Ryder's POV

It's around 8pm, and we're at standing in the change room at Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani. A security guard walks into the room and looks at us. "New Romance is about to finish their set."

"Thanks," looking at my band mates. "Let's do this." We head down the tunnel and wait for the band to be announced on the stage.

Stepping out of the shadows I look around the stadium and see rows and rows of seats filled with people.

They are dancing in their seats as New Romance's set comes to an end. The crowd cheer.

The lead singer steps forward and says. "Have a good night Tuscany." He blows them a kiss as they step off the stage.

Walking down the stage the lead singer Brian looks at me. "Hey, Ryder."

"Hey, Brian. You were great up there."

"Thanks, man. But we both know that Saving Ryder is who they're all here to see. It's been great performing with you the last couple of months. However, tonight was the last night for us."

"I didn't know it was you're last night with us. If I did we would have done something for you."

He shakes his head. "It's better for us to leave this way. Thanks for letting us play with you. The band and I are going our separate ways. It's what's best for us in our personal and professional lives. Bye," Brian walks away, and that's the last I see of him.

'Saving Ryder, Saving Ryder, Saving Ryder,' is chanted throughout the stadium.

The band and I head towards the stage and step on it. The chanting gets louder as we get ourselves situated in the stage.

Moving up the to the microphone I yell. "How are we doing tonight, Tuscany?"

"Good," the crowd yells.

In front of the stage are people who are squashed together in a mosh pit, screaming our name.

A smile spreads across my face. "It's good to see you all tonight. We're going to start the night off with a song I wrote after a break up. I'm sure you know the name of it. It's called Moving On."

The guys start playing their instrument and I sing into the microphone.

"Everyone says it gets easier,
Once you break up,
That's a lie,
It takes longer,
To heal the pain.

I try everyday,
To forget about you,
But it's hard to do,
You were everything to me.

Moving on,
Isn't as easy as people make it out to be,
It takes time,
for you to move on.

When it's time,
You'll know,
Just remember,
You're not alone.

We've been through painful things,
Heartbreaks are the worst,
Especially when it's the matter of the heart,
The heart wants what it wants.

Moving on,
Isn't as easy as people make it out to be,
It takes time,
for you to move on.

Give yourself time,
Take the days as they come,
You'll get by,
Just like me.

Throw away the pictures,
Get rid of the clothes,
Start over,
That's what you need.

Moving on,
Isn't as easy as people make it out to be,
It takes time,
for you to move on.

We're moving on,
Healing our pain,
Moving on,
And finding something new.

Moving on,
Is what I need,
Moving on,
Is what I want.

Moving on,
Isn't as easy as people make it out to be,
It takes time,
for you to move on.

I'm going to unload my pain,
And Dow what I want,
Which is,
Moving on from you.

It's goodbye for now,
Maybe forever,
We'll see,
Goodbye to you,
I'm moving on."

The crowd goes nuts once I've finished the song. During the song the crowd were singing along with me.

It felt great knowing that they support the band and then I look out at everyone and say. "We're going to change things up for a bit, give you something light to enjoy. This song is called
L!fe."

The crowd screams and I begin to sing.

"Waking up each morning is an experience,
It brings with it surprises,
New love,
And something new.

It's never the same,
At the end of the day,
You say 'goodbye,'
Only to start a new.

Life is for us to live,
Life is great,
It's full of experiences,
And adventures,
You just have to want it.

You just need to know how to do it,
How to get through it,
Take what it offers,
Love who you want.

If you can't do that,
Try it for those you love,
Just keep trying,
Until you can't no more.

Life is for us to live,
Life is great,
It's full of experiences,
And adventures,
You just have to want it.

Just what I need,
To get through the day,
Be with those you live,
Cause you don't know how long you have.

Today could be perfect,
Tomorrow is unknown,
The future is unpredictable,
Just do what you want,
And live.

Life is for us to live,
Life is great,
It's full of experiences,
And adventures,
You just have to want it.

I want a life,
One with you,
One with marriage,
One with kids,
And one with us growing old together.

I have one thing to say to you,
Let's have a life together,
Move on from the past,
And be together like we used to.

Life is for us to live,
Life is great,
It's full of experiences,
And adventures,
You just have to want it.

Together we can do anything
Just take a chance,
For me,
Let's live a life together.

One that's full of love,
Full of happiness,
With you by my side,
Anything is possible."

"Ahhh," the crowd screams as another song comes to a close.

"I'm glad you all enjoyed that song. This time we're going to sing Sunrise."

A woman in the front row yells. "I love you, Ryder."

Giving her a wink and a smile I continue to scan the faces of the people in front of me and see that they are holding onto my every word.

"It's hard getting out of bed,
You took everything when you left,
I'm a shell of myself,
Who's trying to break free.

I need to break free of the depressing thoughts,
Thoughts about you,
And what you're doing,
Why is it hard to move on from you?

Sitting on the beach,
I watch the sunrise,
And think it's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing.

The sunrise is going to help me take my mind off things,
The colours that come with a new day brings a smile to my face,
It reminds me that anything can happen,
Today I'm going to get my shit together.

I'm going to enjoy a new day,
Do something with my life,
Become who I'm meant to be,
And leave things in the past.

Sitting on the beach,
I watch the sunrise,
And think it's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing.

People are falling in love
Getting engaged,
Getting married,
And having babies.

While I'm sitting on the beach,
Waiting for a new day to arrive,
One that will be brighter,
Than the last couple of days.

Sitting on the beach,
I watch the sunrise,
And think it's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing.

Sunrise, Sunrise, Sunrise,
It's all about catching the next sunrise,
That brings a new day,
Ending the previous.

Let's get together,
And celebrate,
Here's a toast,
To a new day.

Sitting on the beach,
I watch the sunrise,
And think it's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing.

It's fine for us to go,
To leave the beach,
While the sun rises higher,
Showing us that it's a beautiful day.

Sunrise,
It's a beautiful thing,
A wonderful thing,
That we're lucky to see,
From around the world."
