one song. one friendship. one love story.
Lacy Hope is a singer from london hoping to make it big, after her first single selfish goes straight to number 5 a week after it is released at just 20 years old, she is asked to do BBC live lounge to cove...
"todays the big day!" my dad smiles at me from the sofa while my hair stylist is combing through my freshly washed hair
my heart hasn't stopped racing since the moment we stepped foot in here, i watched them set up the stage from the highest seat possible.
my stomach churns every time someone talks to me or the time gets closer to 8:30.
"how are you feeling?" dad asks, sam walks in with a smoothie and bagel but i am in no mood to eat right now.
"like i'm going to throw up" i groan the thought of actually throwing up making my stomach churn again.
my hair stylist leaves the room to get some more supplies leaving me alone with my dad and sam
"you'll be fine darlin" sam chuckles digging into his own bagel "you've played sold out stadiums this whole tour, wembley is no different"
"except it's fucking wembley stadium" i groan taking a sip of my smoothie "no guys i actually don't think i can do this"
"lac you can't back out now" sam says to me, he can't tell if i'm joking or not. i'm not.
"god i just didn't think this day would actually ever come" i sigh wiping my eyes "and when it did come i just thought it would be different, i thought i'd be excited"
"your letting the nerves get to you too much sweetheart, it's just another show like you've done for months now" my dad smiles encouraging me.
my hair stylist comes back in with a hair dryer ready to dry my hair, it turns on and i start to sweat immediately.
6:30
"not long now, half an hour until the support act goes on and then it's your turn" my manager smiles at me
i'm in a haze as i listen to her words, my outfit is on, my hair and makeup is done and i'm just sat waiting.
sam rubs my thigh trying to comfort me but he is just failing
"are you excited lacy?" my tour manager asks, i can't even look at her. tears fill my eyes as my whole body shakes
"no" i mumble
"babe"
"i think i'm going to be sick" i suddenly say rushing to get up and run to the bathroom, everyone follows after me, sam getting to me first as i throw up in the toilet
he knows what to do as he makes sure none of my hair is anywhere near my mouth, that would just make things even worse.
"oh lac" he sighs rubbing my back
"sam i can't do it" i sniff leaning back from the toilet and resting my head against the wall "i can't do this"
he sits down next to me and wraps his arms around me, everyone else took this as a sign to leave us alone.
"lacy you have been through so much, this is nothing compared to the things you've done before" sam smiles at me
i'm trying desperately to make sure the tears don't fall on my professionally done makeup
"i just thought things would be different" i huff "i always dreamt of playing wembley stadium but when i imagined it when i was fifteen it was nothing like this"
"what was it like?" sam questions me curiously
"i don't know i just always thought i wouldn't be nervous, and i would feel prepared, and i thought my mum would be here" i tell him, his gaze softens on me
"oh darlin" he sighs resting his forehead against mine "she is here, she's right there" he says pointing to my heart "and she's so so so proud of you right now"
he grabs a tissue quickly and catches my tear making sure it doesn't affect my makeup, he pulls the tissue away and pats under my eye lightly to make sure it hasn't come off
"lacy" my tour manager knocks on the door "we can cancel if you want, or reschedule. your clearly not at your best"
sam looks at me with furrowed eyebrows "is that what you want?"
"it's completely up to you, we don't want to put you on stage when your like this" she says from the door
i look between them both knowing this decision could affect a lot "no i want to do it"
"that's my girl" sam smiles
