Demi Has Dynamite

Part 20

Blaire's POV

Back to Monday a week since I received the bad news I will have to face the monsters who hurt me in court, a week since I ran, a week since I found Coopers grave and had my mini break down. I still feel incredibly sick but I think I can hide it better now my ears don't ache and my throat hurts but not too bad, I still have the gnarly cough and tight chest with difficulty breathing. I smile over at Bea who is slowly waking up next to me, it feel weird waking up in someone's arms and not been completely freaked out in fact feeling rather safe.

"How you feeling love" She ask her voice husky with sleep it actually sounds sexy.

"I feel better" I say which is only a partial lie, she reaches up to my forehead I flinch a little and curse silently to myself hoping she hasn't noticed

"you don't feel as warm so that's good" she says and I give a small smile but start coughing making me groan with annoyance there is a knock on the door and Bea tells them to come in and in walks the doctor and Dianne

"morning sweethearts" She says moving over to the bed and giving me a kiss on my head careful not to hit the needle in my arm as she leans over to give Bea a quick kiss on the cheek as well before moving a bit towards the end of the bed whilst the doctor takes out my drip and checks my temp and chest.

"still sounds like there is a lot of fluid and you temp is still up a bit, whatever the hospital gave you was great your ear and throat looks good, still just careful with your voice keep drinking what Demi has shown you" he says packing his things up and leaving he turns back around

"I think one or 2 more nights of IV anti biotics and make sure you keep taking the tablet ones" he says before leaving

"ok I'll leave you two to get ready, what time is your session with Demi" she ask I go and check the schedule I have my session with Demi at 11 I see that it is 7 I am meeting with the crew to try and get better with stage presences it's the same guys I had last week and I am glad they have agreed to help me with stage presences I actually want to go well in this show and that means knowing and showing stage presence.

"I have stage presences training at 8 then meeting with Dem at 11 I have double with her today followed with the group performance practice" I tell them that just sounds exhausting I really need to get ready

"Well hop in the shower get changed and I'll get a plate of food together and your drink" Dianne says pushing me towards the bathroom.

My stage presences training thing went ok I'm getting there I think, its hard they know Demi is giving me bigger songs that won't require too much dancing and stuff so they are helping me get more comfortable near the mic and move a bit as tense as I was I am slowly loosening up as I move I rush to meet Demi I make it just in time sliding to a halt almost hitting the wall I look up when I hear laughter and see Demi losing it laughing

"good timing Snug" she says coming over and giving me a hug I follow her over the piano and we stand there for a sec as I try and get my breath back the fluid sitting in my lungs making it so much harder than it should be. Demi waits patiently watching me with worry on her face

"here I have an inhaler for you" Demi says handing me the in haler, I have no idea why she has it but I am incredibly grateful as I take 2 puffs hoping it will help me get some air into my lungs opening my airways.

"Is that better snug" she ask rubbing my back and I nod giving her a smile

"ok then well this week is thanksgiving week as we have next week off so I have chosen the song this week which is another Whitney Houston great I didn't know my own strength" she says and I feel the blood drain from my face, I cannot, I will not sing that song I blink back the tears of the memories associated with that song the good and the bad.
