I stood in the middle of the stage with my breath caught in my throat. My mind was a jumbled mess, and the world around me appeared to spin.
I could hardly focus on what was ahead of me as sweat trickled down the side of my face.
My legs felt weak, and wherever I looked, I'd see the faces of the audience staring at me with looks of confusion.
.....It was a strange feeling.
I couldn't quite describe it.
I was there and yet didn't feel there.
All I could think about was the man who had been clapping just moments after.
'What was that...?'
From the overall relaxed attitude, and its presence.
I could only think of one person, and I forgot to breathe.
"Excuse me."
I was only able to snap out of by a certain tug at my shoulder and when I looked, Jeremy, the one who had handed me the award appeared beside me.
"Is everything alright?"
".....Yes "
