Jackson blushed hard at Via's kiss and smiled walking toward the small band of people gathered to play the song and worked out the music side of everything before Hestia came over asking if he was ready.
[color=Red] "As ready as I can be." [/color] he said stepping into the circle of students as the music started playing and the attention was his. He knew the song so he just ran with it and everything his dad taught him about singing live. [color=red] [i] Just breathe and find a focus point always go back to it. [/i] [/color] he thought as he looked around and caught sight of Via. 
[i] "Oh!
A moment you'll never remember
And a night you'll never forget!
Ah!

All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah 
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah 
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya 
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers" [/i] He sang with all he had making sure to circle the crowd and enjoy himself with the song the whole time he sang. His voice sounding rich and warm with just enough of a rough edge to fit the song and the band who made it famous.

[i] "My life started the day I got caught
Under the covers
With secondhand lovers
Oh, tied up in pretty young things
In a state of emergency
Who was I tryna be?

Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it Over it.

All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah 
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah 
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya 
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers [/i] By the time he finished the second Chorus it seemed like the whole room was singing and clapping along bu he kept finding Via's face through it all using it to ground himself and keep himself calm. It was strange as nervous and odd as she made him feel he also kept him calm somehow he could't quite grasp it but he kept singing anyway.

[i] I was drunk and it didn't mean a thing
Stop thinking about
The bullets from my mouth
I love the things you hate about yourself
Just finished a daydream
Who were you tryna be?

Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it over it

No one wants you when you have no heart and
I'm sitting pretty in my brand new scars and
You'll never know if you don't ever try again
So let's try, let's try, let's try

All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah 
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah 
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya 
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers


All you sinners stand up, sing hallelujah 
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing hallelujah 
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya 
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers [/i] 
Jackson finished the song and tried to catch his breath as the crowd clapped and cheered but before he knew what he was doing he was walking. Not out of the circle toward his friends but right toward Via holding her eyes as best he could through the crowd when he finally reached her he wrapped an arm around her waist and boldly planted a kiss on her lips before breaking it and smiling before muttering.
[color=red] "Sorry didn't quite think about that until now." [/color] He said backing away and turning to leave to find his friends as Hestia now a bit startled began the ceremony.
