Timeskip forward 10 months

Y/n Pov
My alarm suddenly bolts me awake from my dream. Today is the day, my comeback in Eurovision. Ever since that summer I had last year I was in need to get out some emotions I had built up in me so I decided to write a song and sent it in to Melodifestivalen (the song contest in Sweden to chose who their gonna send to Eurovision). And yeah I got in and competed against some amazing people and this year again I had received the absolute blessing on getting to represent my country in Eurovision.
But this time I was hoping to win it since I failed them last year. My song had received so much love from a lot of fans all over the world and being tipped winner. That just made my nerves higher. I gently lift my tired body from the comfy hotel bed and get myself ready to leave for the arena for the last rehearsal before it was really happening.

When the final rehearsal was done I went to chat with some of the other contestants to really have some last bonding since it was the final day today. Some of us play cards games and some of the others just having a lovely time together to waste the time until the competition starts. Suddenly the producers call out for all of us to get ready for the flag parade that soon would begin to take place. Everyone say good luck to each other and run to their own rooms.
I quickly change into my long gorgeous black dress and some sneakers because doing this performance in heels would be a hella challenge. My makeup artist and hairdresser comes inside the room to help me with the makeup and hair then shortly after they have done their wonders it's show time.
I can't believe I get to do this again but it surely is a great pleasure to do so.

The flag parade went smoothly and before I knew it, it was my turn to get on the stage and make my country proud. I get onto position and wait for the music to start and shortly it does.

"Thank you Rome, your amazing!!" I shouted out of breath into the mic as the song stopped playing. As I reached greenroom and sit down with my team they all were quick to pull me into a group hug and compliment me about how I nailed the performance.
After all the other country's were done with their performances there was some other acts before it was suddenly time for the jury's votes.
" And good morning we say to Australia " one of the hosts say before waiting on a response from the point giver in Australia. " Good evening rome! Thank you for an amazing show, well now for our points. Australia give 12 points to..." they respond. It's quiet in green room as everyone wait patiently to know who will get the 12 points. " SWEDEN" they scream after a few seconds of bare silence. I shockingly stand up after my crew went out their seats to stand to cheer.
" Now it's time for the last jury votes which is this amazing host country! " one host says showing a smile towards the camera waiting for an response. " Thank you for this lovely night and an great show " the point giver say and everyone in the arena cheer not wanting this night to end soon. "Well Italy has given their 12 points to...... SWEDEN" they respond again and I can't stop myself for smiling that much that my cheeks hurt.

"That was all the jury votes now let's take a look at the top 3 before we go to greet last years winners again!" An host say with excitement written all over their face.
1st Sweden ~ 237 points
2nd UK ~ 164 points
3rd Spain ~ 159 points

Slowly after it showing on the display an host comes up to me and talked about how it felt which I respond with " I'm just trying to live in the moment and not take really much thought into it, but I wish to make my country proud ". That seems to me enough of an answer for them so they say " Well you sure have made them proud and we wish you good luck, but now it's finally time for last years winners to hit the stage so everyone give it up for last years winners MÅNESKIN!!" She yelled and the camera went to focus on the stage instead.

Shit I totally forgot that they would be here, I slowly sink into my seat as if that would get me out of this situation.
The music starts and I just can't to tear my eyes away from the tall handsome Italian singing gorgeously on stage. Every sound that leaves his mouth just makes me more and more in love again.
I had not spoken with him since those 10 months ago during the Euros when Italy won the final. It was hard to not meet since we both were performing. That night was a night full of talking and crying from both of our sides. He explained to me that it was my best friend who had jumped onto him that day and it wouldn't shock me if that was the case since she had taken all of the other boyfriends I have had in the past. But I still kept her in my life since we had so much history and good memories from childhood together that I didn't have the courage to just get rid off.
I told him that I needed a break but all that break really got me was more of an broken heart and a large amount of written heartbreak songs. I missed him more than I wanted to and it was eating me alive, now faster then ever. Being without him had broken me into an insane amount of pieces. In all the time of a year I had went from the happiest girl on earth to the loneliest I even knew someone could be.
I starred at him for the entire act and when he was of stage it was like a part of my heart ripped open. I looked at the table and asked one of my crew mates for a paper and pen. When I got it I flashed them a small smile before scribbling down a text for a sudden song idea I got.

You'll be the saddest part of me
A part of me that will never be mine
It's obvious
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest
You're still the oxygen I breathe
I see your face when I close my eyes
It's torturous
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

That's all I have time to write until I get interrupted by one of the three hosts calling out saying that the public votes are beginning. Since I'm in the lead I have some time to scribble down some other lines that run through my mind

'Cause I don't even care about the time I've got left here
The only thing I know now is that I wanna spend it
With you, with you nobody else here
Tonight is gonna be the loneliest

Then my nerves really kick in again and I snap out of my trance. Since there were just three countries left to receive points from the public. Spain received 122 points and went into 2nd place with 281 points. Then it was the UK who got 161 from the public and immediately went into first place with 325 points.

" Sweden needs at least 89 points from the public to win, And Sweden you have received from the public.." One of the female hosts say.
My heart beats so fast it feels like I might have an heart attack. I nervously close my eyes and hold hands with the people next to me.
In the screen all the focus is on me and Sam Ryder from the UK taking in all the nerves that is boiling inside the arena.

"247 points which means that this year's Eurovision winner is SWEDEN" I feel my legs trembling as I can't believe what I'm hearing. I get thrown into a group hug by everyone even some of the other contestants run to me to congratulate me.
I'm in bare shock as u walk to the stage to receive the trophy and to perform my song again. When I suddenly snap out of my trance when I see Damiano there with the trophy in hand as well as the other band members by his side. When I slowly get handed the trophy from him I also get cupped into a big hug. I turn my head to see who it was and to say I was shocked was not an understatement but I happily hug back being in a need for his touch. When I feel how more people get into the hug which I understand is Vic, Thomas and Ethan.
When they all loosen from the hug I go to have a speech. I thank my whole team and everyone who have voted as well as all the other artist for making this incredibly memorable and friends for life.
Then it's showtime again to preform. But all that's in my mind is that I hope for Damiano to be at the after party. I need to make this up to him. Seeing him again after so long made me finally realize that, without him I'm nothing and that I needed to explain before it was to late..

To be continued...
