"Hurry up Chloe, we're going to be late", I say as I fix my hair in the bathroom.
Tonight was Chase's first night performing his song "21st Century vampire". He was performing in our auditorium and he was so excited. Chloe, nick and I got in for free of course and VIP seating.
I was excited for chase. He was doing what he loved and was doing it freely without feeling judged. He released a snippet of the song last night and a bunch of kids on the campus went crazy.
His parents and aunt Maria were coming, as well as my Father and Uncle Sam. It took them some convincing conserving they knew Chase a little too well. In the end though it worked out as planned.
"You ready loser?" I ask as Chloe nods, walking out the living room.
"Alright, let's go", I smile as she giggles, following me out the door.
Once we pick up Nick, we're on our way.
As soon as we get there, it's packed. Multiple girls screaming out Chase's name and this feels so unreal to me. A few years ago he was just a boy that I had slowly fallen in love with, now he's like a rock star.
My phone vibrates, I get it out to see a text from Chase.
Chase: Come meet me backstage for a good luck kiss ;)
I smile at the cheeky message. Oh Chase.
Me: Coming ;)
Chase: When you see me you will ;)
Me: Omg Chase. Stop lol
Chase: You won't be saying that after the show ;)
I laugh at the text message and go backstage to find Chase.
I knock on the dressing room door, he opens it, smiling wide. He pulls me in, closing the door behind him.
"I missed you", he whispered in my ear before kissing me passionately.
He looked good. He got a hair cut recently, but I could already see his hair growing back.
"You look good", I breath, after he pulls away from my lips.
"Thank you. I could say the same", he smirks.
"Are you nervous?" I ask as he nods his head.
"Yes. What if I mess up. What if I drop the mic. What if I shit myself," Chase says, eyes wide.
"You got this. You wont mess up nor drop the mic, and I'm pretty sure you won't shit yourself," I giggle as he laughs.
"Thank you. For coming out here. It means the world", he smiles as I blush.
"Good luck. We'll be out there cheering you on," I smile, giving him one last hug before walking out the room.
I go back out where Chloe and Nick are seated. Moments later the lights are turned off and Chase walks onto the stage.
"Hey guys, how are you doing tonight?" Chase asks as the whole crowd screams. Millions of girls from the campus, holding up posters with his name on it.
"This is my first song. I hope you guys like it. It's called 21st Century Vampire", he says as the whole crowd cheers again. Including, Me, Chloe, and Nick.
Dark circles under my eyes
No sunlight up in my sky
Can't feel the pain I'm immuneI don't get tired
I'm a 21st-century vampire
21st-century vampire
I guess I'm just meant to be sleeping all-day
I don't got no fucking life
I'm just a 21st-century vampire
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeahI'm not afraid to die
I'll make your boyfriend cry
I'm howling at the moonI don't get tired
I'm a 21st-century vampire
21st-century vampire
I guess I'm just meant to be sleeping all-day
I don't got no fucking life
I'm just a 21st-century vampire
Yeah, yeah, yеahSave your heart for someonе who's got oneYeah, yeah, yeahI don't get tired
I'm a 21st-century vampire
21st-century vampire
I guess I'm just meant to be sleeping all-day
I don't got no fucking life
I'm just a 21st-century vampire
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Once he's done singing the whole crowd screams and claps.
"I have one more songs for you guys tonight. I wrote this about a very special girl in my life. We've been through hell and back, but still manage to find a way back to each other.
I hear a guitar fade in and I automatically know what song it is.
I feel so alone in a crowded place
Every conversation feels so fake
Everything I touch always seems to break
I get so depressed when I hear your nameOh, I don't really give a shit if you stay
I don't really give a shit if you go
I don't really give a shit either way
Either way, I feel aloneI don't really give a shit if you stay
I don't really give a shit if you go
I don't really give a shit either way
Either way, I feel aloneAnd here we are
I'm the bad guy
And you're America's sweetheart
When the second verse comes on I lightly hum it and Chloe looks at me smiling, while I continue to look at Chase smiling wide.
"You're in love", Chloe whispers in my ear as I grin, slapping her arm playfully.
Oh, I don't really give a shit if you stay
I don't really give a shit if you go
I don't really give a shit either way
Either way, I feel aloneI just wanna say I feel so ashamed
Never really thought that you'd let me go
Now I got to wake up in all this pain
Everyday, I feel aloneAnd here we are
I'm the bad guy
And you're America's sweetheart
Everyone claps and Chase clears his throat.
He goes back stage for a moment while his band plays music softly.
Moments later he comes out smiling.
"Hey guys, I hope you liked it. I have some amazing news. I just got signed to a record label in LA. I couldn't have done this without your support or fundraising. I want to thank my amazing friends and lastly Bella. She's been with me through this throughout everything. My biggest supporter honestly", he smiles.
I don't know what hurt worse, the fact that we didn't have a 'label' or the fact that he was leaving me for his music career.
"Bella!" I hear Chloe call as I run out the auditorium.
