Say You Won't Let Go (Lauren/You)

Chapter 3: Titanium

2 months later

Y/N P.O.V

Simon had been successful in hiding me for the past two months. No one has yet to know I'm awake, the media and my assailant are still under the impression that I'm in a coma. 

I've made a lot of progress since I first started my route to recovery. I haven't gotten 100 percent of my voice back yet I've tried not to strain it but it's good enough for me to perform this song today. This will be my first appearance in over three years and to say I'm nervous is an understatement. There's also excitement but mostly determination.

Today is a message to the ones who killed someone I loved while also trying to kill me and when I think of this I can't wait to be seen on live TV so when they see me alive and healthy they know they failed and didn't break me.  

Today is the day I take back my life and start a new. I'm not the same person I was three years ago. How can you be after going through what I went through. 

I realized this when picking out what to wear today. Before it all happened I was one to wear dresses on occasion and colorful clothing but after going through my closet I just couldn't see myself in those clothes anymore, it almost felt like I was wearing a dead persons clothes. Yeah I kept some of them but I mostly gave the rest to Isabella.

Now I'm wearing my brothers clothes for now seeing as how I wasn't allowed to go outside yet in fear someone would recognize me and blow my cover. Just getting out of the hospital felt like I was in Mission Impossible.

Simon had pulled all the strings for today. The concert was to be held at the Hollywood bowl and had One Direction, Fifth Harmony, Little Mix, Bea Miller and a couple of others to perform. No one knew this concert was for me everyone was told that this was a concert to support SyCo or something like that. He even got major news channels to come.

I had just gotten my clothes back from my 'team' you could say. They made them look ripped up like I was in an accident or I escaped after being chased through the woods by a chainsaw wielding maniac. The whole purpose of ruining my clothes is to recreate that night on stage to make the song even more powerful.

Alexis and the other girls had similar ripped up clothes for when they perform their dance when I start singing. Once I was able to gain some muscle and walk around for a long period of time without having my body ache and out of breath we started practicing my part with the girls in the song. I'm nervous for the part where they catch me right before my face hits the floor but I trust them with my all.

Speaking of Alexis, when she found out I was awake she almost broke my back. She had saw me and basically tackled me onto the ground crying like all the rest. She had introduced me to the rest of the dance team which is now my dance team.

Now me and my family were hanging out in this super secret room waiting for the concert to start. We had to be here before anyone else to make sure I was kept a secret. I just can't wait for tomorrow so I don't have to keep hiding from the public like someone's mistress.

Rosie's sitting on my lap playing fruit ninja while me and my other siblings who are sitting on each side of me are talking about random things. The room we're in is pretty nice, there's a huge flat screen to watch the other performers, really comfy couches and most importantly food.

"Y/n/n look!" Rosie squealed in excitement showing me the score she got.

I smile she's just too cute, "Good job mi pequeña."

I look to the screen to see the concert's about to start they had just finished setting up the equipment and the first performer, who I think is Bea Miller is walking on stage. The whole place is packed, not a seat is empty except for the first row for all the performers to sit after they're done.
