Dressed I head downstairs to get breakfast where I meet Taylor. We chat a litle and she tells me how this all is gonna go. "When we arrive they'll do your make up and then you're gonna meet Jimmy and chat with him a little until it's time for you to get dressed and get your hair done. You'll probably have some time left to talk to Jimmy and then you can tell him that you don't want him talking about how that happened." She looks at my legs. "At least if that's the case." Honestly, I'll probably do everything exactly as she just said. I mean she was there before.
We finish our Breakfast and then decide to go to a play room in the hotel to play a little Billyard. I am really bad at it but it's much fun anyways. The time passes and then we have to leave. I make sure that I have erything with me what I need and then get into the car. It only drives like three minutes and I get inside the building through the back door because of the Paparazzi.
It's really hectic everything even tho the show only starts in about four hours. "You are Sadie, follow me." A guy says and so I do. We reach the make up artists who are already craving for work. I sit down in one of the chairs and they start. "What colour does your dress have?" "It'S a light blue." "Is it with payetts?" "Yeah, it is." "Is your dress short?" "Yeah, what do you need that for?" "Just for my imagination." Oh wow, really funny. I am on my phone the whole time and see that under the last post of Alyssia, Chad, Brad and Jacob, some people wrote a few mean comments and stuff and they were telling them about me being on the show tonight. I know there will be drama from them afterwards, I am already expecting the worst.
Suddenly someone taps me on the shoulder and I look up just to spot Jimmy. Fast I stand up and give him my hand. „Hi, it's nice to meet you." I say. „Yeah you too. I don't have much time right now but we'll talk later again before the show begins." I nod and then he is already gone again. Well it seems like he's really busy tho.
As they are finally done with the make up I head outside to get some fresh air. "Sorry about earlier." I turn around ans see Jimmy who also just headed outside. "No worries. "So this is your first time at a talk show at all right?" "It is yeah, I am also really nervous about that." "I mean it's basically just us chatting a bit." He is right, it's just a chat.
I hear my name from inside. "See you in the studio." He says so I get inside. A guy collects me and guides me to the dressing room. A nice lady is waiting for me. "Here is your dress. Put it on and then we'll see if everything fits perfect." I nod and grab the dress from her hand. As I stand in the cabin and look at myself in the mirror wearing that short dress, my anxiety kicks. I call Taylor. "Let me guess. You're having second thoughts on the dress." She says before I even said anything. "It is nice, don't get me wrong on that." "Just step outside that cabin and talk to the lady. You're gonna be fine." I nod as if she could see me.
We hang up and I get outside. The blonde woman walks up to me and ignores the fact that I am wearing a prothese. "It lies perfectly on your body. I am only worried it's gonna slip up as you walk. I'll stick it to your tighs." She grabs some sticky stuff and puts it on the dress and presses it on my left thigh. "It isn't a problem if I glue it on your prothese right? It's come off." I just nod and she does the same thing there. I look in the mirror standing there with the spotlight at me. "We are done faster than I thought. Just go through that door right there to get your hair done." I thank her and enter the other room.
The hairdresser are all standing there like hyenes. One of them offers me their chair so I sit down and get my hair done. They talk about stuff I don't understand so I just go on my phone. After a while she's done. I take a look in the mirror and smile. "It's amazing, thank you." She just smiles and I get up and take a look through the curtain. All the seats are full and Jimmy is already sitting at his desk.
A staff member comes to me. "It's your turn." Jimmy says my name and everyone starts clapping. Wait already? He slightly pushes me on the stage and I wave at the crowd. I can hear the clapping getting weaker as they notice my leg. Jimmy hugs me and then tells me to sit down. He acts as if eerything is normal. At first he asks about the history of the band and I tell him everything until we get to my reveal day. "Wow great story. Now I think we all wanna finally know what happened. We all already heard the statement of the others but I think many people are interested in what your side of the story is." I tell him everything in a short version but get all the details. "And you really spent a whole month in your house?" I nod. "What happened then?" "I scrolled through my e mails and saw an invitation to a party and din't read to rest so I made my way to it."
"It was at the house of Bruno Mars right?" "Yeah and believe me when everyone was shocked to see me. Most of the people didn't really seem to like me tho." "Okay and then what? You just decided to show up here tonight?" "No, as I said earlier I was a huge fan of Taylor Swift and when I got downstairs and used his studio, by the way, sorry for that." I look at the camera and then back at Jimmy. "She kinda heard me and listened to my story." He smiles. "This seems to good to be true." "Yeah well now I am here." "Yeah!" He claps and so does the audience. "I didn't catch one thing, what happened to your leg?" Oh god what do I say, what do I say? I laugh awkwardly and fix my dress. "Well long story short, my parents and me where in a huge car accident and my dad was involved into something bad so a guy just shot my mom as we laied on the street. I somehow managed to escape the car but just without my leg and my dad. The wreck exploded while he looked me in my eyes. It was a bot dramatic." "Oh lord. How old were you?" "I think three? Four? Maybe five? Something like that.
Jimmy gets up. "You will hate me for that but uhm, Taylor send me the sound track and now we all wanna hear your very first solo!" I put my head in my hands. Oh why did you do that? I get up and walk over to the microphone. The audience silences and it gets dark. I close my eyes and then start to sing the song. It's so hard not to cry.
