Searching Through The Shadows
Chapter Twenty One
It had been a week since I arrived in Mineral Town and it was the night of the band's concert, "You ready, Chels?" Skye asked while he patted my back. "Definetly, still a little nervous but I'm sure that will go away." I said smiling as I looked out at the crowd from backstage. There weren't many people but more than I had ever sang in front of, "Great! Just remember since this is your first time on stage, I will do the talking." Cliff said reassuringly as he walked up behind us, I nodded at him.
We walked out onto the stage and the crowd cheered and clapped, it sent a whole new wave of nervousness down my spine but once we started to play our first song it turned into a feeling of excitement. "I'm ready now." It was the best feeling in the world to be on stage in front of all these people who came here to see us.
I wanted to stay in this moment forever but since that couldn't happen I soaked in all I could.
Vaughn's P.O.V.
I was walking back to my apartment from being at work all day, it wasn't much just a few rooms with only the essentials but it was enough for me.
I was passing by a place that held concerts when I heard a familiar voice emitting from the inside, a sweet tone that just drew me into the place. I bought a ticket from the box office just outside and walked inside to where a band was playing, there weren't many people but there were enough that if I was up there I would be nervous as hell. I looked up at the girl singing, she looked so full of life as she danced around the stage.
"Right I want you to be again,
I love you please see and believe again.
Here you are down on your knees again,
trying to find air to breathe again,
right where I want you to be again,
see and believe!"
The song ended and the girl returned to her place in the front before the drummer spoke up, "Okay! This is our last song! It was written by our lovely new singer, Chelsea, so please enjoy!" he yelled into the mic. I widened my eyes and my mouth hung slightly agape as I stared up at her, "Chelsea..." I whispered before I started slowly pushing my way through the crowd, almost up to the very front.
"Sometimes I'm a selfish fake,
you're always a true friend,
I don't deserve you,
cause I'm not there for you,
though I wish I would be."
She looked around the crowd but her eyes stopped searching whenever they laid on me and got the most heart shattering look of sadness in them before she closed them and continued singing, with the first of many tears rolling down her cheek.
"I want to be there for you,
and be someone you can come to.
Swirling shades on purple,
slow dancing in your eyes,
the sun kisses the earth,
and I hush my urge to cry.
'Cause I hear the whispered words,
within you're a masterpiece, beautiful...
you speak the unspeakable phrase,
I love you too.
I wanna be there for you,
be someone you can come to,
the love... runs deeper than my bones,
and you, are beautiful, don't you know?"
I love her... so much.
Chelsea's P.O.V.
He's here, I can't believe it... he heard my song, he actually heard it. I'm so embarrassed but proud of myself at the same time, I kept looking down at him even after the song was over and I could tell he knew the song was for him by the look on his face. I couldn't help myself any longer, I jumped down off the stage and pushed a few people out of the way just to grab onto that white bandanna of his then pull him down into a gentle kiss. He was shocked at first, he tensed but soon relaxed and grabbed onto my waist, a few people beside us went 'Aww.' and that's what brought me back to reality.
He pulled away and I looked him in the eyes, they had tears starting to form in them. I pulled him into a hug, "Come on, go back up there." he said kindly, I nodded my head and climbed back onto the stage so Cliff could finish saying something before we would go backstage again. I kept my eyes on Vaughn the whole time, I was hoping this wasn't a dream. I had been miserable without him all those months, he was the first person I had ever fallen in love with and I was hoping it stayed that way.
"Thank you! All of you!" Cliff yelled at the end of his speech then everyone but me started to walk backstage, I went to the front of the stage and held out my hand towards Vaughn. The people standing in front of him moved out of the way as he walked up to me and took my hand, I helped him up onto the stage then we walked to the back hand in hand.
I stopped whenever I felt his warm arms wrap around me and spin me around in the air, there were tears coming from Vaughn's eyes as he sobbed silently into my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around his neck then intertwined my fingers in his hair as he set me down and planted another kiss on my lips, "Hey." I said softly as I grabbed his hat off his head and wiped away his tears, he smiled at me. A real smile. I placed the Stetson on top of my head and smiled back at him, "I love you." I said happily, "I love you too."
