Chapter 10 - The Race Is About to Start

I'm so nervous right now. I'm sitting in a chair in my dressing room. The makeup artist is doing my makeup and one of my assistants is adjusting my clothes. Im staring at the big mirror in front of me thinking about at least 100 ways this could go wrong. What if I get stage fright? What if someone gets on the stage and tries to touch me? What if I mess up my lines? Ugh... I think I'm going to throw up. "Girl you look like you ate a rotten tomato. You look so scared that your face is twisting upside down.get a hold of yourself," Jennifer says laughing. I look in the mirror and see Jenny standing in the doorway.

"Jenny I think I'm going to die of nervousness. What if I mess up onstage?" I whine. Jennifer walks in sits on the counter next to me. She looks around the room and then back at me. Then she just smiled. "What...?"

"You know everyone gets nervous on their first big concert. It's totally normal! You just can't let it get to you. I know being in front of so many people can be scary but it can also be so much fun. Just imagine all those fans who paid and came from all over just to see you sing. You even have a full house! Don't you think that it will be fun to show off you're amazing talent to the world? Make your big debuts with a bang? Show the world you're coming and they can't stop you? You have nothing to worry about. I know that you'll be the start. You're my little rising star on their journey to the top. Don't let fear or any other nonsense stop you on your journey. I'm your number one fan. Your mom and dad would be so proud if they could see you now," Jennifer said. She smiles at me. She grabs a bracelet and puts it on my wrist.

"Thanks Jennifer I really needed this," I say sighing in relief.

"Any time Lisa. I'm always here for you. Also I can't let you ruin my paycheck," Lisa says as she starts to laugh. I laugh too. Man... why is this lady so fucking good at speeches! I'm all motivated now. Someone opens the door.

"Miss Markeyas, you're on in five," says a man with a clipboard and a radio in his hands. Then he closes the door and walks away.

"You ready to go take on the world?" Jennifer asks. She gets up and holds out her hand.

"With ought a doubt!" I say as I take her hand. She pulls me up.

"Let's do this!" We both say at the same time.

Well here we go...
