Kelly
Holly leaps into action.
While I stare helplessly, she grabs the bag that was supposed to be for getting on the bus with Crash tonight. Biting my lip, I silently plead with Crash to forgive me and cling to the hand Holly offers me as she opens the door of the dressing room and rolls my suitcase back into the hallway.
Joss takes one look at the suitcase, then at me, then Holly, his shaved head glinting under the fluorescent lights. "Where to?"
Holly opens her mouth just as Merv jogs towards us, lips thinned.
"Kel, you were great honey. But you were supposed to stay on stage."
I burst into tears.
Merv's horrified. "What's wrong?"
"Now's not the time," Holly snaps. "I need to get her out of here."
"C-can't breathe." I sway and have to grab Merv's arm to stay upright.
I'm suddenly aware of the curious crew members all around us. Merv notices them too and his face goes blank.
