#Chapter90
Nate brought me through the crowds towards our seats. William sat a few seats away from us to keep a watch-ful eye on us from afar. Many people recognised us but Nate communicated well and they seemed to un-derstand to let us be.
I waited anxiously for Thomas's turn, by the time it came my hand was gripping Nate's thigh with everything I had. Nate picked up my hand and wrapped his warm fingers around them. /" breathe Loretta/" he whispers. At first, it worked but then our Thomas walked out onto the stage with his guitar.
Thomas's eyes refused to lift from his feet as he nervously walked on to the stage. The audience clapped along, just like they did with every contestant but both me and Nate jumped up to clap for him. The sound of cheering below us forced my eyes down where I saw Thomas's parents, who were almost emotional. I couldn't imagine what they must be feeling right now but I'm sure they are very proud of him for doing this.
