Time skip to Monday

Stephen's POV

Holy shit, it's the 2nd night of the US tour and I'm so nervous about my tour starting back up again. I previously went on tour for my 2 EP's What was, What now? and Easy on my Eyes. I absolutely adore my music and I'm glad that I'm where I am now.

It's getting close to showtime and Jesse comes up to me "You ready for tonight Troubadour?" "As always Jesse" Jesse is my bass player, he's been with me since the beginning. He's honestly the best bass player ever. I slick back my hair and get ready for the show. I have to get into character before I go on.

I open my phone and decided to DM Adeline to make sure she's going tomorrow. She's honestly so beautiful and her voice is angelic. I think the boys think I have a crush on her and to be honest. I kind of do. Shes so beautiful and she's so sweet. I just think it's too soon to tell.

Instagram DM........ Adeline Monroe
(Bold is Adeline, Italic is Stephen)

stephensanchezoffical: Hey Adeline, just wanted to confirm with you that your still coming to tomorrow's show :)



I shouldn't have done this. She probably thinks I'm so weird for this. I see her starting to type and I get excited. Chill out Stephen, she's just a fan. She probably doesn't even like you like that.


addie.mon: Hi Stephen! Yes me and my best friend are still going tomorrow.

stephensanchezoffical: Amazing! I can arrange for y'all to be at the meet and greet if you would like.

addie.mon: Oh no, you don't have to do that. You've already done so much for us.


stephensanchezoffical: No please Adeline, let me do this for you and your friend.

addie.mon: Ok, I would stop you! thank you so much Stephen! Go rock the show tonight! :)


I see the smiley face and I immediately start blushing. She's probably just being friendly.

stephensanchezoffical: You should get an email soon about your updated tickets. Thank you so much for your support! :)






Ok, it's showtime now. I hear the intro music after the backstage, I put my in ears in and get ready to start this show. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the tale your about to hear, that happened a long long time ago. The characters is this story are no longer with us, but they live on as apparitions haunting these very rooms to share their never-ending tale of woe.... This is the story of 'Angel Face'. Sit back, relax you're listening to the WWLB radio, Now playing The Troubadour Sanchez"

The light go down and I make my way to the microphone to start singing 'Something about her'

"She was kinder to me than most girls would ever be
I'm over the moon and I'm sad to see it end so soon
Oh, what have I done? I've never thought this way for love
Convinced that it is all because

There must be something about her
That you love, don't you, dear?
Something about her terrifies all my fears

She sits in a smile, with eyes looking through
What's the point of all this music, if I'm not here to dance with you?
There must be something about her

It'd be wiser for me to run away from all I see
I can't resist, what good is love if not to miss
Your hands or your eyes or the way that yours just look in mine?
I'd die to live for any little part of this

There must be something about her
That you love, don't you, dear?
Something about her terrifies all my fears

She sits in a smile, with eyes looking through
What's the point of all this music, if I'm not here to dance with you?
There must be something about her (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Must be something about her"

"How we doing tonight LA?" I faintly hear everyone screaming and I smile at myself "Oh my LA you are giving me everything."

"This next one is for my darling Evangeline."

'Baby give it all, I'd give all just to make you mine
And If you need a minute, honey I'll give you all my time, all the time.
Do you need the Sandman?
Or a phone call to Mr. Jones?
(Hello Mr Jones)
I'd put your dreams to sleep
With rattling bones.'

I continue to sing Evangeline as I look out into the crowd. I could do this for the rest of my life and I'd be happy doing it. Seeing all these people singing my songs back to me is unreal. It's a surreal feeling. I finished singing and continue the show as normal. I sang 'I Need You Most Of All' 'Only Girl' 'Oh Pretty Woman' 'No one knows' 'Doesn't Do Me Any Good'

Finally it's time for High, this is one of my favorites to perform live. "The Moon Crests and I would like to dedicate this song to that no good rotten son of a bitch. This is High."

'Pull you underneath the Slumber
Into the light before the thunder
Tell me is there any wonder
About where we stand?
Little Honey in the summer

Fell in love with Hunter
No I can't have this

I'm gonna get you so high
It's gonna send you reeling
Baby, gonna feel it
Baby, gonna feel it
I'm gonna go down all night
It's gonna get you kneeling.
Baby can you feel this?
I'm gonna make you feel this
Ow'


I continue to play song after song until we need the night with 'Until I found you'. I finished 'Until I found you' and looked at the crowd and said "Thank you so much LA, Y'all have been wonderful to us." I blow a kiss to everyone in the crowd and walk off the stage. Me and the boys get off the stage and we all hug and congratulate each other on a great show. Jesse looks at me and says "Better save that voice for your real life Evangeline Stephen." "Oh fuck off Jesse"

I hate to admit it but he's right. Adeline is something special. There's just Something about her (see what I did there?) that pulls me in and I wanna get to know her more. I need to see her tomorrow.
