It was time to do my performance, I only had 30 minutes to get my stuff together.
Knock knock knock.
Fuck. Who could it be? "One second!!" I got the first part of makeup, this is gonna be hard. I open the door to see.. Silvester? How was he already ready?? "Hey Silvester!!"
"Hey sweetheart, brought something for you!"
"Really?" I smile widely trying not to blush.
He opens the bag he had just had in his hand, it was some of my FAVORITE sweets and... A nemo plushie? I started bursting out laughing because of it and I took the bag and hugged him tightly nuzzling his neck,
"I'm glad you like it!" His Lithuanian voice sparked me.. My heart. I chuckle loudly and pull away from the hug, alright. I have to get ready now.
"Alright Silvie but I have to get ready now!!" I say smiling warmly. He pouts and I knew he wanted to stay with me.
"Alright you can stay in my room with me!" I say teasingly while I head back to my table and sit down in the chair, Silvester makes himself comfortable on my bed laying on his back.
I get some glitter and pad it under my eyes just so I can cover my eye-bags and too look much more presentable just when I hear a voice echo in the hallway.
I didn't know what they were saying but they didn't sound familiar to the Eurovision contestants at all, I decide to go and check.
I get up from the chair and go the door.
"Where you goin'?" I hear one of the people say.
"I have a task, remember?"
"Oh, right."
"Anyway.. Who should we sabotage first?"
My heart fell. What do they mean sabotage? I look at the lock at my door, fuck it. I lick it immediately and Silvester notices all this 'anxiety'.
"Nemo? Is everything alright?" His voice echoed through the room.
"Just stay quiet and don't move.. There's someone here." My voice cracks a bit. Definitely not good before my performance. I turn the lights off and go onto the bed with Silvester, I just want to end whatevers going on.. Silvester hugs me tight as I nuzzle into his neck.
*thud thud thud*
Then more voices start to appear to my ears.
"Windows95man first or Isaak first?"
"I have someone better in mind.." They chuckled quietly.
"So? Who is it?"
"Silvester."
Holy fucking shit?! Why were they going for Silvester?!
"Nemo.. Are you.." He asked hesitantly.
"Scared? Positive." My voice was filled with fear and anger.
I hear exactly 2 knocks, as expected. No answer. Then again. 2 knocks to no avail, I cover my mouth and hold my breath to no be suspected that I'm in here.
Luckily, no one broke any doors or smashed a y windows, then, one deep, hollow voice comes in.
"I mean, everyone knows about Silvester and Nemo tho. Right?"
"You're right but I think Switzerland is already performing.."
"Yeah.. Guess we'll try tomorrow."
The footsteps disappear and I held my breath to really know they were gone. I stand up and turn the lights on. 10 more minutes.
"So we're just gonna act like nothing happened?.." I say under my voice,
"Id rather not think about it, it's for the best."
I agreed with Silvester, although I was scared the fuck out thinking about it could be worse. Then suddenly I hear from the intercom..
"And here is.. Nemo Mettler, representing Switzerland for Eurovision 2024! Everyone get ready!"
"Oh shit!!" I didn't have anytime to do anything else, I don't think anyone knew about the.. Thing.. "Bye Silvie!!" I exclaimed before running out the door, I heard a faint "Bye!!" From Silvester.
