The new me.

-16-

Here goes nothing. I run out onto the stage holding a microphone in one hand and waving to the audience with the other. "How's everyone doing tonight?!" I ask. They all shouted 'Good!' In response. "That's good to hear! Before we start... This album goes out to the son of a bitch that cheated on me. That's right the one and only Kageyama Tobio." The crowed went nuts you could hear a plethera a diferent repsonses resonating in the stadium. 

"NO HE DIDN'T!" "WHAT?!" "FORGET HIM!" "YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HIM!" 

I put my hands up trying to silence them slitghlty to be able to speak again. And so they did. "Thanks guys..." I'm not going to lie I was teary eyed. They are always there to support me through everything. I couldn't ask for better surporters. "You guys are the fucking best..." I paused "I love you all!" They cheered once again. "Alright! So! Each song on this album basically represents every stage I went through and all the emotions I felt while recovering from being cheated on" You could see the realization on their faces. All of the lyrics in the songs all made sense now. "So... ARE WE READY TO START?!" I extended my arm out so the microphone was facing them. "YES!!" I put my other hand to my ear telling them to be louder. "YES!!!!" "That's better! Lets have a great night alright?!" And with that the first song started. 

I spoke in a low tone. "If I cry I don't even wanna hear it from y'all" I laughed slightly.

I began to sing soflty. I took the microphone off the stand and started walking towards the front of the stage slowly. The crowed was smiling from ear to ear reaching their hands up to me as I got closer to them. Some people had their phones out taking pictures or videos, others were simply watching and enjoying the moment.

Riding down, riding down

My hand on your seat
The whole way round
I carry band-aids on me now
For when your soft hands hit the jagged ground
Wheels aren't even touching the ground
Scared to take them off but they're so worn down
Promise I won't push you straight to the dirt
If you promise me you'll take them off first

The part of the song I dreaded the most was coming up. Dammit. I think while singing the last line of this verse. My eyes were already watering and I havent even started. I crouched down before singing and grabbed one of the young girls hands and smiled as she cried happily.

Love everything you do
When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do
I wanna ride my bike with you
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you
I'll pull them off for you

At this point tears are rolling down the sides of my cheeks. There was no hiding it now. I was still holding the girls hand when all of a sudden she let go and wipped my eyes and my cheek with her thumb. I gave her a warm smile and stood up reaching down to reach other poeples hands. 

Love everything you do
When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do
I wanna ride my bike with you
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you
I'll pull them off for you

I stood up and turned my back to the crowed heading to the middle of the stage and when I turned around everyone in the crowed had their phones in the air with their flash on. It was beautiful. They were crying I was crying. They were smiling I was smiling

Letting go, letting go
Telling you things you already know
I explode, I explode
Asking you where you want us to go
You've been riding two wheelers all your life
It's not like I'm asking to be your husband
I wanna make you mine, but that's hard to say
Is this coming off in a cheesy way?

Love everything you do
When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do
I wanna ride my bike with you
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you

I'll pull them off for you

Love everything you do
When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do
I wanna ride my bike with you
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you
I'll pull them off for you

"Alright for these next two verses I want all of you to sing these lyrics with me at the top of your lunsg alright? As loud as you can okay?!" They all yelled in agreement. I put my finger up in the air "Wait for it..." Everyone who didn't have their phones out were now getting them out wanting to capture this moment on video. "Ready... NOW!" The whole stadium began to scream the lyrics as loud as they could. It was amazing!

Love everything you do
When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do
I wanna ride my bike with you
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you
I'll pull them off for you

Love everything you do
When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do
I wanna ride my bike with you
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you
I'll pull them off for you

As I sang the last line of the song I pointed to the audience. The lights dimmed as I lowered my head and let my arms fall at my sides. They all began to cheer. Oh how I missed the feeling of preforming.
