*Skylar Pov

"So today we have a special treat for you. We are preforming all of your favorite songs by us on stage!" Vic yelled while I poured myself coffee.

"Oh umm." Then what he said hit me. I thudded down the coffee pot and my mug. "No way! I am so excited! Wait how do you know which songs?" I asked.

"I plugged your phone in my mac book and could see the most played songs by us. So I assume those are it!" He cheerily answered.

"Oh my gosh this is so awesome!" I grabbed Vic's arms and started jumping up and down. He laughed and jumped with me.

"Augh shut up! Some of us want to sleep!" Jaime yelled half-awake. Vic and I stopped and tried to stifle our giggles, failing tremendously.

"Shoot Sky, is it okay if I call you Sky?" I nodded yes. "Okay cool. Sky we don't have anyone to sing the girl part on Hold Till May, can you fill in?" Vic asked urgently.

"Me what no! I can't sing!" I whisper-yelled leaning my face close to him.

"I've heard you sing the whole song in the shower, all of the guys have, you sing it really good, better than Linsey. Please the show depends on it." Vic pleaded.

"Vic, I don't know I've never preformed in front of people." I spoke with panic laced in my shaky voice.

"Just look at me the whole time, you'll be fine." He said his face inches from mine.

"Fine, but I want to watch the concert, not sit behind the stage the whole time." I crossed my arms.

"Okay I can make that happen, you just will have a mic for the whole thing." He smiled. We walked back into the bus.

"Hey guys, she'll do it!" He smiled and they all whooped, besides Mike who was shooting me disapproving stares.

"Only if I get to be in the crowd for the majority of it!" I interjected.

"So she'll just have a mic, and when the song comes on she'll make her way to the front, with a spotlight on her-" Tony was cut off by Jaime.

"And then the security will lift her over and up onto the stage-" Jaime was cut off by Tony.

"And she'll sing her part! The crowd will cheer and everybody will go nuts!" Tony, Jaime, and Vic started cheering for affect.

"So I'm wearing a blue high low dress in a moshpit with perfect makeup and shit? It will be destroyed by the time it gets to the song." I sighed, looking at the dress, and stylist that Vic got for me.

"And these!" Vic added, holding up sparkly gold heels.

"Are you wanting to kill me?!?" I yelled.

"He wants you look perfect, now go put dress on!" The little asian stylist threw the dress at me and nudged me into the bathroom. I took my clothes off and quickly got dressed. I looked at myself in the mirror and gasped. I don't look half as bad as I normally do. I still look bad, just not an eyesore anymore. I sighed and turned the knob to the bathroom door and twisted it. When I stepped out, I looked over at Vic, who's jaw dropped to the floor. I insticivily hid my arms behind my back and slouched down, breaking our gaze.

"No no," he walked towards me and pulled my arms from behind my back and placed them by my sides, "Hey look at me." He used the tip of his index finger to lift my chin to meet his gaze. "You look stunning."

"No time to waste! Shoo! Do funny voice things!" The asian lady shooed Vic away from me and pulled out her makeup kit.

*1/2 hour later

"Okay all done. You go look in mirror." She commanded. I walked into the bathroom and gasped again. This is what it felt like to look pretty? The stylist walked in. "You like it no?"

"Yes I love it thank you!" I felt tears forming in the back of my eyes. I hugged her tightly.

"You choking me!" She gasped. I let the poor woman go. "You check on Vic, he making funny noises." And with that she let herself out. I walked back over to the bunks to find Vic, doing vocal warmups. He needs them, he's not singing three lines.

"Alright guys, who's ready for the next song its a favorite!" He looked at me and winked. I gulped, totally not prepared. They started to play the first few chords when a bright light temporarily blinded me, only for like a second or two. I saw Vic chuckle and I stuck my tongue out at him. I started to slowly walk up towards the stage threw a parted crowd.

She sits up high, surrounded by the sun
One million branches and she loves every one
"Mom and dad, did you search for me?
I've been up here so long I'm going crazy!"

And as the sun went down we ended up on the ground
I heard the train shake the windows
You screamed over the sound
And as we own this night
I put your body to the test with mine
This love was out of control
3-2-1 where did it go?

Vic sang. I was almost half way to the stage, taking my time.

Now don't be crazy
Yes now of course you can stay here.
Been in a touring band for going on ten years.
"Big deal," she said, "I guess you're official."
I only said it 'cause I know what it's like to feel burned out

It gets you down,
We've all been there sometimes
But tonight I'll make you feel beautiful once again

This time he sang directly looking at me, I felt like Vic, could see my beaten soul at that moment, and I was completely terrified and yet at peace, a total confliction that I was happy with feeling. In the amount of time that it would take someone to snap their fingers, my fear escaped my body, and was filled with a new emotion, one I had only felt once. Could it be? Could I love him. No way this is crazy, I just met him. I tried to escape my thoughts and focus on getting over to the gates quicker, but couldn't. I can't love someone I just met, it'll hurt both of us, if anyone finds out. I felt someones arms grab me and lift me up. Only then did I realize I was already at the gate. I was hoisted up on the stage.

If I were you I'd put that away
See, you're just wasted
And thinking 'bout the past again
Darling, you'll be okay

Vic no longer was facing the crowd, he was facing me, and the crowd just saw the sides of us.

And she said,

I inhaled deeply and began my part, not breaking my gaze from Vic, walking on clouds towards him.

"If you were me, you'd do the same
'Cause I can't take anymore
I'll draw the shades and close the door
Everything's not alright and I would rather..."

'Sing the last part with me' Vic mouthed.

It got to the last part and I wasn't focused on the lyrics or the song. All I could think about was Vic.
