Pure silence.

Soft silence.

That was the only time of the day Raven felt truly happy. Avoiding flashed photography, endless paparazzi crawling at her door and photo attacks about her relationship with the billionaires' son, Lennox LeCroix; when she was either in front of a microphone or makeup mirror, it was the time she felt truly at peace.

The sound of Drake's rapping in the background as Raven used a beauty puff to even the foundation powder on her face, one of the maids Susanna said, " Miss MicKinely, it's time."

Time to shine.

Pulling on a sparkly midnight blue mermaid formed silk gown and silk satin black gloves up to her elbows, Raven stepped onstage immediately catching Lennox's supportive and loving gaze from the audience as she approached the microphone in the center of the black marbled stage.

Staring at everyone in the crowd, some held their phones up videotaping or taking pictures Raven smiled serenely.

From the poor maid taking care of her grandfather living with a witch of a caretaker, to the multiplatinum selling CD superstar performer Raven became now; she reminisced all the work she had done to get here.

He already does so effortlessly.

So staring at him walking closer, Raven sang:

Down this road,

I felt lost and cold,

But in my dreams,

With you and me,

Loving serenely,

Singing more streches of notes as she wormed her way through the crowd who cheered observing her intently as she made her way by Lennox at his side as she repeated the chorus and smoothly, dramatically she lyed in his lap staring into his eyes with humor and passion.

Kissing his cheek, Raven smirked as Lennox turned beet red burying his face in his hands as Raven continued to sing in different falsetto notes (despite being a mezzo-soprano with a rarely wide range) she finished the song as everyone in the audience gave her a standing ovation.

She smiled happily her cheekbones began throbbing she felt that ecstatic.

She did a curtsy, and exited into the wings.

How she got this fame, fortune and endless performances, Raven held her purple journal excitedly writing all the previous events down the reminiscing each event happily.
