Ed stared at the audience before stepping from the shadows behind the stage, where he had stood. The spotlight appeared around him, and his guitar.
He began strumming his guitar.
He did not find the spotlight daunting; he had been doing this for a long time.
He started singing a song, that he had wrote right after his brother died.
*When I'm Gone by Three Days Grace*
He felt that without a doubt, that he would die, and leave people behind, that cared deeply for him, just like his brother did.
He knew, that he could not hide away, and that his personal life would always be well-known, as long as he was famous.
*Who You'd Be Today by Kenny Chesney*
He had written 'Who You'd Be Today,' about his brother as well.
He missed him, dearly.
They had only had eachother for the longest time.
Al loved May Chang a lot, and he wrote love songs for her.
Ed had, originally, refused to sing them, but after Al's passing, he sang them to honor him. 'Honey Bee,' was one of those very songs.
*Honey Bee by Blake Shelton*
He, now, tried to get along with May, in an attempt to honor Al, as well.
*Shattered by Trading Yesterday*
He felt as if life wasn't worth living, and he wanted to be with Al. (Wherever people went when they died.)
He felt lost without his brother's guidance. His brother always knew what to do.
