Satellite- HS

Part 1

The show

I'm so fucking nervous. I'm acting as if I haven't done a billion of performances before, but this is different. I'm performing at the Grammys. Like in front of bunch of celebrities who are way, way better than me. I've been in the music industry for two years. I only have 1 Album out and frankly it's not going well. I knew it wasn't going to be the next best album. There's one song. Actually no. Matt wrote it just, I, just wrote the bridge. According to my boss. I'm not allowed to write my own music, because I'm just starting in the music industry. So whatever I'm told I do. If I complain I'm out. Snap. Just like that.

This is my first Year being at the Grammys and I'm not even nominated. Olivia and I work for the same record Label. Coincidentally, I got a call from Olivia saying that they want me to do a duo performance with her. It's a total surprise. No one knows about it besides the people we work with. To make this whole surprise a secret they asked me to do my own performance so people won't question why I'm here.

I'm singing Bad Reuptation. I like I said, Matty wrote mijority of it. He said he wrote it about me, and I really don't want to sing it, condering that I just broke up with him. But I don't make the choices here.

I try to calm myself in the mirror, as I hear a knock at the door. "Come in!" I yell as I turn to the door. The door opens and it's one of the backstage crew members. "Hey Emilia you're up in 5" I sigh, and recollect myself. "Okay thank you" I said giving him a slight smile. He nods and walks out.

I take a look at my outfit one more time. I decided to wear a nice long silk pink dress. I paired them with black ballet heels. It's cute and simple. I wanted to feel comfortable on stage. I walk out of my dressing room, and put in my ear monitor. I walked up near the stage entrance and, I was handed the microphone. I see the lights dim. "Good luck" I hear Olivia say behind me. "Thanks, I need it" I mumble. "Trust me you're gonna wow the audience" she says excitedly. That's when I hear my name being announced. "its yor time to shine" I walk on to the middle of the stage, and take everything all in.

I start to hear the music begin

She got a bad reputation, she takes the long way home.
And all of my friends seen her naked or so the story goes.
Mistake we all make them but they won't. Let it go, no.
Cause she's gotta bad reputation
But I know what they don't, mhm

The beat builds up, and put in all my energy in.

And I don't care what they, say about you baby
They don't what you've been through
Trust me, I could be the one to treat you like a lady
Let me see what's underneath, all I need is you.

I let a small tear run down my cheek.

Ah, ah, ah-ooh
Ah, ah, ah-ooh (oh)
Nobody knows the way I know her, said
Nobody knows the weight that's her soldiers said,
Nobody knows the way I know her said,
She got it bad, she got it bad
(It repeats)

AND!

Say about you baby.
They don't what you've been through,
and trust me I could be the one to treat you like lady,
let me see what's underneath, all I need is you.
(Repeats)

She gotta bad reputation she takes the long way home.

I finish and I can the hear the audience cheering for me. I wave to them and say thank you into the mic. I bow and walk off the stage.

I take out my ear monitor and I see Olivia running toward me. "That's was amazing, oh my gosh, you were born to be on that stage" I smile at her and give her a hug. "Thank you. I've never felt so much energy before" Olivia smiles at me. "Your born to be a star, now hurry get changed we're up soon" I smile and nod. I run to my dressing room. Once I walked in I immediately slipped off my dress. I grab my black corset with a a lacy skirt rapped around it. I grab my combat boots and slip them on quickly. I walk toward the mirror, fix my hair. It's super long, like it's down to my waist. I never had the urge to cut it. That and I just love long hair. I decided to flip my hair around to give it that messy look, and boom I was ready.
