More Than A Fan (Justin Bieber Fan Fiction)

Chapter 48: Stress

Lizzy's POV

"Lizzy, you're on in five." A stage manager for the Today Show told me.

I was in the middle of hair and makeup. Five or six people surrounded me in order to make me "perfect". I wore a black button up dress with brown leather boots and a gold long necklace. My hair was curled and I wore pounds of makeup and hated it.

The show started and they announced me as a famous dancer who's worked with Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, and now Usher. I took the stage and everyone clapped for me. I hugged the two women giving me an interview. We all sat down in stools that overlooked Rockefeller Plaza.

"Nice to finally meet you." Kathie smiled. "Hoda hasn't shut up about you all week."

They both laughed and so did I. "Nice to meet you guys."

"So how are you?" Hoda asked.

"Oh I'm exhausted." I laughed. "But I'm doing great."

"I can imagine. A nineteen year old girl that dances for a world famous star, has another world famous star as her husband, and you still have to have time to be a kid." Kathie said.

I nodded.

"How are you enjoying the tour?" Hoda asked me.

"I absolutely love it. It's fun, it's different, Usher is a blast to work with."

"He didn't pay you to say that did he?" Hoda winked.

I laughed. "No. He's so fun to be around. He pushes us but rewards us when we get the job done. I love working with him."

"That's good." Kathie said. "So just last week you collapsed on stage. What happened exactly?"

Hoda agreed with her. And I laughed as I told my embarrassing story.

"So basically I was running and I turned around to tell Justin I love him but when I turned back around I ran into a wall. And I got super dizzy and it hurt. But I decided to just push through it."

"So the show went on and then you just collapsed!" Hoda raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah." I said. "I thought it would go away and when it didn't I realized like just before I blacked out that I needed to stop. I ended up tripping over someone and it triggered it."

"Seemed pretty scary. How long were you unconscious?" Kathie asked me.

"They told me ten minutes." I said.

"Wow." Hoda said. "Glad you're okay though."

"Yeah, I'm better this week." I smiled.

"So tell us about Justin." Kathie put her hand on my knee.

I giggled as I blushed. "We're wonderful." That's all I could get out.

"Now he's on tour with you right?" Hoda asked.

"Yes. He joined me last week."

"Just for fun? Or?"

"Yeah, I was going through something and I needed him. Usher called him and had him fly out to join me." I told them.

"Wow how sweet of him. Looks like you've got good people supporting you."

"Oh yes. I have had the best people with me through these past few years."

"Now you and Justin went through a rough patch this year, can you tell us what happened?" Hoda asked.

"We went our separate ways. Um," I tried to find the words. "Basically we just kind of drifted apart. Things didn't feel the same. It was just weird. And I actually left him a few months before tour. I stayed at Scooter's place and then I left for tour. Justin didn't even know I was on tour until the LA show."
