Shadya walked backstage when she finished her last song of the night. Now she needed to pack up so the other person getting the gig could set up. She packed her guitar and her picks before grabbing her seeing stick and picking up her guitar to put on her shoulder.

She tapped her way offstage and to the back parking lot to put her things in her car. She put the case down and leaned the stick against the car as she fumbled through her pockets to find her keys. She blinked and checked once more before letting out a huff. She left her keys on the table backstage.

*sees keys and looks for her*Hello did anyone leave these keys on the table backstage?

(Ummmm...this a one on one RP. It means its closed except for me and my friend Insane.)

oh sorry

(It's alright )

A young man no older than twenty-one entered backstage from the door the other girl had just left through, his features obscured from the poor lighting. He held a guitar case in one hand and two sets of keys in the other, only one of the sets was to his car. He had found the other laying on a table near the door so he picked them up, hoping he could find the owner while he was on stage. Stepping towards the curtains, he brought the hand that only held the keys up and twitched the curtains open a fraction.
"Average." He murmured to himself, releasing the curtains and dropping the keys into his pocket. Going over to the longer table that sat backstage, he put his guitar case down upon it and unzipped the case. Once open, he pulled out his Ovation Standard Elite 2778 AX Acoustic-Electric Guitar and walked towards the curtains again.
Instead of twitching the curtain open again, the young man threw them open and walked on stage like he owned the place. Swinging his guitar around, he launched into the opening to "Wake me up."
"Feeling my way through the darkness, Guided by a beating heart. I can't tell where the journey will end, But I know where to start."

Shadya tapped her way back in with some help from a stagehand. She found the table and searched it but they weren't there. Then she froze.

The song he sang was amazing. He sounded better than her even and she was blind. Shed smiled and searched for a chair to sit. Sitting in one when she found it, she listened to his performance. She only left once to grab her guitar and make sure no one took anything before returning to her listening.

Launching into the final verse of the song, the young man paid no attention to the crowd that he had captivated. He was totally absorbed in the music, body and soul.
"Didn't know I was lost, I didn't know I was lost. I didn't know I was lost, I didn't know." He finished, standing up and bowing while the audience sat open-mouthed staring for a couple seconds before jumping to their feet and yelling their heads off. Smiling, the young man pushed the curtain aside once more and stepped backstage despite the shouts for an encore. "Whew, got to keep from shaking." He muttered to himself, putting his guitar back into it's case on the table. He didn't notice the girl sitting in the chair, or the stick beside her that announced her as blind.

Shadya noticed he was done before standing up and walking to where she heard his footsteps." Excuse me? Did you find a set of keys back her on the table? I see to have forgot them in my hurry." She didn't look directly at him, just in his general direction.

"You were really good. You got more applauding than me." She smiled gently at him.

Finally noticing the girl, the young man dug in his pocket and pulled out the key he found. Tossing it to her, he turned back to his guitar case and finished packing it up.
"I've been playing for a while." He said, trying to not make her feel bad. Picking up his guitar case, he turned and smiled at Shadya, no idea that she couldn't see it. "If you want I can give you lessons?" He offered, scratching the back of his nervously.

She couldn't see the key but jumped when it landed nearby. She leaned her seeing stick against the wall and knelt down to feel around the area she heard the clinks on the floor." We could give each other lessons
I spent nearly 9 years in collages studying music."

Micheal didn't really notice that she had no idea where the keys were even though they were only a couple inches from her left hand, he just noticed that she was pretty in this lighting. "Nice, I haven't been to collage to study music but I've been playing for about thirteen years. And that sounds like a plan."

"Well you've been playing longer than me." She laughed." Umm....could you get my keys? I'm blind so I can't see them." She blushed as she stood up and felt around for her seeing stick as she tucked her long, blonde hair behind her ear. Her grey blue eyes were staring in front of her, useless to her.

His face turning a fierce shade of red at his mistake, the young man leaned down and picked up the keys from where they rested on the floor and put them into the girl's hand. "I'm really sorry, I didn't know." He apologized, running a hand through his fiery red hair.

She smiled." It's alright. Your the first person not to notice right away. Most just laugh or feel sorry for me." She put her keys into her pocket." I'm Shadya by the way. What's your name?"

Scratching the back of his head, his face turned almost the same color as his hair. "Do you want the shortened version or the whole package." The young man laughed a bit, trying to get some of the tension out of himself.

"How about you full name? Mine is Shadya Falor Sakira." She smiled." My name's pretty much based on fantasy because my mom loved reading so much even though my father picked my middle name."

"Ok. Brace yourself." He warned with a slight laugh, taking in a medium sized breath. "My name is Michelangelo Argul Benjamin Hafti Ane III, which I get from both my mother's line and fathers. Most people just call me Michael though..."

"Well that's a really interesting name. Its a please to meet you, Michael." She smiled. She held out her hand to shake his." It really is a nice name."

Taking her hand, he shook it like a gentlemen. "Well so is Shadya." He smiled, forgetting that she was blind.
