The Story

The Struggle

The Movie

Purple Rain

I sat up out my bed and blindly turned the TV down. I knew the remote like the back of my hand. I didn't even have to look at it to know what the buttons were. Which would normally be considered sad but I consider it a gift.

I rubbed my eyes and opened them to see Veronica, Gigi and my stylist, Naomi. All sitting together in my room. I closed my eyes and clasped my hands together. Trying to find the nicest words.

"Ok... what... the fuck.. are yall doing... in my god damn room?" I was clenching my teeth using every ounce of willpower I had to keep my composure. What would Michael do?was all that was running through my head.

"The maid let us in." Naomi spoke up, bouncing my favorite teddy bear in her lap. The same lavander teddy bear, David gave me. If I wasn't tired I would've thrown this damn remote at her.

"Somebody's getting fired." I threw the covers back and got up out the bed. "What's on the schedule for today?" I asked, scratching my head. Every morning I was greeted with a schedule. Normally, I was downstairs in the kitchen and I let them in the house myself but today, Veronica turned up the crazy. Either I was going to take her key, change the locks, or hire new help.

"Well.." She whipped out her clipboard and turned a few pages. Which always meant I was about to be busy as hell. "You have to finish filming you last few scenes for Beverly Hills Cop today. A radio interview, an appearance at Macy's to promote your clothing line, we have a concept meeting with Gianmarco Lorenzi about your ensemble for the Purple Rain premiere, which is July 27th. Then you have a fitting with Stella McCartney for your dress for that which is.." She searched her sheet. "December 1st." I groaned and stretched.

"So why are you guys here?" I turned my attention to Naomi and Gigi. Naomi looked at me with big eyes, as if she didn't know what was going on. Gigi stood up.

"Because Veronica didn't trust you to do your own makeup today." I gasped and shot a look at Veronica. She shrugged at me. Then Naomi grew some balls and stood up, behind Gigi.

"Or dress yourself." I looked back over to Veronica and she covered face with her clipboard.
