Sing My Heart Out

Marco POV

"Everybody shut up!" Hanna shouted. Everyone quieted down as she increased the volume on the TV. Alex had a concert today and Hanna, being her "biggest fan", really wanted to watch it. Somehow, she had ended up convincing the whole team and now we were all gathered around the huge TV.

"Wait for me!" Mario yelped, rushing into the room. He sat down next to me with his bag of popcorn.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" he asked, as everyone stared at him. Auba broke the silence by asking him, "Why didn't you bring the rest of us any?"

"Well, I'm not your servant so if you want some, get up and go it yourselves," Mario huffed.

"Jeez, no need to get all worked up,"Auba said, rolling his eyes.

Third Person POV

Alex pulled her ponytail tight for the tenth time.

"Gosh Alex, if you keep doing that you're going to have a forehead the size of Russia,"the stage manager scolded.

"Sorry, it's a habit when I'm nervous," she admitted sheepishly.

"Don't be. What do you have to be nervous about?"

"I don't know. I guess it's just been a while since I last performed."

"Don't worry, you'll be great."

Alex closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She climbed up the short flight of stairs to the stage entrance. With that, she grabbed her microphone and ran onto stage.

Back it Dortmund, Marco's eyes widened as Alex made her way onto the stage. She looked absolutely stunning. Her makeup accented just the right features on her face. Her outfit was causal yet fancy at the same time.

"Oh my gosh, she looks gorgeous!" Hanna gasped.

"You sound like a proud mother," Mario mumbled making everyone snicker. Hanna sent him a glare in the darkness.

"You okay?" Auba whispered to Marco who was staring at the TV.

"Huh? Yeah I'm good," he replied, snapping out of his daze. Auba shook his head, suppressing his laughter. He had known from the day they met Alex, that Marco had fallen head over heels for her. Marco was glad that Hanna had demanded the lights to be turned off to "get into the concert vibe". His cheeks were on fire and he was sure that Auba could hear is heart pounding and the heat radiating off his body.

As Alex began singing, Marco couldn't help but think of how perfect she was. She played football, spoke several languages, was clearly intelligent, always knew what she was doing, and her looks were just a bonus. That was just the start of the list in Marco's head. Her voice was incredibly strong and showcased her amazing talent.

Anyone watching Alex sing could tell that she really enjoyed it. The look of happiness on her face was contagious as she waved at her fans. She was passionate about what she did and each of her songs held meaning. She told her story through them.

The whole team watched in awe as she held a long high note before finishing her song. She was truly one of a kind. And Marco knew that. He also knew that he would have to make her his before she would be snatched away.

"Thank You so much for coming," Alex said, a huge smile covering her face. "You guys mean so much to me. Thank You for always being there for me and supporting me. I know it seems like I've fallen off the face of the Earth but don't worry. I'm still here. I'm working really hard to get some new music out so please bear with me. I love you!"

She blew a kiss to the crowd before rushing off stage. As she headed backstage, her phone buzzed in her coat pocket. She fished it out, glancing at the screen. She shook her head with a smile on her face, placing her phone back into her pocket.
