What is it?

As we sat overwhelmed in my mums Bentley (which just so happens to be the same car as Delta Goodrem owns), singing our hearts out, to no one but Delta, the sport coverage was interrupted on Kiis106.5 because of some breaking news.
"The only breaking news I can imagine is that they found the MH370 flight" Heather informed.
She got no reply from me as I was lost in thoughts about this tragic incident. I am now terrified of planes.

But then I heard 'Delta'.
"Mum, mum, quick turn it up!"
"And now we have the chart-topping and cancer survivor Delta Goodrem live on the line" reports the Kiis news reader.

"Hey Sydney, it's Delta here! I can't wait to perform in front of you all tonight and because it's my first 'Album 5' concert in Sydney, I have decided to offer a life-changing and unbuyable prize. Stay tuned to find out what it is and ... how you can win it! Love and Light"

Many thoughts flooded through my mind.
What is the prize? ... Who will win? ... How do you win? ... Is Delta giving up on singing? ... Is this her last concert? ...

I am pretty sure Heather was driven by her imagination and overtaken by her mind as well as she alike hasn't said anything since the end of the report.

Soon my phone buzzes in my back pocket and I am taken back into reality.
"Hey Chloe, It's Darcy, did you hear?"
"Oh my gosh, hear what?"
"I don't really know how to explain without you completely freaking out."

Something has to be wrong. Darcy is firstly talking to ME, secondly, talking to me on the PHONE, and thirdly, TALKING.

"Darce what is it!?"
"Chloe are you there?
"Yeah I am still here, what haven't I heard?
"Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!"

Just perfect, connection lost. I need to know what Darcy was trying to say.

"Was that Darcy, TALKING, on the PHONE, to YOU?" Mum questioned.
"Yes."
"What did she want?"
I wanted to rip my hair out now because I was so frustrated that I didn't know, but I don't want to experience Delta's life with no hair so I didn't.
"I DON'T KNOW!" I said angrily.
Everything went quiet as we stopped at the traffic lights.

"Excuse me, Mrs Skye, could you please turn Kiis up again so we don't miss Delta's update"
"Of course darling."
"Thank You."

I am so excited because I will actually be inspired in a few hours when Delta shines on the stage but I am scared to know what Darcy wanted to tell me. I plug in my earphones and listen to some Delta and I feel better already. Heather refuses to listen because she doesn't want to miss the announcement. Fair enough.

"Delta Goodrem is going to be on the line in 3 minutes, don't go anywhere"
"Oh I won't" I stated.
"Agh 3 minutes can't come fast enough" Heather said practically dancing in the back seat.

We waited. We waited some more. We sat. We sat in utter silence with Kiis playing in the background, until...

"Hey again Sydney, It's Delta Goodrem here"
And I'm pretty sure everyone on the freeway heard the roar from my car at that moment.
"My unbuyable and life-changing prize that I am giving away to some lucky fans is ..."

AND THE FREAKING RADIO STATION DROPS OUT!!
