Your POV

There's only a few weeks left before Rising Dragon goes on stage again. This time, I was feeling the pressure on making sure that this show is perfect. I know Uika is going to come to the show since she's been super supportive as of late. However, she said she was going to bring a certain someone with her; Sakiko.

I know she's supposed to be her childhood friend and all of that, but ever since she first introduced me to her, I have been feeling on edge, especially with what she said to me.

"A stupid little game, huh?" I muttered to myself.

I'll show Sakiko and prove to her that Rising Dragon are serious musicians.

As I am practicing my guitar in the living room, I heard a knock at my door. I walked over and opened the door. Standing on the other side was Uika, and she was grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, good evening, Uika." I said. "What brings you here?"

"I wanted to check on you to make sure you were okay." She replied.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, to be honest, I thought you would be upset because of what happened with Saki-chan." She said.

"Oh, right."

"You're not mad at her, aren't you?" She asked.

I took a deep breath before I gave her my answer.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be okay." I said to Uika.

Uika smiled as she took my hand, caressing it gently. Then she said...

"Listen, even if Saki-chan doesn't think your music is good, I like it, and you were the reason why I wanted to play the guitar in first place."

I smiled as I let Uika's words.

"And you inspired me to keep going." I said.

Uika chuckled.

"I guess we both inspired each other then, huh?"

"Yeah, that does seem to be the case."

Location - Main Stage

Today is the day of the big show. A lot of people came out here to see us, and to be honest, I couldn't be more happier. I can see Uika in the front row, and she waved at me.

I waved back at her, but then I can see Sakiko looking at me with an annoyed expression. I just shrugged it and start the show since I know these people have been waiting long enough.

"Greetings, everyone!" I call out to them. "Are you ready for a good time?"

"Yeah!!!"

The audience's support is more than enough to keep me going. However, when I see Sakiko, she gave me a thumbs down, and I start to get even more annoyed than before. But I took a deep breath, and I try my best to maintain my focus.

"Alright, everyone. Here is the first song on the list."

The other members and I started playing an instruments, and unfortunately, this is where I make a grave mistake...

Hero - Skillet

I'm just a step away, I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
We're fallin' off the edge today
I am just a man, not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate
It's just another war
Just another family torn
We're falling from my faith today
Just a step on the edge
Just another day in the world we live
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time
I've gotta fight today to live another day
Speakin' my mind today
My voice will be heard today
I've gotta make a stand, but I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today
It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time
I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time
Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero
I've got a hero
Livin' in me
I've gotta fight for what's right, today I'm speakin' my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I need a hero
I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time

After the song...

I messed up big time... I was so focused on trying to impress Sakiko with my skills as a guitarist and vocalist that... I wasn't paying attention to the mistakes I was making. The audience didn't waste anytime in bringing this up.

"What the hell was that, (Y/N)?" One person said.

"Were you even trying, man?" Another person asked.

"Bro, that was the weakest performance I have ever seen in ages." A third person said.

"I don't think I want to stick around to see the rest of the show."

"Yeah, same here."

One by one, they started to walk away.

"Guys, wait!" I said to them, but to no avail.

To make matters worse, even my band members started to walk away from me. I can see the disappointment on Sakiko's face as I hear her say...

"Like I said, leave the performing to those who can actually perform."

I fell to my knees in defeat upon hearing those words. The show is ruined, and it's all of my fault...
