The Night We Meet

July 31 2016: Best Wkend Ever-Disaster-->Friends (P 9)- Bye BF- Startin Over

I walked off the stage and saw my friends were back there watching me, and Rachel and Gillian were back in back stage. "AHH!! I screamed! Hugging all my friends. Then someone turned me around, picked me up, and...     Gave me one of the best kisses of my life...         When Connor put me down, I just looked at him with my hands on his chest, and smiled into his eyes. "Hey, you!" I laughed.     "Hey." He smiled back at me. "That was your first headliner show, and you were absolutely amazing out there tonight." He said     I kissed him and he smiled at me. "Thank you, baby and I'm sorry about everything.. I know you don't me mentioning or performing anything that's special to us. I just thought that when I was writing out my set lists for all my shows for the VidCon people and I already put Remember and Forget on there, I just thought that..."     He interrupted me with a kiss to shut me up. "It's okay." He said looking me the eyes. "It's really okay. I swear I am not mad. If anything I am concerned, I'm shocked that you took that big of  step and shared that song with everyone... With the world." Connor said with his hands around my waist.     "Well, if these people are going to trust me enough and let me live my dreams, then I want to trust them enough to not to have to hide anything from them." I said. He gave a little laugh and smiled at me. We were just about to kiss again, when...     "Guys," We turned to see Rachel Ballinger standing right by the entrance from the wing to the stage listening to the crowd. "I think crowd wants Sydney back out there..." She continued. I looked at her weirdly and walked over there. I took a second and listened for myself.     "That's me... That's my name that they are chanting... They want me back out there." I looked shocked.     They want an encore...     "Well, go!" Gillian said.    "Should I?" I asked them.     "YES!!!" Everyone screamed at me. Even taken back, the band, the dancers, and I went back out there. I turned to the band before we stepped out there, and I spoke to them. "Do you guys know 'Long Live'? ...By Taylor Swift?" I asked them.     They shook their heads no. "Alright, then... Rachel!" They both turned to me. "Ryan. Hand me my guitar." She gave it to me and I took it. "Alright, just follow my lead. I said. Once I hear that you guys got it, then I'm going to get rid of my guitar and I need you guy to have my back. You guys have been amazing so far, just one more song. Alright? Can we do this?" I asked them, trying to pep them up.     "Yeah!!" They screamed.     "Alright. Hands in!" I said. "Z100 on three... One... Two... Three!!"     "Z100!!!" we all screamed alright.     I processed a speech and an introduction to the song really fast in my head, tuning my guitar really fast, questioning why it wasn't tuned still.     "Alright. Let's go!!" I said. We walked out there with our heads held high. "Hi guys... You wanted one more? Well, I guess the Aussies are... Long Lived!!" I spoke into the microphone in the stand. I started playing and stood in front of the mic. "I said 'remember this moment' in the back of my mind. The time we stood with our shaking hands, the crowds in stands went wild." I sang starting off as a solo... I continued playing the guitar and smiled to the crowd, singing with my eyes closed. "We were the Kings and Queens and they read off our names. The night you danced like you knew our lives. Would never be the same." The band started to pick up the tempo a little bit and the drummer started to joint me. "You held your head like a hero on a history book page. It was the end of a decade but start of an age." At this point the lead guitarist and the pianist joined in. "Long live the walls we crashed through. How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you. I was screaming..." At this point the whole band was with me and feeling the music. So, I took off my guitar, know that they had me and walked the stage. "Long live the all the magic we made.. And bring on the magic we made. And bring on all the pretenders. One day... We will be remembered." I continued knowing that the band has me and the dancers were amazing, and     That I didn't have a thing to worry about...     "I said remember this feeling. I passs the pictures around, of all the years that we stood there, on the side-lines wishing for right now. We are the Kings and the Queens. You trade your baseball cap for a crown, when they gave us your trophies and we held them up for our town, and we held them up for our town." I sand walking the runway and touching eager hands. "And the cynics were outraged, screaming 'This is absurd!' 'Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans go to rule the world..." I said making my way down the stairs. I walked up and down the isles becoming surrounded by fans. "Long live the walls we crashed through, how the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made. And bring on all the pretenders. I'm not afraid!" I sand dancing with some fans. I walked back to the stage. I smiled thinking that there was nothing more that I could ask for. "Long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you I was screaming long live that look on your face and bring on all the pretenders. One day, we will be remembered..." I was now back one the stages at the middle of the runway, "Holding on to spinning around. Confetti falls to the ground. May these memories break our fall!" I sang falling back into the dancer's arms, as actual confetti falls to the ground and on the crowd. I smiled not knowing that Z100 had that set up. I got back to my feet. "Will you take a moment, promise me this... That you'll stand by me forever. But if, God forbid, fate should step in and force us into a goodbye. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures... Please tell them my name." I sand hitting the high note. "Tell them I hope the shine..." I sang. I smiled at the crowd. Not believing how loud they were screaming, chanting, and singing along. I smiled knowing that the song was almost over. "Long live the wall we crashed through. I had the time of my life, with you. Long, long live the walls we crashed though. How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you." I sang walking the runway. And across the stage, I saw some one in the font row videotaping me and I went over to her and he boyfriend. "And I was screaming long live all the magic we made, and bring on all the pretenders... I'm not afraid!" I sang to the girl and her camera on her phone. I wound up taking her phone from on her pretending that I was my vlogging camera and showed the camera to the crowd. I gave it back to her and she practically fainted. I stopped the video and too a picture with her and then continued on finishing the song. "Singing, long live all the mountains we moved. I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. And long, long live the look on your face. And bring on all the pretenders!!" I sang my heart on the other side of the stage, trying make a strong ending. I walked back to the mic stand and put the microphone back in there. "One day, we will be remembered..." I sang and then the stage went completely dark and the band went completely quiet. I smiled even though the audience couldn't seed me. "Thank you!" I said into the microphone. "I love you, Aussies!!!" I said and walked off with the band.     And there we have... And another successful show.     I went back backstage with my friend they all hugged me and I couldn't whipped that stupid-looking smiled off my face.     I walked over to Rachel B and thanked her for making me go out there for one more song. But, as I was talking to Rachel, Gillian turned up the radio were Elvis said. "And there you have it, YouTube Star, Sydney Kutzin's first, ever, headlining performance." And just then we all looked at each other for a minute in silence and then about a good minute later, started cheering.     This could not be happening... Z one-freaking-hundred!!     "Now, lets go meet people!" I said pumped even though it was about quarter to eleven at night.     "I want all of you coming with me." I announced to the circle. "You were all apart of the show, so I want you guys to come and meet viewers with me."
    "Yeah!" Trevor yelled.     "Alright!" Rebecca said.     "I did nothing, but alright!" Connor said. I laughed.     "Let's go!" Rachel B said.     We all started walking, except for my non-YouTuber friends.     I looked back at them. "Are you guys coming?" I asked them.     "We aren't YouTubers." Rachel R. said.     "We shouldn't go and meet people who only wanted to meet people like you guys." Gillian said.     "We didn't know we could." Riley added.     "Come on, you guys have been in videos of mine before, So stop being ridiculous and get your buts over here!" I smiled at them and they followed me to hall were we did the meet-and-greet.      This is the dream... Me and all my good friends going to meet people who actually enjoy my music and my YouTube videos... This is amazing.     And then it went all down hill fast...
