Monique went to the side of the stage and peeked out. There were so many people and she was just told that more were outside of the building. She stared at the stage and saw the huge picture of Taylor. Under his picture was “March 14, 1983-May 6, 1999.” Tears came to her eyes. She slid down the wall and started to cry. She didn’t care about anything. Taylor was really gone it wasn’t a nightmare. She felt a hand on her shoulder.
“April go away I’ll be fine.” She cried out. She didn’t even look up because she knew it was her.
“Are you all right?” A male voice said to her. Monique’s tear stained face looked up. Her make up was running. She saw Zac Hanson’s face staring at her. He was wearing black baggy pants and a black tight shirt. He bent down to wipe her tears away.
“Am I dreaming?” Monique said outloud. Zac laughed.
“No you aren’t. My family and I are here to speak. You sound familiar. Have we met before?”
“No, but you spoke to April on the phone when I was over her house.” Monique took Zac’s hand and he helped her stand up. “Thank you.”
“Oh so you’re Monique.” He had tears in his eyes. Seeing him like this brought more tears to Monique’s eyes. “It just isn’t fair.” Zac put his head on Monique’s shoulder. Both of them cried into each other’s arms.
“Where is Monique?” April said outloud. She couldn’t find her anywhere and it was almost seven o’clock. She paced back and forth around the dressing room. She looked around. “Taylor was in this room and I was in the third row. I can remember everything. Oh Tay why did you have to leave us?” She didn’t know that she said it outloud. “I CAN’T DO THIS I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE. I’M NOT STRONG ENOUGH.” She let out a cry and bolted for the door, but someone stopped her.
“Yes you can. You have come this far and you have to go through with this. Please for Taylor’s sake.” Isaac Hanson said. He had on black jeans and a black tight shirt just like Zac. April looked up into his soft brown eyes which looked so painful.
“I didn’t know anyone was standing there.” She said walking back into the room and sitting on the white couch. Isaac joined her.
“I was just looking for Zac and I heard a voice in here. I thought maybe he was in here. So you lost Monique?” He put his hand on her shoulder.
“Yeah I have. I bet she is with Zac. Isaac can I ask you a question?” She put her leg up on the couch and got comfortable.
“Sure. I hope I can answer it.”
“Why do you think Taylor took his own life?”
“I don’t know. I’ve been asking myself that question for a long time. He was my best friend and its just been so hard.” A single tear fell off of his face and landed on April’s knee.
“Isaac its okay. He is with God now.” April said giving him a hug. Soon enough Monique and Zac walked in. They were getting ready to go on stage.
“April and Monique c’mon we are going to light the candle now.” April and Monique looked at each other. They just got done fixing their make up.
“You guys can do it.” Zac said to them. They hugged Isaac and Zac and walked to the stage.
“Here we go girly girl. Taylor, this one is for you.” April said as the announcer was talking to the enormous crowd.
