Her VIP badge caught the light. She felt like she was a part of something as his dad made room for her. She scooted in next to Paul and smiled politely at him. She had grown accustomed to being around his father again.
"He's doing great tonight," Paul proudly bragged. He gave Selena a reassuring smile and nodded towards the stage. "He's playing that new song," he whistled at her, keeping his voice low so that others don't overhear.
"I know. It's going to sound amazing," she piped in. He smiled at her reassurance. She looked back towards the stage and saw Nick standing in the center with his mic. He looked dapper in his suit. They made quick eye contact and Nick sent her a swift wink.
He straightened up his posture and looked honestly toward the crowd.
"This song is called Stay," he called out, a Texas accent evident in his voice. The crowd boomed out a cheer. He looked down and started to loose himself in the music -the very thing that Selena loved the most about him.
She heard the passion in his voice as he cried out the bridge. He collapsed onto his knees and bent his head, completely surrendering himself to the music, to the song, and to the person he was singing to. She wanted so desperately to be that person. And no matter how much she wanted to believe the song was for her, a nagging feeling otherwise. And for the first time in a long time, Selena started to cry.
A/N Probably my least favorite to write. It was hard. Not much to write about because I didn't want them to fight about this, I just wanted her to realize this. Anyways, next post will probably make you guys happy, haha.
