Don't Let Me Drown

Seventeen

Avi's POV

I yawned while I was in hair and makeup. I was getting ready for my interview on the Graham Norton show, hence why I went to London after Paris. Speaking of Paris, it was amazing and I had so much fun meeting designers and celebrities. I met Nick Jonas and he wants me to do a song with him soon which I'm very excited about.

"You've been traveling so much bubz, maybe slow down a bit" Alysha said and I shook my head.

"I'll be okay" I said texting Shawn.

Missing you ❤- Shawn ❤

I miss you too baby, a couple more months ❤

"Alright love bird, time to get dressed" Roxy said and I blushed. I hopped off the chair and changed into a tan off shoulder crop top, black high waist skinnies, and black ankle boots that I got as a gift from the Prada fashion show- swag bags are the best thing ever. I slid my glasses on, now that they're fixed so there's no glare. I slipped in my gold tunnels and diamond earrings, black lace choker, and gold cuff.

"Phone silent or give it to me please" Alysha said and I handed her my phone.

"Two minutes Avi" I nodded and started walking with Alysha. I steadied my breathing and closed my eyes to calm myself. I couldn't stop myself from getting nervous. Sarah touched up my lipstick and fixed my hair a bit.

"She's one of the most amazing humans on this planet, I don't know how she has time to sleep. Give it up for Aviana Jacobs-Perry" the crowd cheered and I smiled and walked out waving to the audience until I noticed someone in the crowd. I pointed at them and they waved. I walked over and hugged them quickly before going to sit down.

"You seem to remember someone" Graham said.

"Yeah, she was at the airport, her name is Carly. Super sweet girl" I said.

"Do you remember everyone you've met?" He asked.

"Sometimes I do, most people I meet is just a quick hello and a picture or autograph. When people tell me their names I try my best to remember them" I said.

"That's incredible, now you've been traveling a lot the past month. You were in Milan, Paris, then went back to Los Angeles for a day, then here in the U.K. How do you manage and still look absolutely stunning?" I chuckled.

"The jet-lag has been terrible and I'm sure my aunt, who's here with me, is dying too. If I can't sleep I usually just work from my laptop or relax a bit. When the drowsiness happens, it's pretty bad. I get dizzy spells or hallucinate sometimes but I have a secret" I said and he gasped.

"What's the secret?" He asked.

"I make an energy juice, completely natural and has so many benefits. It's beat root, lemon, pears, and raspberry" I said and a lot of people were in shock. I laughed while everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

"That sounds terrible, how does that work?" He asked.

"Beets are filled with carbohydrates that turn into energy, and it's better because it's completely natural and it processed. Pears are also high in glucose and fructose with is essentially pure sugar. So it's basically a sugar high and carbs fueling my body" I said.

"You're very smart, you've been an honor roll student your entire education career right?" I hummed. "How did you make that possible?"

"It was really difficult to keep my grades up while I moved around from different foster homes, but I had a bad habit of always reading ahead to chapters and it actually helped a lot, so I was always ahead or exactly where I needed to be for classes" I said.
