CHAPTER 33

AMELIA

I’ve seen a lot of controversy going around that my brothers are fame hogs.

But little does everyone know, I like being in the background. I enjoy not being the center of attention. Playing the drums is therapeutic for me. It temporarily eases my stress off my shoulders. But tonight, for at least a couple of minutes, I’m going to be the center of attention. I’m confident in my singing abilities. The problem is, my stress might take over every logical part of my brain.

The last thing I need is to have a panic attack onstage.

The roar of the crowd intensifies when a backstage worker walks onto the stage and places a chair right smack in the middle. I focus on the thousands of signs that are being held up in the crowd instead of my shaking hands.

My grumpy brother walks up to me as he takes off his white electric guitar and places it on a stand.

“I’ll try not to barf,” he yells in my ear in an attempt for me to hear him over our fans’ screams.

“How do you think I feel?” I yell back. “I want to run away and not look back.”

Handing him my sticks, I walk to the edge of the stage and muster up my fakest smile for the thousands of people watching me in person, waiting eagerly to see what’s next.

“I hope everyone’s enjoying the show so far!” I speak into my pink microphone, which earns me thousands of responses from every direction. I smile once the yells die down and wait for Leonidas to get ready on the drums. “I know you all love surprises, so I’m really excited to announce that there’s a special guest tonight!”

Levi’s name is screeched from every direction, causing a tornado of butterflies to erupt in my stomach.

“I’m glad to hear he’s a hit,” I muse, giving everyone my signature grin and walking around the chair. “Well, I have a lot of pressure to bring him out, I guess.”

Playing with my earpiece to tune out everyone around me, I stare at Trinity in the crowd to ground me, to relax my muscles.

I can’t give off the impression that I’m nervous. My “boyfriend” shouldn’t scare me. He should comfort me. Every gossip magazine, fan, and body language expert will come to the conclusion that this relationship is fake if I don’t relax. We don’t need that rumor being spread like wildfire.

Not now.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the attention seeker himself, Levi Miller!”

The crowd goes crazy when I turn and find Levi strolling toward me casually, looking like he’s just going on a morning walk. He smirks my way at the introduction I gave him.

As usual, he looks so hot in such an effortless way as he wears baggy black cargo pants and an oversize black tee. His lips lay an innocent kiss on my cheek as he passes, but to me, the kiss is anything but that. It sparks something below my belly that isn’t welcome.
