Chapter Fourteen
"Come on Lily!!! You can do it!!!" I laughed as I saw Ray and Robbie cheering for me. But for some reason the butterflies wouldn't leave my stomach. I leaned down to talk to Travis.
"What do I do?" He took my hand and squeezed it.
"You sing, Lily. You've done this a thousand times. Just sing." My confidence scared the butterflies out of my stomach and I grabbed my guitar. As I took my seat and began to sing I was amazed to see everyone dancing. People were really enjoying my song. As something caught my attention I looked down in the crowd and saw Travis staring up at me smiling. With my newfound confidence I belched out the last lines of my song.
As I stepped off the stage I felt dizzy. My legs were wobbly and felt like noodles. I set my guitar down and felt as if I was going to collapse. I wound up stumbling over my feet and saw the floor rushing towards me. Just as I thought my skull was about to smash against the wooden floor I felt three pairs of strong arms gripping me. One pair was holding my right arm, one pair was holding my left arm, and one pair was wrapped around my waist. When I looked up I saw that Robbie had my right arm, Ray had my left arm, and Travis had my waist.
I tilted my head up to look at Travis and felt immediately light headed. The next thing I knew I was in my bed with Travis staring down at me. I tried to lift my head but it was so heavy.
"What happened?" My voice was hoarse and I sounded like a toad. I was so embarrassed that Travis was hearing me like this.
"You passed out. I guess the lights on you were too hot and the pressure of performing just tired your body. You've been asleep for about an hour." I blushed. I pulled my covers off of me and saw that I was in my pajamas. I quickly looked up to him. "Your sister changed you. Not me." I let out a sigh of relief. I stood up but wound up falling right into Travis' arms.
"My own personal knight in shining armor." I leaned my head up and out lips met. This is where I'm meant to be. Right here with Travis. I'll forever be in his arms. Or so I thought.
