I stood backstage as Nick, Kevin, and Joe did their vocal exercises. I was ready but I was really nervous. Then, Kevin came over to me.
“Ready?” he asked with a grin.
“No,”.
“Just stay calm, I get nervous too,”.
“Really?”
“Totally. Just take deep breaths,”. I inhaled.
“And then you can let it out,” said Kevin. I exhaled.
“How many songs are you guys preforming?” I asked.
“Just like three or four. It’s a short concert,”. I nodded my head.
“Gotta go,” said Kevin. He walked out onto the stage. Then, Joe came over. He gave me and thumbs up sign and walked up onto stage. Then, Nick came over and kissed me on the cheek.
“You’ll be fine,” he said. I nodded my head and waited until I got the signal to come out. Thank god Hold On was the last song. I wasn’t ready yet. I didn’t think I was ever going to be ready. But, I knew I could do it. I had confidence. I was going to rock this show. And who knows? Maybe I can me a career out of it some day. Maybe some day. Just maybe.
