Now I am a rockstar (A Percy Jackson Story)

Chapter 27: Panicking! at the concert

2 days later

Luke/Percy's POV

I sighed, onstage and everyone cheering me on.
I laughed.
"You know I love you guys right?" I asked, "I wouldn't even be here without you, I really mean it"
Loud cheers were heard from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
I couldn't help but to grin.
"Okay, okay; thank you guys so much" I said "It's been a hard couple of days due to the livestream"
Everyone went almost silent.
"The media think I still need to be in rehab" I said "I mean, I've had enough trauma in my life to stay in a mental hospital for life"
I looked at my mic I was holding, my sea-green sparkling one.
"I've had a rough childhood and teen years but I'm away from it now" I said "I only get worse again they decided to try and reach out to me...it's bad memories yes, the song I sung on the livestream got me emotional yes. Big deal; it's in my past and does not define me"
"DON'T LISTEN TO THEM, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!" A random fan yelled out "WE ALL LOVE YOU!"
Cheers to support that came flooding through, making me tear up slightly.
"Thanks" I said "Now, as much as I would like to talk about this to you guys, we have a show to finish"
I looked at the crowd and smirked.
"Now, this is a one off thing for this show" I said "I'm so happy to share this with you"
Everyone started to cheer, excited.
"Now, let's see if you find the difference" I said and the band started the Panic! At the Disco melody.
Everyone started to cheer as I started to sing.

~15 mins later~

"Lay in the atmosphere
A casual affair (Hush-hush, don't you say a word)
Lay in the atmosphere
A casual affair
Woah!" I sung, finishing.
Everyone started to cheer as they heard the end.
I smirked and laughed.
"You really think that was the end?" I asked the piano finished "Who wants one more Panic! Song?"
Everyone cheered.
"Alright, let's do this song" I said as the familiar trumpet, trombone and sax sound sounded.
Everyone cheered.
This is one of Panic's most popular songs, most people know it.

"High, high hopes" I heard someone sing.
Some, who recognised the voice screamed with excitement while others were confused.

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes"

I walked to the centre of the stage, right in front of the band.
I noticed Mayla giving me a thumbs up from the side.

"Mama said, fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater, go make a legacy
Manifest destiny, back in the days
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said, burn your biographies
Rewrite your history, light up your wildest dreams
Museum victories, every day
We wanted everything, wanted everything"

I smirked and looked at the audience.

"Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting

Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes"
