I can feel the hum of the crowd, it's electric. The energy, the synergy jolts my entire body and I'm more than ready to get out there and rock all night long.

"Huddle up, guys," says Emmett along with Rose, Jasper is a step behind them.

The four of us come together and hold hands. We don't pray or say anything. It's just what we call our zen moment. We each like to get into our own head space, calm any nerves and get present in the moment.

After a few minutes, Emmett throws his hand in the middle and we all follow suit.

"Time to rock this joint!"

We all give a shout of agreement and head to the side of the stage. Once again, we all start our pre-show rituals. Emmett twirls his drum sticks in the same figure eight patter over and over. Jasper taps out the bass line for the first song and Rose hums a lullaby.

Don't ask me or her why she does that. I almost lost my head when I did.

My ritual is to recite the set list in my head. Don't ask me why it calms me, it just does.

We get the go ahead from the stage manager that it's time. We reach for our instruments and we hear Emmett counting down the beat of the first song. Jazz comes into it with the bass line and a few measures later Rose and I come in.

It's the first duet we ever did way back when, but it's a fan favorite.

Time flies, the crowd is screaming and singing and I can't think of a better way to kick off a tour than in our hometown. We finish up our forty-five minute encore and I am euphoric.

"Thank you, and good night Chicago!"

We give the audience one last wave and then it goes dark. Stage hands take our guitars as we exit and we silently make our way backstage and into the dressing room.

"That kicked ass," shouted Emmett. He swings Rose around and kisses her soundly.

"Dude, that is my sister you're making out with, get a room!" Jasper clasps his hand over his eyes.

I snort and laugh. Rose and Em have been like this since day one. One would think once they got married they would have cooled their jets. If anything, they're worse.

I flip them both off and make my way towards the bottles water sitting out.

"Jealous, little bro?" snorts Emmett.

I shake my head, "Nope, Rose is far too high maintenance for me."

That earns a laugh from Emmett which gets him a smack on his head from Rose.

I gotta hand it to my sister-in-law, she sure knows how to put Em in his place.

A/N: Please leave me your thoughts.. I will love to hear them. Thanks!
