At four in the afternoon, the show started.
The stadium could hold twenty thousand people, and almost every single seat was occupied. Everyone was holding red neon boards.
Though Eric's agency did not announce that this would be the last live show of Eric's career, a small group of people still caught the news.
After Eric finished performing his first song on stage, the audience erupted into deafening cheers, and Elliot felt as though his eardrums were about to break.
He glanced at his family sheepishly, and Avery, who knew that he was afraid of noises, immediately pulled out sound-canceling earmuffs from her purse and put them on Elliot.
"You are the best, Honey." Elliot felt more at ease.
"I shouldn't have brought you along," Avery said in resignation.
"This is just right, Avery. I can hear very little with these."
"You are definitely the first person to ever wear sound-canceling earmuffs to a concert." She chuckled.
"I wanted to be here with you and Layla. Besides, I'm kind of curious as well. You said that this is going to be Eric's last show. If I don't come today, I won't ever be able to see this again."
"His concert will be recorded and uploaded soon. He's had plenty of concerts throughout his career." Avery had watched countless replays of Eric's past performance and had been to a few lives.
The fact that they were friends aside, Avery loved Eric as a fan because he was a talented artist.
"I am not really interested in idols, but I'm kind of curious."
