?"

"What is he doing?!?!"
"I-I don't know! kiddo there calling you!"
"He seems to be in a state of shock"
"mmmMMMMMmmmm"

Slowly Thomas takes a step, then another and another until finally both feet are planted in the center stage. Every burning gaze burrows into his skin making him shake softly. The other four that were in the wings of the stage, watched nervously. Roman, the one dressed like a fine prince was pacing because if the bad start. Logan walks onto stage, clearing his throat and nervously adjusting his tie.

"What act will you be doing for us Thomas?"
The voice called out

Thomas only stood not opening his mouth to answer. Logan notice this and spoke in a soft tone "Thomas, come on. Breath" Logan's voice seemed to snap him out his gaze and he looks up at the croud of over hundred people. Logan spoke out

"I will be singing a song from a musical called Be More Chill"

Thomas quickly stuttered out the words making Roman yell out. "What is happening Thomas?! Virgil! Let him go!" He wips to the darker side which was biting his lip. "I'm not doing anything princy! I..I can't..." Patton, the father figure of the group turns to them "guys it's ok! Look Logan's coming back! Roman your on!" Logan steps back into the wings and nods to all of them with troubled look in his eye. Roman flattened his sash and darts out to the shaking boy. Virgil looks up to logan and asked "Everything ok?" Logan shook his head "he never stutters..."

Slowly the song went on, Roman by Thomas side singing along with him and the others still watching. On cue Patton walks out about to say his line but when he opened his mouth nothing came out. Patton looked up at Tomas with shock and confusion, Roman couldn't even speak. Virgil quickly put his hood up and logan looks away. Roman stuttered before singing once again making Patton sink back clearly hurt. He retreats back to the others and logan was the first to comfort the dad figure.

Everything was going wrong
