Then the spotlight flicks off and I’m pitched back into darkness. Silence greets me, and for a moment all I can hear is my heavy breathing and the pulsing rush of blood in my ears.

Whistling.
Stamping of feet.
When the lights turn back on, every single person in the auditorium is on their feet for me. My gaze automatically goes to my Breakers at the back of the studio, only they’re no longer there. Instead, one by one they step up onto the stage, looking at me like I’m the most precious person in the world. They look at me with adoration, with love, with understanding, kindness, and a fierce protectiveness. Xeno swallows hard and I see the emotion leaking from his gaze as Dax puts an arm around his shoulder. York and Zayn are grinning, their love and affection obvious.
“Kid,” Dax murmurs. “Come here.”
I run to them, to my boys, and I throw my arms around Dax’s waist, pressing my tear-stained cheek against his chest. Just like that, they wrap me up in their love, gathering around me. They don’t give a flying fuck what anyone thinks.
This is us.
Fuck you, David.
