This Tour (Diggy Simmons Love Story)

BET Awards II

(Your POV)
I woke up the next day with a huge smile on my face. Today's the BET awards and I was a nominee. I looked around to see Taylor, Tyler, and Chase all on their phones as usual. I instantly grabbed my phone and tweeted 'when your way too happy that the BET awards are today because you got nominated'. After my tweet, I screamed earning death glares from everyone. "Girl if you don't shut the hell up screaming that loud in the morning" Chase said. I smiled a sorry and walked to the shower, so I could take one considering the team was going to breakfast in an hour.

I was extremely jittery considering the awards were today. I don't care if I win because I'm extremely blessed to be nominated but to actually win would be unimaginable. I and my tour mates were on our way back to the hotel. I wanted to work out because working out always calmed me down. Sounds cheesy but it actually works. Once to the hotel, I rushed to my room to change into my favorite neon yellow NIKE Pro sports bra and spanks and headed to the workout room. 

I opened the door to an empty workout room and went straight to the treadmill. Before entering my workout into the equipment, I put my headphones in and turned on the Rihanna radio on Pandora. I was always taught by my trainer to brisk walk on the treadmill before actually jogging (Author Note: I don't know if that's true or not, I just used it for the story). After walking for a few minutes, I started jogging. Roc walked in along with Ray following right behind. "Wherever ugly #1 goes, ugly #2 follows" I joked. "Shutup before I punch you on accident on purpose" Ray responded. I burst out into laughter; I was laughing for a few minutes. "Okay YN it's not that funny" Roc told me. "Shut up hoe, lets take a picture" I pressed the stop key on the treadmill and got off. I walked over to the mirror and stood between the boys. Ray bent down and put his hands to look like he was praying, I flexed the arm that wasn't holding my phone for the picture and Roc flexed both of his arms. I took the picture and posted it on Instagram,

(Skipping to Prep for the Award Show)

 "IT'S TIME" Taylor screamed walking into our room with a black bag covering my outfit for the show. I looked up from my phone to see my favorite makeup artist from LA, Jenna. Jenna always slays my makeup while still giving me that natural face look. She set her things on the bed then started unloading all her makeup on the desk table. "Ready?" Jenna asked as she set out the last of her makeup brushes. I nodded and got off the bed heading towards the desk chair. I closed my eyes and let her work her magic with the makeup. After about 20 minutes of beating my face, she was finished. I looked into the mirror smiling from ear to ear. "BEAT" I yelled. Jenna offered to straighten my hair because I was wearing it straight down considering Taylor was supposed to do it, but she had left to confirm my limo would arrive on time. "Thank you" I said as Taylor finished up the last strand of hair.  "Your welcome boo. Good luck with your nomination" After she left, I walked into the bathroom and freshened up a bit. I was calm but I know the drive to the awards would be a totally different story. I walked back into the room and changed into my blouse like top with my white skirt along with my brown heels. I put my gold Michael Kors watch on my right wrist. (Author's Note: Outfit on the side)  "Slay bitch" Chase said as him and Tyler walked in. I chuckled a bit. "Taylor said the limo's downstairs waiting on us" he added. Hearing those words, the nerves kicked in. I grabbed my white clutched stuffing my portable charger, my phone and some lipgloss and walked to the elevator. 

"Ready?" Taylor said as the limo came to an stop. I nervously nodded my head. The limo driver opened my door and as I stopped out I was bombarded with flashing lights. I looked around as pictures were being taken off me, screaming fans waving their hands at me also taking pictures and Chase and Tyler getting out the limo along with Taylor. I walked down the red carpet. I periodically stopped every 5 inches for pictures. The nerves calmed as I got off the red carpet but they quickly rushed back when Mila J asked to interview me. 

"It's ya girl Mila J and I'm joined with the fabulous YN. How are you?"  she asked putting the microphone to my mouth. "I'm great, a bit nervous though" I replied. "You look stunning by the way" "Thank you" I said starting to calm down. "What was your initial reaction when finding out that you were nominated for the Best Upcoming Artist Award?" she asked. "I was confused because I remember I was on Twitter and I kept being mentioned in tweets saying congratulations on my nomination. Then I received a call from my manager screaming in my ear and telling me about it. It was extremely unexpected I didn't think I would ever be nominated for a while but hey" After a few more questions, she let me go. 

I walked into the Microsoft Theater instantly looking for my seats. I just wanted to sit down and take everything all in before going and taking pictures with other celebrities. I found myself after about 10 minutes of looking; I was so lucky to be seated next to Diggy. He would know how to calm my nerves when they would call my award to announce the winner. 

The award show started exactly at 7. I was extremely Anthony Anderson Tracee Ellis Ross come onto stage to begin the show. My first BET Awards was turning out to be a blast. Before I knew it, Snoop Dog was on the stage talking into microphone about the Best New Artist Award. I clenched Diggy's hand and he looked into my eyes calming me down. "And the Best New Artist Award goes to" Snoop said as he opened the envelope. I closed my eyes waiting for the winner's name to be called as my heart beat faster and faster as the anticipation grew. "YN" he screamed into microphone. I let go of Diggy's hand and covered my eyes with my hands as I burst into tears. Taylor helped me up as I walked towards the stage. Once on stage, I grabbed my award. I walked towards the microphone staring at the audience. Tears once again began to fall. "Thank you" I managed to say. "Thank you. I'm not go lie I didn't expect to win let alone be nominated. I would like to first thank God because without him nothing is possible. I want to say thank you to my mom because she always pushes me to perfect my craft even when I get lazy. I want to thank my team and lastly you guys for allowing me to be here. I love you all" I said blowing a few kisses to the crowd. I was lead off the stage to a room. They took my award and told me to pick it up after the show was over. I was escorted back to my seat.

The show ended an hour later. I was going to go to the after party but I had a really early flight to catch the next morning. I got back to my hotel and headed for the shower. After my shower, I changed into some shorts and shirt and called my mom to tell her about my night. Telling my mom all about my experience was so exciting but depressing because I wish she could have been there. "I love you too mommy" I said before hanging up. I closed my eyes and let sleep take over my overly tired body.
