"this room is really triggering" Brain says, as the three walk into Lauren's dressing room, "so, much, white"
"it'll have to do for a day, Brian, back home this would already be completely different by now" Riley says, her and brian opening their suitcases full of stuff, "makeups being stored on the left by the way, nats gonna come round later with the extra stuff for her outf-"
Lauren sat down in-front of the large mirror placed onto the dressing table, The vanity much larger than what she was used to.
She looks at herself in the mirror, leaning back in the chair whilst the two stylists place around the room. Her mind traveled back to the interview she was in only 10 minuets or so ago.
was she a home wrecker? had she just caused problems in between one of the most known couples in Italy? Her mind was all over the place, with the final only tomorrow and the problems with her staging, her stress levels had truly risen significantly.
"what's on your mind darl" Brain says, standing behind Lauren with his arms leaned up onto her chair.
"everything" she chuckles, rubbing her face with her hands, "it's a fucking wreck Brian"
"a wreck?" Riley questions, "emphasise"
"there's just so much shit happening" she says, jumping off the chair and pacing up and down the room, "there's problems with my staging which is shit, all the stuff going on with Damiano and the press is shit, i cant take this much shit!"
"yes you can!" Brian says to her, stopping her infront of him, "your fucking Lauren Davies! this is eurovision, let loose okay? mark and his team know what they're doing, this shit with Damiano will blow over, i promise you, do you know how many scandals there are these days? you'll be history by then"
"i sure hope so" Lauren sighs, sitting back in her chair, "you know, i wish i cou-"
the girl is interrupted by a sharp knocking at the door, Lauren frowning at the pair through the mirror.
"i thought nat isn't coming till later?" she asks, looking towards the door.
"she isn't, she's in Rotterdam somewhere, who knows where" Riley says, walking over towards the door, the other two following closely behind.
She opens the door to see the thing she expected least of all.
the bubble
The doorway was empty, the bubble was complete empty apart from some of the crew or backstage managers.
"is someone ding dong ditching us, i swear to god" Brian says, walking back into the room.
"cunts" riley says as she follows behind Brian, the two talking about something completely different.
Lauren closes her eyes and legs her head hang. She didn't know why she was so disappointed at the fact the doorway was empty, she was still trying to convince herself she didn't care.
She slowly opens her eyes, frowning at the floor as a familiar piece of paper sits on the wooden floor.
She crouches down and picks up the paper as Subtly as possible to the other two couldn't see what she was reading.
Lauren
i need to say something before your rehearsals
stage, now
-VDA
vic
She looks up from the bit of paper and looks at the pair across the room from her, still deep in a conversation.
"erm ive just remembered my rehearsals start in a few minutes so i'm gonna go get ready for that...yeah?" Lauren says, folding up the paper behind her back, their attention diverting to lauren.
"alright babe, you'll be okay yeah?" Brain reassures, a look of concern playing on his eyes.
"i'll be fine Brian, don't worry" she laughs, heading towards the doors, "i'll see yous tomorrow yeah? alright, bye"

She was shitting herself.
she had no idea what vic wanted to talk to her about, last time she told her about his relationship problems, so she had no clue what so ever of what today could behold.
She frantically walked towards the auditorium, the girl practically running as her hands played with the skin around her nails.
It was a habit of hers ever since she was a child. whenever she was nervous or had an anxiety attack. When it got really bad to the point she was bleeding, her mum would out plasters on all of her fingers to prevent her from getting anywhere near them.
Since then it had got significantly better thankfully, and now she only did it when she really needed to, just like this situation she was in now.
"OH MY GOD" she hears, Lauren quickly spinning around, "LAUREN HI!"
"hello TIX" Lauren laughs, the man running over to her.
"you'll never guess what happened" he whispers, re-arranging his headband, "Efefndi came to my dressing room!"
"TIX that's great! what did you talk about? anything knew i should know about?" she says, elbowing him in the side.
"oh no, this is the thing, i wasn't there" he says, happily, "but it dosnt matter! the point it, SHE WAS IN MY ROOM!"
"you know what, it's better than nothing, i'm rooting for yous TIX, i'm team...TIfendi?"
"yes i like that name, my other option is EfendIX"
"i like it" Lauren chuckles, looking at the time on her phone, "i better get going, got some rehearsals to catch up on! i'll see you later TIX!"
"bye lauren!!" the boy shouts back, running off towards his team as a small smile spreads onto her own face, continuing her walk to the Arena.
"if TIX and efendi can do it, why cant i hm?" she says to herself, a corridor down from the auditorium entrance.
She pushes through the large doors instead of stalling like last time, her eyes diverting to the stage where she could see vic laying on her back looking up to the top of the building.
Lauren makes her way down past the different white sofas, the new country flags wrapped around the lights with flags placed down in-front of the tables.
she looks around for hers and sees the Great British flag wrapped around a light in the front sharing centre with the Italians, To the right the Greece flag, behind them Malta, spain and the netherlands.
"i got your note" she calls, taking a position next to vic on the floor, "oh and, we're next to eachother on the sofa things, finland's to the corner a bit and TIX is a lot behind but-"
"they broke up"
