Chapter 16 – The Rock Show.
"Oh my god I'm so nervous." Trish muttered and then began to say her lyrics over and over again in her mind.
Chris turned round and looked at her as she was pacing.
"Look you'll be fine. Just remember what I told you." Chris said reassuringly.
"What did you tell me again?" Trish asked looking worried.
Chris didn't answer he just looked back through the curtain at the crowd waiting for the show to start. Chris felt a slight pang of sadness as he had been excited about performing at Madison square gardens for a long time and now he wouldn't get the chance again for a long time. As they two were stood there the rest of the band came walking up behind them. They were a lot more excited about the show then Chris seemed to be.
As they reached them they all patted Trish on the back and then started to make their way on to the stage. Trish stood there frozen in time unable to move. All the preparing she had done wasn't working now as her nerves had taken hold of her.
"Trish." Chris said gaining her attention.
Trish looked round at Chris who seemed as though he felt the same about this as she did. Trish gulped and looked out at the crowd then to Chris. Chris walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders.
"Look don't panic okay. They came to see you so whatever you do they'll love it. Just have fun and if you forget the words just fake it." Chris shrugged.
"That's easy for you to say." Trish said.
"Trish I know you can do this otherwise I wouldn't let you. Just remember whatI tought you in the mirror" Chris smiled.
Trish began to breathe deeply. "Okay I'm ready."
Trish walked towards the edge of the stage where the rest of the band where looking at her waiting.
"Okay." Chris said behind her.
"Okay." Trish moved slightly forward.
"Trish." Chris called out.
Trish lookedover at him as he walked forward and gave her a hug. "Good luck."
"Thanks." Trish walked to the edge of the stage.
"Oh and Trish by the way don't forget the words." Chris smiled mischievously.
"Wha…" Trish didn't get a chance to finish as Chris pushed her forward onto the stage and the spot light was now focused on her.
Trish stood silently looking out at the crowd who were looking at her waiting. Trish gulped and moved forward to the microphone as she did the rest of the band began to play and the crowd began to go wild. Trish was still stood there frozen her nerves were now going crazy. Trish looked back over to her right and saw Chris stood there watching her with a look of anxiety on his face, he saw her looking at him and he smiled.
Trish coughed and then grabbed hold of the microphone breathing deeply she began to sing quietly. A strange feeling came over as she did as though all her nervous had suddenly vanished and she was feeling a lot more confident. Suddenly out of nowhere she found the courage and began to sing loudly and started having fun. It was as all of a sudden everything she had learned today was unlocked and came flooding to her mind.
By the third song Trish was in the moment and was having the time of her life enjoying every moment. Jumping up and down tot he music and interacting with the crowd. Every now and then she would look over to Chris who to her looked nothing but troubled.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The crowd was going crazy as the band finished theirencore and made their way off the stage. Trish having the best time ever was the last one to leave and was brimming with excitement.
As she walked off the stage she saw Chris waiting for her with a smile across his face. Trish began to jump up and down and was smiling wider than Chris.
"Oh my god that was amazing!" Trish yelled.
"You did a good job." Chris nodded.
"I can't believe I just did that but I loved it I mean I really loved it. You must get such a buzz every time you do it. The crowd were awesome and they totally loved me…did you see the part…." Trish was talking fast and very excitedly.
"You looked great." Chris didn't sound to enthusiastic.
"Maybe I should start a band…or I could join yours imagine…"
"Whoa slow down there tiger." Chris stopped still.
Trish finally looked at Chris properly and saw he his face wasn't as happy as hers in fact he looked worried still. Trish had put his quietness down to the impending show but that had been a success so now she was worried.
"What's the matter?" Trish asked.
"We need to talk." Chris said. "Come on."
Chris then grabbed Trish's hand and pulled her into the dressing room and closed the door. Then he sat her down and sat opposite her and sighed Trish was worried.
"Chris is there something wrong you're scaring me."
"I've been thinking about this all day and I've finally decided that I want you tomorrow to go to Vince and tell him..." Chris sighed as the nest few words were hard for him. "And tell him I'm injured and I can't wrestle on Sunday." Chris said sounding very serious and thoughtful.
"But Chris…" Trish was stunned.
"I've given it some serious consideration and it's the best and right thing to do." Chris continued.
"But this is your dream." Trish said confused.
"Yeah it's my dream not yours and you shouldn't have to do it for me. I shouldn't have even asked you, it's not fair on you or anyone else." Chris said sounding a little upset.
"Chris I don't mind I told I'll do it for you." Trish smiled.
"No you've done enough already. Tonight was awesome and you didn't have to do it but you did and I really appreciate it." Chris still had hold of her hands.
"Yeah but what if you never get the chance to main event Wrestle Mania again?"
"Well I guess I'll have to live with that." Chris was looking down.
Trish sighed and stood up then walked over and sat next to Chris. Putting her arms around him she sighed also.
"You know I used to think you were a jerk but now I know your not."
Chris nodded silently the pain was too much to speak.
"Okay I'll do it." Trish said quietly.
